Malone from Quinn and a Dman

While I doubt he'll play tonight, I'd guess Friday is a good possibility. Now we just need Anderson back.

Dahlin’s strangest attribute is how he’s like a chameleon defensively. Put him with a good positional dman, he suddenly becomes better at positional defensive play. Put him with a physical guy and his physicality increases; put him with a train wreck like Butcher and his defensive game goes belly up. I really have no clue how to figure that out lol

I still believe if there was a trade out there that wasn't absurd, like trading our 1st for a goalie, we would have done so already. Most of our trade target ideas have been just as bad as what we have already. Korpisalo and Georgiev for instance.

You know he's good if even Callaway isn't raining on his parade. 😉

For starters I just really wanted to put Der Fuhrer in something lol. Poloncarz is a wannabe despot who is just another power hungry politician so I felt is worked pretty well. If it were Communistic styled I'd of called him Premier Poloncarz for the additional alliterative appeal. Also its more about the idea than anything else; I'm fully vaccinated and boostered so why should my family and I be punished and inconvenienced for the short comings of others. That isn't the government's job nor right. My little sister has Downs and is touch and go with masks; as for me, as an asthmatic, it makes it harder to breathe when I'm moving around. I'm not someone who will refuse to wear one and cause trouble for the completely innocent workers caught in the crossfire but I should be allowed to complain about it without being being insulted or crucified on social media. Doesn't help my general mood that Twitter is a cesspool of hypocrites who demonize and belittle people who say China made "COVID-19" while those same people applaud the conspiracy of the CIA killing JFK. Conspiracies are just that, conspiracies; and the extreme difference in their treatment by Twitter itself and the many users is rather telling. But that's a whole different topic.

Cozens the top goalie?

We might need a goalie, problem is the price is probably too high to be worth it.

Der Fuhrer Poloncarz has mandated masks again and is threatening Vaccine mandates along with potential lockdowns. I have the vaccine and the booster already; but I know a person who literally can't have the vaccine due to allergies. (They are allergic to one of the ingredients) Why should they be ostracized? This has become Orwellian in their desire to control the populace.

Where is this info coming from? Nothing I read has painted the Pegulas as anything worse than either meddlers and/or well-intentioned incompetents. You do know that most owners buy their way into the ownership role if they don't inherit it. All sports franchises are their owners' playthings to a degree regardless. NHL teams more than most due to their near permanence in losing money.

Defensive hockey sense, almost certainly. Offensive hockey sense is either great or terrible but never anywhere in between from subject to subject.

I doubt any owner would ever take the blame for their team's screw ups; that's literally holding the Pegulas to an unrealistic standard. Financial Issues, potentially, the Sabres specifically however are far more likely than the Pegulas personally too much of a jerk to fess up, already explained this one above. An owner will rarely if ever apologize for bad on-ice/field etc performance instead blaming everyone else, I agree but seeing as blame has to go somewhere it doesn't exactly mean much treating his players like cattle.. is not really true in Buffalo. Our players have a great locker room, and quite a lot of perks with the job. Most players leave fond of their treatment but angry/bitter about the results. I'll take Lehner's situation with a grain of salt seeing as they got rid of the staff members involved years ago and Eichel had already decided he wished to be traded and the Sabres did nothing against the CBA in regards to him. this isn't going to end well, for us we have no clue; hopefully we are turning things around at this time

Butcher injured or did he end up benched for the 3rd?

Heartbreaker, that's all I have. Feel rather depressed today between the Bills and Sabres.

I'm unsure how to read this comment?

Including the WJC I assume? If he continues at this pace we may need to sign him to have more of a challenge lol

I believe its a tad slowed down, The other clip is slowed a tad to show the dekes more clearly. In real time its more of a fast movement followed by a slow goal score

Krebs got nearly kneed down in OT for no penalty. Malone bumps Frost from behind gets called. Samuelsson blocked 2 crucial shots on the PK Quinn & Peterka with SO goals to win. Quinn had a Patrick Kane style goal.

Doubt Bjugstad will ask for his money back after that BS pulled by the coach.

I was going for the Classic loonie tunes one https://www.youtube.com/embed/pQxh9Sn0Id8?start=22

Oh shud upppp

What I would give to see someone sucker punch Lucic into a concussion protocol.

Well, let's see what Granato can do during the intermission. I want to see them flying like Pittsburgh was against us.

Probably part of it; as a whole we can compete with far better teams but when they begin shortening their benches the difference between skill levels becomes more pronounced. Additionally we produce less offensive pressure since we have no way to brutalize their weaker defensemen who tend to be sat. It would fall into the same reasoning the Oilers fail in the playoffs in part, but in reverse. The Oilers have 2 incredible players who when on 1 line; if they can be cancelled out, or at least contained, the other 3 lines get caved by their opponent. Our problem is that our depth is pretty capable but we lack much of any top end scoring or playmaking. Effectively, on the road it becomes far more pronounced as we can’t play matchups. Even if Cozens can end up in a draw with Crosby, Pittsburgh can merely shift around Cozens to give Crosby our lesser line of scraps with R2 and Bjork. And once they start grooving it makes Cozens’ job even harder to the point the dam begins to crack and leak.
