Health will always play a factor
But we're actually pretty deep up front
Carrier, Bailey & Baptiste are all ready
And Nylander & Fasching should both be close
Defensive depth is a concern for just about every team,
So hopefully we can get lucky as far as that goes
- jdfitz77

We should get D depth help the following year. Stephens we just signed, as an example, won't be ready this year for any NHL time but could be a nice call up towards the end of the ensuing season. I think we will have a few guys like that who are on the cusp this time next year.

Looks like the pens are done

How about The Flash last night?
Damn.....

I did not .. going to later

Yeah, Borgen possibly as well
We actually have some decent bottom pair type talent that can fill in though
Falk, Fedun, Austin, Nelson...
it's where we have to start moving guys into our top4 that really hurt us
Hopefully that's all changing though

In honour of this nice little run im reminded of this gem of a tweet. What a moron

I really think Borgen's legit. Not the same ceiling as guhle but I like his chances of being #4

Hopefully. I'm excited to see what we can do this offseason.

Borgen I think will be a prime example of a guy on the fringe this time next year...probably even better example than Stephens because he won't be helping out the AHL squad, so would be effectively coming out of nowhere towards the end of next season/start of 19-20. Time to sit back and wait unfortunately.

Think Fitzgerald can get there too?

He's awful too.

You're right. It's the TOR guys

That's an all-time dumb tweet

I haven't seen enough of him to have a strong opinion,
But it's probably too soon to tell

He went back in time to see his mom and dad banging, that's why he killed her. And then blamed it on reverse Flash.

I still hate the Sens too
Not as much, but still....

And they still have Chris Neil
And that scumbag Brian Murray is still a part of their organization

Toronto has worked their way up to my most hated
2. Boston
3. Ottawa/Philly... the hate lingers
5. Montreal
On the rise:
NyR & Edmonton
- jdfitz77

Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh hate em, Sens don't bother me, Neil plays 2 minutes a night nothing else offensive

So new guy in charge....how in the sweet (frank) do you expect him to get this team into the playoffs in 1 years time?
- Larsson_fan

Realistic thinking fans do not expect it. I can see us missing next year and possibly even the year after.

Think Fitzgerald can get there too?
- RhinoFan

maybe, he's got the offence but he's a bit of a mess defensively right now. hopefully straightens that out.

He's awful too.

just mind boggling the way they churn these out.

Pittsburgh is officially winning the special teams battle.


I kid

So if Ottawa wins this series, and Anaheim does as well, it will be a rematch of exactly 10 years ago.

Ew
I hope Nashville wins it all

The NHL's poopting their pants hoping that doesn't happen. It's already going to be the lowest rated SCF in a long time with Anaheim or Nashville.

I can't imagine it would be lower than the first one out of the lockout: Carolina-Edmonton.

You are one of the more intelligent Sabres fan. You have my respect.

I'm pretty sure last year was one of the lowest in a very long time.

I thought Anaheim/Ottawa was the lowest. Regardless, the majority of viewership comes from the North East US and a few scattered markets like Chicago. Nobody in those regions care about Canadian or Sunbelt teams so why would they watch? It's not a refelection on the quality of Hockey or star power, not that I think your suggesting that.

Going to take a little longer then that IMO.
