Both Ontario teams will hopefully make it. Go cry more.Hopefully both punk ass Ontario teams will also miss the playoffs (which is likely already with Ottawa)

And your whole team is injured.I know people have been wrong about the Sens every year for the past few years but I think this year is the year.

Does okay mean cleared to play for the opener? legit question. Or is okay mean they miss a week or two tops.?
It's pre-season. They take guys out for precautionary reasons.

Lucy is Boston, the football represents the Bruins downfall, and all the this-is-the-year-they-miss-the-playoffs commentators are Charlie Brown.All summer I said the top 4 are still the top 4 and I still believe that.
But if Boston doesn't stop f***ing around and get Sway signed that could cause a drop.
I don't know who would take that spot because it seems like everybody in the Atlantic has some sort of major injury.
But I feel like Swayman is the death blow, he's the guy IMO, every team has their limit, every team has a point of no return and I think if the Bruins don't have Swayman that is their point of no return, that is the one they can't come back from.

This is year 5 under Adams. Not year 3. Kevyn Adams is the one who failed to extend Ullmark and Reinhart more than 1 season, and then finished in last place. Losing Ullmark for nothing, and then trading away Eichel, Reinhart, Risto, Montour, E-Rod, etc.The shift in the conversation around the Sabres this year is interesting and I guess kinda predictable.
The vast majority of posts I see have little to do with the roster and everything to do with a "they're not going to fool me this year" response.
To my way of thinking, the 'young team should get better' argument of last year still applies, it just gets tangled up in the fact that it didn't last year.
And it's really hard to separate what was year 3 of the Kevyn Adams total rebuild from a last-place team, from the failed builds of Jason Botterill and Tim Murray that came before.
I think the best way of looking at the Sabres chances is this:
How many of Thompson, Tuch, Peterka, Benson, Cozens, Quinn, Dahlin, Power, Byram, Samuelsson, Luukkonen and Levi will be better than they were last year?
If it's a lot of them, they will be in the playoff mix, if not they won't.
2 first overalls: Dahlin, Power and 2 second overalls: Reinhart, Eichel. Two of those guys have left Buffalo and won a cup.They should with 3 first overalls and a second overall, the other 2 had none of those.
In 13 cracks at the lottery the Sabres have never moved up a spot.
They're like 1 spot ahead of the Sabres. And a lot of it has to do with the changing rules of the lottery and the timing of their tank seasons.Ottawa and Detroit are tied for the most cumulative spots dropped in the lottery in the NHL.

The Sabres misery began earlier, back when there was only 1 lottery position, rather than 3 during the height of Detroit and Ottawas tanks, or 2 as it is now.
It's not a surprise that 2 of the tankiest teams during the time of the worst lottery odds for tanking dropped the most cumulative spots in the lottery.
How has Josh Norris looked this preseason? His father (Dwayne) was born in Newfoundland. I've been rooting for him.
Would you like to extend your playoff drought for an additional 6 years and finish in last place 4 of those years in order to get those 2x 1st OA and 2x 2nd OA?You're just not going to get a lot of sympathy from either Ottawa or Detroit with our combined 0 1st and 2nd overall picks.

Didn't think so.
