Jack's not the problem. The team isn't talented enough.
When do we start thinking the team might be better off dealing him for 3 good players? Of course, even though Botteril is gone, we could end up with the return from O’Reilly deal.
Jack is a very good player. I wouldn’t yet call him great. One very good player, a few good players (Reinhardt, Dahlin, Oloffson) and a bunch of mediocre players isn’t going to get it done.

Good grief, where do these thoughts come from?
The weed that they’re smoking?
“Dude, maybe Eichel’s the problem!”
”Yuh, he, he.”

I also was told about TBD and TSW by a friend and then saw the Sabres related links.

The rat thing, if it was Florida was during their Stanley Cup run. Mellanby killed a rat in the dressing room before a game and ended up scoring 2 or 3 goals. The fans literally threw hundreds of fake Marchands onto the ice when Florida would score their 1st goal of a game during that playoff run.
The only player, before Marchand, that was called the Rat that immediately springs to mind was Kenny Linesman, though they wouldn't have littered the ice for 1 of his goals. Back in the days before Linesman came along, people didn't throw much other than hats, beer cups, and the random octopus onto the ice, so though there might have been others w/ that moniker doubtful the fans would've done that then.
The own goal was likely Colorado Rockies giving Billy Smith the first ever NHL goal "scored" by a goalie.
Yes, it must’ve been Florida. There were 100s. They seemed to cover more than half the ice, more than hats for a hat trick.
Another funny moment was with a team up by a goal and an empty net, a player is all alone skating towards the net with the puck. The announcer says “This should clinch it” just before the player loses his edge and goes flying to the ice and the puck goes wide. An opposing player trailing the play, grabs the puck and heads up ice and his team scores to tie the game before the end of regulation.

And the sad thing is and don't get me wrong I don't wish this on anyone, but she won't get it. Some innocent doing her damn shopping, or one of the kids, will and it won't end well.
Same thing with the Orange Man. You’d think karma would have him get it, but not only has he tested negative, it was the most negative the doctor had ever seen.

Not trying to be rude, but why do I care about Buffalo potentially hosting playoff games that the Sabres won't be playing in and none of us could even go watch? They'd might as well be playing on Mars.
The lower gravity on Mars would make the games interesting.

Mal Davis' head goal: Sabres clear puck up boards, bounces off Mal Davis' head as he's leaving the ice, bounces a couple more times, and beats the opposing goalie (I forgot
who it was.) Strange goal. That's how I remember it anyhow.
Best Gretzky goal that no one seems to remember nor have a copy of: Gretzky was in "his office" behind the net. He lifted the puck over the center of the net, off the goalies'
back and in. Not a lacrosse goal. A flip OVER the net from behind.
They showed one where a Penguin took a shot from the point, it deflected off Crosby in front, went off the glass behind the net, hit the back of the goalie and into the net. They didn’t say whether the shooter called it.
There was another where a player showed his soccer skills by heading the puck into the net. It was not allowed.

Perhaps if there were fog enveloping the ice and players had to skate around with bedsheets during timeouts to lift said fog, it could be more bizarre? ?
Yes, I agree, but they didn’t show that part. With obvious bias, that whole episode should’ve been #1. I was disappointed with their #1.
Other more Bizarre moments would be like 2 players having their skates stuck to each other. That doesn’t make a Top 50?
Only dedicating 60 minutes to a top 50 didn’t leave much time for each of their moments. There was one that must’ve been involving a player with ‘rat’ in their name, which I didn’t catch, as after a goal the fans littered the ice with rats, including one live one.
Other type of moments that made their list were own goals, including one where, on a delayed penalty and pulled goalie, a player fired the puck back to the point and it went all the way down the ice into their own goal.
-
I thought about Malarchuk but there was a funny tone to the show and nobody would consider that funny.
For example, other moments that made it were somebody throwing a live chicken on the ice and 2 players dropping their gloves and just skating around for a couple minutes with neither throwing a punch.

Just watched the NHL Top 50 Bizarre Moments in history. Sabres-related moments were:
#50- Sabres VS Phoenix- shot puck ends up tangled in back of Mike Smith’s jersey. When he backs into net, Sabres given goal and win game.
29- fan goes on ice by Sabres bench and Rob Ray pummels him
6- bat flying over rink hit and killed by Jim Lorentz with his stick (can’t get more bizarre than that)
#1 in case you were wondering was 1979 game between Boston & Rangers in MSG. Phil Esposito has breakaway at end of game but was stopped. He smashes stick on ice and skates off into the tunnel. Afterwards, Boston’s Peter McNabb goes into stands to fight with fans and other Bruins follow him.

I learned the other day that my wife had never seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I could not let this stand so last night we watched it. She was very impressed that a movie from 1977(year she was born)could have her on the edge of her seat. I think it was even better than I had remembered.
Do you watch Project Blue Book? The last episode I watched had Dr Hynek and his wife at the set of Close Encounters.

I just watched the NHL Top40 All-Time Goalie Countdown on NHL Network. Hasek was #2 behind Brodeur.
Barasso was #34 and all the highlights they showed were in a Penguins uni.
No Ryan Miller?

Since we have no hockey to talk about, I thought I'd start an all star classic rock band thread. Most of this is from the 60's and 70's so I apologize to our younger members. Here is my all star list.
Keyboards, Vocals - Steve Walsh - Kansas
Lead Guitar, Vocals - Terry Kath - Chicago
Rhythm Guitar - Jimmy Page - Led Zeppelin
Bass Guitar, Vocals - Paul McCartney - The Beatles
Drums - Keith Moon - The WhoProducer - Tom Scholz - Boston
Picking this list was harder than trying to fix the Sabres. Hack away!
Jimmy Page as Rhythm Guitarist? Surely you jest. In my book he’s alone as the top Lead Guitarist..

I’ve been watching Avenue5 on HBO. I think it’s hilarious. They even had a funny Buffalo reference in a recent episode. A woman was called to the White House. They show her getting into a cab. The female cabbie says “Have you been to Buffalo before? It’s changed a lot since they moved the White House here.”

Let’s see, Bills prior ownership went back and brought the ancient Marv Levy back as GM and that didn’t work. This Sabres ownership went back in history and brought LaFontaine in as President and that didn’t work. They brought back Ted Nolan and that didn’t work.
Pegs hires McDermott and Beane from a successful Carolina franchise and that worked out well. They then tried this with the Sabres hiring from the successful Pittsburgh Penguins and that didn’t work.
I think this franchise is just jinxed. No Goal! The great Scotty Bowman took every other franchise he was coach/GM of to the Stanley Cup Finals, including the then expansion St Louis Blues, but couldn’t accomplish that with this franchise.

A white Raiders outfit like his dad occasionally wore.
I think because of his position as owner, he just DGAF.

Is the Vegas goal-scorer related to Derek Roy or Patrick Roy? A hint , I guess, would be is it pronounced Roy or Wah. I’m unable to watch the game.

Interesting that Reinhart continues to take the faceoffs instead of Jack for their line. Has there been any explanation for this?

Hard to remember anyone but Jack pulling moves like that...
You probably are too young to remember Gil Perrault. He scored goals like that frequently. Many times he started behind his own net and weaved through the whole opposing team. Guy LaFleur was similar.

How about number 11 with the nameplate of GOATS (Greatest of All-Time Sabre)?

ES goal percentage is just plus minus in percentage form pretty much.
I'll let others provide the meaty responses
Yeah, he’s currently third on the team in plus/minus at +12, behind only Montour (15) and Eichel (14)
Boston sportswriter says Bruins should make Blockbuster offer for Eichel...

I was just going to mention that a deal with Eichel would have some similarities to when Boston traded Thornton. Their return was mediocre. 20-goal/40 point scorer Marco Sturm, young defenseman Brad Stuart and Wayne Primeau. That was it. Sturm continued his production for a few years, Stuart arguably didn’t live up to his potential, and Primeau was Primeau. Meanwhile, Thornton has played 14+ seasons with the Sharks, with production not declining til his 40s.
