right on the money

which is why i made the adjustment to say that their skills MAY be slightly less than todays players.Doesnt mean i didnt think they were skilled. When players fought for the puck in the corners or went in on goal vs Korab or schoeny they very quickly became less skilled when they knew they were gonna be battered and bruised.Same thing would be a factor in today's game.

not sure what u r getting at..Schoeny and Korab would kick ass in today's game despite having slightly less speed than today's softies on the sabres.

Korab and Schoenfeld--neither of them great skill guys. But they were as tough as it gets. Each of them easily 220 and fearless. Other team went into our corner with fear..and that messed up their game. So i would take a halfway decent puckhandler who is an enforcer vs a better puckhandler who is soft and gets pushed around.

Hasek was supernaturally good . The world will never see goaltending like that again. Our perspectives were permanently skewed..-But even then our 90s D was tougher than this crew.

I think in theory(talentwise)we are the better team. But losing to TENN and PITT(Jax I will consider an anomaly) shows a disturbing trend consisting of JA playing at a B- level and our coaches not being at Belichek level. Those are all part of what defines the level of the team. And even the 'best of the Bills'-consisting of the ability to blow out bad teams-Is now being matched by NE. Superior coaching makes NE equal to us at this point.

Well--I was hoping we might have a few yrs of being better than NE after getting schooled and humiliated for 20+ yrs. No such luck. NE is every bit as good as Buffalo right now. ..Lets hope for a split.

Art was more Buffalo than Buffalo

True. easy call. But I think many head coaches would have kicked that FG.

I like the call by WASH 'The football team' 4th and goal--31 sec left leading TB by 4. Gotta end the game right there.

i was just gonna ask if gabriel was in the permanent doghouse

open it up--get rid of the ball quick..and make them vulnerable to the rush. thats it boys There is no joy in Cleveville this afternoon

maybe they finally realize that we arent a dink and dunk team...not with our personnel

is it just me? or does this game feel a bit jacksonville-like?

dont be a small thinker

there is a familiarity.here

gabriel in the doghouse?

lots of lessons for granato to teach...to our lazy vets and our youngsters

Take the 10 north to La Cienega. Turn right at the benihanas.

you brought up the fact that edmonton is a disastrous franchise just like the sabres.

Bongos at the aud..good idea. Short hand goal,assist,penalty shot.. A Krebs cycle?

hehe Mitts?? People still hoping on that one?

Pegula--hard to root for that guy. What a mess. He certainly is a helluva oil and gas man though.

What franchise D are you talking about? Junior Dahlin doesnt have the GUTS(Phil Hartman) to play D in the NHL.

When is he a free agent?? The guy is still one of the best players in the game.And has another 5-7 yrs in him. Problem is the cost. How about Dahlin for Kane straight up? ( if i were chicago i wouldnt do it but you never know)
