It's a desperation move for Edmonton but I suppose they are hoping they get a good run out of the veteran goalie much like Colorado got when they swapped out theirs.

I saw this all over twitter but so far no actual nothing. Sure hope it's true. I've been hoping since Jarmo was hired that Terry was letting him assess the roster and the whole franchise. Kev was just a handcuffed lame duck pushing paperwork around and doing Terry's bidding but not really allowed to do much of anything. That scenario might also explain the goalie inactions. In any event long overdue but we shall see if it actually happens and who takes over.

Not a cop out. I just can't be bothered with long involved plans of what they should do at this stage. If Pegula doesn't make changes nothing will change so all of our hopes and wishes and plans of what should be done are a waste of time. They won't do any of them.

As I understand it he stopped drinking, went to therapy and cleaned himself up. He's still married. They apparently worked it out so he does still have some sort of family life. The internet says his net worth is 22.5 million.

That pretty much was it but they didn't give him many minutes that's for sure. I thought you could see signs of him wanting to muck it up but he didn't get enough time to get comfortable or into a rhythm.

Dumpster fire meets toxic waste dump tank team. Dumpster fire gets the win. I like wins but you have to think a losing streak would be better to force Pegula's hand. Any signs of life (which are fake because this season is over) and they might justify staying the course and blaming injuries. If only..................etc. Terrible hockey game. Canucks are garbage. Sabres had all the same turnovers and giveaways but Canucks didn't take advantage of most of them. I really cannot figure out why some people think Byram is a good D man. He is just horrible. How many minutes did Kuntar get? Can't be many. They play the same and Seattle will slaughter them. Seattle isn't all that good but they are fast and check really well. Counter punch team.

Isn't that the same league that had the guy charged with murder for the skate blade? Weird that Lucic won't just retire. Dude must have lost his money or something. It's a strange desperation.

Can I vote for Marty Biron for #1?

No. More like a puck hound with a bit of an edge. Unafraid. Maybe more Benson maybe. I'm really not sure why the Sabres would call him out to Vancouver if Zucker and Norris are out. Rosen made sense but Kuntar is a different guy.

How long you been watching? How do you maintain this unfounded optimism? Every year they actually show the opposite.

When he was a Boston prospect a lot of fans optimistically had him pegged as the next Marchand. I was kind of surprised the Bruins gave up on him since they really like the hard working grit guys and he's definitely in that mold. I'm not sure he has NHL skill but you never know. He certainly has the right attitude.

We need that for 60 though not just OT. It's lacking more often than it's there.

I actually play at the seniors center once in a while. I'm 66 and I'm the youngest guy there, but some of them know how to play. It's actually quite fun. The 90 year olds are actually quite inspirational.

Yes, I like Doan. I like how he plays. He is the kind of player you should have been building around all along. I feel for him because in time he will lose his love for hockey. The Sabres organization does not understand how you build a culture. It is simple as that. Two things to consider. Heard Hamilton today pointing out in their entire history they have only hired an experienced GM (experienced as a GM) twice. Scotty Bowman and Punch Imlach. Two eras in which we had a good hockey team. The eras that made me into a Sabres fan. Very telling. The second you won't like because I heard it said at the Bruins post game presser. Quote from Sturm that says everything "that's what good teams do. They don't complain. They just go out and work." Have you not noticed how much complaining Ruff does? How Sabres players constantly look to refs for calls. Everyone complaining and looking for someone else to fix the problem. Good teams just get out there and WORK. Pegula does not understand any of this.

Well you shouldn't have dealt me 2 5's, a 4 and a 6..........and then I cut for another 6 so I'm feeling ok 😉
