  1. People seem to be conflating the goals here. The team goal is to rebuild with the best players they can get in trades, free agency and the draft, regardless of the draft position, and they will. Obviously, they would prefer to have the top pick, but there is too much out of their control to ensure that outcome. The fan goal is to get the generational player to be your linchpin for the next 15 years. The next Bert or Patty. And Marner et al, just don't cut it in that regard. GO SABRES!!!
  2. I think it's safe to say that for the majority of fans, it's been about one player. The organization is gonna accept their draft position, regardless. And we will no doubt land a good prospect. But there is only one McDeichel. So let's not pretend otherwise. GO SABRES!!!
  3. Easy for you to say, Goose.

    You have captured Nolan in a nutshell. GO SABRES!!!
  5. Is it me or does it seem dark in the Nashville arena? GO SABRES!!!

    Well, I know the reason is for me not being a coach, but I just can't figure out why Nolan isn't a coach. GO SABRES!!!
  7. There's a fine line between laying down and doing the strategically right thing for the franchise in both the short and long term. Finishing to ensure a shot at one of the top two players is nothing to be ashamed of if it helps your team. Amassing meaningless points in meaningless games with a team half full of players that don't figure in your long term plans does when it's not in your best interest is just strategically stupid. I have yet to see a compelling argument to the contrary. GO SABRES!!!
  8. Looks like BU hasn't played in a week. Really flat compared to other times I've watched this year. GO SABRES!!!
  9. Isn't there some sort of topical cream for that?
  10. As long as Linback maintains his compete level, it's all good. GO SABRES!!!
  11. Yep. Then trade Zadorov and Grigs to CO for ROR. GO SABRES!!!
  12. God, that was one FUGLY period of hockey, assuming you can call that hockey. GO SABRES!!!
  13. No time to take chances with your best player. Sit Ennis the rest of the year just to be on the safe side. GO SABRES!!!
  14. The couple times I've seen him he's been impressive. Great wheels. And a decent prospect. But the reason he's not talked about more, is because of who occupies the top of the draft class. As good as he is, he is simply not in the same class. His lack of physical stature has little to do with it. GO SABRES!!!
  15. AZ has this because they are committed to it. Has nothing to do with Darcy being a downer or not. Murray is being derelict in his duties by allowing this to go on. It is just not in the best interest of the club to not ensure one of the top two picks to land the linchpin of your franchise for the next 15 years. AZ, from ownership on down, recognizes this simple fact and they are in it to win it. Ironically, in an effort not to "shame" the organization by willfully setting up to lose, the Sabres are shaming themselves anyway in letting another team beat them to the prize. GO SABRES!!!
  16. Oh well. Something to build on for sure. Young team, well coached and now, tournament tough. They had their opportunities and when they watch the tape of this game, there'll be a lot of woulda, coulda moments. Congrats on a fine season for UB.
  17. And when you match that talent with our unsurpassed compete, you have the juggernaut that leads to 20 wins! Nolan is the King of Compete! GO SABRES!!!
  18. No, in the games vs AZ and TO, Hackett would be the backup goalie to our ECHL callup. GO SABRES!!!
  19. Arizona may get McDeichel, but they will never have our compete level. So there's that. GO SABRES!!!
  20. I honestly don't know what other goalies they have, but starting an ECHL goalie makes no sense to me. Unless they are doing it to ensure last place. GO SABRES!!!
  21. Can starting an ECHL goalie be done without backlash? Aside from pulling your goalie at the start of the game, nothing is going too far at this point. What, we're gonna get scolded by Bettman? Nobody is gonna remember any of it anyway. GO SABRES!!!
  22. This is inspired! But I'd still play Ellis over Tynan just to be safe. GO SABRES!!!
  23. This is a valid point. I wouldn't be above putting barbiturates in their bench water. GO SABRES!!!
  24. I say Hackett can back up our ECHL goalie instead. GO SABRES!!!
