Re: Winter Classic - Sabres vs. Penguins
Draft is Wednesday night for my office pool. As per usual I will make notes, draft what I believe will be a good team then completely fall down by not making 150 roster moves to max out games played. :*(

Last year was the first time in years that I didn't get in on a fantasy hockey league. I blame whoever ran the Tie Domi league.

Re: Winter Classic - Sabres vs. Penguins
Do we have enough interest to do a league?
I can ask Adam, Nick, and Quack and see if they're interested.

Sabres re-signed Eichel. 8 years with an average value of $10M.

Re: Winter Classic - Sabres vs. Penguins
Still waiting on the Tavares extension. I know at least one Isles fan that has declared he is rooting "from a distance" this year as the team failed to get him signed.

Re: Winter Classic - Sabres vs. Penguins
Tavares is probably going to pull the same thing Stamkos did...get to free agency to see what's out there and then go back to the Islanders.

Re: Winter Classic - Sabres vs. Penguins
Holy shit. Jagr was born in Feb 1972, so he is roughly our age, which leads to this depressing stat.
368 players on opening-night rosters this year (52% of the league) weren't born when Jagr made his #NHL debut on Oct. 5, 1990.

Re: Winter Classic - Sabres vs. Penguins
He is 3 months older than I am. Someone said he needs 53 games to pass Gordie Howe for most NHL - he won't catch the total pro number I don't think, Gordie played until he was 50 in the WHL with his sons.
EDITED: I'm wrong. If Jagr plays 53 games for the Flames this year he will be the all time leader in games played. That's incredible.

I posted it the other day. I thought it was 57, but maybe I made a typo.

Forgive my ignorance; how many games in a season of hockey?

82. The NBA and NHL seasons are almost identical in length with the NBA starting and finishing about 1 week behind the NHL.

After 7 goals in 2 games, Ovechkin is on pace for 287 goals.

Just when I didn't think it was possible, Buffalo won the draft lottery.
