Great win, seems like this team is just young and going through the pains of such. Toronto may suck next year because of the Myers effect, laziness and other teams learning, for all we know :flirt: Eichel needs to learn how to tie up guys and play back to backs. Maybe its just the injury effecting stamina? Risto is not only a horse, but a Clydesdale with cybernetic enhancements :w00t:

They'll play valiantly, and by that I mean Risto and ROR who will be rather tired. 4-2 Loss more than likely.

O'Reilly throwing players off him like a RB, good Beating a divisional team, better Eichel getting 2 points, awesome A win with MODO practically exploding, priceless For everything else there's MasterCard. MasterCard is the official credit card of the NHL....

At this point I can't see us winning anything ever regardless. Our teams are cursed to forever be mediocre and when we dare to try and break said trend we either are made worse by injuries or are screwed twelve ways to Christmas. I honestly feeling like punching a ####### wall after this game. We have to beat Toronto, I'd take a 5-77 record with wins against the ####### Leafs and still feel better. ####, ####, ####, ####!!!!! #### Bylsma should be drop kicked out the door, and Murray should be told if he doesn't fix this mess he'll be swimming with the ####### sharks, and I don't mean the team.

We have 2 Sabres teams, one that's very good, and another that sleepwalks. We need to kill off the latter so we get the good team all the time.

I hope your mother gets well

Bieksa has a NMC so I wouldn't take him in any trade, due to the whole protection thing with the expansion draft. I'd take Stoner though.

This makes us worse. Hamilton isn't a 1D where as Risto is becoming a 1D. All the rest is merely window dressing. Cups require a strong D, and this trade proposal makes us no closer to that goal.

pretzel, I have eaten one pretzel every time I go to the arena. Including the prospect games and the draft.

Beautiful, like the comeback win today!

That is Gorges. The tank teams did a number on him both physically and mentally and his knees have never been the same. Was a good trade regardless, MIN's 2nd we got in the Moulson deal if I remember correctly. He's a leader and a teacher, not so good as a player anymore but still not entirely useless. I'd honestly keep him as a 7th Dman if only Bylsma would stay with that. Then he could still be a locker room presence, and play a game occasionally and likely look a tad better due to the additional rest. But we all know he'll get 22 min again when he gets back and look burned out thanks to it.

It would vary which team, I'd tend to have a bias towards the immediate only because we could use it to buy a defenseman from MIN/ANA/OTT etc that's being exposed. Detroit and Vancouver I'd gun for either 1st

I believe we did give him an offer, he wanted to go to Calgary because the #1 job was up for grabs.

Some deadline deals if we continue to sputter. To BUF Duclair, A To ARI Girgensons, Z Struggling youth for struggling youth. To BUF Luff, M 2017 1st round pick (LAK) To LAK Kulikov, D ($2,100,000 retained) At about 49% retained, Kulikov should be able pick up a 1st, and maybe a random prospect. That is if he isn't injured the whole month of January. This 1st is vital, since we'd use it to snag one of the Wild or Ducks Dmen. To BUF 2017 2nd round pick (WSH) To MTL Franson, C ($1,600,000 retained) Franson's looked better this year, and at just short of 50% retention he should be able to pick up a 2nd/3rd

For Reinhart to be a center we would have to make a trade for a winger, for instance Girgs for Duclair or else we'd have a strong middle with mostly mediocrity on the wings. For example: Moulson-Eichel-Okposo Duclair-O'Reilly-Foligno Kane-Reinhart-Gionta Carrier-Larsson-Deslauries/Grant at very least we'd have enough potential scoring to run 3 lines.

I feel bad for Gorges, you can tell at times he still can play the game mentally but his body just isn't up to it any longer. Just think of the McDavid game, that takes defensive skill to pull off. His problem is he started as an average skater and passer and as he's aged and recovered from leg injuries his speed has become all but non-existent, thus preventing him from skating with the puck a little more thus forcing him to pass it more frequently thus exposing his passing inadequacies. If we can make him the 6-7 guy we can survive his final year of his contract. Franson has never had speed, but has offensive skill. Contract ends at the end of the year. That's fine. Bogo has either little hockey IQ yet a full tool belt, or is so injury riddled that needing pain tolerance has lessened his reaction speeds. Kulikov has been disappointing, he's everything Pysyk wasn't. Physical, more of a risk taker, puck carrier. But yet prone to stupidity at times and thus not terribly reliable. I get the sense that he's distanced himself from his more conservative play in Florida that he'd been worked into. He trying to do too much and it shows. If we are out of the hunt come Deadline day I'd see if I can swindle a team into giving us a 1st for Kulikov and maybe a 3rd for Franson

Me, I could use the money

Cute, could of been better if they actually sang it. Risto looked so awkward while Lehner looked like he might kill the cameraman. Oh don't forget Bogo hitting the microphone at the end.

*Throws Grenade*

1 year for 2mil or less sure.

I'm not only because 2 Sabres were on the scene immediately, Boychuck stayed on Eichel thus preventing any Sabres from actually going after him.

A win is a win no matter how but these games are always fun to watch. Eichel 3 pts And Risto with his quiet 2 additional points, its like he's some kind of point ninja sneaking in the background. Carrier at the end was certainly tripped, and he seemed to be hoping to hit Eichel to get him the hat trick too :(

We'd likely have a cash strapped mediocre Sabres team that never tanked and still holds to Vanek and company praying for something good to happen. And the Bills would be in Toronto, so while you may think he's a bad owner, at least we have an owner who will keep the teams here and with deep pockets to boot. :wallbash: Then what works exactly? Few FAs want to come here and there's very few in general. We averaged 9th before the tank, so effectively a non-playoff team that perpetually spun its wheels and couldn't improve because we middled it. We had two choices, stay the course and pray for a miracle or tank and at very least change the course in some regard.

It looks as if Darcy literally screwed up from 06 to 09 then had ok drafts from there. Zagrapan and Persson were his true screw ups, I'm not one to claim he should of known there were better players picked afterward, but 2 1st in a row that amounted to nothing..... that's downright sad. From there he seemed to hit one or two ok players and the rest were complete wastes. Ristolainen is the best guy he drafted since the 05-06 season, and he has little competition. Myers started great, Ennis started great but are injury happy and have sunk from their high points as rookies/2nd year guys.

Kane will be my favorite player if he'd shove his stick up Marchand's ass and then dances on his bleeding corpse. The refs gave the Bruins the game on that glove pass goal. Not even a review, yet they could kill our questionable goal and say no to it. Sad part was is had we actually showed up in the first we may still have won.So plenty of blame to go around.
