ESPN's Brady Henderson projects the Seahawks to release Brandon Marshall.

Marshall has actually been drawing strong reviews in practice, but Henderson believes the Seahawks will opt to go younger before possibly re-signing Marshall after Week 1, when his $1.105 million contract would no longer be guaranteed. Marshall is probably most closely battling Amara Darboh.


We have no WR's

This. Also he rarely wins any one on one battles along the boards. If and when the Sabres make the playoffs ,do you think this guy will be effective in that type of battleground.

yes, I do...in fact I think he's made some good progress and will continue that, possibly at an expedited pace...that blog and some of my replies may make me sound like a skunk-hater...I'm not...

just things to take into consideration when talking a contract extension for him

I agree with Pepperoni

Apparently Lehner never sharpens his skates:

Yes. They are on YouTube every Wednesday I think. Each one is about 15 minutes. I don't know how many they plan on doing, but they are pretty well done. Only two aired so far. Just search Buffalo Bills Embedded.

Cool, thanks, I think I remember seeing something about it during one of the games.

Game 1, 2nd period.

Heh, I wonder why I blew out my ankle. Can't be cause of my poopty skate blades.

yes he did...but the lingering question seems to be, what was the driving force behind that surge?
- Michael Pachla

I'm not saying he's that good, but a 40 game stretch like that is almost impossible to have for an average to slightly above average player like a few are categorizing him as. A 15 game stretch with 18 points? Sure.

I think he's a very good player. Even the best players need to be comfortable. Adam Oates forced Ovechkin to play RW for a while and it was awful, he started with 5 goals in 16 games, then, once Oates got his head out of his ass and put him back on the left side, he ended up with 32 in 48. 27 goals in 32 games. That's insanity. If only that wasn't a shortened season he would've hit 70.

I would argue the opposite. I always played with duller blades, I tried em sharp for a bit and was catching edges all the time just moving about the crease. I would sharpen just the first inch of the toe of my blades to push and leave the rest pretty dull.

Knowing what you're talking about is overrated; as evidenced by the daily edition of this blog, the commenters, not Pachla.

I almost wish Dahlin wasn't playing in that. The last thing we need is some Bruins 7th-round, Lucic-wannabe scrub taking out his knee

No offense meant, but I worked at a goaltending school for a few years...we would have told you that you do that because your legs aren't strong enough.

Sharp skates, for a goalie, are crucial. Every stop and start is dependent upon their sharpness. It's harder, at first, with sharper skates, but with proper leg strength, it would help in the long run. You stop quicker and get better push...what's not to like? We've all slipped out on dull skates and that can be a goal against as an example.

I have heard some goalies like Kevin Weekes and Marty Turco used to do the front sharpen as you did, so can't say it's impossible to be an amazing-dull edged goaltender...but scientifically speaking you are doing yourself a disservice by not acclimating to sharper skates.

As a non-pro, doesn't matter...but Lehner is missing a bet there IMO.
