Nice win! Lehner was a beast, mattys best game in a long time, larsson did great, 4 points for ror, 3 for risto, 2 goals by gionta.

 

God feels good to be a Sabre!! :worthy:

 

Sure worth staying up until 04.00 am for :D

I have no reservations about stating my opposition to the coach even in the face of a blowout victory :)

 

(I will also note I didn't put any blame on Bylsma for Thursday).

1) The Sabres have made some great trades over the years, getting Drury, Briere, Hasek, and Satan come quickly to mind, but ROR is simply an awesome hockey player.

2) welcome back to the NHL Matt Moulson

3) Cody Franson is a disaster on skates.

4) Doesn't Edm know not to poke the Bear?

McCabe is growing into a solid top 4 possibly a top 2. Larsson doing his job (if he could just get a shot off), Fasching looking the part. Okposo and Kulikov are nice additions (though not fast Thorny). They can weather the storm if they play this type of game consistently.

I've rethought the Fowler trade: acquire him and keep Kulikov on the third line. McCabe has impressed me and I think he's definitely worthy of a second-line spot going forward. Protect Risto, McCabe and Fowler without hesitation.

If Kulikov ends up having a great year then protect Risto, McCabe, Fowler, Kulikov, O'Reilly, Okposo, Kane and one other forward (Larsson, Girgensons, Foligno, Ennis in that conversation).

Do we have full confirmation on the need (or lack thereof) to protect Bogosian?

Like PHam was saying, Gorges deserves a TON of credit for this game. That might hurt some here to say that.  :angel:

 

He had an excellent defensive game. Maybe his best as a Sabre?

Bogo must be protected he has a NMC. Kulikov can't be protected unless extended before the season ends because he is a UFA.

 

By the way, can a Sabres, just once, knock Lucic into next week?

Murray had the option not to honor it, and last I knew, we don't know whether he exercised that option.

Just because a player waived the clause to allow a trade to one team doesn't void the clause permenantly.

 

We had a huge offseason discussion on this. If a team acquires a player with a NMC that hasn't kicked in yet, the team is not required to honor the NMC.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
