There's a better chance of Goober getting fired before the end of the season.

1. The roster is not hopelessly flawed. This should be about the defensemen he HASN'T brought in yet. Because Franson wasn't signed to be a top 3 solution, and the trade for Bogosian wasn't about Bogosian, it was about Kane. Myers wouldn't be any better on this team than Bogosian. There is nothing wrong with the forwards on this team. After two months into the season of being dead last in scoring, this team has moved to 23rd and on pace to score more than last year. This is considering the poor transition game from the defense and complete lack of possession time. I'm pretty sure the Sabres are near the top 1/3 in scoring since New Years. 2. Refer to #1 3. Legwand? You really want to criticize Murray because of Legwand? The team had no cap issues, and he played the role he was brought in to play. McNabb? McNabb has been a healthy scratch several times this season, and is usually #7 when their defense is healthy. He would be below Bogosian on the depth chart on this team. This is a non-issue. None of the draft picks that went to the Kings in that trade have even made it to the NHL. So far he won this trade, and that's without seeing what Fasching can do. And you certainly can't grade a trade when the other player coming back has had a messed up back the entire season. We've been down this road before, you don't know anything about Kulikov. If he didn't get injured, this was a fair trade. 4. His inability to inspire a team? Really? He is a GM.......... he is not a coach. If there is any criticism to be thrown at Murray it's the hiring of Goober because it's HIS job to inspire the team. His inability to recruit free agents? That's not his fault. It's Buffalo........... I wouldn't go there either if I had more than one option. Hmmmmm................... Dallas or Buffalo............. Hmmmmmmmm............... New York City or Buffalo.............. Hmmmmm............ 5. Lehner is SIXTH in the league in save percentage behind what you call one of the worst defenses in the league. How can you seriously expect any better? Miller was routinely well below sixth each season in save percentage yet this place thought he was a god. If you could tell any GM they could have a young, fiery goaltender in the top 1/5 in save percentage for a 1st round pick, 4/5 of the league would take it in a heartbeat. If he has serious flaws, his .921 save percentage says otherwise. 6. THIS is the main problem. You finally got one right. ;) Replace the coach, work on defensive depth, concentrate on signing Kane, and if you can get another top 3 defenseman without giving up the farm............... do it. Nothing major needs to be done. This team sucks and it's all on Goober's shoulders. Almost half this team moving forward is under 24 years old.

I'm dumbfounded that this team is now in the discussion with Vancouver, Joisey, Glendale, Detroit, Dallas and Loseipeg. How embarrassing. Feel free to tell me to STFU if I'm rambling.

Is WGR just not covering Goober's presser because it's 1:30 AM, or did he just say ' it, not gonna go through this again'?

Wash, rinse, repeat............... Hey Jack, there's only 11 games left!

At this point they're not even going to improve over last year.

Nice to see the team really give the fans something to look forward to next year.

Well, that should just about do it. Sabres will end up with :53 possession in the 3rd period.

If it means anything to the Jimmy Vesey Fan Club, he has 4 goals in his last 40 games.

There's a difference between benching and giving less playing time. You bench players for floating, you give less playing time to those with less skill. To say Gorges is floating is unfair. He's one of the few left who gives his all every night regardless of his talent.

I'd say the chances are promising. And to all a goodnight.

The San Jose crew is just tearing up the Sabres and how bad they are in the neutral zone. And they're 100% accurate.

I agree, it's not all on Rob and Dan. There just needs to be three guys if they're going to have somebody on-ice. Back in the day it was just two guys, but they were booth in the booth. Rob tries to be funny, only because Dan is so dull. Marty, Rob and RJ are a pretty combo, you're right.

The last three power play goals given up by the Sabres have all come with Falk in the box.

Dunleavy-Ray just aren't gelling, they aren't getting any better. I don't pay much attention but I think BFLO might be the only team that uses two guys when an on-ice reporter is included. Sorry Dan and Rob, on to the San Jose broadcast.

How about that Thomas Vanek. Career high 4 assists tonight. Not a-tall.

The Weather Channel names winter storms like NOAA names hurricanes. This is Stella. What I want to know is, where were the first 18 storms?

Looks like he's playing top line minutes (#2 minutes in 2016) behind Chris Lee, an ex-AHL'er who could never crack an NHL lineup. Does that mean anything? No. Just pointing out his minutes.

No way I'm taking Stafford over Larsson, Foligno, Gionta and I'd even go as far as to include Moulson............. cap hit not taken into account.............

Anybody have some PAltrex?

You're not the only one. I was kind of surprised too. But wasn't he just cleared?

Storhamar just beat Sparta in Sweden 2-1 to become the longest hockey game ever. World's record. 8 OT's, 217:14 of play and 8 hours, 32 minutes long.

Peters is definitely much more comfortable in front of a camera than May.

Maybe because some of them have actually watched Kulikov in the past and have seen what he is capable of doing.
