Nhl All Star Voting Zemgus Girgensons Is Piling Up Votes And That S Great

Sabres center Zemgus Girgensons, who’s a solid young player on a terrible team, extended his already hilarious lead in All-Star voting; Girgensons’ 803,805 votes, per the league, are more than double the next closest player (Patrick Kane, 375,758). In other words, Girgensons added about 400,000 votes in a week. Let’s cross our fingers and hope it’s an actual push by Latvians/Buffalonians, and not some dude running a script in his attic....

Nhl Draft 2018 How Rasmus Dahlin Can Fit Sabres Fast Track League S Slowest Rebuild

Of course, every person has differing criteria for affixing the “franchise” label on specific players. With all due respect to the likes of Jason Woolley or Brian Campbell, however, the most likely common answer you would get is Sabres head coach Phil Housley, a 2015 Hall of Fame inductee who holds the franchise record for career points by a defenseman.

Nhl Mixed Bag Making Sense Of This Metro Division Madness

Remember a few weeks ago, when Mike Babcock was asked about the outburst of goal-scoring in the NHL? He said something to the effect of, Enjoy it while it lasts, because it’s about to go away.
