Around the NHL - It's HERE!!

He's better. Everyone knows that. But he isn't better to the degree you're implying.

I wonder if you'd be singing a different tune if this team was finishing.

Also, how is it "denial" that there aren't any posts about him?

I won't do it again.

I won't do it again.

That was so brave of you to post about "Him"

Johansen flew back to Columbus with an "illness". Seems a bit odd

Diagnosed as Vanekitis.

bring up McDavid or accuse Sabres fans who don't post about players from other teams as being in denial?

Tortorellus minora. A small case of John Tortorella.

WTF is going on in Anaheim. They were Stanley Cup favorites going into the year. They've scored 6 goals in 7 games and have been shutout 4 times. And I thought our team was frustrating to watch.

More like a case of "being out of shape"


Cbj management had been upset with RyJo's conditioning and work effort for sometime it would seem. Torts is just putting his foot down I guess. What Jarmo wants, Jarmo gets

Stafford with two more goals tonight. Up to five for the season now. Good for him. He found a perfect fit in Winnipeg.

Maybe I'm too negative when it comes to Stafford but .... He'll top out at 17-23 goals. 17-20 assists. That's a nice year for him. I'd be surprised if he went much more beyond that

 

[OkimLom]

So not a lot of McDavid talk here. Denial.

Why does there have to be talk about McDavid on the Sabres board? There are at least three other boards with multiple threads following McDavid.

Big buff doing big buff thangs. what a joke...

Yup, he's looked like the player everyone wanted him to be in Buffalo ever since getting to Winnipeg. Good for him. Dunno about that beard he has going, though.

Right there with you. He never seems to be able to carry that kind of production through the entire season. Good for him, if he does...but Jets fans shouldn't hold their breath.

McDavid is becoming the straw that stirs the drink out there. Going to be right in the scoring race from his rookie campaign, IMO.

43 points is nothing to sniff at. That's a solid second line winger. Honestly, it's not too far off what I expect from Kane.

20+ goals is really good for the short-term, decent money deal he received. Anyways, he could top that given that he has 15 goals in his first 38 games as a Jet (playoffs included).

Man 90% of my Twitter feed today is about injuries around the league.

"It’s nothing with his heart," Johansen's agent, Kurt Overhardt, told The Dispatch on Monday. "He’s just not feeling well, and we’re trying to figure out why. His energy level has been down. There’s no alarm here. We want to do the right thing and make sure he’s 100 percent when he’s on the ice.â€

Too many lack of heart jokes.....

Odd that this coincides with his 3rd period benching. Suddenly he's not feeling well. Going back to the Contract dispute with the jackets last year, gotta think they are heading for a divorce soon.

He's been shooting at an unsustainably high % so far in Winnipeg. He'll come down eventually. He always does, it's his MO.

So I was watching the LA Kings game last night and they have McNabb playing on their 1st pairing with Doughty... and looked good too. I'm not sure that McNabb actually sticks on the 1st pair. We shall see.

Man, what a bad trade that would end up being if McNabb turns into a legit 1st pairing defenseman for the Kings. We gave then McNabb and TWO 2nd round picks for Deslauriers and Fasching. (A 4th liner and a possible what, maybe 3rd line winger?)

And I know hindsight is 20/20 (and we were deep at D at the time of the trade), but boy it would be nice to have a good left handed defenseman right now.

This is really a hindsight thing. At the time, I think fans were mostly thinking McNabb for Deslauriers was a wash of guys who peaked as bottom line/pairing players.

Then again, all's fair when you're paid to know more than the fans...

Hmmm.

Has nothing to do with being paired with one of the top 5 D in the NHL, I'll bet.
