I'd take 3.5 years of Bryan Rust for ages 32-35. Guy is a gamer. Sabres have so few like that.

Owen Power is working up the courage to give guys a nasty glare.

Yeah, same two posters didn't understand the ironic humor of my prior post either.

The Sabres should not sign anyone dumb enough to want to play for them.

Great win! I didn’t watch it. Just looked in the standings and they’re only 2 points out of 15th in the conference, albeit giving up a game in hand. Still, it’s exciting.

Nah. It will involve Jason Zucker for picks or a prospect.

100% this. Watching Owen Power in a Sabres uniform makes me ill at this point. Trade him while they can.

I was at the game tonight because of free tickets. Good seats. It was of course an exciting game and the energy in the building (18k sellout, no empty seats on a Thursday for a non-conference opponent) was intense. I was sitting next to another long time Sabres fan and we were telling our wives and some nearby Avs fans how the game would go once they got up 2 goals. We predicted they'd have a 2-goal lead in the 3rd and the Avs would tie it late and win early in the OT. As it played out people kept looking at us in increasing amazement. We just smiled in silent resignation. As the game hit the last few minutes the pucker-factor on the Sabres was evident in their faces and their passive play. This is the most sorry-ass, gutless bunch of losers I've ever seen in Buffalo sports over the past 4+ decades. I haven't watched more than a few minutes on TV the past 10 games or so and don't plan on watching any more than that the rest of the season.

It's tough getting older. No need to point out that Rhett Warrener isn't aging well. That's just mean.

Conn Smythe winner in Seattle?

Power is almost the anti-Risto. Risto: Fast skater, played a physical game, could play some defense at times, complete lack of hockey sense and limited offensive skills. Power: Slow skater, plays the least physical game possible, plays limited, if any defense, decent hockey sense and strong offensive skills.

But now you're sad, your mama's mad And your papa says he knows that I don't have any money

Yes, but isn’t ‘Kazem’ quite a bit cooler?

I want them to lose every single game until Adams is fired and/or Pegula sells the team. I have never seen a less likable team.

It’s almost like they don’t even care in the shootout

Sub-par performance for extended periods of time is not tolerated in Colorado.

My new policy of not watching this team play hockey paid off big time tonight. It's been almost 50 years of fandom and they finally broke me.
