Mustache of God

Maybe the Sharks GM, former Sabres legend Mike Grier is actually sleeper agent and this is a long con to improve the Sabres. Karlsoon + Meier for Mitts + Ben Bishop and a 2nd round pick. Who says no?

I predict the sabres will ride those handlebars to victory.

I'm really interested to see what happens next season. I get the feeling that we're going to keep Jost (RFA after this season, currently making 2M) and I can see him sliding down to anchor the 4th or "energy" line. Assuming our top 6 stays the same and KO & Girgensons aren't re-signed I can see our bottom six looking something like this: Kane/ FA/Trade - Savoie/Kulich/Ostland - VO Mitts - Jost - Krebs Jost/Mitts essentially become the replacements for KO & Girgensons - both lines have recently been very good at keeping the other team hemmed in and working the puck around the perimeter (but not generating much scoring). I can see this line providing that same type of play / energy and we'd hopefully get more offense out of our new 3rd line which I'm guessing will be VO, a kid in our system and an outside acquisition.

To the last line, I think Asplund has played himself off his team and wont' be here past this season. I see him being packaged in a deal (if one is made).

Is marty biron not a show of smoke?

25 is a weird way to say 34

These blues jerseys are turd burger level bad.

Lol, never seen a team call a timeout 85 seconds into a game.

The only thing I really miss about Eichel was his ability to find the space to pass across the ice through 3 defenders, right on VOs stick.

Tage Thompson revenge game incoming. I've noticed that teams are making a very visible effort to contain Tage on the PP when he's lined up on the wall. I can't remember the last time he's gotten a clean one-timer off. If I were in charge of the power play I'd roll VO out on the same unit. If the other team is going to have someone stapled to Tage that should let VO get some extra space to tee off.

The three points we left to Philly and Chicago are really itching my ass right now.

What a pass from Thompson.

Chychrun feels too expensive for my taste, plus I'm more interested in us finding another Samuelsson type player to balance out Dahlin/Power. The type of player who doesn't have a sexy game but plays sound foundational defense (also the type of player who doesn't make the big $$$). I have always liked Crouse's game, he's always stuck out to me when we play them.

Thompson has 1 goal in his last 7 (and only 3 assists). Need him to rekindle that magic and start racking up points again.

I guess we should just shut this thread down then since there's apparently zero fun in speculation.

I'd be okay with that. Wonder what it would cost.

Both the Bills and Cowboys had their seasons ended yesterday. Sabres and Stars face off tonight to hopefully give their city a little spark. Let's go Sabres, we need this win.

I'm really hoping Quinn/Peterka can get it going again and we can see all 4 lines rolling as we claw our way into the playoffs.

Another 6 goals for the goatheads.

Is Thompson playing injured? He looks a step behind every shift.

Who had lybushkin with 3 points today on their bingo card?

Victor will be sniffing for 40 goals this year.

Olofson with 20 on the year.

Holy *****! Cozens!

Interesting, couldn't a team have gotten him for free off the wire? I wonder if any trade involves us eating 50% of his salary?
