Mustache of God

Skinner and tuch both -3 so far, tage -2. Not the stats you want to see from line #1

I really hope the Sabres win tonight.

We also have 4 picks slated for the first two rounds in this draft (one first, three second rounders) which will add to the above. One of Adams biggest challenges in the upcoming future will be identifying prospects who he doesn't think with cut it and use them as trade material before other teams catch on. There's no way everyone pans out, but there's also not enough space for even a portion of them, so decisions will have to be made.

Not necessarily. This doesn't take into account own-goals and disallowed goals.

The Mitts-Krebs-Quinn line looked really good last game. I wouldn't want to break that up.

The question is how many Norris trophies will Dahlin win before Power wins one?

Islanders vs Pens tonight, who do we root for? Both have 63 points but Pitt has 55 gp vs 59 for the Isles. Does that mean we root for Pitt as it's easier for us to catch the Isles?

Between this upcoming draft and the previous two, the Sabres are slotted to have 12 selections between rounds 1 & 2, I'm really hoping that Adams uses a some of this collateral to improve the defense on this team to help them now, specifically the defense which I think is the lowest hanging fruit for him. Based upon listening to Adams speak I don't see him trading for a UFA rental, which I'm fine with although I'd hate to have this limit his options considering we do have capital to bring someone in. Defense - Find someone to replace Clague or Byrson and bring in additional depth. A second round pick and a low-tier prospect should be able to land a solid defensive d-man and then maybe bring in another depth piece. Offense - unless he swings for a huge deal to land a Meier type player, someone young and with term, I don't see any trades being made to the forwards. We're getting offense, it's the defensive side that needs an upgrade. Goaltending - I can't see any scenario where goalies will be part of a trade for us (unless Portillo's rights are tossed into a trade). We already have 3 goalies on the roster - so you'd have to move at least one. UPL isn't going anywhere and, based upon GMKA's pressers, there's no way he'd trade the veteran Anderson unless he requested a trade, but what team is going to have a 41 year old be their backup? Trading Comrie makes no sense for Adam's plan either. I fully expect next season to be UPL / Comrie.

Hopefully the Sabres broke their 2nd period curse with Krebs scoring to stop the bleeding after giving up 3. Hopefully they can build some confidence against the Sharks because the better teams coming up won't let off the throttle in those situations.

Nice set up by tuch on the cozens goal

Best second period goaltending I've seen in the past three games.

I'd like to see a buddy cop movie starring Judge Judy and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Hopefully tonight kicks off a 12 game win streak.

These lines make a load more sense over whatever the hell we saw yesterday.

You have to pull Anderson, right?

Why am I not sleeping?

3 power plays. Zero shots, one goal against. Woof.

This is embarrassing.

Ugh?

Puck looks like it's sticking to the LA blue line or something.

I'm really confused about Comrie's usage, or lack thereof. He had bad numbers when half our defense was out and then got injured. Now that's he's back he's had, what, two games? This is the guy you supposedly targeted in free agency. It's a weird message to say "we only want to bring in people who want to be here" and then not give them a chance.

Need to not lose 3 in a row. Please win.

The Sabres are my favorite sports franchise - mostly because I grew up in the Buffalo area and as a kid my favorite sport was street hockey (and I also started playing ice hockey in my late 20s). I also like the bills but find it exhausting trying to keep up with everything that goes on with the team. The primary reason I visit this site is to kill time during the work day. The secondary reason is to stay on top of all the happenings of the team.

I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
