I totally agree, but also see both sides. This teams weakness is and has been physicality. The Sabres seem to always get rid of the folks that give it to them. Do i want him back? No. There are others more capable then him that can be had for the right price. But, we DO need more physicality on this team in the worst way.

Happy for MW!!! Wish him well (Except against the Sabres!)

I am not in Buffalo, i did not say i was going to boo him... But i am more then old enough to know Buffalonians from when i did live there...LOL

As much as cannot stand Eichel, Vegas winning the cup was zero about him. They had so many other pieces they would have won with or without him based on the way things went. Congrats to Eichel, he will be forever booed in Buffalo. We move on. We have an up and coming team (Which i still believe is too soft) but freaking stacked with young talent! We just move on. I think this team is not too far from being able to compete (With the exception of the lack of playoff physicality that doomed the Amerks) for a SC in the nearer future.

Personally i could give a rats ass whether Eichel wins the cup or not. He is not going to be the MVP, and that team is definitely loaded! Eichel is not the lynchpin like he was supposed to be in Buffalo. Good for Vegas! Our team is my concern, not Vegas. Love the talent and what we got for Eichel. Now it is time to do something with all these rock star kids and be a club that is actually a competitor for the cup year after year.

I have no problem with this. As much as we have kids in the wing ready to play, we still need some solid vets and even though he is not going to score a ton , he brings vet presence and leadership in spades and this team's player evolve around him and seem to try and emulate his habits. Sounds like a smart move with a cap friendly number is not a bad thing.

I have Vegas going to the cup.... I think thats a huge possibility. I picked Boston to beat carolina, but i will be happy with a Lames win

I am down in flames too!!! Went from 1st to crap in one day!

I guess this went poorly with no more posts

Thompson does not go to the wing. I think you hamstring him putting him back there.

Went to my laptop

Totally agree, but we see how Casey works with 2 talented wingers. Maybe it is time to keep him off the 3rd line

In but having problems creating damn bracket. Will try from work computer tomorrow morning

Muel needs to seriously go on a heavy milk diet!! He is always hurt. Did Leino score 30 in his whole time as a Sabre? Hell, did he score 10?? LOL

Thats not undersized then. Bring him on. His defensive responsibility is supposed to be good! We need that

I thought he was under 6' and like 180

I can see Buffalo balking at signing an undersized dman. Especially after watching the team struggle against larger more physical forechecking teams. Personally i think they should still bring him on and go for another larger physical defensive dman via trade or FA

I am not going to crucify KA for this season. As much as i ranted about the same old problems this team has, i think KA is moving the right direction to right the ship. In a year where we were not even supposed to be in the race, the team was. We needed some grit, and at the deadline, we got that. Do we need more tweeks, yes, we do. I have no doubt some of those will be corrected before next season. Our goalie problem seems to have solved itself just by being patient. I still have faith in KA. I do think some things could have been fixed earlier, but i am not going to blame KA for making a lopsided trade to get a player that does not want to be in Buffalo, or has to seriously overpay.

Still a shot... win last 2 and both Pens and isles lose...

I am out, hoping for a playoff miracle and the Pens lose in Reg

Devils are the team I will root for in the playoffs, they are damn good. HOPING FOR A COMEBACK, but odds are stacked against us.

Pretty much we lose, we are out, right?

Not coming back 2 goals against a rested devils. Just not feeling this one. And again FU MSG/Xfinity!!!!!

We need to be within 1 before the third.... or we are done.

Lol I cannot even watch the damn game...I am strictly going off of the chat. I hate MSG and xfinity for this crap. Greedy bastards
