We gonna retire labattblues #. . Enjoyed your take in the time I've been here. Come back when this season really starts to rock. It'll be exciting. Happy trails.

lol

Also as bad as they were the oil did not tank last year.

Winner winner chicken dinner. Regierian mistake takes the cake. Love that phrase.

how old was Housley ? Shite. Did I just ask that.

My gawd this is going to be an exciting season no matter the outcome. Its the journey not the destination this year. And who knows where this all ends up ?

Totally agree. There's nothing else to talk about. If the walls had ears we'd be amazed at some of the conversations G.M.s have concerning possible player moves.

The craps

Wow. Thanks for that.

Excellent observation and I agree. It seems that depth isn't valued or talked about until you have a lack of it. Methinks it'll be closer to 15 games for the first injuries to start chipping away at the depth. Its already happening on ' D '.

Beautiful clear night here on the west coast. Unobstructed view of the eclipse except for the neighbours weeping willow tree in the back yard. Had to move off the deck and move around to the front of the house to see it but it was real cool. I'll be 68 the next time that happens. Shite

I agree with you're assessment on overall team toughness. It appears the league is moving towards eliminating the true heavyweight that isn't good at hockey but imo it'll still take awhile and some teams may waste a roster spot on guys like this simply because they have no one else to fill the spot. This could create problems for teams that don't dress one or they can just overwhelm that team with speed and talent.

If the eek line can give the other team fits out of the gate I see no reason not to go with it. I'm thinking Disco will prolly change it up mid game to throw a wrench into the other teams defensive systems or to give the Sabres a spark.

collectively this team has more backbone. You're still going to have problems if a true heavyweight picks on a star unless we dress a heavyweight.

When you suck you gots to stand up for yourself. Teams take liberties with the weak link. It's all part of changing the culture. You won't see many teams picking on the Sabres anymore. If they do they know they'll pay a price.

The concept of Kassian just fought Frazer in the Laughs / Habs game.

That first line looks awesome lines 2 thru 4 look like three 4th lines with the exception of Girgs. The defence ... Yawn. GO SABRES !

Maybe they're showcasing Guhle for another team ? Part of a package of prospects ? Who knows. Reinhart will be fine.

Samson making a case for staying. Maybe we have our adam oats, an assist machine.

Nice to see the game day banter is in midseason form. Looking forward to more of the same. GO SABRES !

Foligno searching for consistency. Imagine that.

Fromunda cheese.

If Murray doesn't phone around to see how his assets are valued around the league he isn't doing his job. If he can pull off a trade to improve this team he will and has. Thats what this was imo. Simply seeing what was out there and what it would take. Perhaps he was just fielding questions from other G.M.s and this rumour sprung from that. Just doing his job.

Someone take American citizenship ?

Guhle will be especially popular around Halloween
