LongLiveRalph Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 In a league where drafting teenagers is a shaky proposition at best, it looks like the Sabres really scored with their two 1st rounders in the '08 draft in Myers and Ennis. Nice job by the scouting computers and Darcy. In the past, their M.O. has been to miss terriblly on the 1st rounder but find a few underrated gems in the 3rd-4th.

With Miller playing the way he has and being locked up for the next few years, plus Myers, Ennis, Kennedy, Mancari, and Gerbe, I'd say we look to be pretty set for years to come. Knock, knock.

The NHL draft makes the NFL draft look like an exact science.
LongLiveRalph Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I wouldn't limit that to the Sabres. The NHL draft makes the NFL draft look like an exact science. Yes definitely true. The top-3 are generally pretty solid prospects...Everything else is a crap shoot.
shrader Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Back to back AHL rookies of the year and hopefully next year back to back NHL rookies of the year.

Although maybe pigs will suddenly learn how to fly as well? I hear you! I was wishing for BOS... JUst wait, the Hockey Gods will let me choke on it!
meazza Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I hear you! I was wishing for BOS... JUst wait, the Hockey Gods will let me choke on it! Boston is fully of pussies. Miller can own them by himself.
ExiledInIllinois Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Boston is fully of pussies. Miller can own them by himself. Whatcha go and do that for! Hockey God's: meazza is a Hab's fan! Punish the right team accordingly!
Celtic_soulja Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I don't think the hockey gods will have to punish the habs...OV is gonna do that regardless...Sabres should annihilate the Bruins...but Rask is sick and with a good goalie anything is possible I was hoping to make Briere eat it...ahhh well...
Mike In Illinois Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 From a Blues fan I say: Good luck to the Sabres! How about a hockey version of 'Talkin' Proud'?

ExiledInIllinois Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Wow... Just looking, almost half (11) of the NHL teams are 100 pts. or more this season. BFLO would have been 6th in the West! And EDM isn't that much out of whack... They have more points (62) than some teams had in the past (mid-2000's PHI/PITT/CHI) Parity anyone? EDIT: Have SO's been on the rise this season??
Mike In Illinois Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 If your Blue Notes were in the East they would be in! They would be in but they don't deserve to be. St. Louis has some money to spend and some contracts coming off the books (Kariya, Chris Mason, Tkachuk) so they could be very active this off-season (Kovalchuk?). TO me the hockey playoffs are one of the special sporting events of the year, regardless if my favorite team is in. When I was younger I loved to try to make it through those multiple OT games. And it always seemed Steve Levy was on the call with Darren Pang (bringing it full-circle, Panger does color commentary for the Blues. "HOLY JUMPIN'!")
