Y’all are nuts re: Greenway. He gave us the exact game he was brought in to give. He’s not an enforcer. He’s a big defensive forward that can put a few points on the board.
Cozens…… yeah, he had a disappointing season.

Too bad, “best in prospects “ is such a worthless thing to win.

OJ was an icon before he went nuts. Not gonna make excuses for him either.
Yet another example of Buffalo not being allowed good things.

I guess I get that people want every first overall pick to be McDavid ... or even Dahlin, but I really don't get the hate toward Power. He is good. He likely will be very good soon (assuming one does not think he is already) ... The Fox comparison numbers are great, @dudacek - and he is 26, while Mr. Number One Flow and person of @inkman's dreams is still just 22! I love Dahlin, but his 2nd year in the league and his age 21/22 season are not that much better than Power's.
The hate is really minimal. Folks can’t criticize without being labeled a hater. SMH
My only complaint is that he really works to avoid contact. Before anyone responds with something, something, Pronger, something. The vast majority of us mentioning his avoidance of contact are not expecting a banger. It’s simply that, were he to use his physical frame to wedge and trap guys along the boards or box out forwards in the front of the net, his play would improve even more. It’s such an obvious gap in his game.

4 goals and 2 assists over the same period of time for Skinner. Not good at all, for sure someone in the category of not 'stepping up' when the team needed him. But Skinner's 4 goals in 18 games over that time (18 goal pace, 1.16 goals per 60) is actually a LOT more productive than Cozens ((5 goal pace, 0.26 goals per 60) or Krebs (5 goal pace, 0.30 goals per 60).
Either way, take that moment (March 3) where they were in the best position all year as far as making the playoffs (other than the start of the season), playing their very best all year....where the next month was going to be the most critical month of upcoming games for this team wanting to make the playoffs (again, since the beginning of the year), and Thompson, Tuch, Peterka, Dahlin....they really stepped up and produced in that critical stretch. Skinner did not, but Krebs and Cousins REALLY did not. 1 goal in 18 games, hardly any assists, being overall minus player....they basically disappeared when the team need players to step up.
Hmmm…… really young guys wilting under pressure. Whoda thunk?

The irony of fan appreciation night occurring the game after they are eliminated from the playoffs for the 13th consecutive season.

For decades it's been a universal truth: When the Sabres skate hard and don't give up on the puck, they succeed. When they don't they fail. We've seen examples of it even this season, but not consistently enough to win... consistently.
I think it was time for Lindy to go the first time around, but I think he could up the Sabres game with the current roster.
We had fragile children with Lindy. No coach puts this team in the playoffs without a few veteran additions.

Hockey fan here but I’m not a hockey historian. Has any team won in the free agent era (or last 20-25 years) by building via the draft? Doesn’t seem like a good game plan when you’re drafting teenagers. As we’ve seen, the top tier competitive talent will want out before the newbies are ready to contribute at the NHL level.
Also since sports are driven by a “win now” philosophy (as demonstrated by coaching turnover) it would appear to devalue your prospect pool as how many GM’s want to wait 3-4 years for a guy to develop?
Every team wins or looses through their drafting efforts. Every team but Buffalo has recognized that it is important to have a solid base of good veterans to guide their young players.

I saw the length of Pimlach’s post and mistakenly assumed it was our resident AI bot.
The carriage returns should have been a dead giveaway.

So let me get this straight. I am supposed to believe a pretty smart guy like Pegula sees how successful the Bills have been when he isn't interfering but yet ignores that and tries to interfere every chance he gets with the Sabres?
Is that what I am supposed to believe based on your opinions?
I find that stretches the bounds of believability and credibility.
It’s not smarts to realize that you are the problem. It is self awareness. And most folks don’t have it sufficiently enough to recognize when they are the problem.

Do we take any solace watching the Flyers meltdown? That big Russian goalie is horrible. Talk about a free fall.
No solace whatsoever.
Hey, at least we’re not the Flyers? Is there any room whatsoever for that mindset? I don’t see any.

We’ve made so much progress that the team will have fewer points this year than last year.
You are what your record says you are. This team has not progressed.
It is still entirely possible that this seasons team does not eclipse the lofty totals Dan Bylsma oversaw.-

JFC I’ve been preaching this since we drafted Sam. This team has not sufficiently valued veterans since they tore down the team to start the Suffering.

Not bitter. Just an extension of my Because Buffalo disappointment.

Spain is projected to have better visibility for 2026. If you're really looking for a trip, Egypt in 2027 will be better in terms of length and visibility.
And probably cloud cover.

Ok, this is awesome. A story from the old days that I had not heard previously. Very cool.

Further on Parayko , he has received votes for the Lady Bing 4 times in his career. I can just imagine how Sabres Space will react to the 6-6 gentlemanly defenceman.
Owen Power’s ceiling?

The only experience here was a rapid darkness and then the rapid lightening.
The cloud cover was heavy, very threatening rain looking. Had a less than 30 sec look in a gap in the clouds when the sun was about 30% obscured. Thats it. Disappointing. Would have liked to see a show.
Oh well. Next time.
Nevermind.

Byram for Parayko?
I do not think we even should dream of getting B Tkachuk.
Byram is not the guy you move for Parayko. Byram is a win now and win later player. Think prospects.

Just once before I die.
Kinda like championship expectations around here.

T minus - 1hr and my locale is solidly blocked in with cloud cover.
Not optimistic that I will see much of a show.

Have you not learned the lesson that you can’t have a team full of kids? Murray did the right thing, but he chose ***** players for the plan.
