We wouldn't see this under these circumstances with Phil.

They look really good right now. Too bad another break is coming up.

I dunno, I think that's like saying you're waiting for the bottom on Eichel to drop out. Eichel is at a certain level and won't come back down. Linus has looked solid and good every time I've tuned in. He looks like he's reached that competent starter level and, sure, might vary, but I don't see him going down like Hutton for a while.

The more Linus plays, the better he seems to get.

Jeepers, Scoob, they look pretty darn good!

We're watching this, right? That was Dahlin doing that, yes?

Now all he needs is to develop a chew and video game addiction.

Yeah, so, if Mitts and Thompson are the forward "depth" we want to protect from trading, just toss away the next decade of Sabres' hockey.

Looked like an upstart team that didn't respect the moment as much as the other team. They also looked like a team that, if I'm talking upgrades, there are several critical positions that need an upgrade before the QB.

I thought he seemed genuinely jazzed. He's likely hung out with some of the Bills which would go a long way into making him want to support his buds on the football team over his childhood hand-me-down team.

He makes it looks so easy.

Girgensons says "no" to sending it to the point as the first option. +1 Gus

Mother $%#@ing point shots. Same old habits.

Dahlin has been pretty solid since getting his bell rung.

OH NO, not Victor! Ugh.

A BOTTERILL APOLOGIST! BURN HIM!

If this is all Botterill has...JFC just fire him now.

A forward no better than the rest of the bottom 9. I'd rather have Scandella.

If I were the TBL GM, I would do this. It would be too funny to pass up.

The day Pegula figures out who can be the McDermott/Beane equivalent combo for the Sabres, assuming RK and Botterill are not it, they are gone. Otherwise, I see Pegula sitting on this tandem until then to help soften the revolving-door image. If Botterill can muster up the courage to do his job, then with RK he can probably have a team that is at least a bubble team, which is all the fan-base needs in the short-term.
