Ehrhoff and Letang are both out. They have the Sabres defense of 07

They had to play with only 5 d-men for a couple games because that is how many were injured.

Ok, so we disagree about the value of adding Crosby to this roster.

Correct. Which is what is supposed to happen here... I think.

If that was the case, wouldn't it reflect on the score sheet as well?

it is. And in number of games played.

Disclaimer - this is about my game people...

I fired Nolan, Trottier is now my HC and has the following players on the roster:

Evander Kane, Marian Hossa (just picked him up off of waivers), Ennis, Simmonds, Moulson, Girgensons, Grigorenko, Duclair

Here are some crazy pairings:

Bourque-Ennis-Hossa
Moulson-Lee-Simmonds
Foligno-Girgensons-Gionta
Deslauriers-Grigorenko-Kane

WTF?!?!

Guess he went to that open bar you're talking about

This is almost as interesting as reports on what happens when someone runs the draft simulator 100 times.

He'd be the best player the Sabres have ever had, ever.


Also, tank - ethical or no?

Sabres - Doomed or not?

Will they score 72 goals in the next 2 games.

Will Arizona ever get another point in their existence, ever?

A guy is taken prisoner by a bunch of militant Irish, and told he will only be released if he passes three tests, each one to be completed in a separate tent: in the first tent, he has to chug a flask of the most powerful Irish whiskey ever distilled. Then, in the second tent, he needs to de-fang a ferocious Irish wolf whose fangs have become infected Finally, in tent 3, he has to satisfy a beautiful Irish princess, who happens to be a nymphomaniac and has never been "exhausted."

The guy goes into the first tent, the sounds of slurping are heard, and he comes wobbling out drunker than a skunk about ten minutes later.

He walks unsteadily into the second tent, and all hell breaks loose. There's growling, and yelling and sounds of a violent struggle. The wolf howls and barks, and there's fierce grunting and swearing. After what seems like an eternity, the guy emerges.

"All right," he says, "where's the broad with the toothache?"

Hasek is debatably a top 10 player of all time.

Crosby thus far is not and has a long long way to go to even be considered.

The Player's Tribune has had some really excellent hockey articles from guys in the game (or retired). This one on elite defensemen does a great job of breaking down some of the key tendencies of top dmen in the league, but keeps it light and even has gifs:

Um. It has. He scored 20 more points just last year.

BTW the 15 are:

Teows, Bergeron, Tavares, Datsyuk, Kopitar, Giroux, O'Reilly (yep I went there), Zetterberg, Hossa, Voracek, Backstrom, Callahan, Eriksson, Simmonds, oh idk

that's 13. I could honestly put someone like Pomminville here, Thornton, Burrows, Oshie, Bakes, Kesler...I'm talking all-around players here. They don't have to just light up the scoreboard.

I take Teows on my team 10 times out of 10 over Crosby, Stamkos, etc...
BINGO!
