Would give them their strongest top line possible out of what remains. But that makes a mess of at least 1, if not 2, lines in the middle.

In that Detroit game, Rasmussen took a Bogosian shot off the knee in the 1st and did not return. Looked very painful. No word on if he'll miss any additional time.

Can't put Cozens there. Kills the 2nd line. Would put Quinn there. At least to try it for a couple of games. Expecting it'll be Mittelstadt.

Playoffs? Heck, am hoping he's back next weekend.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him dress ahead of Asplund either.

You'd have to ask Inky or Ogre what they were for. They usually wear them once per year.

The ones not wearing reverse Habs sweaters.

We shall see, but would be surprised if this news changes Adams strategy for the next 6 days.

Don't understand your Q. Hinostroza doesn't have to go through waivers again unless he plays in 10 more Sabres games or is on the roster for 30 more days. Waivers aren't a factor in deciding who to bring up with Tuch hurt.

That's the hope. We shall see.

Expect there's a good chance of it.

Game in hand, game. ;) But right now, St. Louis might be the worst team in the league. That it took Pittsburgh until there were less than 6 minutes left in the game to go up is encouraging. [edit: and it turns out Pittsburgh needed OT to win it as the Blues tied it back up in regulation.]

Would go off the boad and slide Quinn into his spot the next 2 games.

Durn it. Get well soon, Alex. The team needs your forecheck.

Could absolutely see Adams bringing in a D to move Bryson and Clague to injury replacement status. Would be surprised if they bring in a F. If they did, it would almost have to be a low cost rental C to shore up the bottom six defensively, because doubt the blockbuster type deal happens at the deadline and if they just want to shore up the W's a bit, they already have Hinostroza spending time in Ra-cha-cha. Would love to see a true 1 brought in between the pipes, but just don't see the cost of such a deal at this time being appealing to Adams. And, the flip side to all this talk of getting another body to help with the playoff push is that being 1 of 6 legitimately (and theoretically 8, should a team or 2 a bit further behind get hot) fighting for 2 spots is even getting help doesn't guarantee they stay in the playoff spot they've worked hard to hold today.

You don't expect this place to be doom and gloom should the Sabres lose tomorrow &/or Tuesday? Hopefully we don't find out.

Fully expect Kane to be a Blue Shirt this afternoon or evening, but don't see how Kravtsov was the piece holding everything up.

Not really. He only makes $875k.

Anybody else read the title of this thread and expect it's going to be about ideas for how to win more games in the MMArena?

The Rags picking up somebody from Vancouver too? That move doesn't make sense on 1st glance.

And called that in GA's thread about this 4 game stretch being THE defining point of the season. (It is, in that it's the current games to be played, which are always defining in a way; but it isn't because they're still showing us the same things they've shown us all year. And that's tangential to this discussion anyhow.) The bipolarity of this board that we'll experience these last 25 games is going to be worth the price of admission. But the thought that the "panickers" (and really don't like that description of the people hopping off the bandwagon, however briefly) moved to Pittsburgh was the reason for the emoji @doohickie took exception to. They're all still here, and with a loss to Caps, or even worse, the BJ's and they'll all be overly consternated again. And agree wholeheartedly with your final sentiment.

Which is why it remains to be seen, but it had nothing to do with the Caps being possibly gassed. That would merely be a bonus. But if UPL is between the pipes, all bets are off. His issues are in his head, and not sure that he'll have the demons back in check by lunchtime tomorrow.

And this kid thinks the Sabres will play their best home game of the current calendar year tomorrow. It doesn't have anything to do wihtt the Caps being gassed, but the Sabres feeling it. And right now, they are. The Caps possibly being gassed is merely gravy.

Twas a joke. Thus the ;) thingy. ;)

They traded him to Buffalo? ;)
