27 Matt D’Agostini – 23 Ville Leino – 44 Nicolas Deslauriers
Ack. That line would look better with ANYONE ELSE at center besides Leino. Can John Scott take a faceoff?
Plus idk who their goalies even are,
McDonald was the backup to Jimmy Howard in Detroit. Perpetually on the AHL-NHL bubble. The other guy I don't know either.

The captain disappearing act isn't something unexplainable. We're a team that has been in sell mode for a few years. Captains are generally talented and valuable players. Ergo teams would give good offers to acquire them.
So if we put a C on Staff, it will tell the rest of the league how valuable he is. Right? Right?
-
We really need to end this tank so I can find another player to have man crush on.
I made my choice, although Lieuwen is trying to make me reconsider.
-
my joke about the captain dissapearing from the roster is now scaring me :cry:
So is it agreed that Stafford should be the next to wear the C?
-
If I let fear of corporate cronyism prevent me from consuming I'd be living under some pine branches in the woods wearing the pelts of the animals I've killed for food.
Is this a feasible option? Because if it is, I'm in.
I agree, but you think they would want to bust their humps so that they may be part of this team going forward.Why? Seriously, better to get waived and try with another, more successful, franchise.
I think much of what I read here is the byproduct of The Tank. People say they want the Sabres to stink it up for the #1 pick but the reality makes us crazy.
...as foretold by the prophecy.
-
Deslauriers - Girgensons - Foligno should be our 3rd line next year.
I could get behind that.
-
BTW, it is awesome that you have a chart titled Tank.
Someday we'll look back at this and laugh.
I hope.
-
He's sleeping alright.
The thing that aggravates me is how much Deslauriers is playing with him. Nic shows promise. I hate to see that sucked out of him by the mere presence of Leino.
-
...deslauriers continues to impress...leino is still useless...
And unfortunately since they play on the same line they cancel each other out. How about putting Deslauriers on the line with Foligno & Hodgson? (Or do Deslauriers and Foligno play the same side?)
-
Defense and Goalie seem to be set for the future.
Now for some extremely talented forwards.
If the D is so good, why are the Sabres routinely allowing 40+ shots per game.

I will just say this: The officiating last night was very pro-Original-6. There were countless infractions committed by the Habs that the refs just totally disregarded, while they called a lot of iffy stuff against the Sabres. When they did the replay of one of the penalties, Rob Ray was saying, "oh here it is, no wait, it must be that...or..." In other words, there was no infraction committed by a Sabre, but the penalty was called anyway. Then Deslauriers (or however you spell it) gets smacked in the face with a stick and no call. Come on.
Deslauriers is a keeper. I like his effort, I like his skill set. He's not first line material, but he can chip in and isn't afraid to lay the body on the other team. He seems to know how to use his size without drawing the penalty (something Myers has struggled with).
I root for wins, but at this point I'm just trying to get to know the Sabres team for next year. A lot of these names will be with us until all these draft picks and prospects are ready for the bigs.
-
Another "bottom 6" forward for an entire team of "bottom 6" fowards. I'm so excited...
Let's grab Martins Karsums while we're at it...and Roberts Lipsbergs is draft eligible this year too!
Grab all the Latvians! :-)
I'm buying stock in the company that makes all the Ss for jersey names.
So are we saying Nolan is building a tank one piece at a time?
-
Are you kidding? Every time he scores, the Sabres lose. He's the goose who brings the golden tank.
See? Told ya.
-
Stafford is on a streak! Trade him!

Skinner, how can you POSSIBLY argue whether that was goaltender interference? You hip-checked the goalie in the HEAD.
-
Goaltender interference much? Neuvirth thought so.
-
Ouch.
STAFFORD really got on his horse to negate the 2-on-1. Way to go.
-
-
Deslauriers is playing hungry. I like that.
-
I think goaltending is gonna be ok for the rebuild
This Neuvirth guy is okay.
-
I still think that should have been a penalty, and the goalie should have been suspended for the hit. Intent to injure cuts both ways.
-
The cats are in the tank and not in the tank at the same time.
So you're saying he borrowed them from Schrödinger. Maybe.
-
Nashville is my favorite western conference team for an unknown reason, I just like them.
You got the hots for Trotz!
Apparently we are in a full scale rebuild... who knew?

It contains this rather accurate quote: "Seriously, look at that stats box above - the Sabres are a simmering pile of garbage these days."
Well at least they might not be "spinning their wheels in an Edmonton-like morass." (i.e., the Sabres aren't the standard in futility. Yet.)
-
Come to think of it, that would explain a lot...
About TrueBlue or me?
