If Baker is gone, then I hope they go after Cousins hard and use those picks to upgrade at many positions

exactly what they should do... to many holes otherwise...

Nope... he the guy that tripped over the ice chip in the game against the Slovaks, that cost them the 3rd goal. Learn to skate first rook.

Compare his ncaa stats with Jack’s...
and Mitts is a year older

It’s not close man

He might develop into a great NHLer
But he isn’t YET

Man...
it’s like all or nothing with u guys

Isn't it okay for us to enjoy a player for once? Let's put it this way - we got the Best player in the draft at #8. Quit tampering with the buzz

Wait, so are you now making the point I was trying to make?

That if they are so bad how can the guys playing big minutes be good?

Their blue line is better than their forwards, ours is the opposite

Niether situation is great. But I’d take OEL/Chychrun/Demers/Goligoski over our top 4, easily

- sbroads24


Would anyone still take Nylander over Chychrun or Sergachev?

Hmmmm...
and I get mocked when I harp on us not taking defensemen in the 1st & 2nd

Doesn't turn the ball over
Can run for a QB
Accurate

We could do worse than him.

- steve5569


Agree...
but he’s not the “answer” either
He’s somewhere in the range of 15-20th best QB
We should get someone who at least has more upside

I want to develop our own QB

Every time he plays he looks exactly like a Patrick Kane
To think he was making those brilliant passes through that snow it's just mind blowing

Nope, nylander is going to be a bust.... snipeshow... give me a freakin break...
Watch nylander and watch mittlestadt and tell me who’s better... nylander still has years before he gets out of the ahl, if ever.

Anyone that mocks you for that is dumb.

I could care less where he goes... doesn’t affect me one bit. I’m sick of these 3rd generation hockey players that think they belong because of their name.... his stats this year are nothing special... you better be special if your getting picked in the top 5/6. I’m tired of potential.... produce. Period.

I didn’t understand why Chychrun fell so much.

Same with the kid the Leafs just drafted.

Just the way it happens sometimes. Same with Aaron Rodgers. The teams who drafted a QB (frank)ed up and then no one really needed a QB more than they needed other positions. And no one thought he'd be that good. I thought he was the best of that class, but I didn't think he'd be the class of the league.

I do not think people were mocking you for it.
I think it was more like trying to justify the picks made.

Nylander was highly regarded in that draft year, as was Silent Sam in his.
Let’s face it...these kids have a poop ton of talent..but the f-it-up either through taking a careless approach to their career, or they have head issues. Not sure how/if a scout picks that up
But it is odd how many 1st they have misjudged

So Darnold doesn't look very good from what I've seen so far. Is there something wrong with him, or is he just having a bad day?

Ohio’s D is playing great...making him SoCal one dimensional...the teeing off after him.

This is true. OSU D has been making life difficult for USC. Even still, I've seen Darnold miss some really easy throws (relatively speaking) I would expect a highly rated draft prospect to make.

Agreed. He is not having a good game to be sure...just wanted to give credit to the D.

I guess I was wondering if there was an injury or illness or something I hadn't heard about. Obviously good QBs can have bad days. Maybe this is just one of those days.

*Edit: And with that fumble, this definitely looks like one of those days.

I'm just in disbelief that a happening this great happened in Buffalo today. #USA


Then to have the Sabres win like that and the Amerks take first in the east. I'm blown away.

I just can't believe it. Everything from the gimmick of the outdoor game to the gimmick of wearing Bills jerseys. We threw it all up in the air. We lent our very cursed, very not so successful Buffalo brand to our most prominent national team and it worked out. We, Buffalo, USA, added a piece of hockey lore that can never be re-created or duplicated. And then the Amerks and Sabres did us a solid by rounding out the day.

crazy day for us buffalo sport fans

big spotlight outdoor game
usa down 2-0 early , 2 pp goals
team comes back to win


sabres down 2
score 2 goals on 3 shots in second period, come back in 3rd and close the door

rochester goes on the road to play their rival
despite stinking for many years, win with a shut out


I am not use to this
