@ByMHarrington The other East series is starting this Saturday. Can’t see them having the Sabres’ series game 2 the following Saturday. I don’t think they’ll want the two series that far apart. Game 1 Tuesday makes sense to keep them closer together.
@SalSports Any time you can trade up to use a second round pick on someone you hope never plays in the next few years you have to do it. Definitely better than getting someone who can compete for a starting job day 1.
@ByMHarrington Can’t TB, MON and BOS be 1-3 in Atlantic? Then DET and OTT get to 102. The islanders are the team that doesn’t matter. They will be top 3 in metro or won’t be able to catch BUF.
@Bulldogwgr A few years ago @DownGoesBrown wrote a piece about the goalie interference rules and my understanding from that piece is that it’s all about where the contact is made. Inside the crease is interference. Outside isn’t. Since the glove is outside that’s why I think it counted.
