Meh, not a fan of Billy even during his days with the Devils. Still remember his stupid contract hold out. He was basically a 3rd liner who thought he was a 1st liner

It's the NHL off-season! 30 out of 31 teams got better! But don't sleep on the Blue Jackets, they might surprise some people!

I still remember Sid Bream's slide (oddly against the Pirates) while playing for the Braves what eventually sent them to the 1992 WS against the Jays!!
His nickname was laser Bream because he was so slow!

There is no such time unfortunately. The leafs are so far away from the sabres it's not even funny. I remember the good old days the laughs couldn't buy a tie or an overtime loss in Buffalo.

Now Austin Matthews rips two wristers past my ahl goalie every single game in a 6-2 loss and I'm left hoping I can be better than the Panthers somehow.

But hey! Ralph Kreuger is the best coach who wasn't even in the NHL to ever live! He almost got Edmonton into the playoffs, and that's as good as winning a cup in most cities. And I got Jimmy Vesey on the seventh try! Him and Marcus Johansson maybe will score 40 goals each so I can be a good offensive team!

Love the off-season!

I remember those days, leafs going to buffalo was a guaranteed loss. That ryan miller guy...pretty good.
Let's hope the sabres can get back on track and we'll see you in the playoffs soon

Another great story is Guerin was always first to get undressed in the locker room. Allowing the other players to just be great and have the pressure taken off them...especially Crosby

Special note here to how Guerin and Tkachuk once threatened Andy Strickland that he had to introduce them to me....

I should have stopped before this gem but at least I had a good laugh.

Technically, yours has been 45 years longer than ours, seeing as yours started in 1967 and ours didn't happen until about 7 years ago.

We can't all strive to be so great as to have had a 53 year long rebuild but hey, you guys are really good against all the other teams that were great when there were only 6 teams.
