Bogus choice. It's not Buff or Trouba, that's just speculation by guys that are certainly not NHL insiders any more than any of us are.

Neal was a real gutless worm out there tonight.

Thank god for Wheeler. He is carrying this team. Sucks to give up the point to Nashville. Season is likely over if Buff is out long term though.

I just don't think it's fair. Because a guy is dominant sometimes, he gets called out for not being dominant ALL the time? It's just not that simple. It's the NHL. Nobody is dominant every night. Even the best of the best have ups and downs. The fact of the matter is that this team would be drastically worse without Buff. He is my favorite player in the league and I'll be devastated if they get rid of him. There is no one else like him.

He's been our best defenceman in all but maybe 5 games this season. Trouba is good one in ten games, Myers is rarely an impact player, and the others aren't even worth mentioning. But for some reason its always Buff taking the heat, hmm I wonder why that is?

Ladd, OK I understand that, but Buff is one of their best night after night, and proving it again tonight.

You've gotta be kidding me with this crap. Listing what each player brings to the table and simply being "a rookie" is enough for the young guys? You're ******* ridiculous man. Total nonsense.

Always liked Dressler, hope he ends up here

Woosh

McMahon is awwwwwful. I have a better time at Mosaic.

I still don't agree that they are overpriced. There are going to be empty seats in the stadium regardless, but they want those seats to NOT be along the sidelines, so the stadium looks fuller on TV. It's not like the stadium would constantly be sold out with cheaper endzone seats, there just would be more people there and less between the endzones. Pricing this way allows them to shepherd people into the seats they want them in.

After all this time, Severus? Always.

All-time for me only goes back to 1992 or so, lol. Don't remember much before that!

Endzone view isn't bad at IGF... Could be a little cheaper. The real scam are the corner seats in the lower bowl. They should be the cheapest in the stadium in my opinion.

Watching Smackdown and loving the commentary. Mauro Ranallo is great and I believe we are finally seeing the return of Heel Jerry Lawler?!?! I sure hope so. Best heel commentator of all time! Was so sick of nice guy Uncle Jerry.

Yes, my first reaction was that it sets up a US Title match at Royal Rumble between the two of them, where Kalisto will likely win it back. That match couldn't happen if Kalisto hadn't won the title from Del Rio because it would look silly. Now Kalisto has some legitimacy and ADR has built even more real heat as a heel, they can have him refuse to fight Kalisto until RR, and give Kalisto a chance to cut some good promos in the lead up. No, for all the mistakes WWE makes, I don't mind how they are handling this feud. Could see a card of Owens vs Ambrose for the IC, Kalisto vs ADR for the US, and Charlotte vs Becky for the Women's, plus obviously the Rumble itself. Setting up a good PPV! Now let's just hope Lesnar wins the Rumble!

The point of the site is discussion. You are free to have an opinion and everyone else is free to criticize it. If you want to be the riderfans parrot and compare every player you don't like to Shomari Williams, then you're free to do that but don't cry like a ***** when you get called out on it.

I remember him using the "Better Than Perfect" gimmick while in WWE so he didn't totally drop all the Mr Perfect stuff until later. And I believe it is Social Outcast, not Social Injustice, not that it really matters. I don't mind Heath Slater, he is at least decent. It does seem weird to just throw a bunch of nobodies together but I guess the roster is hurting right now. Kinda feel for Ziggler but I would agree that he needs a bit of a revamp. Not sure there's anyone else who has fallen quite as far as he has. He's great in the ring but I've never really liked him on the mic.

Ok expert

Not sure it's been mentioned yet but the pick we gave up for Nichols went from a 7th rounder to a 5th when he signed an extension, according to Darrin Bauming. Oops I see now that it was mentioned.

Doesn't make any sense nice try though. Back to the rider fan forum for you.

Not sure that's even remotely accurate. Defensive line was one of the strengths of that team and we had Doug Brown and Jon Oosterhuis backing him up, with Donny O in the prospect pipeline. Criticize Donny O if you want but he's an 8 year CFLer and Doug Brown... Well his career speaks for itself.

Tate knows he is in an incredibly comfortable position and he seems to be okay with that. He gets paid six figures to stand on the sidelines and get his name printed on the Grey Cup every few years. It's remarkable that a guy with his laissez faire attitude could get to the level he's at but all the power in the world to him for knowing exactly what makes him happy and putting himself in a position to enjoy it for as long as possible.

As for the rest of the team, my concern before the season was our depth and it still is my main concern. This team has been extremely healthy all year, not losing any skaters to long term injuries. Take a guy like Little, Wheeler, or Scheifele out for the long term and I'm scared to see what would happen. Or any top 4 defenceman for that matter. Chiarot was okay with big Buff last year but I'd rather not test that again...

The difference is that Hutch played like a crazy person (fast movement and very reactionary, tough to be consistent with that style) and had already had a rough ride to get where he was with the Jets. Hellebuyck has been incredible at every level he has played at, he's remarkably sound positionally, and doesn't show the signs of someone who is just on a hot streak. I'd bet the farm on Helle being "the guy" for the long term. And my farm is ******* beautiful.
