Hahahaha. Good luck to you to Scott.

Good luck in the championship!

…and the reason I didn’t make it was because your kicker got 20. 😂

Enquiring minds want to know…how is snowfall measured when winds are 50-70.

Looting going on in the city over the weekend taking advantage of police not being able to respond. I am sure they are just misunderstood people.

I believe Fitz-Pilut were on the ice for 2 or 3 breakaways. Not acceptable. They are clearly not on the ice to generate offense as the 3rd pairing, so there is no excuse for getting caught up ice and allowing breakaways or odd man rushes the other way.

👎🏻

I’m surprised Stone is playing. He took a nasty shot off the foot/ankle over the weekend, and couldn’t put any weight on it as he left the ice.

Strange wording about Östlund. Hasn’t he been in Sweden since the start of the season?

Laaksonen was so brutal his first rookie camp(miles worse than the next player), there was nowhere to go but up. Then he graduated to barely passable AHL player. Now gone.

I tuned in late. Heard the Sabres are playing with 5 D. Did they go on the road with only 6?

A week before Christmas…must be something to complain about?

Ovechkin hits 800. Can’t figure out how to link a video from the NHL front page, but they have a montage of all of his 800 goals. 😂 http://www.nhl.com

There is a great picture of the Schony v. Cashman fight taken from the catwalks at the Aud. It is hanging in Marinaro's in Larkinville if you are ever in the area. Last time I was in there which was a few years ago, the owner also had one or two of the collector item sabre's which were I believe a numbered limited edition item from back in the 70's

Desperation today might “block” prospects in the future, and we all know the Sabres creed… Thou shalt not block. 😂

I wish it was that easy for me to put a positive spin on the play of three guys who are terrible(Bryson, Pilut & Fitz) versus one who looks to be better in Clague. Your efforts are to be commended.

No

I have never cared much for Marek as his habit of bringing up obscure hockey references of the past comes across as, “look at how smart I am”. That being said, I agree 100% on this. This was probably a once in a career chance for Tage to score 6 or 7 goals, and F Columbus if they didn’t like it(I am speculating that this was DG’s reasoning). Tough…if they don’t like it, STOP HIM.

Which then begs the question, why hire this extensive analytics staff, if the coaching staff is not going use them to their advantage?

When all are healthy, the top 5 of Dahlin, Samuelsson, Power, Joker & Lybushkin are solid. The problem is the #6 spot, and when injuries hit the 7 & 8 spots. Bryson, Fitz & Pilut are pretty much the same guy…on the small side, none very physical, and liabilities in their own end. This leads to… I know it was only a handful of games, but the eye test says that Clague looked better than any of the three listed above. Why not give him another look, or make a trade to improve the 6-7-8 spot. The goal scoring barrage is going to slow down, and the deficiencies at defense and goaltending will haunt them. What say you Kevyn Adams?

Is it summer yet? The worse part of WNY winters are the endless gray gloomy days. 😞

From a statistical standpoint in regards to TT, has there been a better start to a season by a Sabre since Mogilny & Lafontaine were wearing the Blue & Gold?

Giving Mittlestadt and Oloffson a game or two in the press box(not necessarily on the same night) is a must. Not sure what DG is waiting for. If nothing else, Asplund would make that line better in the defensive zone. …and that line should NEVER be on the ice with the 3rd pair defensemen.

😂. UPL isn’t even mediocre at the AHL level, but I guess it is nice to dream.

Never never never never ever. 😂
