I think the death of his friend and development coach the Jets brought in really had an outsized impact on how terrible he is. It may have ended any chance he'll ever have. He's not a very mature man. This guy was supposed to be his security blanket and guru at the same time. I suspect Wilson will go the way of Jamarcus Russel.

Wilson is gonna start drinking the purple drank?

I watched a few of their recent games

they're consistently inconsistent. Those win streaks will keep them in this exact place in the standings all year.

Kulich is gonna be fun, him and Rousek are nasty below the dot, don't like losing.

I was at the Tampa Bay vs Preds preseason game in Nashville and noticed this kid was the worst player on the ice at that time.

He's come a long way since that game.
He would fall more than Girgs.

Well if they didn't do it in the offseason, or the past 2 TDLs.. why would we think they do it now.

It would need to be a more complex move, like using Mitts to take on a similar player 2x as much, and a pending UFA or something.

That's why I said it's obviously not gonna happen

anyone else unsure if quinn and peterka are 2nd or third liners?
- homiedclown



There in the same boat as cozens was last year. Most thought he would be a good 3C. People saying he had stone hands.

This year looks like a future high end 2C. Kids need time to develop. In Adams and Granato we trust!

Cozens has to carry two rooks. I give him no criticism really. I think he's fantastic. And I was the guy who said he finished like Václav Varaďa last year. You can tell he worked his shot all offseason. He has maybe the 4th best shot on the team now.
Tage, Vic, Tuch, {Cozens, Dahls, Skinner} in that order as a close tie at 4th for me.

when the wonderful wizard of sabresland decided to throw jost at center a bit between olofsson and casey, I was hoping the wizard would have dropped one of the kids to the jost line and bumped up casey or olofsson

I am not sure but I think he can come back once Vinnie clears. In order for UPL to practice JJ had to be sent down.

So let's take a look in 4 hours.

Big Kid 6'3" 220lbs, interesting find. Looks like he's found a groove the last 5 or so games.

bucs cleaning house


The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are making more changes to their offensive coaching staff following the firing of offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich on Thursday.

Wide receivers coach Kevin Garver and running backs coach Todd McNair have also been fired, while quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen is retiring, per multiple reports.

If the Sabres had a better owner and GM, would Portillo already be signed?

And they are loaded with defensive prospects, so that makes no sense.
