Afinogenov was a great player but was an absolute superstar when he played those awful Ranger teams of the Dark Ages. That brings back memories of some really bad hockey.

Anyone have any guesses as to what date the play in round will start? Guessing, not like heard of anything.

I would guess, since formal camps open on July 10th, the beginning of August

I like Buffalo too. Lots of family from there. And it’s a good town. I would love for them to get rolling again. Successful smaller markets means the league is healthy.

Baseball back in Japan as of tomorrow. Yay! of note, they’ve had a few Covid cases during training camp. It hasn’t derailed things. The affected players have come out of training, recovered, and as far as I know, will be playing when the season opens.

Wow that goes way beyond even the "normal" awful hazing things.

if even 10% of that article is true the CHL should be disbanded and their entire governing structure should be imprisoned

Haven't watched a lick of soccer that's been on the tele lately. But you reminded me, I've heard they are pumping in crowd noise. If so, how does that seem to work for you as a fan. Does it seem to coincide with what's going on the field?
Reason I ask is I wonder if they are going to do this for our games vs the Canes? You have to figure they'll have our goal scoring horn and the Canes will have theirs but just wondering if they'll pump in crowd noise.

I'm with you. I used to go to college up there(SUNY Brockport) and me and my buds would go to the old Buffalo Aud and the fan there are so passionate about their hockey. Me and my buds would take the hour or so drive from Brockport to Buffalo to go to the games anytime the Rangers came too town.
And back than in the early to mid 80's the Sabres had some damn good teams and were perennital playoff participants with guys like the Phil Housley's, Mike Foligno's, Gilbert Perreault's, Danny Gare's, Tony Mckegney's of the world. I don't see why they can't get back to where they can at least get too the playoffs again.
I kind of root for them a bit seeing they aren't in our division, they are no real threat too us and they are from NY. Hopefully the hockey gods will finally shine on that godforsaken franchise. Being a Sabre fan almost makes me feel as a NY Knick fan that it's a walk in the park...lol

The 80s was a weird time for the NHL as based on the playoff format, only three teams in the East really ever got consistently far (Islanders, Flyers, Canadians). Rebuilds and team building were also slower so it would take longer to build. Sabres, Whalers, Nordiques, even the Jets would always get punched in the face by round 2.
It's crazy to think the Rangers for all intents and purposes actually had a lot more playoff success than those mentioned teams in the 1980s going to the ECF equivalent x2 and winning at least one playoff round in 5/10 years. And that's a decade when they had no superstars.

Well, that's sickening.
The worst of it all is anything involving the coaches. Of course the kids are going to go full Lord of the Flies on their own, but there's no excuse for grown-ass men to encourage it. That takes a disgusting human being.

Sounds crazy... wonder how much is true or embellished. Hard to believe that’s all going on today - you almost think some stuff would get out just having idiot kids with smart phones - but sounds horrendous. Who would thought a guy like Carcillo - of all people - would be the guy speaking out about concussions and hazing.

I think Carcillo changed significantly as a person (for the better) when Steve Montador died.

lol I made a Lord of the Flies reference on the main board thread and it didn’t go over too well. Lots of illiterates on this site I guess.

Can't say I disagree. This is just psychotic shit that was going in if true. And I can't imagine that most if not all of this is true seeing who the F could or would make shit like this up.
Man this is really disturbing. This is like shit you'd see in one of those sick movies like "Saw" or the "Hostel". Can't believe this went on and recently too. Alot of peeps need to be sent to prison for this...my lord this is just horrible!!
