Taro T Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 Unless you buy the idea that the 2013/14 interation of the Sabres was the necessary anchor required to decend us to the depths of pure awfulness expected (and required) (and achieved) of the 2014/15 squad. No comment on its worth; only it's execution. With as often as the worst team moves up at least a slot or 2, tanking a year early was foolish IMHO. Quote
LGR4GM Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 Yet so many internet geniuses call John Chayka a great GM.But how old is that team? Quote
dudacek Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 But how old is that team? You weren’t around in 1984 when Housley Cyr Andreychuk Tucker Barrasso Lacomb Creighton was a clear indication of just how brilliant Scotty Bowman was. Quote
Eleven Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Looks like Sergachev is staying in the NHL: Bryan Burns Verified account @BBurnsNHLFollowFollow @BBurnsNHL More Cooper was asked if Sergachev will play game No. 10 in Carolina. "There's a really good chance he'll be around tomorrow," he said, grinning. Edited October 24, 2017 by Eleven Quote

Rasmus_ Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 Bogosian and Borgen to Vegas for Garrison. (Cap related). I'm just tired of seeing him on the IR and this team needs to just move on. If we could buy a one year meh contract in Garrison to move out from Bogosian at the cost of William Borgen, or someone like Fasching/Baptiste. I'm ready to dump and run. Quote

Why give up an asset to get rid of a contract that is replaced by an equally bad contract this year. No positive in year 1 of that deal. I would consider something like that with Moulson at the end of the year where we can use the space in 2018-2019. Quote

No positive in year 1 of that deal. I would consider something like that with Moulson at the end of the year where we can use the space in 2018-2019. Because Garrison is a UFA at the end of this season. It doesn't help this season but we don't need any cap relief this season because Eichel and Reinhart are both on their ELC until July 1st. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 To be fair, 2 HOFers and a 2 time sc champion isn't bad. To be even fairer, most of that happened after they left the Sabres ... 2 time sc champion for sure ... one of the HOFers scored 50 goals after he left the Sabres and won a cup as captain of a certain Florida team ... the other HOFer earned much of that honour as a Sabre. I guess we just weren't patient enough Scotty ... the pre DR, DR. Quote
Brawndo Posted October 24, 2017 Report Posted October 24, 2017 From 31 Thoughts 24. Mentioned Iafallo a week ago about how the Kings appeared to have found a good one as an NCAA free agent. He said his other two finalists were Buffalo and Minnesota. Quote

Randall Flagg Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 Nolan Patrick left his game due to injury and will not return. I hope it's nothing major. Injuries were probably his biggest question mark. Quote
Sabel79 Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 Nolan Patrick left his game due to injury and will not return. I hope it's nothing major. Injuries were probably his biggest question mark. He got his head smacked against the glass pretty good. Didn’t look great geting up. Quote
Taro T Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 Anders friggin' Nilsson w/ the shutout in Minny. That loss to the 'Nucks isn't looking as ugly as it did Saturday. (Well, other than the fact it WAS REALLY ugly hockey. But you get the point. ;)) Quote
French Collection Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 Vegas beating Chicago 3-1 after 2 periods with their third string goalie. Never would have believed their start to the season. Quote
LTS Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 Vegas beating Chicago 3-1 after 2 periods with their third string goalie. Never would have believed their start to the season. We all expect them to fail... and perhaps that's why they have no pressure. If they continue to surprise Mr. Gallant will be this years Jack Adams recipient in a landslide. Quote
French Collection Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 I watched the Nashville-Calgary OT. Both goalies played the puck on pending icing calls. The announcers were surprised but it makes sense, 100% possession vs faceoff. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 No idea how Shea Weber's teammates can stand in front of the net and screen the goalies while he's shooting. That shot is nuts. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 Kucherov has 29 goals and 52 points in his last 32 games played. That is 11 more points than the next highest scoring player in that span (McDavid). Quote
SabresBillsFan Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 The bottom will fall out. We shall see. The Knights have a lot of solid players. My favorite player is Alex Tuch. Thanks Minnesota for giving us a great young player. He’s big, can skate, goes in the corners and wins battles, and goes right to the front of the net. Our defense works hard. I like our team. Quote
