Two significant injuries in his second full season. Not good. When he plays he's excellent, but is he durable?

That would require Team Pride and Team First Leadership… Hate to say it… No evidence with our bunch yet… To be fair, no evidence some players aren’t working on their game together… Actually, maybe they can't, not as a team. What does the contract say exactly?

I doubt it. Make Waves.

I've seen a few times lately where there is a puck coming toward the point with a Buffalo forward chasing an opponent, and the defense could easily pinch and keep the puck in, but they skate back. Risk it! There's a forward coming back; it's only going to turn into a disaster if you miss the puck cleanly. But if you're the first one there you will control the puck.

This has always been true. When they've been good, this is how they played. When they don't move their feet they suck. This is universal for as long as I've followed the team.

Muel and Cliffy are the top 2? That surprised me.

I guess this is the Ultimate Retired Meme. And one of the first.

And yet prior to this he's only had one disciplinary action against him, a fine.

Do you think this could happen or are you just playing.... wait for it... Devil's Advocate? 😄 😄 I'll show myself out.

Good luck charm. Sabres are 5-0 with him in the lineup this year.

The answer might already be in the system. By next summer one of Kulich, Savoie, Rosen or Östlund, ever even Poltapov, might be ready to make the jump.

JJP has that EFF YOU attitude. He's a punk. A very, very, very good punk.

What the hell? SIGN HIM.

Rayzor: "What you like is the two guys coming in from behind." Care to comment on that, @inkman?

It wasn't exactly a delightful start.

Brutal.
