Dude you legitly made me scared as (frank) when I read that because I thought that happened right now..Holy poop

But hey, at least it's a good year for the draft

Let's hope he has better luck than with Vesey

I'm guessing the 2 haven't met before
Don't think they've been on a national team together yet
I think this is Cal's first time...

noah hanifin is also going lol

Jack Whispers to him " a room will be available for you when we trade for you"

Jack gets injured at IIHF. Richardbag Bylsma stays on as HC. Murray names Reinhart his new Captain because he was his first ever pick and he's so cerebral and it turns him on. Gorges plays 25 minutes a night and ends the year -672.
- Khmylev

Don't forget Okposo never playing again!

this team got healthy, could have went on a nice run and got into contention

instead they played as if they were in full tank mode

team signed okposo, got murray's top 4 d man, and a decent back up goalie

and still played worse
- homiedclown

By that time...
there were other factors affecting performance other than talent & health imo

Vets vs kids
Kids vs coach
General frustration that built up throughout the season
Etc etc etc

That is true .. always looking on the bright side of things

Hockey players want to play hockey. That's why there are so many local leagues for pros during the summer. gotta stay on that ice. I see no problem with Jack going.

they had the yotes and colorado

back to back wins would have put them inside 3 points from top 8

If u were Carolina, Hanifin for...

Reinhart +
Or
Duchene

I'm guessing they'd prefer Duchene
That trade would just seem to make too much sense not to happen

Thats where they spit the bit.

pretty healthy lineup as well then

if they get duchene they are competing for the next 5 years


shows how bad the sabres are, we are more than a player away from competing

Yeah, I know...

But we had been hearing about "locker room issues" for quite a while
Idk that it caused us to lose any particular game...
but I do think it had a building effect throughout the season

What I'm trying to say,
is that there were some factors that contributed to us losing that weren't fixed once we got healthy...
and just got worse as the season went along

So Team Canada wants nothing to do with Sam Reinhart..

Sad

- homiedclown

Yeah, two
Two top4 defensemen

Antipin looks like 1 of them, assuming he still signs
Can Murray trade for another without giving up Sam or Nylander?
If so...
I like what's going on quite a bit

Eichel wants to play some meaningful hockey
Can't fault him for that
Go USA!!!

When were we healthy?

I saw a stat, didn't obviously check each game myself, but it stated that we had a total of 9 games with a full top6 and top4. 9 out of 82 games with our best players playing together. We aren't a deep team, we need our best players to play.

There needs to be more effort and I agree about the Disco having to go. At the same point, to say that we didn't suffer greatly from injury losses I think is a stretch at best.

He should rehab his foot for the summer and focus on off-season training

What happens if he gets hurt at this meaningless tournament are hockey season is done

He just got over a serious injury I was hoping he would take precautions and just rehab it and be ready for next year

But this could be a plan to get Cal here.. Sabres Send their captain to show cal what he will be missing out on

So Team Canada wants nothing to do with Sam Reinhart..

Sad

But he's so smart!

for the record

eichel said it

now they are on damage control
- homiedclown

Just like Bylsma was already going to be fired?

If only you followed such sage advice from many of us with more knowledge and experience in life like you are attempting to dispense to Eichel...
