SABRES 0311

Japan. One of the few games I get to watch with you guys.

They better win. 3:00 AM and I’m tired.

Too bad we can’t have both. Phil knows what he’s doin.

Wings have 452 PIM compared to Sabres’ 391. Let’s get that 20th place PP up against the Wings’ 24th PK. A guy can hope.

Not that kind of all nighter because I’m not 18 anymore. ? Couldn’t find it. Fell off outside in the dark and rain. Kids tried to help me with flashlights. However I think I’m still good for the game. I better come up with a good Valentines Day gift.

You just gotta sit back and enjoy the ride. Kind of like in Fight Club when Tyler tells him to let go of the wheel.

Welp lost my wedding ring at the gym. (Has no impact on the game.) I feel like PH filling out the lineup. Completely lost.

3:00 AM here. Wife says I can pull an all nighter.

Ya you’re right. Looking at the Amerks player stats there isn’t much to get excited about outside of Smith and Olof. At least for the forwards.

Go team

I think I might have the wrong idea on lines so correct me where needed. Line 1 is your best offensive threat. Average defensively. Line 2 is you second offensive threat with the ability to defend longer stints in the D Zone. Line 3 is who you put against the other team’s first line. Defensively minded with some offensive ability. Line 4 plays against the other team’s fourth line. Little offensive threat and average defensively. The more I think about it you want at least three lines who can score and everyone playing a two way game. I remember the chances of a fight came when those fourth liners were playing their five minutes of ice time per game.

Put Smith in for Sobotka and we can talk. Maybe Nylander or Olof for Pommers.

Agree on all. I’m not sure what the plan is with Beaulieu. If they wanted to showcase I’d think he’d play more. I say trade him and Scandella but keep McCabe. I like how he drills guys ever now and then.

I really think Beaulieu. Hasn’t played much so maybe they are shopping him and avoiding injury.

Anyone getting publically called out for bringing it into the discussion? It happened a couple GDTs ago. Maybe I missed it.

I really wonder if a verbal commitment was made to stay in Buffalo for the long haul but management is waiting to see how many goals he has before assigning a dollar amount. Like I said in the contract thread, maybe 8 mil for 40 goals and 8.5 for 45 goals. Who knows though.

Maybe in five years we can trade Eichel and sign Matthews.?

If Sam has a black eye at the next game we know why.

I think you need a beer, a women, or a little of both.

So what do we think happens following these interviews?

Wow. Sam calling out the goalies. I think that comment is second to the Sens players in the Uber ride.

I thought we were supposed to expect suffering. Being a Sabres fan is like being a Greek citizen during austerity.

He would only watch CNN after eating a tub of soy. But seriously Phil sucks at coaching. That’s not part of the NPC talking point. But you are right.

Careful. Last time I posted something like that feelings were hurt. ?

Not Ullmark’s fault they couldn’t score. Ullmark has a winning record. Hutton does not. Hutton let in four against Columbus to Ulmark’s one in Dallas. I don’t get Phil’s problem. To get the win Ullmark would’ve had to get his third shutout. How many does Hutton have and compare who has had more opportunities (games played).
