  1. I'm really amazed at this thread, had no idea people were so attached to the concept of McGinn. I never really got attached to him since it was obvious he wasn't going to be a Sabre for more than a season. The trade deadline is for teams looking to bulk up for the playoffs or teams to cut their losses and deal their best assets for a good return. This year's deadline did not apply to the Sabres. Murray will make this team better byet making deals near the draft and in free agency, by then nobody will much care about Mcginn.
  2. I'm just happy I have some vested interest in the playoffs this year. Let's go Caps & Ducks!
  3. It would have been miserable either way. A few garbage goals from McGinn and power play assists from ROR won't save this season.
  4. I'm content with the move. You've gotta bet that Murray will make his noise around the draft and in FA this year. I had little expectations coming into today and they were met. Go Sabres!
  5. I'm sure Murray knew that and agreed to the conditions with the ###### sorted out. on WGR Murray is saying he was "not close" & "not disappointed" re: dealing the other UFAs...sounds like there was little to no interest in Johnson or Legwand. *cue foghorn*
  6. He also has to play 50% of the playoff games...
  7. That's fair...to each his own. Cheers. How I long for the excitement of a Kassian for Hodgson deal, straight up. The future was so bright then.
  8. I don't understand why deadline day is a holiday to some people, especially Sabres fans or people interested in teams without any chance of making the playoffs.
  9. Bubble teams are a LOT less likely to deal a 1st round pick as the repercussions of sending away a pick that ends up netting another team a 1-3 pick would cost a GM his job, especially when that trade was meant to make the playoffs and instead they missed the post-season and the sweet, sweet lottery ball.
  10. Does anyone else have the Jeopardy song on repeat in their head?
  11. I'm going to be patient as the last minute picks roll in but...nothing from the Sabres? Really?
  12. Murray didn't use the #2 pick the past two years on a Russian. Clearly he HATES them.
  13. It's about ratings. It's clear the that WSH v PIT game has the better story line and will attract more viewers.
  14. Why is it even a question why they're bumping this game? Step out of your Sabres bubble and think about it. The Sabres and Oilers are terrible, terrrible teams. Nobody outside of these small-market cities give a damn about the teams since they've been IRRELEVANT for the past decade. Instead, the nation gets to watch one of the historically best team led by one of the greatest goal scorer of all time vs. a team surging up the standings led by another generational player whose been on fire since a slow start to the season. People can watch their McDavid highlights on youtube and the Sabres fans will still get to watch Eichel streak into the zone and force a pass. Fair note: I'm bitter I stayed up to 1:30 am to watch the Sabres get shutout last night.
  15. I don't think the atmosphere in FNC lately could ever be loud enough to damage the frailest of ears.
  16. Based off of my skewed misunderstanding of statistics, we're due for a lottery win this draft*. 3rd time's a charm, right? If I'm Murray I'm not moving that pick until I know whether or not it will be Austin Matthews. IF we win the lottery, I wouldn't mind Murray dealing for that pick if it brings in an elite player who can perform now and into the foreseeable future. Or just draft Matthews. I don't think it's be a savvy hockey move to deal the pick before the lottery order is established because only then will you be able to judge it's true value. *my advanced knowledge of statistics also lets me know that Buffalo will never, ever win the lottery because that's just how it is for us.
  17. Serious question: Is there a place anyone knows where I can view the highlights of the game? Since NHL.tv launched they've done away with post game highlights and they don't have every goal loaded. It's very frustrating.
  18. I read that DB expects him to play...so more power to you, Marcus.
  19. The next Sabres 3rd Jersey should be a combination of the current 3rd mixed with the buffaslug
  20. This is amazing. I know the Jackets put out gameday posters for each game. Love their shot at the buffaslug and that seems surprisingly accurate for how that came about.
  21. When that happens, those players are usually given some form of pain meds, right? I just can't imagine wearing a mouthguard and then skating in an NHL environment, especially the way Marcus plays (or we want him to play) giving and taking hits. I guess I was just hoping Bailey would get a call halfway through his drive to Rochester saying "turn around!"
  22. I guess Marcus is tougher than I will ever be. If I were to have several teeth removed in a similarly violent fashion I promise you I'd wouldn't move from my bed for several days.
  23. listening to hockey hotline...they just said Foligno took a stick to the face at practice just now and headed to the locker room. Reports are saying they were picking teeth up off the ice afterwards. That sounds so, incredibly painful. Wonder if he'll play tonight. I can't imagine getting drilled into the boards after getting my face bashed in.
  24. You forgot to mention that Stamkos is pretty much a lock to sign to Buffalo this off-season, according to the internet.
