We've got your back. Unless you need a place to stay tonight. :)

ROR is a leader. The skill players are leading this team. They just need to fix the defense. We knew that. The big difference this year is that the coach isn't playing to not lose.

That's clearly shoving Risto into the GT.

It's time for Jack to put his name into the best player conversation on NHL Network. He needs you win this for his team.

Khudobin is the kind of goalie Jack should destroy with his wrist shot. Time to pick a corner 15.

Watch that work by ROR and tell me he's not a leader. This team needs confidence and he just went out there and outworked the Bruins.

Neither is turning around a hockey team when you know you should be better than how you are playing.

McCabe led the team in TOI in the first. I think the trade for D is coming soon.

How many more points have they earned? Yep. With that world class goalie too. The Sabres just aren't the worst. Second worst maybe. But right now Montreal is worse.

Careful, some things don't react well to bullets.

Well, watch Montreal.

I disagree. The Sabres are seen as a mess and he's out there flying as he has been scoring. I think some GM will think he'd be a good fit into their speed game.

Does anyone think that Kane is with Eichel to try and increase his trade value? Montreal is the worst team in the league.

However the Sabres player held his line and the Bruin skated into him.

Well, at least the Carubba Collision will be legitimate this time.

That's a pretty lame interference call. The D doesn't have to get out of the way.

You don't put the prep in prior to posting. You can't just show up and expect to create a good post.

I think this team is a reflection of its fans.

I love the Buffalo fans who show up to the game. They are way better than those who only complain about the team on a forum. Go Sabres Fans!

I love this game. I get to listen to RJ. And Lehner is entertaining.

Wes McCauley is the ref. Maybe we can get a killer penalty call. So you know game on.

It's cool stuff that I think you are just beginning to scratch the surface on. Keep it up.

The media creates controversy to grab eyeballs. Hamilton is wrong on Ristolainen, pure and simple. I have no concern and regardless of this year (where everything is still coming together) I've seen enough out of Ristolainen to believe he's going to be extremely good for a long time. I think, at times, hes actually trying to play TOO physical and not smart enough. It'll come... the underlying skill set is there.

And still managed to salvage an OTL. Technically they are 1-4-2 which, while not great, is better than 1-6 and puts them tied with NYR and above MTL and ARZ. Tack onto that three of their losses are against teams that are in the top 6 in the standings (NJ, LAK, VEG) and the picture changes even more. Now, take into consideration that they gave up 3 PP goals to the Kings which is actually uncharacteristic for the team. So is it really that bad?

Well, he's not lighting it up right now. So why not? I am sure there are a lot of reasons. At this point, with the way the Sabres are performing I am not sure I would pencil in anyone for any position definitively.
