Our broken toy ... take as much time as he needs and then some. Don’t come back too soon.

Harrington was, is. and will always be the Matt Ellis of sports journalism. It’s amazing people still read his drivel.

This team (and few if any NHL teams) isn’t built that way. Nor will it ever be.

Sabres on the PP lately ...

Dare I say it ... the criticism is ... obnoxious. There’s a clear difference between criticizing his current play. And making broad sweeping definitive statements on his overall ability or talent. Good grief...

No thanks. I think I’d like to see how the JUST turned 21 year old develops over the next few years before I give up and want to trade him.

Exactly! It will only be 4 goals... Geesh! ?

Rinehart you beautiful B!

Risto you stupid %#*&

This afternoon, the Buffalo Sabresannounced that their team Skills Competition would return for a second season. The event will take place on Sunday, January 5 at KeyBank Center. Last year, the more than 10,000 fans were in attendance for the contest which featured special blue-and-gold uniforms, autograph signings from past players, and of course, the skills competition itself. This year, a new set of special jerseys will be worn by the players which will commemorate the 1978 NHL All-Star Game that was held in Buffalo. The contest will feature several events like the hardest shot competition, accuracy showdown, and shootout challenge, just to name a few. “The team had a great time at last year’s Skills Challenge, and we’re excited to face off against each other again this year,” Jack Eichel said, per the team’s official press release. “We’re all pretty competitive guys, so we’re looking forward to showing off our skills in front of some of the best fans in the league.”

Yikes ..... double yikes ... What a bozo ...

At a bare minimum I hope he doesn’t hurt his line… And it would be nice and promising if he came in and really impressed in his first game.

I’m going to Wednesday’s game with the wife. She wants to arrive early ... now I know why lol.

In fantasyland ... I would want hardcore punishments on headshots. 1st intentional head hit ... suspended without pay for three months. 2nd intentional head hit ... suspended without pay for 82 games. 3rd intentional head hit ... suspended without pay for three years. 4th intentional head hit ... expelled from the NHL as a player for life. ”intentional head hit” is judged by the commissioner, the head of DOPS, and all the GM’s (except the GM of the opposing player) get a vote. 2/3 vote is needed to to rule that it’s an intentional hit. After 5 years, As a player, if you are “clean” after you have an offense, then the one offense is “wiped off” your record. Any money “collected” from the players would be paid to a charity or players foundation. something along those lines, I think would curb a lot of head shots.

Coming off a 5-2 win over the Florida Panthers last night, the Buffalo Sabres will close out their three-game road trip tonight. The Sabres take on the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena at 7 p.m. on MSG and WGR 550. Join us for the Buick Game Night pregame show at 6:30 on MSG. Here's what you need to know. With a win tonight, the Sabres would sweep a Florida road trip for the first time since earning wins against Tampa Bay and Florida on Nov. 10 and 12, 2015. It would be their first time doing so on consecutive nights since Jan. 29 and 30, 2008. This is the third of four meetings between the Sabres and Lightning this season. Last meeting: Tampa Bay defeated Buffalo 5-3 in Stockholm, Sweden on Nov. 9. Next meeting: Tuesday, Dec. 31 in Buffalo The Sabres are 3-6-1 in their last 10 games vs. the Lightning; 2-7-1 on the road. Victor Olofsson's goal and point totals currently have him on pace for the best offensive season by a Sabres rookie in decades. If he maintains his current pace, he would finish the season with the most goals by a Sabres rookie (29) since Donald Audette's 31 in 1991-92 and the most points by a Sabres rookie (61) since Ray Sheppard's 65 in 1987-88. With 14 goals in 23 games so far this season, Jack Eichel is already halfway to his previous best goal total (28), set in the 2018-19 season. Eichel's output through 23 games currently has him on pace to finish the season with 50 goals and 103 points, which would be the highest goal and point totals by a Sabre since Pat LaFontaine (53+95) and Alexander Mogilny (76+51) in 1992-93. Sam Reinhart has recorded 10 points (8+2) in his last nine games against the Lightning, including four two-point outings.

Hmmm .... I wonder how true that really is. Sounds made up to me. I wonder if a second source can verify this. But I’m a very skeptical person when it comes to salacious stories that sound like they belong in a tabloid.

I know this is nothing to those who only care about NHL hockey. For all the others who like the sport of hockey and appreciate it when GM’s make small trades too, this isn’t a bad move. It’s called depth. Every team needs it. Every team. And it never ends.

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.
