It pains me every time I see McNabb ably handling a 2nd pairing role on very solid teams in LA and now Vegas. For the past 7 years... Would love to get someone like him to pair with Power.

McDavid is being so selfish he also leads the league in assists...

Maybe 6 years ago my Mom won a Risto jersey in a charity auction. Not game worn, just a nice replica, white with classic logo. Was a perfect fit for me and I'm her Sabres-loving son...so I got it. 2023: Wear this in public, or not? My thinking is it needs to hibernate until Risto is retired a few years, the Sabres have won a Cup or two, and we can look back at those awful days and laugh.

A hole

Crouse is 6'4 220lbs. Couturier 6'3 211 lbs. Casey is 6'1, 199 lbs. I think big guys often take longer to develop. (See: Thompson, Tage). That may or may not be the case but if so, certainly doesn't apply to the very average sized Mittelstadt.

I'm going to the game with my wife and another couple, also from WNY originally. Based on my recent history of attending games in person this indicates the Sabres will be shutout tonight. However, this history predates:

If they win enough times in a row, their winning % will need to go to zero to hit 98 points.

Metaphor? It's called lying.

Sure, I am with you.

If they get a top 5 pick, even #1 or #2, I'd love to see it packaged for a legitimate star player who make a difference now as the existing prospects on the team and in the system come up. Some situation where a guy is disgruntled for whatever reason, or a team is up against the cap and needs to make a major move. Not these specific guys per se but a Rantanen, Barkov, Point level of player.

6th as they finish 4th from bottom but get bumped back 2 spots in the lottery

Well that’s discouraging. I’ve only seen them on the road in Pittsburgh, MSG, and Boston. Might have won one of two at MSG so I think I’m 1-3 on the road lifetime.

I sort of knew it when I bought the tickets but felt obligated as a Sabres fan living in Denver. Really it just shows I’m a fool.

Zemgus…Err I mean Cozens misses again.

I have tickets to see the Sabres in Colorado on Dec 15th. Will they win a game before then? It’s unclear.

Adams seems content to watch it burn. Finding guys who ‘want to be here’ is tough when ‘here’ is perpetual losing. But they’ve got high draft picks and lots of cap space. Yeah!

This team isn’t ready to beat a team like Boston. Actually, they can’t beat any NHL team these days.

Not only was the trade a fleecing, but Philadelphia doubled down with a 5 year contact extension with a 5.1M average salary. Risto is in year 1 of that deal.

Maybe we don’t suck?

And the Chicago Blackhawks, being naughty in my sights, shall snuff it.

Perhaps initially, they thought she was possibly going to die. Whereas later they realize it's just going to be a long slog of rehab and don't want that struggle to be public, at least yet. Of course, I am conjecturing here. Managing communications to 'others', let alone to an interested public and media, is tough during times of familial stress. Hard to know what to say to who. Maybe we cut them some slack in this case.
