So ... give me lottery numbers now ?

Oh great ... another jinx ?

Oh ... Reinhart fed VO that pass. Sick pass.

It’s been a split season. All season. And will most likely continue to be. Hutton isn’t “the starter” either.

Who passed it to VO? Because that was a great pass!

Well now you jinxed it.... ?

How do you think he’s looked? Asplund has been fine. I have very low expectations of him right now. He’s battling, back checking, competing. He’s not hurting his line at all. I like him so far.

The Sabres are back in action tonight as the three-game road trip continues. They're in Sunrise, Florida where they'll play the Florida Panthers. Coverage on MSG begins at 4:30 p.m. The trip concludes tomorrow night when the Sabres face the Lightning at 7 p.m. Here's what you need to know. Tonight's matchup From @SabresPR's Game Notes… A win tonight would give Buffalo multiple victories against Florida in a season for the first time since 2016-17. The Sabres would have wins in consecutive meetings between the teams for the first time since they won three straight from Feb. 10 to Oct. 20, 2011. The Sabres are 2-7-1 in their last 10 games vs. the Panthers; 1-7-2 on the road. This is the second of four meetings between the Sabres and Panthers this season. Last meeting: Buffalo defeated Florida 3-2 in Buffalo on Oct. 11 Next meeting: Saturday, Jan. 4 in Buffalo

Whew .... I was sooooo worried about losing our Johnny Hockey.

And after reading all that... I still like the Pegulas. As owners, like anyone, they make mistakes. I just hope, unlike everyone, they learn from their mistakes. You have the right to hate the owners. And I have the right to like the owners.

Many GM’s do this every year. Sometimes several times a year. Some of you need to look at the waiver wire once a week to see the barren wasteland it is most of the time. Gilmore is nice depth. But certainly nothing to get all twisted in knots about. Geesh.

Yea, well ... get in line because he also never answered my question either.

That’s a good question. Another good question is, Since he’s been the GM of the Sabres, can anyone list which GM (since May of 2017) have a better “hit rate” and “miss rate”. Without doing the digging, I would take a crazy wild guess, and guess he’s pretty average. He’s not terrible. He’s not amazing. Anyone want to take that task on?

You certainly aren’t describing me ? anyway ... I would be behind trading Olofsson and ERod if it meant an upgrade. Even slightly. But I think a little more fuel to that fire is what’s needed to grab someone of worth.

after it’s discovered +/- doesn’t give an accurate picture. At all.

Good grief. You can point to every GM on every team in every year, that didn’t “hit” on all draft picks. It’s nothing new or worth pointing out like it’s a sign of anything unique. Yawn.

And I’m certainly not saying fans have to like it. Hell, it’s obvious some don’t... but, what’s the phrase??? Awe too bad so sad? Yea that’s it.

Hahaha ... no the actual answer is Eichel, Dahlin, Skinner, and Reinhart. So since teams rarely trade away their core players (in their (or about to be in their) prime), those four players are in fact untradable or to put it a different way. Won’t be traded, (unless for a big overpayment) So your comment about no one should be untradable holds no water in reality.

Ok. With that kind of thinking ... who is our core? Every team has a core. Teams build around core players. (Pro tip: The answer is not “Sabres don’t have a core”)

Exactly.... Plus triumph keeps pushing that illogical trade but doesn’t know how to contract the Calgary lineup and make a case as to why Calgary would love to do that trade. So in reality land ... Calgary would never do that trade. But I’d love to hear Triumph make a good college try as to why he thinks it’s logical and beneficial for Calgary.

And again ... And why would Calgary be licking their chops to jump all over this trade exactly? construct Calgary’s lineup with Rinehart and Risto. Then tell me how it’s better with Rinehart and Risto, And Gaudreau and Jankowski gone? I’ll wait crickets ...

Meh. I’m not at the point 6 weeks into the season, to make a definitive decision that he’s not a good coach. I’ll leave that to others who want to knee jerk in that direction. And if you or others like it or not, RK is staying the head coach for at least the entire season. Perhaps even longer... buckle up... lol.

Nice passing play. Almost snuck it in.

Agree x 1000 And no, I wouldn’t want him on my team either ...

Out of that list ... I think two maybe three will be back. Sign one or two year deals.
