Peterka is an enigma, he reminds me of skinner more and more. Great player, but terrible on the PP and making passes under pressure. 

So you are saying that the Sabres should pay him $9m a year?

[DarthEbriate]

I stand corrected. The Sabres did get close enough to pull Luukkonen.

[GoPuckYourself]

Ruff is so terrible, needs 2 goals and sends out Krebs/Greenway.

God no

[K012010]

So Misa is really the only prospect that will contribute right away in this years draft right

We might actually be trying to tank at this point, which I think is the best move

[DarthEbriate]

And give up the ENG. Boldy could have been called for interference on the ENG as he went and tied up McLeod while the puck was still landing 15 feet away... but no referee is going to call that.

It wouldn’t have mattered

Not for the Sabres. Adams can find a way to get any of the top 15 picks into the opening night lineup. Either they're too young for the AHL or they're better than Bryson or Lafferty. Can't keep 'em down!

They now lead the league in ENGs allowed! Yay!

[HumanSlinky39]

Another sad effort. This season just needs to end.

I see they gave up another ENG. That's basically automatic at this point. 

14 more games of this *****. If Terry is serious about winning, the moment game 82 ends Adams, Ruff and his staff and the rest of the FO should be told to pack their *****. This organization needs an enema.

[DarthEbriate]

Well. Good game, Wild.

Brodin and MoJo returning from injury. Rossi nursing a knee injury. No problem. After getting out of the first tied instead of trailing, it was never in doubt.

A version of tanking.

[Thorner]

Sabres back at it tomorrow

Sometimes you have to go backward in order to go forward. 

Sometimes it takes 14 years of going backward…

Still at least act like you want to win.

Can someone in the NHL describe to me what a 'deliberate looking motion" is? Not that it made a difference today. I'd just like to know, because actual kicking the puck into the net appears to be legal.

That's good. Play out the string faster that way.

Refs will never give Buffalo a break on any call.

I think maybe because his skate stayed on the ice they would consider it more of like a normal stride type of motion. I guess they’re just straight up looking for some sort of soccer like kick with the foot in the air. 

[DarthEbriate]

Watching Hinostroza play today reminded me...

Remember when the Sabres traded Sheary and Rodrigues for Kahun? The guy who was planning on playing in Europe the next year?

That was fun.
