my concern is the teams he was behind were both very solid defensively.. he probably took on more low risk shots which could inflate his numbers. we shall see though and i am excited
- IndianaSabresFan


you have to look at the positives he picked us because he sees a contender someday

I think his Leadership is going to be great for the locker room

played 40 games for the preds in a season a few years ago

61 games over the last 2 seasons


I think a split goalie system is what you need in a cap era unless you have an elite goalie and I don't think many goalies are elite right now

can probably count them on 1 hand

- homiedclown

i would like to see somethign like a 60-70/40-30 split.. unless one really starts rocking it.. injuries barring of course

"I am the face of the franchise and the keys will be handed to me this season, but Ryan refused to take a back seat. So we traded the bum because no one wanted to hear his whining any longer.”

i think a big factor in him picking us is because he wanted to prove that he is a #1.. not many teams were probably giving him that opportunity. but liking our team i am sure was part of it.

don't know about leadership, but i think he has to bring a hard work stick to it mentality considering he is still fighting for his position

they don't count shorties against you in PP rankings.. so maybe we can be a top 5 PP with the most SHG against. that would be interesting..
- IndianaSabresFan


Think Skinner will be on the top PP? Very curious to see who's on it, and how it evolves over the course of the season.

Maybe some Eichel-Skinner-Dahlin odd-man rushes

I honestly cannot wait for 3v3 OT with that Trio.

Idk, sounds risky. Maybe put out a checking line of Larsson, Berglund and McCabe instead

RoR accepted a trade to Buffalo on the same day he knew we were going to draft Eichel and he'd be the guy here. When the entire organization and city didn't drop Eichel and back him, he threw fits. I have no issues with any player wanting to be the star of the team, but you have to do it through actions, not demands. This is Eichel's year to prove he's the captain of this team and a 100 pt center. If he doesn't take the bull by the horns I'm okay with seeing if Dahlin will be that leader for us.

Please provide one example.

Because what I think you're really thinking about is a single interview where he said he lost his passion for the game "on occasion," and while that aint a great thing to admit, it happened once, and Jack himself got tempermental during interviews on several occasions in the same timeframe.

And all I'm really saying here is that ROR is not nearly the villain some people are making him out to be. He's gone, like Kane, Myers, and Armia. But he ain't a villain.

Best I could find from urban dictionary:

sissy boy
1.boy who lets people pick on him. they're too "afraid" to tell them to (frank) off. most likely an emo boy.

2.guy who's in a boy band, sings like a little girl, acts like a (frank)ing sissy.
1.sissy boy: *crying*

person:"why are you crying?"

sissy boy:"because that guy over there won't stop picking on me!"

2.sissy boy(in boy band)singing a gay ass pop song: *sings*

rocker: *beats the poop out of him with his guitar*
by Heather May 01, 2005

3. Sissy boy: Blatant disregard for Tim Hortons property
