Weave

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

Go Jagr or go home.

Not speaking regarding Hall specifically, but there is value in picking up a rental for a playoff run. The experience gained by the young core of this team would be very valuable and may very well shorten the timeline to consistent playoffs and playoff series wins.

This seems most likely to me. Would be interesting to hear a more current player with a Robie level personality that hasn’t been cleaned up too much and hear the vernacular today.

I thought they had said this is a Blue and Gold feature and would be available on the Sabres site and youtube.

Agreed.

Holy crap.

I'm genuinely surprised he's not getting more love here.

I'm mostly in agreement with you re: Montour. I don't see his play as materially better than Scandella's for sure. Or Bogo to date. Or Miller for that matter. It seems right now we have 5 or 6 defenders that are pretty equivalent.

Morning drinking is awesome.

I’m not sure “good enough “ was the catalyst for the trade chatter. Granted, I’m putting words in someone else’s mouth. Is he the right person for this team to move forward was the question as I understood it. He’s been showing over the last few games that he could be the right person. Consistency will be the key.

I don’t think Johansson is getting enough credit in this thread. My eye test has him very good at entries and he just simply makes plays. He had a couple of beauty set ups in OT that didn’t get cashed in. Prior to his injury I would have called him our 2nd best forward.

The lure of chance is a multi-billion dollar industry. Folks of all walks of life succumb to the siren song of one more spin of the wheel. No surprise here that I agree with you, the time to shore up the team is now.

You know the NHL is run by dinosaurs when the KHL has better technology to judge goals. For F'n sakes, isn't that league nearly bankrupt and they have puck sesnors?

No prediction on the won-loss record for the month, but this will be the month that tells us what we really have. Teams are playing for the standings now. The push for the playoffs is starting. This stretch is going to be the real deal.

And I'm not inclined to get on Hutton after a game where he made 42 saves.

This about sums up how I feel.

Good close game so far.

Folks on the outside could see that the record at the time was in spite of serious flaws in play and personnel. I'm pretty sure someone on the inside was even more aware of how in spite of that record was.

How many former Sabres saying they've lost their love of the game is it going to take before we can admit what the tank did to the environment here? Agreed on the sentiment re: his agent. The agent's malpractice opened up this possiblity. Of course it had to do with Buffalo. Why was Buffalo on his and probalby 90% of the other NHLers no trade list? Rhetorical. We know why. Because Buffalo isn't it.

God, I hate what the tank did to the environment around this team. It still lingers today.

I hadn't really considered that Darcy wasn't all in for a full burn down, but I think you make a good case for it.

Olofsson is nowhere near our 2nd best forward. On any other line he's invisible, or visible for the wrong reasons. He's got an amazing shot. Everything else about his game is underdeveloped. I can't really pick between Skinner and Sam for #2. Different players, about the same impact on the game overall. Pre injury I would have had Mojo as our #2, but not currently.

My problem with a vote to censure is twofold. 1. It has no teeth to curb the illegal activity that has taken place, and 2. related to 1., Trump can and will simply ignore it and continue on, business as usual. We really need to see these activities halted, and punished to dissuade them from happening again in the future.

Tanked.
