Kasian blows up Wilson.  No Bogo, no McCabe , no Baloo.  Nobody there for us if this game get out of hand. 

Yup. Wilson got destroyed and nothing. It was a clean hit, but 9 out of 10 teams get in Kassian's face after that hit.

Is Mike Keenan available?  We need an emotional leader here.

There's a couple of canidates out there.  Question is if the GM is more committed to winning or to his guy.

[SwampD]

Man, Skinner is snake bit lately. He is so due.

You forgot one

"It's hard to win a game in this league"

I never understood that one. If it's so hard, why do so many other teams not have such a hard time doing it? 

 

It really is hard, did you know that no more then 50% of the teams playing every game end up getting a win?

JBot learned the Pittsburgh model of promoting their AHL coaches.  If PH goes, I think we'd see Taylor.

But what's the percentage of teams that consistently lose?

What's really hard is winning two in a row.

[SwampD]

Okposo has been playing really well lately.

[calti]

wow i just checked. the sabres havent scored for almost 2 straight periods.against a really lousy team.

[Pimlach]

Sabres doing a really good job of protecting Edmonton’s lead.

Anybody getting tired of the Pittsburgh model?  How about something like a Boston model instead?

The biggest road block to firing Housley isn’t Botterill, I believe it’s Pegula and his fandom. 

[Pimlach]

Not going to call interference on that late high hit on Montour. 

[SwampD]

I would complain about no penalty, But then we'd have to watch our power play.

He's definitely a candidate.  Hopefully he can coached against Babcock, Julien, and Cooper.

Listening to Randy Sexton talk about Taylor this sounds right

I'm starting to think JBot is committed to not make himself look like he is clueless after the ROR trade, the hiring of PH and possibly watching Skinner leave.

McDavid to Eichel:  "Hit the road Jack!"

[Billznut]

Please get Pominville the F out of here forever 

[ExWNYer]

Good Lord, Pommer. Ugh.

[Claude Balls]

Pomminstein with a great defensive play......on himself. You can't make that ***** up.
