Tage loves those 1 color Bills hats lol

Amerks truly blew it against the Cleveland Monsters twice and are now on literal life support. In the 3rd the Amerks peppered Cleveland with shots from every location and yet couldn't get 1 puck past a goalie with only 2 prior pro games under his belt.

Hmm, in round 1 whoever plays the Leafs Calgary LA Kings and I don’t hate Minnesota. I honestly want to see the fallout from LAK beating Edmonton and Tampa/Boston beating the Leafs.

My Great-grandparents had 4 season tickets and my father would take them and myself for a few games each year. In 2000-2001 I went to 23 games, went to a few playoff games and as a 8 year old it was incredible. The 05-06 team got me into the Sabres as a teenager. Then after high school and the half-season lockout I began watching most to all the games because I hated being unable to watch hockey for that half year. Oddly enough, I have watched about 90% of the games since the 12-13 season even with me being tortured by their losing. RJ calls have always stuck in my brain; specifically the Drury tie goal against the Rangers because I had to miss the game to "work" my 8th grade dance. (I manned the snack shop so I could listen to the game) I just remember listening to that game and when the Sabres tied it my ears did that sound limiting effect because how loud everyone got. (A bunch of my classmates joined me when it was late in the 3rd as the dance had been finishing up. Interestingly enough, the 7th grade dance occurred the night of that absurd Sabres vs Ottawa playoff game where the score changed so much that the DJ got confused by the updates.

Cozens will be fine! He's getting the shots and the chances. Dogged determination and eventually they'll either go in or start creating rebounds. Another solid victory. They outplayed the Isles most of the game and never let either of the Isle comeback attempt phase them.

I'm wondering if Dahlin's move to RHD has actually made him better. (Not that Mule doesn't play a role in this) Being on his off-side seems to get him to play more aggressive and keep continuously skating. He's not standing as much as he does at LHD, he knows that he needs to be moving to make sure he has strong leverage on the puck where as on his strong side he can more easily assume it half the time.

That was a lead balloon in water over the Marianas Trench. Buffalo will spend money on a team that wins. The Bills actually do come close to selling out every game; the weather tends to be the biggest factor in regards to attendance to the games. The Sabres belong in Buffalo, no where else. Sure, threaten the fans; always a great idea

Amerks control their destiny, winning out clinches a spot. Losses will add needs to outside help.

So since the Eichel game we have played at a low end playoff team level effectively

He was also instrumental on Dahlin's 1st goal as well.

We've got the Power! Another win for the good guys!

He plays small

The best news is that his draft pick was completely out of left field so even if he busts we aren’t completely screwed like we were with Nylander. Nonetheless I still have hope for Rosen. I’ll never understand that pick the more I read about it. Both BPA and Position said pick a Dman. The Pegulas, known for their input on the hockey team, had direct contact with 1 of the Dmen. Forton obviously loved McAvoy and Sergachev was also available, but was a dreaded Russian. What in God’s name possessed Murray to think a small dynamic winger(in theory) was the best option?

Thought you said Power “in” goal tonight and got very concerned

Olofsson’s shot is back, that’s pretty much the PP’s boost.

Cap is supposed to go up only 1 mil again for 23-24 thus bringing it to 83.5mil

We aren’t trading Krebs, stop being so focused on that. To be perfectly I’m unsure if I’d want either of them for what they’ll be asking for in a trade plus their ensuing contract. I have no interest in Dumba due to his next contract becoming untenable with Dahlin’s in 2 years and Power’s in 2 to 5 years. I want to avoid the situation SJ is in with 3 Dmen making about 25mil. Plus if we give Dumba 6/7 years at 7.5mil, Dahlin will be asking for 9+ mil Fiala for Olofsson doesn’t work well for either side. Olofsson will make 4 to 5 mil per year and Fiala is likely looking for 7mil at least. I don’t know if we can really afford another expensive winger.

Why would karma be on their side anyway. Vegas has been arguably the worst team in the league this year in regards to its players. They shoved their franchise goalie out the door and let him find out via Twitter. Traded a guy they couldn’t trade to begin with and then had to eat crow. They have made Tampa’s use of LTIR look sanitary by comparison. If any team has to deal with bad karma it would be them.

William Karlsson, he to had a similar explosion when the 1C role was thrust on him but has never been anywhere near as good since.

I’d wait until midway through next season, we’ve been burned far too many times over the years. I want him to show us next year that this wasn’t a fluke and that he can be a Top 6 center who can put up 25G 35A or so every year.

I honestly don’t trust either Manson or Gudbranson to be worth throwing money at. Manson has been trending down every year since 2018 and Gudbranson has only ever been good this year under Sutter’s system. Manson would end up an anchor in 2 years and Gudbranson is likely to become a general liability. Copp is a good young player but I’m not overpaying him then dumping Mitts on the side of the road. Lastly there are zero reasons to trade Girgensons, he’s no super player but he’s a good guy and does his job every game without question. Change for the sake of change isn’t going to make us any better.

Vinny Trocheck is winning about 55% of his draws

Going to the shootout

Brian Boyle

My guess would be he might end up available due to their cap crunch this offseason.
