Ahh crap. I really liked him. Don't blame him since he's from Wisconsin.

Richie Dunn passed in 2016, sadly. Played against him once in men's league. Big horse; great guy. https://www.nhl.com/news/former-nhl-defenseman-richie-dunn-dies/c-282009526

So very saddening. My very first favorite right winger. Rest in peace, Rene. May your blades be forever sharp on that ice rink in the sky. I look forward to skating with you some day.

Thick Cut Bacon, sprinkled with ground pepper or even better - BBQ rub. Prepare in a shallow cookie tray with bacon sitting on parchment paper or tin foil (no mess to clean up). Convection oven at 400 for 18-19 minutes. Oh, and some eggs too if you want. Mmmmmm ... bacon!

I've said it many times. He's awful out there. He may win some face-offs, but he immediately loses possession and they get hemmed in their zone for a few minutes. He's brutal, and he's got to go.

Some good has come of this season: We've found out that: 1. Reinhart is a very good center. 2. Mittelstadt is a bonafide NHL player 3. Dahlin needs to be set free to do as he will. 4. No worse than the 2nd overall pick. 5. We got rid of the worst coach and system in the NHL. 6. Our young D can be very solid over the next several years. Bryson, Borgen and Samuelsson. 7. Dylan Cozens will be great for this franchise. 8. The Michael Houser Story - and NHL Network made for TV movie. 9. Anders Bjork looks very good on the Reinhart line.

Eakin is my new whipping boy. He is completely useless out there and he's on the ice at the end of every period, it seems. WHY? Every time they get hemmed in, Eakin is on the ice. I know we're short of players, but stop putting him out there against the other teams' top lines, especially at home. That's the only complaint I have so far regarding DG's coaching.

When I watch Cozens, it feels as if I'm watching a young Jonathan Toews. The kid is fast, skilled, tough, and gritty. What's not to like?

I'm thinking Irwin was executing a cross-corner dump-in, but instead he executed Okposo's ear. Poor fricken guy.

Krueger is GREAT! Only because he brought us our future offensive-minded coach, Don Granato. I love what I'm watching, and hopefully Eichel does, too.

He's at the top of the list for most useless Sabres this year. Good Lord he's horrible, and Ralph just HAD to have him on the team. What a joke.

I see what you're saying. If we didn't have so many high dollar/low result players we'd be in better shape. Why is McCabe not on LTIR?

Meh ...

Fixed it for ya!

With those noisy stupid T-Blades on his skates ...

Let us see if it is going to be sustainable ... PerreaultForever is correct. Gold star.

Learned it from Hall on Monday.

Well the previous 22 coaches (do I kid?) have determined him to be a right wing. We already have our 2C and our 3C on this team - Sam and Dylan - respectively.

I F%@$ing HATE the shell. HATE it!

I like a LOT about what I'm seeing since RFK was canned. I know we need more talent, but the system is much better.

I thought they played a really good game. But when the chips are down, they go into that damn shell and they always get scored on late. Stupid shell. MY. WHOLE. LIFE.

Tell me why. With Dahlin and Bryson we have enough "offensive defensemen." We don't need one on each pair. We need defenders who are tough to play against. I assume you've watched in awe as our team struggles to gain possession in our own zone and we all think to ourselves, "Here it comes" about 10 seconds before a goal is scored. Enough of that already.

Keep Borgen and expose Joker. Joker has tailed off and is lost. Borgen is a defensive defenseman the type of which we don't have enough.

I'm actually excited to see a system change if that was possible with 2 practices. I mean, I KNOW why Eakin is scratched, by why Reider?

They got at least SOMETHING for a pending UFA who was not in their plans. Hard to argue that. If he was any good he'd already have played a ton of NHL games, but he has not yet developed and likely won't.
