How did they do it the right way? Got lucky with ping pong balls? They traded away everyone and their grandmother just like us during their tank year. Only difference is they had been bad for so long that they had high picks like Kadri already in their system.

Well said.

He is a loser. Time for a change. If only GODD was still around; I'd love his opinion now.

:w00t: Oh man I actually laughed out loud. Well played. That's EXACTLY how I feel. Now that Julien is available. I may need new pants if they fired DD and hired CJ :blush: .

I haven't cheered for losses since the tank year but I may start immediately. We need CJ. We absolutely need him.

We were just outshot 39-23 against the New Jersey Devils. Enough is enough already. We lost by a goal so whatever but to be outshot by that margin against a fringe team is unacceptable.

Hahhhahaha, true losing 4 straight hurts. But this game was looking like a blowout for a long time. The game was in the bag. After that Julio catch that game should have been over. To expect to win it all and have everything happen like that is....indescribable. This coming from a Buffalo fan.

My brother is a diehard Falcons fan. Been cheering for them for years. Sibling rivalry said that I had to cheer against the Falcons regardless of who they played. Still feel terrible for him. I think he's still sitting on the couch staring blankly at the tv screen. He's on suicide watch right now :lol: I told him now you have a taste of what Buffalo fans feel.

Why is it shocking? They have to waive him to send him back to the Amerks right? They overpaid him as part of the wink wink ROR deal. Therefore he will more than likely not be claimed. Nothing to see here.

I appreciate the analysis but it is wayyyyyy too early to give ratings on these drafts. I'm starting to question GMTM slightly but drafting is not something I have any issue with. Ofcourse Eichel and Reinhart were no brainers. Every team seems to hit occasionally after the first round but it's far from a given post 1st round guys will be NHL players. Here are guys after the first that look very promising: Guhle - 2nd rounder that looks almost like a lock to be in Buffalo within a year or two Asplund - Way too early to know what he turns into but I think there's a ton of promise here Pu - 3rd rounder that is currently 4th in OHL scoring. Looks like he's a nice prospect with NHL size and speed. Fitzgerald - Another 3rd rounder with a lot of promise Borgen - 4th round pick with again a ton of promise Outside of the obviously Reinhart pick I'm not thrilled at all with Murray's first 2014 draft but his last two appear to be very solid based on early viewings. Again, who knows where these guys turn up but I've been impressed by the potential of the past two draft classes.

Yep https://www.nhl.com/news/ken-hitchcock-signs-1-year-contract-with-blues/c-280847510

Didn't he say he was retiring after this year? Or did I get that wrong?

Ok if your going use ^ you're going to have to be much quicker on the draw man!! :P

Just wanted to mention I bought tickets long in advance for Sunday's game between London and Oshawa to watch Cliff Pu. I was not disappointed. During warmups my little guy and I were wearing our Sabres jerseys and getting Pu's attention. He smiled at us a couple of times and my little guy was loving every minute. Apparently Cliff was out the night before recovering from the flu and you could tell he seemed to get worn out later in shifts. But overall a great game and exactly as advertised. He's big and fast (almost a Justin Bailey type style). He came out for the first unit PP, first unit PK and played a good all around game. Several chances to score but ended up officially with 1 assist. GMTM is taking deserved criticism lately but some of his later round picks have the potential to be regulars in the near future.

Get Des out of the lineup. That is all.

Not as much to do with records as it is keeping the league close so everyone thinks they're still in it even though in reality it's really tough to climb 5-7 points. Keeps butts in the stands later in the season.

This is well played. Let's just keep winning. So sick of them losing huge games only to win a couple and get the hope back. Win the friggen game.

Well played. This was my first thought reading that as well.

Very doubtful. I've had 4 separated shoulders over my playing career and they usually took about 3-4 weeks to heal.

I thought there was no possible way he was being serious taking Eichel off the PP that one game. Then it happened.

Just came to say I heard Julien could be fired and wanted to get others opinions. Looks like I'm late to that party. As for me? Ummmm yes please!! If Julien were to go mid season I wish they would immediately fire Bylsma and replace him with Julien.

After last nights loss to the Leafs and hearing the depressing talk on WGR this morning about how nobody wants to come coach the Bills I think this is the most depressed I've ever been cheering for these teams. Not that it's necessary but let's rehash. Sabres We've sucked for 10 straight years now. Finally the plan is to burn it down, start from scratch. We know how those seasons go. Then to miss out on the McDavid lottery...the Eichel injury to start this year...Matt Moulson is still on the books for another 2 seasons...our D is horrendous outside of 2 players...Lehner trade is blowing up in our face...Babcock spurn...now we have DDB who the GM seems to support....Pat Lafontaine fiasco... The leafs rebuild is light years ahead of ours. Did they get lucky in their lottery year? Yes. But man, after the Eichel pick and ROR trade I thought we'd left that team in the dust. Nope. Bills Haven't made the playoffs since 1999 (are you friggen kidding me)...QB purgatory...Ground and Pound...Currently several coordinator candidates turned down the Bills offer for interview...Tyrod extention...Trade up for Sammy Watkins and then go with ground and pound approach...QB purgatory...Brady looks like he still has a few years left...QB purgatory... The Bills don't look any closer to the playoffs then they did 10 years ago.

I despise them more. the leafs!

I set up to record the game and I'll watch it tonight. It's nothing but insufferable leaf talk here so should have no problems avoiding hearing the score.

I don't :(
