Game Thread: Multiple games tonight.

[Upstater]

Thanks, buddy. I don't think the Flames have hit rock bottom yet, but it will be interesting to see what happens at this year's trade deadline and the upcoming entry draft. Next year is going to be scary, but there will hopefully be brighter days ahead in the not too distant future.

Maybe ditching those third sweaters could be a start?

No kidding, they're terrible and the Flames have yet to win wearing them.

There is some depth there with Enroth, Hackett, and Makarov. Hard to say if Enroth can take the reigns 50-60 games a year. TSN mentioned yesterday that Miller could be a fit in St. Louis with Halak and prospect/s coming back. They have a ton of forward depth in STL so I could see that working out.

Halak won't solve the Sabres lonterm goalie situation unless they sign him though. He's an UFA at the end of the season just like Miller.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Potentially. They are playing so much better lately so it will be interesting for sure to see what they do. I was all for trading Miller away but the more I think about it the more I want him to stay.

I do NOT want them to let Miller go. The Sabres brass has said they want to keep him and I hope they do. The fans that want to trade him are fucking nut's! The must not follow the game very well or they would see how some teams have tried for years to get their number one goalie. They don't grow on trees and it would be crazy to let him walk.

I'd consider St. Louis the favourite if they had Miller. I actually consider them the favourite now. People have forgotten that Halak is a pretty damn good goalie and Elliott is as good a backup as you can find (both in skill and mindset).

A Halak+ for Miller might work for both teams though.

I agree 100%.

Sharks at Caps tonight. Sharks have won 16 of the last 17 meetings with the Caps. Gonna make it 17 of 18 tonight.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Sens in Minny tonight trying to make it 7 straight with at least a point (5-0-1). They should be in tough against the Wild who have found their game again it seems.

How many minutes will neither Suter nor Karlsson be on the ice (top 2 in league TOI I believe)? I'd put the over under at about 14 minutes.

Took the Sabres three or four to win in those horrendous yellow jerseys they have.

St. Louis doesn't want Miller, they're an Anheuser-Busch town

During the Rolston era I was ready to send him packing. With Nolan I have changed. If he likes the direction the team is going and the new hires I think he could be talked into staying.

Yeah, but they're the KING of BELGIAN BEERS now.

 

[Upstater]

30 minutes to kill so I think I will watch a little Bruins/Leafs

 

[BOSSMANPC]

I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get NHL Center Ice. How much does the package cost? I know it may vary a few bucks but it's probably worth it.

The half season(which they're offering now), is like 99 bucks or something - it's higher than normal because the full season was higher

 

[Upstater]

Well there is a half season deal right now. I have it online since I work evenings. It is worth it. I think I have had it for almost 15 years I think.

 

[Upstater]

Also the ability to get home and away feeds is pretty cool too so you can choose who you want to listen to. For some reason (and I am not complaining) the Sabres games aren't blacked out online for me anymore

Thanks guy's. $100 bucks isn't too bad at all.

 

[Upstater]

Marchand scores for the Bruins. Next to Scott Hartnell he is the worst.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Bruins 1 Leafs 0 already.

Me likey.

EDIT: 6000!!

What are the odds that a milestone post would come on a goal against the Leafs?
