All hearsay at this point but it involved Callahan heading back home to New York...

Not sure who ends up in Ottawa...

Ralph335 · 07-06-2018, 08:24 AM

Tampa would be absolutely loaded if they can pull off that trade.

Leafs sign Tyler Ennis to a one year deal.

A bit undersized, and I'll be honest, I haven't seen much of him since his days on the Sabres, but I think it's a good depth signing. Nice to see them going more for speed and skill instead of Matt Martin-type players for the fourth line.

Ennis is legit. Saw him play a lot in BUF. Lots of energy and pretty good skill, albeit in a small package as you said. Nice signing.

Good to know. I'm sure he'll slot nicely onto the 4th line. Pretty soon I think it'll be time for Dubas & co. to focus their undivided attention into fixing our current d-man situation.

Montreal's looking like they plan to join the Islanders in a race to the bottom. Yikes. I feel for Carey Price.

What's the rush, you looking to finish your season already?

I actually enjoyed the season where the Leafs finished last. We got to see some of kids play, and the latter half of the year was actually somewhat exciting.

I wouldn't discard your entire season just yet, but definitely don't set the expectations too high either.

Hurricanes are looking much improved... on paper at least.

So are my Sabres. People are even dropping the P-Bomb already

cotmfk · 07-13-2018, 08:23 AM

The Hossa thing is so weird at this point.

I agree on the Hurricanes assessment, but Buffalo, really? They'll be better no doubt, but I think they may need one final season to get their core in full stride.

You'll always be remembered doing what you did best. Beat the shit out of other goalies.

Sad...realize he drown, but wonder what happened.

ShopVac · 07-16-2018, 09:12 AM

So, digging around...looks like Ray Ray had some post NHL issues going on. This may turn out to be enlightening when all is said and done.

There are some bad pics posted here...dont click if easily offended.

Anyone else suspect anything different with this now?

F30inthe6ix · 07-16-2018, 11:30 AM

I wanted to mention something along the lines of "dude was pretty f'd up tbh", but I figured I shouldn't out of respect.

Yeah, not surprised at all. RIP regardless.

Honestly, if this is the case, survival of the fittest, I have 0 respect for those who use and abuse (and believe the 'disease' comment is bullshit)

Ralph335 · 07-17-2018, 09:10 AM

Regardless of the guy's issues, it's still tragic. The dude died at 35.

Hold your horses son. The Sabres have "been on the brink of the playoff" each July the past few years. They are still a few good players aways from going anyplace.

I said "people" not "me."

Meaning... articles, radio, TV.

I guess we shall see!

Sabres just keep getting better.

Picked up Skinner from Carolina today.

Looking like a real battle shaping up in the Eastern Conference!

That is a good pick up...no idea what Carolina is doing now. They just need to go away...like to Quebec.
