Beerball Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 @BuffaloSabres GM Tim Murray on Fasching: "We believe he has the potential to be an effective NHL player & wanted to bring him in as soon as possible.” Hudson Fasching signs his entry-level contract, via @GopherHockey. Welcome to Buffalo, @Hfasching22! Call him Fast-Cha-Ching! @Hfasching22 Extremely honored and excited to be a part of the @BuffaloSabres organization! Can't wait to see what the future holds! They couldn't give the kid a chair? Terry is cheap.
GG Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 They couldn't give the kid a chair? Terry is cheap. That looks like the reception area. They didn't want to let him into the offices prior to signing the contract.
shrader Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 It'll be nice to actually see a game in person tonight. I don't think I've been at a rink in over a year.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 3-22: HUDSON FASCHING ON HOCKEY HOTLINE (12:59) Hudson Fasching joins WGR on Hockey Hotline NOWFasching says the plan is for him to join the Sabres. Does not know when he will play. Could be Saturday.
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 That looks like the reception area. They didn't want to let him into the offices prior to signing the contract. Because he has his skates on... They would cut up the rug or leave marks. ;-) ;-) This Hudson guy is all work! :-) They couldn't give the kid a chair? Terry is cheap. And if you notice... This looks like it was signed in Minn. He's @ the University of Minnesota. No? 111 players played in the NHL that went to University of Minnesota, ie: "Golden Gophers." Is he 111 or 112... Seems like they have an easily chargeable counter... They must pump out the NHL players there. Wasn't Vanek a Gopher?
26CornerBlitz Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 @BuffaloSabres Eichel on Fasching signing: He's a real good player. Know him pretty well as a person & a player. Sent him a text last night; he's excited. Coach Bylsma says the plan is to get Hudson Fasching practicing with the team later this week and go from there.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 22, 2016 Author Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) @BuffaloSabres Chad Johnson is our confirmed starter tonight. #BUFvsCAR Edited March 22, 2016 by 26CornerBlitz
K-9 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 They couldn't give the kid a chair? Terry is cheap. That looks like the reception area. They didn't want to let him into the offices prior to signing the contract. He was at the University of Minnesota when he signed that. He won't be in Buffalo until later today. GO SABRES!!!
GG Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 He was at the University of Minnesota when he signed that. He won't be in Buffalo until later today. GO SABRES!!! Good thing that Darcy isn't around to operate the fax machine, then.
K-9 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Good thing that Darcy isn't around to operate the fax machine, then. HaHa! Darcy was technically challenged. You can't send faxes to the league by shoving paper into the espresso machine and pressing the buttons. GO SABRES!!!
GG Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 HaHa! Darcy was technically challenged. You can't send faxes to the league by shoving paper into the espresso machine and pressing the buttons. GO SABRES!!! I know. He should have asked Whaley for tech tips.
bbb Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 What happened to that kid we signed a few years ago after his college season was over, in a similar way. He was from San Diego, which was getting a lot of publicity, and played pretty good, I thought. But, I have no idea who he is or what happened to him.
shrader Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 How many Raleigh based folks going tonight? I'm there. I don't know where I'm sitting yet though because my brother bought them. He said something like 13 rows up. What happened to that kid we signed a few years ago after his college season was over, in a similar way.
