Mustache of God

I'll be an emotional puddle if they lose.

Hopefully we see UPL come out and send out a positive response to the Leafs game, and then build on that. I see this game going two ways, either we keep it competitive, probably blow a 2-goal lead in the 3rd and squeak out another OT win OR We completely ***** the bed again like we did against Toronto, which I'm inclined to think is more probable than option A. It seems like every time we have a big game like this they play like garbage and it's all doom and gloom here, rightfully so.

Yeah but Anderson played earlier this week so his body needs 10 days to recover.

Which turnstile is getting dropped between the pipes tonight? Gotta be UPL, right?

Biggest game of the season so far. A regulation win leapfrogs us over three teams we've been chasing and puts us in the last wildcard spot. We have two games left vs FLA, NYI and WSH, all teams we're vying for so these 6 games will be crucial down the stretch. Go Sabres, go Kings (who are playing NYI).

Don't look now but a win tomorrow moves us into a wildcard spot.

Capitals down two with a minute left vs the ducks...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOSH LEAGUE!

Please tage get a 4th

These blown 2-1s are killing me.

I start every season convinced we'll be hoisting the cup every summer. I am always so, so, so very wrong. VO is due for a two goals tonight, one being an empty netter.

Just ***** win.

PSA he was the 1st round pick we got in the ROR trade. The final piece, if you will.

We got this. Everybody go put $10 on the sabres winning this.

Skinner and tuch both -3 so far, tage -2. Not the stats you want to see from line #1

I really hope the Sabres win tonight.

We also have 4 picks slated for the first two rounds in this draft (one first, three second rounders) which will add to the above. One of Adams biggest challenges in the upcoming future will be identifying prospects who he doesn't think with cut it and use them as trade material before other teams catch on. There's no way everyone pans out, but there's also not enough space for even a portion of them, so decisions will have to be made.

Not necessarily. This doesn't take into account own-goals and disallowed goals.

The Mitts-Krebs-Quinn line looked really good last game. I wouldn't want to break that up.

The question is how many Norris trophies will Dahlin win before Power wins one?

Islanders vs Pens tonight, who do we root for? Both have 63 points but Pitt has 55 gp vs 59 for the Isles. Does that mean we root for Pitt as it's easier for us to catch the Isles?

Between this upcoming draft and the previous two, the Sabres are slotted to have 12 selections between rounds 1 & 2, I'm really hoping that Adams uses a some of this collateral to improve the defense on this team to help them now, specifically the defense which I think is the lowest hanging fruit for him. Based upon listening to Adams speak I don't see him trading for a UFA rental, which I'm fine with although I'd hate to have this limit his options considering we do have capital to bring someone in. Defense - Find someone to replace Clague or Byrson and bring in additional depth. A second round pick and a low-tier prospect should be able to land a solid defensive d-man and then maybe bring in another depth piece. Offense - unless he swings for a huge deal to land a Meier type player, someone young and with term, I don't see any trades being made to the forwards. We're getting offense, it's the defensive side that needs an upgrade. Goaltending - I can't see any scenario where goalies will be part of a trade for us (unless Portillo's rights are tossed into a trade). We already have 3 goalies on the roster - so you'd have to move at least one. UPL isn't going anywhere and, based upon GMKA's pressers, there's no way he'd trade the veteran Anderson unless he requested a trade, but what team is going to have a 41 year old be their backup? Trading Comrie makes no sense for Adam's plan either. I fully expect next season to be UPL / Comrie.

Hopefully the Sabres broke their 2nd period curse with Krebs scoring to stop the bleeding after giving up 3. Hopefully they can build some confidence against the Sharks because the better teams coming up won't let off the throttle in those situations.

Nice set up by tuch on the cozens goal
