There's an image I'll never get out of my head.

Who steps in for Anaheim if Perry and Getzlaf decide to sign elsewhere?
IF they decide to sign elsewhere then Bobby would be top line center. Ducks have some great young kids in the pipeline. They would have to sign free agents players but they definitely won't trade for the ones we have now.
ESPN headline: "Sabres still in shock over Lindy Ruff's firing"
Based on the game I saw, the only way that headline makes sense is if the lede is "... because it took a lot longer than they thought it would." Sure it's only one game, but I said on Twitter that the Sabres looked like a team beyond waiting for the coach to get the boot and were taking a more active role in making it happen.

Yeah Im just shooting shit, never wen´t to Monterey, but I loved Santa Cruz, tried to surf at the peak but I was mostly in the way for others
Some people were really friendly trying to coach me though I know what you mean with the "bro" feeling, I joined the schools Ski Club. Most of the people couldn´t snowboard for shit but they still acted like they were superstars
I don't know man...so all of a sudden the Sabres are going to give a full 60 minute effort against the Leafs just because their coach is gone? They'll finish every check, make crisp passes, and not cough up the puck when bracing for a hit along the boards?

The Ron Roltson era begins... and Grigorenko is a healthy scratch still.
Would it be wrong to say it might have been better to send Grigorenko to his junior team? Because Grigs is under 20 years old, he is not allowed to be sent to the AHL team. And because Buffalo decided to keep Grigorenko up beyond the 5-game tryout, he is not allowed to go to his junior team anymore. It seems like a waste for him to be a healthy scratch every night. If he's not earning a spot with the team, his time would be better served in the Q junior league.

I don't see how one couldn't earn a spot on this Sabres team. Scratching him three games in a row seems entirely arbitrary when everyone is horrible.
Would they be worse off if it was Grigorenko giving the puck away and not clearing the zone instead of Hecht or Gerbe doing it? Or worse off if it was Grigorenko sitting on the bench for 57 minutes instead of John Scott?
It's not really about whether they'll miraculously start playing better or not. It's more the fact that teams tend to fire their coaches when their guys are playing like shit for extended periods of time. To me, that's what not-shocking about Ruff's firing, despite how long he'd been around.
It's more that Sabres fans existed in a world where firing the coach wasn't ever a real option. Sure, we'd yell and call for his head from time to time, but it definitely knocked the wind out of you hearing that Ruff was out.
Long over due? Of course. This team has been near unwatchable all year. But it's something that just doesn't happen here, for whatever reason.

Yes...they should suck it up and send him back down and eat the year on the ELC. They're fucking this kid over.

"Hey Corey... Ryan... You guys remember this guy, right?"
Seriously, after signing Souray onwards, Barstool has been making some great moves.
This will help us in so many ways. Glad to have Burke back on board. Was always a fan of BB.

That's actually just me giving a thumbs up while my hand is in my pocket.
Dude... What would happen if this is true? Evidence of Oilers tampering?

I'd try my hand at that but I don't know who coined the term "boxstretch" =/
Wouldn't we gets picks? And seeing how shitty that team is, we'd get top picks too.
hahaha I tried the same thing last week. I ended up just like you.
Man, I'd love to see something come out of this.

In the words of Harvey from Suits...
"Go easy on them"
"I won't"
"... Good boy"
I'm about to go into a job interview. You should see me repress my rage right now. It's some next level Ghandi shit right here.
But then my lazy ass has to turn on my 360!
I'm missing something here... why would the Oilers want Nick Schultz playing with Justin Schultz? I've been led to believe they're not related, and a quick search doesn't provide any information to the contrary.
Unless it's just the play style that goes together. I admittedly know very little about either of them, other than J. Schultz is a RH offensive D-man the Rangers wanted...

The Nick Schultz trade happened way before jackoff schultz trade and they were already wanting to pair them. Did they know they were going to sign jackoff before? if so, then they tampered.
:lol you can do all your picks for the week at once.
Give me a WP8 version and I'll do it!
Yeah I get the part that it happened way before, just didn't know why they wanted to pair them so much that they'd do a seemingly even value one-for-one trade if the Schultzs aren't related.
I get it now... Gilbert is a righty.
Oh, you were looking at the pairing aspect of it.

Did the Ducks even file tampering charges ? Is there an actual investigation going on ?
It took 4 years before St. Louis was busted for tampering with Stevens this wont get resolved for a while if ever.
I doubt they tampered.

Sick new Datsyuk highlight reel:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQek_SUBNw0
Includes stuff as recent as the last game against Nashville, and all the way back to his rookie season. Aside from Peter Forsberg, it may be the best highlight reel I've seen.

It would have been better if it didnt start with 90% shootouts in the first minute, but it gets much better.
I love the little skate deke at 6:40. He is insane at small stuff that gives him a couple of feets from the defender.
Nice that he got some of that Selke level take away to, as important to his game as his stickhandling(although it goes hand in hand).

Clemmer starting. What a fucking joke. Those poor people behind the Panthers goal are going to be sunburned by the red light. GG Flyers GAF, enjoy the win.
