Gotta take a quick shower and get back here for the 3rd. The sabres are absolutely must see tv right now. I love hating this team so much!

Anaheim, Ottawa, and Detroit are in complete rebuilds.  This is year 5 of ours and yet we are circling the drain with them. I can’t see this team winning more than 10 more games this year.

I count it at 8.  The same time it took to build the Erie Canal with shovels!

So, when does the "Eichel, Reinhart and Risto want out" thread fire up?

Asking for a friend.

If I'm Terry Pegula, I'm picking up chairs, tables, and anything I can grab to throw at the TV. He has to realize this is it, the core of the rebuild will most certainly want out.

Ristolainen just battled through a heinous virus that took him over 2 weeks to recover from and possibly long-term health effects on his lungs, heart, etc. He should demand a trade to a contender because life can go awry at any time.

What is the likelihood anyone throws a reckless hit or tries to initiate a fight in order to wake up his teammates? You know, the kind of thing any other roster in the NHL would do when down 3-0 at home late in the 2nd and needing to send a message that the third period is going to be different.

I'm afraid that would be the final humiliation. We'll start a fight and end up with our guy leaking all over the ice. But, yeah I'd like to see someone get at least a little pissed.

Possibility: they may be too tired to fight.  IF RK is right, and they're drained, they simply wouldn't have the energy to throw down.

He’s the only physical defenseman this team has and who I really like. If I’m a player in Buffalo I would want out.

Remember when we tanked and we had to trade Enroth because he was scraping out a win or two we didn't deserve? Remember this lineup?

Ennis - Girgensons - Stewart

Moulson - Mitchell - Gionta

Deslauriers - Flynn - Foligno

Larsson - Ellis - Hodgson

 

Benoit - Bogosian

Zadorov - Ristolainen

Weber - Meszaros

 

Neuvirth

(Lindback)

2/15/2015 vs. PHI. That was only a 2-1 loss because the team didn't look absolutely lost, just outclassed and talent-deficient.

Ok ok.  Trade it!

From my early perspective seems to be missing the couple “can’t miss” forwards up top.  For D there is a nice deep pool of quality prospects.

Expand  

Well, that’s my opinion, isn’t it? Wanted to trade it for immediate help last draft, should be no surprise. 

Ya, I’ve heard it’s particularly weak for forwards, decent for D

Thanks....I see less talent, but a hell of a lot more backbone and heart than 2021.

When we get shut out again, can KA really leave RK in place? He's got to get rid of him just to try to fix this club.  

Expand  

It’d be up to the Pegulas. Both KA and Ralph report to them, the lead hockey minds
