SHAAAUGHT!!!

I've been to the Outlaw music fest the last two years and you will not be disappointed. Willie's voice is still strong and sounds great, and last year was the best live Dylan performance I've seen since 1996.

In this one interview JK already demonstrated he understands more about the actual dynamics of building and running a team than KA ever uttered in all his interviews combined. I needed some good news about this team and hope I’m not getting too excited by the shiny new toy…

I don't care who it is that replaces him, but I'd like to see someone: 1) that can break down plays and talk strategy and reasoning for decisions during the game, both game play and coaching 2) that focuses on what is happening on the ice and not the buddy banter (I'm so sick of the "these guys seem like great friends and fun to have a beer with" type banter that distracts from the gameplay) 3) can speak clearly (sorry Rayzor) 4) doesn't have to feign excitement for the job and wants to get better and better

I think there is a better chance of seeing Jar Jar Binks speak in the Queen's english while playing R2D2's wingman at Mos Eisley Cantina. In other words, it ain't happenning...

Two players from the list that get a pass from me: 1) Cody Eakin - him trolling Eichel in his first game back against Buffalo with the neck roll was really funny 2) Sobotka - he was just starting to get into the groove here when Kucherov ended his career in the global series

That’s it. Sabres definitely aren’t making the playoffs now 🤣🤣🤣

Said no one at any point ever

Are there any details on his injury? Is everyone freaking out over a possible cold/flu?

Chicken or egg yeah? They rushed players because they didn’t have enough older players to fill those roles. Some of these guys should not have seen the NHL and experienced winning in their respective league(WHL, AHL) if they didn’t have proper support in Buffalo. For example I know Benson would have been stuck in juniors, but I’d rather have him be a god in juniors getting 23min a game playing all situations than a 3rd liner on a crap Sabres team playing 14. Levi, Power, Casey are another 3 prime examples that come to mind

Cringe inducing off ice player videos by the PR department

Anyone else notice how Greenway didn’t even acknowledge Bryson when he was walking past him to the dressing room after his misconduct? I read this as Bryson is definitely not invited back next season (thankfully)

Ryan Johnson seems to be often overlooked as an option going forward. Does anyone following the Amerks have any feedback on his development this season? I haven’t seen any games this season so I have no idea how it’s going for him personally. He seems to be getting the reps and time in the minors, which is a major development criticism this org has rightfully earned as they’ve rushed too many young players to the NHL without proper support. Curious if this might be someone that can step in and fill the gap if we are able to trade Mule or Clifton.

It’s Vegas, so if history is any indication I’m pretty sure everyone there is always available 😁

I understand the frustration a lot of posters have on this thread because we all want to see this team do well, and they haven’t in a long time. I think if we all took a collective breath and took emotion out of it we could see that 1) Dahlin is showing growth as a captain and leader on this team, 2) he seems like a good honest person and wants to do well and see the others around him to do well (this is the major difference between him and Eichel), 3) he is a top 10 defensemen in this league (or close to it) and wants to be a Buffalo Sabre. The Sabres are better with Dahlin on this team both short and long term. Im glad he wants to be here and that he isn’t happy with where the team is today. And after watching that interview I have no reason to think otherwise. I’d start to worry about Dahlin’s desire to be here If the playoff drought goes another 2 years.

Let’s just add this to another unfounded assumption based on absolutely nothing. Thank you for perfectly demonstrating my point.
