IDK - I'd personally like to see the Sabres continue to fortify their center spine and turn it into a position that has a deep talent base. If they have too many centers, some can shift to wing. We were so thin on center prospects and trading Mitts waters down our center depth.

This has been my concern with Jack as a Sabre. He seemed injury prone (frah-gee-lay) without necessarily playing a hard-nosed, self-sacrificing style. If he actually played with a high-motor, I think he is a 100 pt. level player....but would end up only playing 50 games or less due to injuries.

So is it now that Toronto needs 4 points in their next 3 games (just lost to Bellville a little while ago)?

So if Bellville beats Toronto, do the Amerks still have a chance?

Anybody but Toronto!

Great game in Florida vs. Leafs, Panthers come back from 0 - 2 to win 3 - 2 in overtime. Brandon Montour with the game winning goal!

So going back to something one of RJ's son's mentioned....does RJ live in Canada and has that always been the case?

Keep shooting Dylan!

Vintage Skinner...score a goal from close inside and then get under the opposition's skin afterwards.

Especially if he can hit 40...maybe an EN this game?

I like Fitz's attitude, but he is really better suited for Rochester.

Gotta love that our shorter stature guys are feisty and not afraid to talk @$#%! to the opposition.

He's not had the season I expected, but maybe he'll surprise some people next year.

Rocket!!! Anyone get the MPH on that one!?!? Puck exploded off of TNT's stick.

You might get my attention if you include Marcus Foligno in the conversation.😉

I too hate that our season is nearly over, but I am anxious to see what happens in July with the draft and other possible additions. Every off-season has some drama in terms of changes, but this is maybe the first summer where my optimism for next season is genuine.

IMHO - chemistry and culture can be a fragile thing when a team is trying to find and build it (vs. having it already well-entrenched). Z brings an element of hard work and tenacity which is an attribute this young team needs to adopt as second nature. Z is relatively inexpensive and brings leadership to help guide this team. I like him on the 4th line and hope he can stick around.

Do you think the Sabres have a chance of Jiricek being available with our first pick?

Didn't Lafleur and Perreault play together for Team Canada once? I can't remember who the third line member was, but Gilbert was really flying until he had an unfortunate injury that tournament. RIP to the "Flower", a loss of another great one!

Not a fair fight, Sam without question. In addition to the reasons above, Sam also goes to the more difficult places on the ice to create offense.

I guess he didn't care about how well the Sharks have been doing as of late....they've lost 10 in a row and are in tank mode.

Agree Vegas has a limited window to win with their current roster. With respect to Jack, I see him in Boston in 2026/2027 no matter what, as he will be a UFA and still in his 20's.

Something that will be interesting to see in coming seasons is the health factor. I've felt that Jack was somewhat injury prone in the past, but I've also thought similarly about Tage. With Jack, I feel he played a lot of games injured and his effectiveness was compromised. Fast forward to this current season and Tage has been pretty durable this year. If this is not a fluke and his move to center enables him to stay more healthy, then that could be an unexpected benefit to the team.

I love the river tour, I never realized it existed until after I moved away from the area. It is a great reminder of the city's history and heritage. With respect to the USS Sullivans, I personally am a fan of preserving our past whenever it is feasible to do so. It would be nice if there could be some options identified with estimated price tags so that a strategy could formulated.

Hindsight is 20-20, but heck YES!!!
