Don't understand that chart atoll.

ERod and Okposo are significant contributors to offense and defense. So much that they may even re-sign Okposo, put him IR for the season, and activate him for the playoffs.

[Doohicksie]

ERod and Okposo have been more noticeable than I thought they'd be.  They're pretty nice pieces to have sitting on the bench (or in the bottom 6) for when a top 6 guy goes down.

In the East I'm pulling for FLA just because I want to see the ex-Sabres do well.

In all my years as a fan, I can only recall two ex-Sabres that I didn’t want to see do well.

Eichel and O'Reilly?

An eyeroll from @PerreaultForever.

I must be doing something right.

Somehow I can't seem to muster up any empathy for the Bruins or Marchand. No bigger prick in the game. 

Of course. Totally understandable on a Sabres site. Doesn't change the facts though.

What, that the refs had nothing to do with this Bruins loss?

Always wanted Bennett and really wanted him when Florida got him from CGY. Solid bottom 6 guy who always showed up in the playoffs

To be clear you always wanted the second pick in the draft to be in your bottom six? 🤔

Make that three then. 😂 Although I really didn’t dislike O’Reilly that much.

Third string little Latvian goalie getting it done. Who saw that coming?

Not at the draft, sorry; wanted him after his ELC and was on the outs in CGY

McDavid-Draisaitl Edmonton era seems to only go so far. Up against the wall again.

The double!

Does it really deserve a cute nickname?

This sport.

Zadorov having a great playoffs for Vancouver and is a UFA. I think he is going to get paid this summer.

I just love that this forum isn't the only place where he's derisively called McJesus.

Another defenseman that had to mature to his ceiling while playing in the NHL.  Who knew?

These guys are super human. Pretty sure I’d be in the hospital for a week if I took that abuse. McDavid will play next game,… I hope.

Nah, he gets called McJesus pretty much everywhere.  McClavicle is the one that doesn't seem to get much traction anymore.

I'm old enough to remember when someone proposed bringing big Z back when he was still on Calgary and the replies saying "no way, he takes too many dumb penalties" or something along those lines.     
Whomever he signs with is getting a stud dman in his prime

He's 29, how good do you feel about his prime lasting for say, 6 years on a new deal?

No love for the Bruins, but it is confusing why it took two full days for this camera angle to be discovered.  Dirty.

That would be me.

I'm just not a believer in bringing players back that have had left (or been traded from) the Sabres.  I think of players like Pominville who came back an empty shell of his former self.

And something I’ve been waiting to see for over a decade.  Finally the rat meets a cat.  ***** that big beaked ugly dirty Weasley POS.
