North Buffalo

I agree, maturity issues past or not, I don't trust the guy. I still don't think he is truly committed to playing hockey for the love of it. He plays it like a job and he is punching a time clock.... Nothing inspiring there. Let the guy go and whatever you do don't resign him. Foligno has already started picking up his bad habits...

Think you are right, now just have to root for Calgary as well to win and the Isle to lose and St. Louis to keep winning. Tank on and Stafford still needs to go.

Leino stated migraines caused dizziness. I too wonder about a physical condition affecting mental health or the opposite creating the migraines. I don't wish this on anyone and hope he gets better, just wish he would play better for the Sabres especially after getting paid so much. I too like Lieuw, nice to see a big goalie in net and if he keeps working, Sabres may have found their next no 1 goalie:)

Only if you were planning to fall asleep. Sabres won, but game was kinda disjointed. NJ is not very good, imo.

That is awesome, congrats. We just started as well. Won the first two games. I missed the next 2 because I was on vacation and sick, but should return shortly. Good luck on this next season. Our motto is we suck...

I almost feel sorry for Leino except that he plays on the Sabres... and gets paid a boatload of cash to not score goals. He won one when the Sabres still need to lose 2 more...

I thought TB and JB were supposed to be good at this stuff... (sarcasm). Someone needs a refresher class in marketing 101.

Ah, so right after the end of the season. Got it. First things first still need to finish last.

8 games left... 2 more to lose to wrap up last place!

Does it count if I am going to MSG on the 10th to see "this pile of excrement?"

'Bout time... glad it happened...

That is what Darcy said for years and the Sabres lost talent up the middle. Centers like Hodgson can be converted to wing when need be, but wingers rarely become centers. Draft up the middle, go after centers. I can't stress enough Ecklab now matter how is rated is not the answer in this draft. My only question is which one of these centers is best to draft, not if the Sabres should draft one with the first pick. The Sabres are Deep at D, and maybe some there are some potentially late maturing D later in the draft. So, yes I patently disagree with your thoughts on this... :wacko:

So I am not sure if anyone has posted this video, but TSN's Craig Button has the Sabres drafting Bennett 1st and getting this year's pick from the Islanders and drafting Draisaitl in the fourth spot with Reinhart going 5th to Calgary. I gotta think if the Sabres have an opportunity to get Reinhart 4th they take him over Draisaitl, though who knows. My question is who has the bigger motor with all that skill. Granted he assumed Buff would win the lottery and the current top 5 would draft accordingly. http://www.tsn.ca/draftcentre/feature/?id=49649

Not quite accurate, they seem to say Reinhardt as characteristics like MacKinnon and could develop into a similar player. I disagree, not the same type, but I think they are comparing his vision and that he makes those around him better by being able to set them up. I don't think he is the same kind of skater, he is bigger though and uses his body more to shield the puck, but doesn't seem to have Mac's speed. Just my opinion of what I have seen...

I think there is logic in both of the above statements and that is why no one can with any confidence figure out what the Islanders will do. Guess it will be a hurry up an wait deal and give us one more thing to discuss after such a crappy season up to the draft.... Yipee (sarcasm)

And in overtime way to go Stafford, getting that stupid penalty.... the power of the tank should not be underestimated... Even if tank commander Leino is not in, his assistant Stafford was in full force last night. 8 games left and 12 points down to Edmonton, Sabres only have Florida and Edmonton to beat for last place. Oilers playing the Strangers today.... gotta root for Edmonton. Florida playing NJ tomorrow.

Hoff got abused in the corner that led to that 2nd goal. He went in soft and the Tampa Bay guy didn't.... like you said Brawndo... it was fun while it lasted.

So the magic number right now is 5 points and if the Sabres lose tonight it drops to 6 points it drops to 4 points the Sabres need to give up or to guarantee last place. Another words if they 6-3 in the their last games they will still finish last. Tank on. Looks like the Ranger game I am going to on April 10th will be a gimme game for the Sabres, not sure about the Rangers, sounds like they are still playing for something.

Yup, saw that last night did you?

I agree talent in system as fast as possible, but I think if Wang is selling, there is now way Snow gets to spend to the cap and maybe, just maybe the Isle don't defer.

You must be his agent... Seriously, talented goal scorer, elite he isn't. When motivated he can be elite. But his inconsistencies relegate him to talented, but not elite.

And to counter AA's statement, management doesn't pay attention to this board, while definitely not obligated too... that pic is case in point that they are paying attention, even if it is only window dressing and smoke and mirrors. Kinda like the cigar man above :devil: . Sabres have a potential disaster next year on the horizon now that Patty is gone and Nolan hasn't signed yet, even though Stafford is still here. At least TPegs has a couple of scape goats... Joe Band Ted B... just saying.

Not sure of tie breakers, but I believe the Isles with 1 point pick up last night still need 1 more point or another Sabres loss to assure them of at least a top 5 draft pick. Friend of mine in the know near people in the Sabres says Foligno hanging out with Stafford too much and it is showing with his effort. Gotta get rid of Stafford now!

Good news, the Islanders are winning 2-1, bad news Florida is losing to the Hurricanes 3-0

I hope not... but you may be right... worried about TP and his front office, which brings up the meddling charges... :devil: , sorry couldn't resist poking the lion during such a miserable game.
