North Buffalo

Fair enough then he needs to cover the points better. We are talking D here and Sam’s game. Its getting better, but I dont expect much from him to begin with. As for nickname... what is a 3 seat bycicle called?

Again middling is the result of inconsistency. I dont see him diving in front of pucks or blocking many shots. His board play has vastly improved and his breakout passes he wiffs on a little too often. Did it against the Bruins a couple of times.

Sabres may try and trade him to a team of his choosing if possible... bag of pucks... late round draft choice better than no pucks at’all.

He is middling, sometimes good, somtimes his D zone breakout passes are brilliant others wtf. He has gotten much better a long the boards.

Jack, Sam, Skins line... hmmm The tricycle?

Yup they can still score... their goaltending is a bit better lately and Crosby is back. They will hang around, but their D is suspect. That being said, they would still be 6th in the Atlantic.

Welcome from an Amherst Grad... wasn't around til memory wise till the expansion Sabres came aboard. Was 7 when that happened, still have a Northlands stick faded signatures signed by the SCFs team. Use to listen to them under my pillow as a kid. Usually get to a game or two down in the NYC area now. Team is fun to watch again.

Good win, Larry and Girgenson played tough all game and Bogo was a beast. Hunwick not bad for first game... rest has been said about Jacks line.

Only negative Bruins 2nd goal result of bad Ghule change, should have stayed on backside Sam no way could have gotten there.

Sam called him tank the other night, I see a canny resemblance to the narrator from the rocky horror picture show... neither has a neck:

I really liked the speed of Zemgus, Larry and Erod and I can see Bergy being the odd guy out. Wonder if he would have fit better on 3rd line but who do you sit Pommer? Maybe and that might be why the no show.. Sabres are not St louis style though and gotta believe he wouldve been gone by trade deadline.

After a double and another overnite you are lucky it was that cooherent.... friggin computer sys crashed for tele rad group last night and had to make calls to get one to come in to do wet reads. took til 3a. Luckily slow case load.

Caps had a rough game with Carolina last night went to a shoutout. Hopefully the Sabres especially KO is able Foresberg a couple of them early one and the 2nd line keeps up its momentum.

Interesting and agree generally, may need one in development as well. That being said... not sure I'd want to play poker with him... he stated the obvious, didn't rule out anything and basically said what it would take to make a move, a young controlled guy that could be part of this corp. Left out Pilut as well... I think he has shown he is going to be part of that young corp. Thinking the Sabres may want to find a young high end center as well, either with the draft or trade. The St. Louis pick may be the most valuable especially if they start trading the few assets they have or pics. They may stink more next year than this year and if they hold on to their pic this year, that center may be available in either of the next two drafts. I am really liking how the D assets are developing.... You have Ghule, Borgen and Pilut in various stages of getting close... Laaksonen and Samuelson developing all with potential to make the NHL plus the current D of Dahlin, Risto, Bogo, McCabe, Nelson and Baloo who is greatly improved. That is some backend strength. Those four pics could be used depending on the talent either in the draft or available. JBot's scouts seems to have set up the the College and Euro pipeline well, They may be able to find some future gems in later rounds. Forward depth still seems lacking beyond Oloffson, CJ Smith, Nylander and an improving Asplund and who know what Pekar is at the next level but seems to have the drive. Hoping to see more of this coming up in the next two drafts and maybe the Sabres don't make any moves. Still would love to see Tarasenko in a Sabres uniform and Alex Petrangelo is rumored to being shopped by the Blues...

Sam at the end of his interview I believe called Middlestadt..."Tank" lol, I think it fits Mitts.

Ice ice baby and lots of motrin

BTW in Bridgeport the AHL affiliate of Isle play... only 25 min from me and maybe 50 from Manhatten plus there are at least 3 maybe more minor league baseball teams in the area. Very fun for the kids.

We live in Northern Westchester, Devils games are just across the bridge from Manhattan and easy and cheap relatively for tickets...next door to where the Giants and Jets play literally... All three teams are within 15 miles of each other. So NYC metro area..yeh. Isle playing in Brooklyn till new stadium is built next to Belmont raceway... gonna be nice based on designs I have seen. Easy to get to by car or train and of course MSG.

Go Sabres

Tage and Mitts put it all together and score 40 each... Eichel resigns his captaincy and Sabres return to co-captains...

NYC JUST SAYING.... baseball and hockey, the other two were league mergers. 3 NHL Hockey teams in NYC area.

NS Youve been a busy beaver this morning.

Mercy is a good word... there is always a plan... you do the footwork... the results will follow... just be ready to go with it.

Yeh didn't mean it that way... but he is playing way over his head at this point in his game.... doesn't have the speed or the ice awareness to execute today's game and not enough nasty either. He has bounced around and saw him play for the Kings earlier in his career not sure when and he had a bit more going for him then. Just not an NHL level player at this point in his career and over his head... No he doesn't make mistake positionally, but doesn't have it at this level anymore... what I see Nelson being in a few years, ok defender when younger but when your legs slow down and you aren't that fast to begin with... I understand why the Sabres brought him up... experienced and unlikely to be claimed if sent down again and not a huge loss given their long range plans if he is claimed... would rather have Redmond called up, but he would probably be claimed given all the injuries throughout the league on the back end... so there is that. But not sure if he gives the Sabres enough to justify bringing him up...

Ghule is finally done pouting not making the team this year and is playing well... not sure he is the best option yet... Tennyson at least has some NHL experience, but yeh he is garbage.
