I believe the Sabres can sign Tage to an extension this summer. They should.

Nathan Paetsch and the infamous jammed fax machine of Mike Zigomanis?

I’m sure it was deeply symbolic of the way this franchise has always gone out of its way to stomp on little hearts.

This is utter *****. No one has said anything like this. You’ve taken people’s hopes from 4 years ago and are depicting it as something it’s not. True derangement is constantly expecting to see nothing but the worst in everything and an outright refusal to focus on anything other than those things that support that particular world view. He’s a hockey player. A very good one, who continues to get better. Case in point.

So a player has to be RJ-level to be likeable?

Old stereotypes die hard. He won a lot of battles tonight. Played hard on the body regularly. Made smart exits with the puck.

Had a hell of a game tonight. As did Dahlin. Team responded well to Donnie calling out their effort against Ottawa. Do you like anyone in this organization beyond RJ?

Oh look, Dahlin loses another battle. 🙄

Why would you not want the puck on Dahlin’s stick?

Get ready for an Avalanche

Skinner is having another very engaged, smart game. Never seen him so in tune with his linemates.

Fun hockey

Toker stepping up!

Tage scored that goal against Makar and Toews. He’s got 3 against the best team in the league. He’s for real.

This game is real good litmus test as to who is actually capable of making plays when the game is played at the highest level.

Dahlin came to play today.

So, so bad…

Do you really think they had time to check him in the .7 seconds between his shot and Cozens coughing the puck up? Dylan and Casey looking seriously overmatched that period. KO and VO were OK, but the top line is the only line that deserved to be on the ice at this level. Shame Toker is Tokin’ because Kuemper looked like a soft white underbelly that period.

Smart, not that fast was the impression I got in the prospects tourney.

Adams said on the WGR pregame he will be talking to his free agents on the next road trip to gauge where their heads are at. Brought up the possibility of trading some UFAs that he is still interested in bringing back next year. Pysyk and Anderson would be the prime candidates to my mind.

Alex Tuch would look so good in Winwell with that stache

I like Vic. Hope they find a way to keep him at a Sabres-friendly price.

Olofsson with 25 goals has a lot of ammo at the bargaining table. Olofsson with 12 has very little. If it's mostly about the money, it's in his best interest to take his qualifier and bet on next year being better. If he likes Buffalo and wants security, we might be get him at a bargain if we offer term. Either way, I don't see a lot of pressure on Adams, so long as he doesn't pay him as a core piece.

Skill level, Sabres recent interest in Russians, likelihood of picking 5-8, have me wondering if Sabres are looking at him more closely than the C/RHD coveters might be comfortable with,

Donnie is been talking up the rotation for nearly a week now. Bryson, Pysyk and Hagg have already had their turns. I think they are transitioning to the deadline. Each player will miss a game or two unless they are clearly a step above, like Dahlin, and (IMO) Joki.
