If the Oilers go on to lose this series I have wonder what they were thinking when they traded McCloud for a prospect. Every other team that is as close as they are to a cup chance trades future assets for players that can play now. The bottom half of the Oilers lineup is killing them. They just can not clear the zone. I know salary cap was a concern with the Evander Kane injury but If they had to move on form McCloud they could have traded for someone who might actually play games for them this year and into the playoffs. Not matching the Broberg offer for a draft pick falls into the same category. They could have traded him for a player but took a draft pick instead. You just can not waste your superstar years for assets that do not help you now.

It says it all. You cannot just tank for draft picks and win. Somewhere along the way you need people that know how to build a team.

The problem is that these appealing players don't have a desire to join a Micky Mouse operation after they have been associated with a championship run organization. When you have resided in the premium suite you are not going to choose to live in the ghetto. The Sabres are to the NHL what the Pirates are to MLB. It's a place not to go to and a place to get out of when there. This is what the Pegula ownership has done to this victimized franchise and fanbase: He degraded it to the point of ridicule. There's a business course taught in schools. It's called: What not to do. It's considered an introductory course.

Bennett is going to get PAID after these playoffs. He’s been incredible.

Panthers in 6

Well butter my butt and call it a biscuit! I thought Adams told Ruff he had to keep them.

We’ll see. If he does garner that amount, I’m sure it won’t be here.

and its raining again

Back on topic It will be interesting to see if the Oilers have a response. They lost puck battles at a Sabres level last night. McDavid looked like the only player skating hard for the visitors.

I thought Dec. 6th was their season ending luncheon.

I always thought that whole run around about "getting to know" and then "feeling comfortable" was Adams being smug ash hole with a punchable face. Getting to know doesn't mean hire and feeling comfortable doesn't mean not fire. To me it's the same tone as "extensive search" and "Terry gives me everything we need".

Rick Dudley, Senior advisor to the GM. Just saying. The only thing that has kept us from being them is Pegula.

Love it and need more of it, McAvory did it to him in the 4 Nations. Keep pounding him and Draisaitl and you will beat Edmonton. Both teams are definitely trying to injure each other, tons of crosschecks and lots of dirty stick work!

We're like the artist who, after an arduous time crafting the perfect piece, decide it's as done as it will be and release it to the public. Those pieces, they're like the artist's children, really.

You’re gonna like the way you look. I guarantee it.

Keeping hitting McDavid and Draisaitl and physically wear them two down. Ekblad caught McDavid good and that’s what needs to happen! Glad he got lit up, ***** McDavid!

We tanked for Reinhart and Eichel and they may win 3 straight cups in some form. Kinda funny, tbh

TWICE!!! They repeated the Rex Ryan saga; but this time rather than choosing McDermott they went with Richie Kotite's younger brother who happened to have been working in the copier room.

Almost hired him

Well, if the Eulers don't want to go out in 5 they're going to have to get back to playing their style of hockey. No way they're going to out Swamp Rat the Swamp Cats. Guess these guys listened to the talking heads that were saying they needed to give back what the Swamp Cats were giving them. They tried. Problem is, they seem to be REALLY bad at it. Not saying they shouldn't try to hit 'em, but they've got to knock out the cheap hits. Only a couple of their guys know how to try 'em and they got caught up into it and ended up getting caught like the rest of their teammates that tried. That was fun watching them get smoked for their own stupidity.

The Florida panthers were built to beat you up and beat you down. It’s ironic because Edmonton was taking all the cheap shots

I’m down here too. And totally agree. They’re exactly what I want the Sabres to be.

Florida doing what Florida does and they do it best. Edmonton losing their cool. Up to their leadership to get them back on track and to play disciplined next one or it could be over. Florida is such a well coached and disciplined team of rats. I wish we played like them.

We moved down here 20 years ago and I did. Nice to take the boys to the rink when they were growing up. Zito is the opposite of Adams. Everything he does is right. Absolutely love the style of hockey they play. We could only dream of a Buffalo team like this.
