That appears to be happening naturally. By the end of the season it’ll be no home fans.

Arber Xhekaj is the coolest name I’ve ever heard.

He was rage

Dahlin is not smart

Tooch!

It’s laughable how easy it is to spot the little things the Sabres don’t do. Just dumb and lazy plays all over the ice.

Post of the year as far as I’m concerned.

Can we just do away with the anthems already?

Oye. Tough to say right now. As you mentioned it’s Levi hands down. After him, still has to be Kulich and Rosen but neither have done anything in 2024 that make you think they are knocking on the NHL’s door. Kulich still has 17 goals in 35 games. Pretty damn impressive despite his recent slump. Lucas Rousek is leading the team in scoring and assists, 36 & 27 respectively in 42 games. Rousek should get a look soon. Neuchev and Novikov are players to keep an eye on. Neuchev has Afinogenov type speed (not quite his overall game) and Novikov is a big Rooskie putting up .5 PPG same as Neuchev. Neither should get a sniff soon but maybe a late call up next season.

I just figured they saw the Ducks and Sabres as having juniors level talent on their NHL roster.

That is deserving of 2 minutes for instigating and maybe a 10 minute misconduct. If some cowboys fan decided to get in my grill about wide right, it’s about to be a bad night for most people in the bar, especially me.

I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting for an NHL team to trade a top 5 pick. Outside of first overall picks being traded for a kings ransom (see Eric Lindros), do top 5 picks ever get traded? Especially after the draft order has been determined, so after the lottery. What’s that timeline? Two months? Id love for it to happen but NHL GMs are a cowardly bunch. The last thing they want is to give away a franchise player for a third line plugger at the deadline.

Amerks and Sabres both tonight at 7. Both played Monday afternoon at the same time and both play Friday at the same time. I realize they probably don’t give it one thought but should they? I’m guessing in their wildest dreams they couldn’t picture WNY hockey fans choosing the AHL over the NHL but I’m about to do exactly that. Hell, if the prospects were actually doing anything the last dozen games, this wouldn’t even be a contest.

I don’t think too many people are here to argue Girgs production. He’s been a good soldier, find him a team for a chance at the cup.

Broken clock is right twice a day

Might as well shut this thread down. No way this team even gets within sniffing distance. They have been in desperation mode for a month and still can’t figure out how to beat a goalie with 40+ shots.

I’d love to agree. Maybe next season that will be the case but NHL all-star and current $11 million dollar man resides atop the totem pole now. It can’t change fast enough.

Don’t care. Not one player in the league is worried even a little when those two are on the ice. I need Doughty, Weber or Pronger. Not two guys who don’t even shave.

I’m all for firing Granato, mostly because why not. But this is on the players. They don’t have players that play with courage and desire. They have guys who want to dangle and score goals from 30 feet. I’d gut the team at this point. Stick with Cozens, Peterka, Quinn and Benson. Trade, buy out, get rid of every other single player. I hate them all. Even Kulich and Rosen who apparently can’t take a couple flights and play for their country without it screwing up their lives.

The fact that Dahlin is now the face of the franchise makes me immeasurably sad.

This team is broken
