They have a real problem historically doing that. It sounds great, until it isn’t.
We've got the bangers to do it now. Go get 'im, Tyson!

He earned that right.
McJesus is a better player and the Sabres routinely neutralize him. Do the same to Cindy.

Tell Kozak that Sid is McDavid and sic him on that line.
That's right. Treat Cindy and Geno like they did McJesus and Draisaitl. Beat 'em up. Thug 'em.

Pittsburgh is one of those weird teams the Sabres usually either play really well against and win or really bad against and lose to a Crosby game winner.I don't recall very many "OK" games recently against them.
FIFY

On IR for the Penguins: Jarry, Rakell, Acciari, Brazeau, and a couple guys named St. Ivany and Hallander. Day-to-day: Rust and Koivunen.
3-4-3 in their last 10 and losers of 5 of their last 6.
Knock them down, then kick them all the way down to the McKenna Sweepstakes. Go win this game.
Outta the way, Pengiuns. The Sabres are coming through!

So that's Lindy's way: It's your net until you lose.

Not only that they have 3 guys with the same last name of Pettersson. Elias the forward Pettersson, Elias the defender Pettersson, and Marcus the defender Pettersson.
Kinda like the Town of Tonawanda, the City of Tonawanda, and the City of North Tonawanda.

Jack has never been likeable and also has always been the caretaker of the Overlook Hotel.
Thanks for restoring my faith in Jack's awfulness.

But to do that they have to win and improve from their current win percentage. The season is already 1/4 over and do you have faith that they will be substantially better than they have been? Because they will have to be.
Yes I think it's entirely possible. Again, there are threads about all the games the Sabres have lost due to injury and yet they're still within reach. They're getting healthier and their records shows it.
Even more in our favor is the Sabres haven't played the last two nights and they lost.... one point in the standings. The teams ahead of them are not tearing it up. There precisely 2 teams in the Eastern Conference on winning streaks (i.e., more than one win in a row): Tampa with a 4 game streak, and your Buffalo Sabres with a modest 2 game streak.
Sure, the Sabres have struggled this year. But so has just about EVERY team in the East. A quarter of the way through the season, there's only a 9 point difference between first and last in the Eastern Conference. Compare that to the Western Conference where there's a 21 point gap between first and last. The Wildcard, Division, and Conference are all up in the air right now.
Whatever team can string a few wins together will be in the driver's seat. So far, none of the teams in the East have done that really. The first two weeks of December will tell us if the Sabres have a chance: 6 out of 7 games on the road. If they can win on the road in December, they'll make the playoffs.

I'm in the Vancouver market and you're wrong. They risk having him demand a trade if the season keeps sliding away for them. He said as much in the offseason, and Canucks fans see the writing on the wall. If a team can afford the price, he's available.
Well the Sabres would be in the same boat, wouldn't they? Realistically would trading him to the Sabres mean that he also would demand a trade?

Define "Fully recovered". He is chronically injured.
Yes, and to be fair I don't see Lindy taking Tage out of the center position as long as that line is producing.

Did you notice in a recent NHL promo that a player threw (or maybe it was a "spit wad") something at the back of Eichel's neck, prompting a Jack eyeroll? Thought that was a little edgy but funny.
Yes and it pissed me off because it made Jack a likeable person. BOO!
11 minutes ago, PerreaultForever said:That's not what you were arguing though. You took issue with my comment of building around him. If he's top 6, you are building around him. There's no need to argue just for the sake of arguing.
Ah, so since Quinn is in our Top Six we are building around Quinn, too?

He struck me as the kind of guy that, if we were both on layovers, would be interesting to talk to at the airport bar.

Well that is 180 degrees from what Ruff said he plans on doing next week when Norris shows back up; but we shall see.
I don't expect Norris at 1C immediately but I think Tage will eventually move back to wing.
On the other hand I don't see Lindy making changes as long as Tage & Co. are scoring/dominating.
So maybe you're right.

Po TAY to, Po TAH to. You're probably right though: It's more of a partnership, but Kevyn is still the public face.

It seems fairly obvious at this stage that Jarmo is the Gm in waiting.
And to an extent, the acting GM.

I thought it would be worthwhile, but Rosen is a common name without the accent.
I bet 99.999999% of the Rosen references on this site are to Isak Rosén.
DOOO EEEET!

especially is Thompson is gonna be 1 center and Norris as 2.
When Norris is fully recovered he will be 1C and Tage will be back to the wing. Mark it.

This site has set a filter to automatically add the umlaut to the O whenever Östlund's name is typed. Similar to the way how if you misspell Pominville it still corrects it to Pomminstein.
So, no need to copy and paste to get Östlund done up the way they spell it in Sweden. 😉
So Östlund is corrected, eh? What about Rosen?
WHAT ABOUT ROSEN?

He plays a rough game and yet..... in the first quarter of this season he's taken only one penalty.

I yelled "NO GOAL!" at fat old Brett Hull from about 15 feet away at a concert ... and by "yelled" I mean muttered, but the guy next to me heard!
Sabrespace has heard this story before, but about a year after No Goal, I met Brett Hull at DFW Airport. He was waiting for his bags at the carousel. So I approached him and we talked about the just complete season for a few minutes. Finally I asked him about the Cup winning goal. He said he would have liked to score a highlight reel goal, but what happened happened, so what else could do? The refs said it was a good goal; he couldn't give it back. He said all this season, lining up for faceoffs and stuff, opposing players would nudge him and say, "That wasn't a goal, Hull!"
Then I asked him for his autograph. I said I didn't have anything to sign, so could he sign his boarding pass? I told him my nephew, Matt, played hockey, so address it to him. So he wrote, "To Matt, Good luck in hockey, Brett Hull"
I thanked him and said I would give it to him when we went up to visit my family in Buffalo that summer. When I said Buffalo, he visibly winced.
Overall he was nice guy to talk to, approachable. He caught a lot of ***** for No Goal.

I got really bandwagonesque when we had that win streak with Eichel-Skinner-Reinhart tearing it up. That was the last time. Last few years I've settled into a prove it and show me kind of view. Just don't trust this team to show up every night. It's been calming since so far it's been constant.
Granted they screwed the pooch against CGY, but in general this team is bringing it more often than not. I think the current roster is playoff-worthy, but they're in a hole. On the other hand, more help should come when Kulich and Norris return. And the bottom six is more effective than it's been in years. To be honest, I'm okay with the D situation. Bryson's been playing pretty well.
