Mustache of God

I agree, not putting the stadium downtown is a poor decision for the future of Buffalo. Imagine if it went in the area of the old central terminal, and eventually built up the rail infrastructure to bring people in/out for game days. Yes, it'd be way more expensive and would take years upon year to complete, but it was radically transform that area of the city and I'd support any amount of public money being used to revitalize an economically depressed area. Instead we're giving welfare handouts to the Pegulas to keep their status quo alive in Orchard Park.

Same, I had already moved on and then after the presser I've wanted nothing more than to see him miss the playoffs on his new team.

I gotta believe next year's biggest jump will be Mitts, he seems to be following Tage's footsteps. Last season was supposed to be the "show me" year for Tage but I think he got injured his first game up and really didn't get much ice time. Then he comes in this year and his production exploded. I can see the same trajectory for Casey, this was supposed to be a big year for him, but game 1 he got injured and missed a whole lot of time. Next year he'll be our Thompson and we'll be happy to have it. Hopefully he'll have more skill on his wings as well.

Would have preferred power to score there.

I also bet on power putting one in tonight. I'm 1/2 on my shots so far...

I am the reincarnation of Keith Moon.

I'd want him as our extra forward/someone who can plug into the lineup when injuries hit. Other than that I don't see room on the roster for him with Quinn and JJ in the wings.

I think we can all agree the Craig Anderson experiment is over. There is zero chance him or tokarski will be on this team next year.

Nailed it!

ITs KOs birthday and he's a goal away from 20. I'm so sure he's scoring tonight I just put $10 on that.

Lol, google apparently didn't understand my request. I still hope whoever we pick is the next Jagr.

Just wait until that 5th round pick we got for him becomes like these guys: Top 10 NHL Draft Picks at Fifth Overall Ryan Whitney | Penguins 2002 Elias Lindholm | Carolina Hurricanes, 2013. ... Brayden Schenn | LA Kings, 2009. ... Elias Pettersson | Vancouver Canucks, 2017. ... Carey Price | Montreal Canadiens, 2005. ... Blake Wheeler | Phoenix Coyotes, 2004. ... Phil Kessel | Boston Bruins, 2006. ... Bill Guerin | Devils 1987 Scott Stevens | Washington Capitals, 1982. Jaromir Jagr | Penguins 1990

I actually appreciate the concept of the concept here on this board.

If there were three words I could choose to be permanently banned from Sabrespace they would be: Sobotka, Berglund, and engorged. I predict Power gets his first point tonight but also makes his first gaffe.

I've been on the fence about Asplund all year wondering if we should try to move him but I've cooled on that somewhat. I recognize he has a lot of value with his defensive game but he's also a black hole of scoring and he has to learn how to finish even a small percentage of his chances. He's been playing with mittlestat, who is a set-up man and I've seen him miss on so many chances. If Mitts is playing with a finisher we'd be putting more pucks in the net. I'm hoping that next year with Quinn and JJ and maybe some other acquisition he'll move to center GIrgensons & Okposo (replace Eakin). On a good team, he should be on a 4th line shutdown role. As mentioned above, if he could learn to get better at faceoffs that would really help to round out his game. I'd take Cirelli over Asplund any day:

I've said it other threads but I think the next thing Dahlin needs to work on is his shot/release. It always comes off his stick like a muffin. If he can learn to shoot faster with more accuracy the sky will be the limit.

I really hope we play Toronto in the first round of the playoffs next year.

I'm a little disappointed that power didn't score 7 but I'll settle for the win.

Lol, suck it Toronto

THE ASSMAN COMETH!

THE ASSMAN COMETH

KO CLOSING IN ON 20

Does Owen Power have the best name of any Sabre ever? edit: besides Satan.

Will we see Power on the Power Play?
