For my money… Peters was the worst “goon/fighter” the Sabres ever had. From what I know he seems like a really nice guy, but that still doesn’t take away with how I view him in regards to the Sabres.

I read about that… That’s an incredible injury! Ouch

Oh I was aware. I just wanted say why I’m drawn to players like Reinhart, as opposed fo players like Marchand or Wilson for examples.

I think that’s what I’ve liked about Sammy for years … quietly consistently puts up points. Not much flash. A lot of casual hockey watchers don’t notice what he does most games. Under the radar point producers is who I’m drawn to.

All GM’s screw up along the way. Some more than others. Skinner was definitely JB’s biggest contract blunder.

I understand the draw to it… And it seems like it could be a cool time once or twice. But if I was watching games there often… I think I would personally and this is just me personally… I would get very tired of the over the top overproduction of it all. Again just personal preference. One thing I noticed… Is there are a handful of arenas where are the music selection is very good. Off the top of my head I would say San Jose and Montreal. But I’m sure there are others I’m not remembering. Maybe Dallas?

Since the team didn’t make the playoffs in 2017 (for instance) when ROR was on the team, couldn’t you say this about Antipin, Bailey, Baptiste, Beaulieu, Bogosian, Criscuolo, Eichel, Falk, Fashing, Fedun, Girgensons, Gorges, Griffith, Guhle, Johnson, Josefson, Kane, Larsson, Lehner, McCabe, Moulson, Nelson, Nolan, Nylander, Okposo, Pominville, Redmond, Reinhart, Ristolainen, Rodriguez, Scandella, Tennyson, Ullmark, Wilson etc …. ? And let’s not leave out the entire coaching staff and sabretooth.

Good thing it’s considered a team sport. Otherwise people would be tempted to blame one individual on wins and losses.

I think Pysyk stays another year. Haag, Miller, Butcher, and Bjork won’t.

Did you not see the multiple posts discussing his goal in the NHL thread? I think you did … 😂

What’s the over/under on how many of Eichel’s goals will be retweeted on this forum? 😂 my guess is … hmmm … as a VGK … the first 25. Over/under?

A band of bothers huh? 😂

Mitts is coming back

I’ve been noticing this for decades. When it comes to sports, or even just things in their lives… They aren’t happy unless there’s strife, drama, or an antagonist to yell at the cloud about.
