  1. Yeah, I'm sure she just brought some soft drinks out for the guys, eh? 😉
  2. Because they feel they have adequate defensive depth but needed help at center. The Sabres have adequate forward depth and needed help at D. In Cozzy's postgame he said they talked during the All-Star break and Byram said he wanted to come to Buffalo. For him it's a great opportunity: He's never going to break into the top pair in CO unless Makar or Toews gets injured, but here he has an opportunity to earn a first pair billet with Dahlin. Byram has 3rd highest TOI/Game among CO Dmen, behind Makar & Toews. He's a career + in +/-, although only a +1 this year. I don't think they were giving up on him, they just wanted a middle six center and were willing to pay the price.
  3. Neither did Kevyn. The last thing I saw from Mitts about contract stuff is that the Sabres never contacted his agent about an extension.
  4. Until the deal is done, you never announce you're trying to trade a player (unless they've asked for a trade). If Kevyn had announced he was trying to trade Mitts and then no deal worked out, now you have a player on your team that knows you were trying to move him- very demotivating.
  5. Pretty strong storm blowing through, lots of lightning.
  6. And they didn't challenge TO once the Leafs got possession.
  7. Sabres just didn't protect possession well enough in OT.
  8. Saw that… Ridiculous… Letting them play It's Krebsy's fault for putting his head where it doesn't belong. 😉
  9. Ryan Johnson is gonna be a helluva player for this team.
  10. I like a lot of Little Feat songs but that one in particular burrows into my soul. I could listen to it on repeat all night.
  11. I just feel like he played the game the way it should be played, and the way more Sabres should be playing it. The decision to move him, apparently months ago, was a tragic one in my view.
  12. With Mitts gone his place on the team is more secure and he will get more opportunity.
  13. That was a pretty mild penalty but I'll take it. Now score!
  14. It's a matter of degree I guess. I don't see it that way. It's merely an expression of resignation. Mine too. I think this was the only positive of the Krueger era. The whole team sucked but Ollie scored a ton.
  15. Because we're to the part of the season where absurdity is apropos.
