That's really of part of it. Most faceoffs are pure clean wins.

It's like saying hits matter. Sure they can but most don't.

Lol no

Upl glove side remains questionable

Boooo

I saw an article on ep rinkside that TNT has the best wrist shot in the NHL currently.

Watching olofsson 5v5 hurts my face.

Yes.

That was trash. Our guy got tackled

Hot damn

Done? No. 7.37mil against the cap both next year and the following... x2. 14.74mil in total.

Something to think about, he is a 6' 185lb RHD

I listed 5 defenders on this team who are 200lbs or heavier. The Sabres are 24th in average weight which isn't surprising when you think about how young they are. I think it is a panicky solution to a false problem to think we have to get bigger bodies when this team will naturally get bigger in terms of weight each season as JJP, Quinn, Cozens, Power, etc... age and get man strength. I will add Colorado, Seattle, NJD, Carolina are all in the rough range of the Sabres in terms of weight and they seem to win just fine. What I am trying to say is this refrain of "add size" isn't based on anything than anecdotal feeling. The Sabres are fine in terms of size and need more overall roster talent on defense and more maturity (naturally as the young core starts to age). I don't think adding a 220lb defender does much unless they are really good at hockey. The average sh% for a point shot is 2% because it just isn't how NHL goals get scored anymore.

Bunch of stuff from various Sabres on personal Instagram accounts according to multiple reports.

We will find out because McDermott will get asked about it.

I don't agree. We win plenty of battles and our defense is hefty with the exception of Bryson. In fact I watched Cozens win a battle just the other day which resulted in the game winner. Boosh, Dahlin, Joker, Samuelsson, Power are all 6' or taller and 200lbs or larger.

Exactly. We are talking about a league where you need ESPN, TNT, USA, ESPN+, MSG, and NHLN to watch all your teams games.

Needed the Sabres last week to give us a lift after the Blizzard and need them again tonight to give us a lift after last night.

Nah, something happened before that. McDermott and Taylor were speaking about it before the ref got involved.

"Little 'Spacers"

I think Zac Taylor and Sean McDermott said they weren't playing and mutually agreed to pull their teams.

Just ftr, I do not have an issue with either of your thoughts on this.
