Does anyone really think our goaltending is better than last year?

Well that’s reasonable and completely defensible.
Is that sarcasm SDS?

Botterill is not interested in a tough, physical style of play and is not going to go out of his way to find players who play in that manner. That's a huge part of our problems. And guess what? They're going to continue.
I hope you’re wrong. Currently we only have Bogo and Risto as a mild physical presence. We are no more physical than the figure skaters ?

ROR wins Lady Byng
Lehner wins Vezina
Kane wins Stanley Cup
Should this come to pass, Botts should be fired at the awards banquet.

And their smallest guy takes a run at dahlin.
Sabres don’t have anyone who will keep the opponent straight.
Bots got rid of Kane a tough goal scoring power forward. Boy we could use a guy like that. A physical presence. His contract will look like peanuts compared to Skinners contract.
-
The Sabres could easily force his hand into choosing LTIR by sending him down to the minors like they did with Moulson. Given the choice of the getting concussed in the ECHL or being at home with the family and not having any risk of injury he would choose LTIR. I suspect something like this transpires this offseason especially if we need the cap space for a big free agent signing.

Usually it's blocked, but I'm getting their video through the trade tracker page. A bit of a surprise there.
I dont think the video is live. It seems taped. like delayed 30 minutes

He doesn’t watch sports at all. He’s an esports gamer. Plays soccer. Watches nothing. Said a basketball team would be nice to cheer for, but sports is worth about a pepperoni pizza to him.
Only waiting on William and Mary, but I doubt he is really that interested.
He sounds exactly like my close friend’s son who is at Rochester and loves it.
-
I have a lot of experience with the admissions process and am currently going through it for the second time. My eldest is at Michigan. Is your child a huge sports fan? If so than Rochester may not be the ideal choice. A few of my friends had kids who were sports fans who regretted not going to schools with college sports. Florida is a great school and very difficult to get into congrats on that. My daughter got rejected by Florida Where else are you waiting to hear from?

I think it's time to wipe the slate clean (again). Let's trade fire PH and JB, then trade Risto, Skinner, Samson and whomever anyone else wants except Dahlin and Eichel. Lets get whomever to coach and whomever to GM. Lets build around Dahlin and Eichel and wait another 4-5 years to be competitive.
I think you're losing it because IU lost to Purdue last night. Sorry, you didn't need that on top of the Sabres sparkling performance.
-
I'm going on the record as saying that trading Risto will be another terrible Botteril move like trading ROR and Kane. While Risto is not a Norris defensemen he is a solid right handed second pair physical guy. we have no one to replace him with. Bogo will clearly not be resigned when his contract is up.

If I’m the Pegulas, I have to wonder why JB got rid of 2 great players in ROR and Kane and got little in return. Moves like those do not inspire confidence especially with a terrible coaching hire and 2 terrible seasons now. Obviously JB needs more time but his seat is getting warmer.

People love to argue whether the tank works or not. The arguments here and war are endless.

The best part of all the losing is listening to Mike Shoope talk about tanking. So here we go again. The tank is officially on.

I think Bots will take the Darcy Regier approach build thru the draft. Don’t expect any Tim Murray moves

That was a soft goal. Ullmark has to stop that

I really believe that at this point Housley would like to get fired. It must be tough for him to live away from his wife for a long period of time. If you’re winning it’s doable but in this situation his life must be hell. If he gets fired he keeps the money and gets to hang with his family in Minnesota.
-
Under Bylesma the power play was decent. It’s on Housley for the complete regression of the power play
-
That may have been the worst power play I’ve ever seen
-
Wow the place is empty. I’m sure tickets were cheap on the secondary market. This reminds me of the Thrashers just before they moved. If the community won’t support the team they should move them to Quebec.
-
Dahlin is going to be a superstar but he is not close yet. When he become a Norris candidate in a few years we will hopefully be much improved. At this point he is a defensive liability.
-
Maybe JB deserves a bit of the blame here for assembling such a wimpy team. He got rid of our physical guys in Kane and Foligno and left us only with Bogo to intimidate. While I hope Okposo recovers quickly a LTIR for Kyle would help rid us of that onerous contract. Some folks here like to blame Jack for everything, he's not Mcdavid and he's not a leader like Toews or Messier, and he's not a intimidator like Chara but he is an awesome hockey player.

Is Mike Keenan available? We need an emotional leader here.
