Scratches can also be coaching vs. GM decisions. I still do not get your point...what was JB supposed to do otherwise with MM? He only played 14 games and showed that he had nothing to offer in return for his GMTM salary. JB removed him from the roster, but there was nothing that could be done to move the high salary.

14 games in 2017-2018

and kept Moulson around. So what exactly was he supposed to do with MM? I don't think other teams were exactly standing in line to steal him away from the Sabres.

I agree GMTM was the worst Sabres GM. I don't necessarily think hiring Bylsma was the reason though....he could at least coach a powerplay! Hindsight is 20-20, but I look to the Moulson and Okposo FA signings as his worst decisions that we are still paying for. Second is the Lehner trade, significant overpayment of a round 1 pick there. I would also add the McNabb for Fasching trade as another failure....even though McNabb moved on himself. Next is the drafting of Alex Nylander, who thus far is a bust at #8 overall. There is more, but the bad moves were made in such a SHORT period of time that made Botterill's job so much harder coming in behind him.

By some miracle if this current roster makes the playoffs, it will be very short-lived. We lack too many pieces and are too soft to hold up when the intensity picks up in the playoffs.

Okposo the first player off the ice

Erod skating nice circles in his zone and then a beautiful blind pass turnover to Dallas....nice shift

Pretty much par for the course as far as the recent history of Sabres captains....Gionta, Pominville, etc.

I heard that is the job of our 2C....oh wait, we don't have one!

Because there is no room on the Ontario Reign's roster until Moulson moves on.

Nothing lost with the challenge....since HCPH never uses the timeout anyway.

L1 may have a little bark (Skinner), but otherwise there is simply no bite there. Wish we could compliment Jack and Skinner with a big physical winger that could take some of the heat off of them....especially if this team ever makes the playoffs.

Seems like too many of our players are having to get back up off the ice. Aside from BOGO's check, have any of the Star's players even had to bother wearing any gear tonight?

Danny Gare's Roast - I suppose he's going to want a few tickets!

Ullmark's baby boy could be a possibility in a few years.

Yes, we have them just where we want them....that 2nd period killer instinct this team has!

Somebody please tell Scandella that he is a DEFENSEMAN on the PK!

Slow down the PP as both Rob Ray and PA suggest? No problem, just add Okposo!

Exactly my sentiment as well! What dirty little secrets does Scandella have on Housley that keeps him in the lineup every night? Scandella should have an extended hiatus to the press box. I am beginning to think the only way to get Scandella out of the lineup is to hope for a friendly-fire incident where one of his own teammates puts him on the sidelines.

Maybe Mittelstadt looks like a "steal" at #8 in comparison to what we got so far at #8 from the previous year (Nylander)?

Good one! I think of him more as the "Sloth" though. He has maybe the slowest windup / release on the team ....slow motion! Skating about that fast as well....hard to move fast when you're flat footed all the time.

Another turnover by Scandella....almost cost them.

Pizza always makes things better!

Dahlin and BOGO are +3 while the other 4 D-men are each -1.

Typically bad 2nd period. Giving up a goal in the first minute and another in the last minute just so indicative of a team not playing well.
