maybe phil is bringing out the best in some of these sorry sacks

I don't subscribe to the theory you need a letter to be a leader


this falls on the shoulders of about 14 skaters every night and 2 guys between the pipe


it's pathetic that they are playing at last years pace again

- homiedclown



I agree. But is there any accountability? I don't think so. You can play like poop all year and as long as you are a veteran in this league you still play.

If i am a young hungry player in this organization, I am very discouraged in the fact that there are bums ahead of me doing nothing to earn their spot but because they are a vet they get a shot over me. Not only do i not get a shot, but i am shown as long as i put my time in i can float around with no effort and still get playing time.

E Rod has double the points of Tage,
playing with the same players

- jdfitz77

Yeah, I mean this is false for the most part

He’s played 100 less minutes with Sobotka than Thompson

100 more minutes with Reinhart

80 more with Skinner and Eichel

25 more PP minutes (which is 12 1/2 full PP)

That’s not remotely the same usage

Hughes and Kaako are the consensus 1 and 2. I would include Podkolzin in that tier. In that next tier 4-9 there is Cozens, Boldy, Zegras, Dach, Krebs, Byram/Broberg and Turcotte in that group. At 10-15 there is a strong group- Newhook, Kaliyev, Suzuki and Soderstrom/York. If the Sabres are in that 10-15 for their own pick, they'll get a good young player.

Just a guess but if we are in the 8-10 pick, I would like Boldy or Broberg. If it's 10-15, Newhook or Kaliyev, maybe Suzuki.

There's a dude named BROBERG? we gotta get him, bro. berg.

If Tage ever threw a punch, it would glide by, right outside dudes ear.

Samson can throw mittens.

No one fights him for a reason. He's a knockout artist.

Samson Reinhart once fought Larry Robinson in 1983. The entire Montreal Canadians fan base was shocked as a -12 year old child knocked out one of the best ever with a single right cross.
