Someone next year can take over the fourth line center. Krebs' game has improved this year, too, just not as dramatic as Mitts.

Pretty good trade. With a young roster, what better type of player than an equally young Stanley Cup winner? The old guys just can't relate anymore. We needed a guy who is capable and can take minutes from Dahlin. Krebs has made Mitts expendable. Mitts is going to a playoff team, ain't ya happy foe him? The comfy, cozy room just got a little shake up - they needed that, too.

Who says he has been a great captain? How do you quantify "captain-ness"? But he wouldn't be a retread. And he has no professional coaching experience. He'd totally fit right in.

Say, that's not a bad idea. At least he wouldn't be a retread like He Who Shall Not be Named.

Wait...he's still on the team, right? This thread has no point.

This is the fundamental question.

Yeah, but we're morons for entertaining the idea of acquiring a better coach. Lots of people have said so in this very thread. 🤪

I would love to see him as head coach.

Hoping that, after last night, some Sabres are mysteriously scratched from the roster for this game.

By game 61 last season the Sabres had 68 points and were out of the second wildcard slot by 3 points. This year at game 61 they have 62 points and are out of the second wildcard slot by 10 points.

No way. The roster needs a shake-up. Samuelson has demonstrated he can't stay healthy and is therefore unreliable. I'm afraid Quinn is our new Connolly. We need our own Tkachuk. Thompson has been unreliable, Skinner is mono-dimensional and Tuch has disappeared. Power is a turnover machine with no physical presence whatsoever. None of Kulich, Rousek, Rosen, et al, will add anything to this team. Adams needs to get his head out of his keister and make some bold moves or we'll see yet another season just like the last two.

Goaltending let them down the first half as well: the three-headed monster comingled with the Levi experiment. Adams was too slow to make up his mind.

This right now was supposed to be the most challenging stretch heading toward the end. The record, so far, is good. It's possible. If they win 4 out of every 5. Or is it 5 out of every 6?

Adams better be on the phone working on some deals after this game. Power's goal just raised his value.

Either the Vegas roster is suffering from food poisoning or something or what we're doing is that effective.

This is the Sabres you've been waiting to see all season. Going toe-to-toe with a top end contender and tilting the ice in their favor.

Uhm, they dominated the defending Stanley Cup champs nearly all period. How more together can they get?

Amazing zone time.

Good thing Cozens scored that goal, too.

Cozens has been waiting to score a goal like that.
