Not sure about punching him in the face, but you are not wrong about the situation. Same thing with Hendrickson obviously intentionally rolling into Josh Allen's leg.

Holy sh*t

Good two periods. That is all.

‘Pensive’ Nice!

I always appreciate your deep knowledge of prospects. For me, I was wondering if Spacek is related to former Sabre Jaro Spacek so I used the Google machine and it turns out it's his son! Therefore I support bringing him to Buffalo. Likewise, I like Jack Peart's name and when he scores a goal his song can be a Neil Peart drum solo.

How about send Mitts home to Minnesota for Marcus Foligno and a D prospect. I read Minnesota has a deep prospect pool at D, but I don't know enough to propose which one. Sabres could really use a guy like Foligno in my opinion. And, strangely enough, I heard from a good source he would be happy to come home. So he'd meet the "wants to be here" requirement.

My observation is that he prevents goals from being scored vs. the Sabres...the very thing they are weakest at.

And 2.6% chance to win the Cup! (yeah, right) 🙂

Yeah Casey! Trade him after the game…sell high.

The line that should have Asplund on it?

Agree, especially being a RHD. At least with Borgen, the Sabres were going to lose someone and it ended up being him, whereas they just about gave away McNabb for no readily explainable reason.

It pains me every time I see McNabb ably handling a 2nd pairing role on very solid teams in LA and now Vegas. For the past 7 years... Would love to get someone like him to pair with Power.

McDavid is being so selfish he also leads the league in assists...

Maybe 6 years ago my Mom won a Risto jersey in a charity auction. Not game worn, just a nice replica, white with classic logo. Was a perfect fit for me and I'm her Sabres-loving son...so I got it. 2023: Wear this in public, or not? My thinking is it needs to hibernate until Risto is retired a few years, the Sabres have won a Cup or two, and we can look back at those awful days and laugh.

A hole

Crouse is 6'4 220lbs. Couturier 6'3 211 lbs. Casey is 6'1, 199 lbs. I think big guys often take longer to develop. (See: Thompson, Tage). That may or may not be the case but if so, certainly doesn't apply to the very average sized Mittelstadt.

I'm going to the game with my wife and another couple, also from WNY originally. Based on my recent history of attending games in person this indicates the Sabres will be shutout tonight. However, this history predates:

If they win enough times in a row, their winning % will need to go to zero to hit 98 points.

Metaphor? It's called lying.

Sure, I am with you.

If they get a top 5 pick, even #1 or #2, I'd love to see it packaged for a legitimate star player who make a difference now as the existing prospects on the team and in the system come up. Some situation where a guy is disgruntled for whatever reason, or a team is up against the cap and needs to make a major move. Not these specific guys per se but a Rantanen, Barkov, Point level of player.

6th as they finish 4th from bottom but get bumped back 2 spots in the lottery

Well that’s discouraging. I’ve only seen them on the road in Pittsburgh, MSG, and Boston. Might have won one of two at MSG so I think I’m 1-3 on the road lifetime.

I sort of knew it when I bought the tickets but felt obligated as a Sabres fan living in Denver. Really it just shows I’m a fool.
