If they had a combined 1500 games more experience, I'd be inclined to agree. They don't though. They are 1,000 games less experienced than the 31st place team.

What part of my tone? There's a myth around here that I just want analytics darling who figure skate and its never been accurate.

Finally watched this... when Benson jumps with all that weight, my word his legs are trees. Glad he said he needs more burst. Fun video, really cool look into his life and seeing him with his family was great. Offered Grandma, mom, grandpa donuts in that order, he gets it.

I think Power can be a good defender in the NHL, but I'm not convinced plays the game the way I want. Not sure if that distinction makes sense but I'm not saying he needs to run ppl or hit everything. He plays passive, which was my initial impression of Mrtka until I got to see more of him. Power let's players come into his orbit, he doesn't manipulate much defensively. There's no, "attack on defense" and he's basically the opposite of Benson who very much attacks opposing players. On Mrtka, I've seen more and more of him attacking in the D zone. He shuts plays down by his own will as opposite which is sitting in your lane waiting for the forward to come into the space you want to defend.

I didn't even put power top 5 in my 2021 rankings.

He was the first pick in the draft because covid, awful draft, and nhl teams are stupid. Anyone tall who can skates jumps up draft boards.

Owen Power is a player the Sabres should watch very closely this year. Depending on how he plays, and I mean style of play, they should consider in June if they plan to move forward with him.

Now you're arguing semantics. Power has never NEVER played heavy or physical.

Power reaching a new level and getting 40+ points again, that would be great. If he was above even in his own end and then good to elite offensively in the offensive zone, he'd turn the tables because Buffalo could spend 50 minutes a night with 2 defense pairs that are nightmares. He better work hard and mean.

Montreal has a good team forming. Have they vaulted past Buffalo? We'll see.

Unless he suddenly learns that he needs to be mean in his zone and not just lean on guys but impose himself, he could be Hercules and it wouldn't change much.

Only thing holding Novikov back is footspeed. He needs to be quicker.

Not sure that blueline is tall enough with... 4 guys 6'4" or taller.

Was thinking of Benson

Here's a link

Watching it over, I can't help but think Prater adjusted his kick a touch but maybe that's wishful thinking.

Gavin McCarthy, 6'2" 187lb RHD, was named Captain for Boston University's Men's team for the 2025/26 season

So you can't use race for college applications but you can use it to randomly arrest ppl. Guess the 4th amendment is a suggestion now. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-immigration-stops-los-angeles-rcna223845

Will be interesting to see if Buffalo has finally started to get guys with that dog in them, instead of just guys who skate well or have some fancy stat they like.

Does anyone know when training camp starts?

I just feel like the Bills lack on defense.

You're a condescending person. You failed repeatedly to use reading comprehension and your analytic comments are ignorant beyond belief. Bye Felicia.

Every ***** NHL team you could say this about. It's been 14 years, everyone has a better and faster rebuild. What's next, "ice is cold" or "Josh Allen wears 17" Wow, enlightening.

What a joke. You think being wrecked by a mediocre Washington team in 5 games matters. Also love how now you're changing the goalposts. Let's say Buffalo makes it that Granato year, then loses in 5 games, they would be exactly where they are now. Buffalo is losing because Adams has no vision of his own and blows in the wind based on what ever Pegula or the coach of the month wants. "This Sabres ideology..." what in the actual ***** would be the point of making the playoffs and then going back to sucking for 5 years? What team in the league wants that? You think some magical ***** will occur because they sneak in one year, like some special switch will flip in their brains and suddenly they won't be able to miss! What garbage. They keep missing because they have trash gms, 4th rate coaching, and league average drafting. Montreal made the playoffs, let's see if they do again, otherwise everything you wrote here is worth less than used toilet paper.
