Only 7.7% chance of making the playoffs? Team troubles aside, we're only 4 points out of 8th with 32 games to play.

If that puck touches one of the Nashville D in the neutral zone, it's not offsides. The puck changes direction in the neutral zone, but after watching it a dozen times, I still can't tell if it makes contact with a player (22's hands/stick?) or if it changes direction on the bounce.

SI feels the same way, calling for the Sabres to either go at least 3-2 or go back to the drawing board.

Math is overrated anyways.

Short answer: not that I've seen. But everyone knows he's asking Colorado for a contract that's more than 3 years in length and, at least by Colorado's standards, significantly more than $3.5M per year- enough that they haven't been able to come to agreement. If someone were to offer sheet, $4.5-5.00M would be the best guess for getting him for fair compensatory return while getting Colorado not to match.

I genuinely hope that whenever Darcy's done with the Sabres, that he writes a book accounting the interesting times. I'd like to see a chapter devoted to the art of trading players and the almost deals that never were.

Thread title should be 19-9-4 (or 18-8-6 or 20-10-2), as we've played 16 games for 13 points and "need" to beat 54.4points (93 point pace on 82 games).

You wanted to equate us right here:

So you trash me for looking for positives and trash him for pointing out negatives. Do consciously process your hypocrisy before you post or is it a better read to pretend to be surprised when it's pointed out to you? In any case, a player that plays well in a game and is let down by a lack of effort from teammates can rightfully call out said teammates, and in some situations, it's appropriate to do it publicly. Happens all the time. Ruff called out his goaltending (what he he ever won?), Miller responded. Miller calls out his team, let's see what happens.

Last time they fought: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdicuYZuUFc

Any ###### coach in any sport will tell you that you have to find positives in a win or a loss and build on them and try to solve the problems that slow you down. Loser's mentality. ###### you.

###### you, PA. I'm not going to be the whiney ###### during postgame. It's always ###### you ###### this team ###### the GM ###### the coach ###### the owner ###### the fans ###### the arena ###### the scouts for not drafting Orpik ###### the end boards for being too bouncy ###### pucks for being made of rubber and bouncing off of sticks ###### the zamboni driver ###### that. This team will get better and it will leave you behind. I'm an optimist and I'll enjoy watching it get better. Edit: And Miller's still looking good, but he needs better support off of rebounds.

Back to back solid games. Even with the mistakes today, we're still in better shape than a week ago. Myers played better again. Ehrhoff played great. Gerbe got a little better. Hodgson scored a big one. Ott turned in a perfect performance. Kaleta demonstrated a lot of growth as a PKer against some of the league's best. I thought Ennis was great with the puck at both ends, but still needs some work away from the puck in the D zone. Moving in the right direction. I want to murder Leo for not picking up Dupuis on the 3-3 tying goal.

MILLLLLER!

That's honor in battle by both gladiators.

Paging Anson Carter.

It's the source of his puck handling abilities, which are also figuratively getting out of control.

McCabe's stock has gone up a lot in the last year. I'd like to see him finish at Wisconsin, maybe play a year in the A, and go from there. That's not to say I couldn't trade him, but he wouldn't be first on the list of youngins to go.

Again, for what it sounds like they're asking, I'm not sure why we're not offer-sheeting with a 1,2,3 pick. The players we'd give up (for example Stafford and Brennan, or something) could easily get the 1,2,3 pick returned from somewhere else if we wanted it. I wouldn't put it past Regier to fetch at least a 2nd rounder at the deadline for Leopold. Maybe Colorado has indicated they'd match at that level, but then they would have to be ok with a potentially unhappy marriage for a year.

Looking for Myers to build off of his strong, confident Bruins game.

I get the sense that both Darcy and Colorado want to get something done, but Colorado may be asking too much or for the wrong parts for Regier's liking. It seems like Colorado could be trying to set a seller's market and their prices have been too high so far for most of the interested parties. If they were being more reasonable, you'd think there'd have been a deal by now between Colorado and some team. The longer this goes on, the more it's feasible that the market cools, and some team ends up with a reasonable exchange for O'Reilly. Del Zotto's been looking good for NYR, led D with 41 points last year, 3rd in minutes, 2nd in +/-. Seeing as NYR has very little forward depth and a good pool of young defensemen, I could see why this was being discussed.

Craig Button and Darryl Sutter weren't exactly model GMs and Jay Feaster is probably the worst of the three.

Hoping for a speedy recovery for Sekera, the defense corps need him intact and skating well.

Credit to Ruff for his work with Myers this week. Ruff identified Myers' problem with confidence, executed a plan to improve the situation, and if the last game is any indication (1G, 2A), it seems to be working. I hope Myers continues to build off of this personal victory. In before "does not fit narrative."
