Giveaways happen....upl has to save that...no need to drift that hard right

Thank you for the precise clarification. Cuttingly precise.

I love this thread. It's totally ok for us on these boards to lambaste the players and overly criticize their play....that is part of the gig of being a fan. But every once in a while...it is nice to take a moment and remember the dudes we are watching on TV are absolutely special at their craft.

Just texted my brother about that...really excited for Wednesday's game with a streak on the line.

Everybody...let's go streaking!

I still can't believe that goal I witnessed. where the hell did that come from???

Refs seem very happy to be part of this game

While I do agree the love affair for benson comes off a bit cultish....his two way game and overall style is desperately needed by this team. For me, it's not about benson being a point a game player...it's the expectation of when. He's so damn young still. I get he's playing at a pt per game level through 8 games...but let's not jump off a cliff when it drops to .55 or so by seasons end. I hope he proves me wrong - but I still believe he is 2 years away from his MAJOR breakout. Feel free to shut my pie hole Zach!

This is 100% the issue. The sabres youth movement on the surface was a fine idea - but it was run amuck. GMs (and fans) are too risk adverse with signing players in their 30s. Are the going to be in their prime regarding point production their entire contract? No. Are they going to help with leadership/knowledge and helping with the creation of roster balance? Yes.

I appreciate the effort of this post...very space ghostesque. Well done!

Well...NJ has to actually want him first.

That was.....pretty

Really liked tage knocking his man on his ass there. Cool play

I'm clearly in the minority here. I actually liked the way the team had been playing to start the year. I'm no KA defender and never will be....but to say this team has not been severely impacted by roster injuries would be horribly unfair. This roster has been gutted.

Just read an article on the athletic....looks like due to no practice or workouts while on blood thinners...he is out 3-6 months. Crazy bad luck Zach wheeler in baseball too
