Carolina maybe? I mean they seem desperate if they’re signing Aaron Dell to a PTO contract.

Fair enough. So how’s this: we need him to keep from losing more. Whatever the increment may be, he makes us a better team with his play. The best players play. It’s that simple.

Quinnbound! But I’m thinking Greenway instead as I’d be surprised if Quinn plays before that expected January return. But hey, if he’s ready, he’s ready. Edit: Just saw the news about Quinn in the other thread. Quinnbound it is!

He should do well in Rochester.

I’d be interested in knowing what pace all the teams ahead of us have to play at to meet their playoff goals as well. But I’m way too lazy to do the work. 😂

What were the Bruins thinking when they decided to keep an underage rookie when he should have been sent back to juniors immediately after training camp? They’ve probably ruined the kid by rushing him. Oh the humanity!

“Top 5 pick” is just another arbitrary metric. As for that higher threshold, does the fact that he’s been one of our better and most consistent players all season matter at all?

I’m not faulting the Sabres one way or the other. Nor do I think it has anything to do with what he wants if he stays or goes. I was addressing the projection that the Sabres are depriving him of his dream by not loaning him to team Canada for the U20 worlds. I’d be just fine with it if they did. And he doesn’t appear to have been rushed at all to this point. He’s holding his own in the best league in the world. Your arbitrary insistence that Calder Cup contention has something to do with that notwithstanding.

I’m all for letting a kid “live his dream” but are we 100% sure that’s what he wants?

Allen had a similar play last week from six yards out. These push plays are becoming more common as we see one every week around the league at least. Used to be illegal back in the day.

I’m not asking him to do that, but the example he is setting is superior to many players on the team, so there’s that.

You lost me at “rational discussion.”

Let’s turn that fear into Benson infusing the team with his hate to lose attitude instead.

That’s the point.

I think he means if Oopie hadn’t brain cramped on the first goal, it would be 1-0.

Neither do the Sabres.

He’s in love with his dangles.

Oopie is a phuckin idiot.

It’s amazing how often we make crappy backup goalies look like HOFers. Our guys can’t shoot for sh!t

3rd in four doesn’t help, either.

Yep. Skinner is probably wondering when he acquired half the 200 foot game that Benson has.

So far skating in mud and getting their assess handed to them. Coyotes also played last night. No excuses. Time to start moving their feet.

Not surprised after he got rocked last night. But he was having a bad season prior to that so it was just a matter of time anyway.
