BluPuk Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Just having a bit of a cool spell and it makes me think of fall hockey!! Let's get 'er goin' eh!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I agree. Baseball season is winding down, football season just started up......and that just makes me want some hockey back on the airwaves that much more. Besides.... the three horse Atlantic race between Tampa Bay, Toronto, and Boston should prove QUITE entertaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkyM Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I only expect the Flyers to be even better than last season. (that’s for all the many Flyers fans here) But I’m ready for some Penguins hockey on AT&T Sports Net! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there will be some strong waves from the Panthers too this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPuk Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 My favourite time of year. Nice sunny but cool days on the golf course. NFL goes into full swing. Fed-Ex playoffs on the PGA Tour. Baseball starting the play-offs, and hockey starting training camp. Woot! Woot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Panthers....and maybe the Sabres too if they can find consistent scoring..... being "problematic" or better for the other Atlantic teams. But it should still be TB, Tor, Bos for the very top of the division, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we have far more young talent and some good vets mixed in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is entirely possible Buffalo takes a major leap forward and is better than Florida, however, based on last years numbers and looking ahead to who will be on the roster, I get the sense the Panthers are actually deeper than Buffalo at this stage, however, starting with Eichel and Skinner, the Sabres have the potential to have a couple guys who can really bring the goals. But an injury here or there could derail the Sabres, whereas I think the Panthers can withstand a key injury here and there more than they can...hence why I think Florida is deeper. And the Panthers' defense corp is much more experienced as a unit than Buffalo's, with more solid bodies pairs one through 3....BUT, just like the forwards, the Sabres have two guys who can absolutely turn things on their ears (Risto and Dahlin), if things pan out right for them. I still think unless players step up on the Sabres and Eichel, Skinner, Risto, and Dahlin play like superstars, that the Sabres will have trouble finding goals consistently.....the lineup simply doesn't scream "multiple scoring lines" to me just yet. And ALL this is to be better than Florida, Ottawa, and Montreal..... the top of the division still belongs to either TB, Tor, or Bos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
