    Wilcox called up to Sabres. Botts is going to ruin Amerks playoff chances calling up all their best remaining players if they drop in standings and have to play Marlies in 1st round. Why not call up Johannson, since they’re going to sit anyways.

    I’ll say it again, the tank was successful, it was the post-tank rebuild that failed. I really thought that given the current roster with new players brought in by Botts and new coach that they would contend for a playoff spot this year. To answer your question, I’ll continue to think the tank was a good move. What happened in the rebuild was a failure to build off the tank.

    It’s a waste for Ullmark to be up if they’re not going to play him. He could be helping the Amerks who are fighting to avoid the Marlies in the 1st round.

    I supported the tank and I stand by it. It was the best way to assure they got a franchise player, which they did. Therefore it was successful. The players they had pre-tank weren’t getting it done, and would never become a contender. It was disappointing that GMTM didn’t succeed in the post-tank rebuild. But now we have enough of a young core to build around. It’s just going to take a couple more years to become a playoff contender as the young prospects take over for the older players who aren’t cutting it.

    Amerks game vs Utica on MSG tonight at 7pm.

    I wonder what housing plans for Casey will be next season? Live with a veteran like Jack did, or move in with Jack?

    They signed him so people will show up to the last game to try to win his Sabres jersey in the giveaway after the game.

    If there was draft justice this would be McDavid vs Matthews.

    I wish Housley would put Baptiste and Bailey with Eichel instead of the plodders they keep sticking him with. Let’s see if the speed line could gel for the future.

    They shouldn’t be calling Ullmark up now. The Amerks are playing for playoff position while the Sabres are out of it. Same for Cincy where Johnanssen is the starter. I thought they said playoff experience for the minor leaguers would be good. Guhle and Baptiste should also go back, the Sabres have enough warm bodies.

    Saw Amerks in Syracuse last night. Wilcox played well in goal. It hurts that 8 of the best Amerks were missing through call up or injury. Crunch were a bit faster. First two Crunch goals reminded me of mistakes Sabres make. Amerk gets puck in D zone near blue line, and instead of making simple play to get it over blue line they putz around and turn it over. So the puck goes cross ice in the zone and the Crunch scored. Amerks got two PP goals, but Crunch got empty net and won 4-2.

    Can Falk and Rodrigues go back without clearing waivers, or have they been up too long or considered veterans?

    Last game my son and I went to, our corner seats that I bought online at the end of the row just above the entrance from the concourse were literally blocking the stairs. So every time someone wanted to go past, I had to stand up. A rediculous configuration to shoe horn a few extra seats in. I have long legs so I always try to get end seats, but wouldn’t have bought those if I’d known.

    4 D and 1 F. They’re just going to rag the puck so they don’t get a shorthanded goal scored against them.

    Okposo wasn’t the mistake, signing Moulson 5 for $5m was.

    I think they’d have to let these players start in Buffalo to get them to agree to play this year.

    5’ 9” Paul Byron is still scoring in the NHL 7 years after the Sabres decided he was too small to contribute.

    Number of players who should have been traded?
  19. pastajoe
    New Jersey over Winnipeg in the lowest rated SCF ever. But Buffalo will still be the city with the highest ratings.
  20. pastajoe
    Is he your wing man at pick up bars?
  21. pastajoe
    The Amerks are toast if they have to play the Marlies in the first round. Like Patriots vs Bills.

    Gionta brought the Sabres shootout luck with him.
  23. pastajoe
    Isles might want an insurance goalie.
  24. pastajoe
    Another Flyer goalie injured today. Hopefully Lehner’s play hasn’t killed any interest in him.

    They’ve shown this group is incapable of that. It’s not happening this year. Therefore get the best new players possible.
