"If" he gets fired....Bruce Boudreau. The man knows how to win and has done so on multiple teams. Strong track record of winning with multiple types of player rosters, meaning he can adapt the style to the players he has to work with.

Disappointing....for a change they outplay a team in the 2nd and all they need to do is play a sound 20 minutes for the win. They simply don't know how to play with a lead. They haven't won in Chicago since 2007!

Feeling more like a repeat of last season.....going to a shootout feeling like an automatic loss.

I didn't say any of that, but whatever makes you feel happy with yourself....including calling other posters crap! I'm not a millennial, so it does not bother me.

Pffft, I like how you think you know everything....even when it cannot be proven right or wrong!

I'll take the 1979 team any day. Players in 1979 were motivated to give max effort because if they didn't, they would be sent to the minors. Todays players lack the same motivation and feel sorry for themselves if they don't play. They may be bigger, stronger and faster, but softer in heart and character. As I said I another post, level the playing field by having today's players use the same equipment in 1979 and see how they do!

If I recall, the Sabres beat the Soviet team...so I don't think it was exactly Slapshot old-time hockey. Yes the game is different in many respects, but I would like to see today's players can use wood sticks and old fashioned skates and goalies using smaller heavier pads and straight-bladed goalie sticks and see how they do.

They had a lead with 3 minutes to go....officials gave Boston a gift PP which they converted. Pulled their goalie as well. Scored the winner with just a few seconds left in regulation. Florida clutched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Sure why not! Let's put Mittelstadt and Tage on the next PK as well!

I would have liked to have seen what a full season would look like with him....too bad he got hurt so early.

Confused again with the defense pairings....seems like it's musical chairs again.

Really liking Montour on point for the PP....maybe there is hope it can make a difference.

Jack deserves an assist on that one too, but won't get one....shame.

Mother of God....Sobotka?

Some good news in the league....Florida is beating Boston with 3 minutes to go....just a one goal lead though!

They tangled in the last game after Risto hit Kane.

Yeah....PP! (sigh!)

Too many turnovers...not taking care of the puck.

3 defensemen on the ice (BOGO, Risto, Scandella) and we still could not prevent a goal.

I like BOGO playing physical, but that's not exactly what I had in mind.

Rick J. is having difficulty identifying Scandella from Nelson.

Kind of just emphasizes how bad that trade was....that we all are hoping the players we got choose to leave the game or get sent down to Rochester.

IMHO, A multi-year run at the cup will require a great deal of patience from all as it can only be achieved via consistent success in drafting. Yes some trades and FA signings can fill some critical pieces, but you have to have a pipeline of young talent to challenge year after year. Trades will sometimes come with strings attached like taking on salary dumps which can hinder your ability to sign your own RFA's worth keeping. The question is how patience can we all be and how good is our front office in scouting and drafting? After GMTM, I wish to avoid a repeat of a "win now" strategy. We'll see how well that works for Columbus.

Few things: 1. Acquisition of Skinner proving that Jack's game is elevated when he has a winger who can keep up with him (and can shoot). 2. Dahlin playing every game this year proving that he is not only talented, but durable. 3. Sam playing at a high level for a complete season (to date). Honorable mention - Angry Larry has had a good rebound year as a role player.

P. Kane feasts on the Sabres....he will have a lot of room to operate and make Buffalo pay.
