North Buffalo

Hockey News has an interesting article too: https://thehockeynews.com/news/article/five-reasons-the-2018-19-buffalo-sabres-are-for-real

Maybe the early 70s teams as far as talent and being young. But the D on the back end now are all better skaters. They have some toughness too with Bogo Risto and McCabe as well as Dhalin nasty. They play physical nice blend of size, more holes up front talent scoring wise but you can see it coming. If TT and Mitts can pick it up add in an Oloffson, Nyls and Pilut and woah this team might really be able to light the lamp!

Rasmus Dhalin to Jake McCabe for November

Yup about $160 each for upper deck at msg

Ps Casey finding his wheels. Nice to see secondary scoring last night, that third period shows the team speed, just wish Larry could bury one of his chances, he is so close.

Disagree, dont think he was outworked made some very good decisions along the wall did a lot less attempts at rope e dope and pushed it deep. Even appeared to catch himself one time and made a simple play I think it was before he was set up for shot that went over the net. No he wasnt perfect and its not getting out worked but learning how to use his leverage with his tall frame. He is a little bit awkward at times. But I saw great progress last night and a more mature game.

Not quite what I had in mind at 1-2 when I posted Sabres have em right where they want em but after the beginning of thatnperiod Ill take 3-4.

Got em right where we want em

Hmm interesting

Started out in mail room then worked my way up to managing NIH medical research grants for a group of docs.

Didnt have to chose between my family and school... money and I and my Mom didnt get along... she constantly threatened me with it so I got a job at school and got free tuition 3/4 time as well as paying for my rent and living expenses. Didnt have to hear it from her again or explain jack to her. Best thing I ever did.

ESPN Pittsburgh Penguins forward Derick Brassard returned to the ice Saturday for the first time in nearly a month. Brassard was in the lineup to face his former team, the Ottawa Senators, after missing the past nine games with a lower-body injury. Pittsburgh lost 6-4. Brassard has five points in nine games this season -- his first full year in Pittsburgh. The Penguins acquired Brassard from the Senators last season as part of a three-team deal that also involved the Vegas Golden Knights. Saturday's game was Brassard's first in Ottawa since the trade. The injury news wasn't all positive for Pittsburgh on Saturday, as star Sidney Crosby missed his second straight game with an upper-body injury. Crosby is considered day-to-day but is expected to miss a week with the injury that coach John Sullivan said is not a concussion.

Amerks following in Sabres footsteps nice!

Again that is not what the forecasters are saying about this draft... and as such may make pic more valuable even if used as trade bait. I am not opposed, but bringing in a guy that doesnt fit even if good, may not meet expectations vs developing someone with talent. Both may need summer of camp so anyone brought in should be viewed for long term potential not just a rental. Maybe I am jaded by past attempts...

I hear you except this year’s draft suppose to be deep. Will need to eval next year’s draft before any such decision. And be careful who...

Really depends on what is out there and cost. Dont screw up the rebuild by mortgaging the future. Anyone incoming will need time to acclimate to the system. Might be tough to find such a guy that could play top 6 without large cost and still maintain chemistry...

Yeh but trading Sam before we see what we have in Mitts and those guys is premature. Not sure you would get enough for Sam to get a very good 2C without trading Sam and one of those picks. Next game Monday against Pitts probably without Sid. Hopefully they put it to the burgh.

Patience my young padowan... 2-3 1st rounders next year in a deep draft class 1-2 the following year.. Oloffson, CJ Smith and the third Rasmus coming...

Bring on Pitts their are playing sh its

Wow way to lock it down and find a way... Ullmark was great after those two in the first.

Now if Caps and Toronto can lost tonight keeps Sabres position in good stead. Sabres could be tied with Toronto tomorrow night.

Who knew when some said they would be happy with 2-4 on this road trip, the Sabres would win the first two... Now playing with House money... hope they just go for it against Minny.

Wow great road win... gonna need to watch this tonight, was too tired and needed sleep. That is two in a row to shootouts. Great news Bastan lost on OT. Sabres now in 3rd place for the moment. Looks like that holds thru the night...

P.S. Already x-rayed 3 ankle fractures because people insisted in going out in the wet snow... Its like folks forgot what winter is all about... sigh...

Love the GT threads, thank you! Go Sabres...
