ahhh, the wonders of lake effect snow, nothing in the city of Buffalo, but travel 15-20 minutes south to were I live and my area looks like a franking snow globe..
- hehateme


Ever see that time lapse of Buffalo during the November storm where it literally looks like a wall of ice separating the city from the southtowns?

I was at South Park and Tift at the time. Suffice it to say I wished I was another 3 miles north that week. Drive safe friend.

Yes, I believe the article said 12 on Canada's roster currently play in the KHL. It will be interesting to see what happens. They should just implement a rule that you must be under 24 to compete in olympic hockey but i guess that would be unfair to the rest of the sports that do not have age restrictions
- lulags


There's an age limit for soccer.

I think it is 24 actually.

Edit: 23 with 3 over 23 players allowed.

yeah, one of the things that infuriates me when anyone not from buffalo tries to tell me how much snow buffalo gets and I try to explain to them that's one of the biggest myths since Jesus Christ was born on December 25th

You think Scandella would be moved by deadline this year?

I dont hate the idea, but I think being the main part of that trade, we would keep him longer.

ROR could only net you a 1st and 2nd if you eat some of the cap, but you would have to eat that cap for the whole term of the contract, right?

The Amerks have seen better success this season but when you look at their roster, too many of their players are career AHL players brought in specifically play AHL hockey and make the team competitive. Only Guhle, Ullmark, Nylander, Baptiste and maybe Smith and Bailey are NHL "prospects". Considering how badly Murray managed assets it makes sense
- BernardShakey



That was the point. The culture argument. Make them good, so that when kids coming out of Junior or from Europe come into Rochester the team is playing well and they can get confidence playing against better competition instead of getting stomped every night.

Also a strong veteran presence (the correct kind) is good to teach kids how to be professionals. Just because they have the skill doesn't mean they know how to handle the grind of an 82 game season and all the travel that comes with it.

It would be soooooo fun if the NHL had "loans" for the playoffs.


The Sabres loan Jack Eichel to the Nashville Predators for a 2nd round pick for the duration of the year and playoffs

It would be 16 super teams in the playoffs

- jcragcrumple


And if Eichel were to be seriously injured in the playoffs playing for another team?

Northtowns might get a few inches tomorrow morning/night when the band swings through and then restarts, but that's about it.

Hey gerbs.. ever been in the ocean on a boat ?
Or why can't you see japan from california with a high power telescope? If the world was flat , you should be able to see until some mountain in Europe blocked your view.

Well that's the risk. It'll never happen, but it would be fun to see how high the price would go for a true rental

Don't worry Skynet will be our benevolent overlord by then and they will be magnanimous in their victory.
