ahh the disappointment bowl....- i though the oilers would be like the 80s oilers by now.

I completely agree.You said it better than I have been saying it. The toughest,most sound players are often well into their 30s.

The Sabres have a lot of work to do.I think fans are finally not kidding themselves and realize that overall this is a slightly below average team.Huge improvement over last year. We could use one more scorer but what is needed are strong 2 way players. Preferably tough guys with experience. Team is skewed waay too young among its talent.The experienced guys are mediocre and not tough.

in one yr to go from awful to average is pretty darn good. we need several players..1 center scorer and 3 tough veterans.then we will be in the playoff mix. we have 1-2 great players,4-5 good players and a lot of softies.

well thank goodness we don't have ryan oreilly and his losing attitude on the team anymore.

pretty much..hehe

6 losing seasons in the 1st 35 seasons of this franchise.

the problem with ties only counting as neutral or a win is that it gives the impression that a winning record is a winning record.

.500 hockey;)

.......????

most accurate wrist shot i have ever seen exc for espo

sabres need a 2 center and about 3 tough guys with 'decent' scoring and good game smarts. a don luce a craig ramsey and a jim schoenfeld

I know...some stray bounce. But no.

thanks.. i still think that was an amazing accomplishment.nearly impossible

who was that guy the sabres had who played full time and didnt score one goal all year?

then the other players on the roster must be the worst in the league. EDM isnt even close to being a real .500 team given the phoney way they count things in this league

this is not a tough team. they are weak. thats what happened.

no way....u can see by edmonton the mcdavid isnt a guy who makes people around him that much better

exc Dahlin--and thats all they would take

i wonder what the talk about McDavid is.They seemingly had him surrounded with good players.they must be freaking in edmonton

so true. a bunch of guys who skate around weakly and do nothing

as should a great player. the greats find that unacceptable and will do everything they can for that to never happen again

ps---playoffs?? thats really a ;laugh at this point

the coach is fine. this is a slightly below avg team--look at the plus minus. that tells the real tale. which is a big improvement over last yr. lets get some good /tough players in there to help out jack and rasmus and rasmus and skinner. the rest of the roster is filled with mediocre players and some avg players like reinhardt.

i'd love to see him be as dominating as dom.but he better be as good as orr then....if dom wasnt the greatest goalie of all time then he was top 2 .
