Mustache of God

I really, really, really want to see them not come out flat on this road trip. The game vs COL will be a huge statement. Are they the same old Sabres or are we actually starting to turn a corner?

He just wants to make that one guy throw up on himself with a cup ring.

Skinner needs to get on a goal streak and the deadline acquisitions need to contribute. If those two things happen, then maybe.

Kid played in Germany for four years and Ralph is German? I get the feeling European players really like him, so I'm guessing it'll be a good fit based on my blanket stereotype that Ralph works well with euros

I woke up today thinking we'd trade away some of our UFAs for 2021 mid-round picks, so I'm pleasantly surprised. I give Botteril a B+ for simply not tying his shoes together and falling over. This next run of games are crucial. My gut says we'll shoot ourselves in the foot and drop the next three, but, maybe we can get some Krueger magic, or maybe Skinner can not go another 20 goalless games and maybe we keep things interesting into March.

I've been saying for a long time that as long as EROD is on the Sabres they will not be a playoff caliber team. Today puts them one step closer to fielding a roster with more NHL caliber talent. Now that he's off the team, I couldn't care less about how far the team he's on goes into the playoffs. I find it weird people take things that seriously to get worked up about. Also Pitt is not winning the cup.

After the deadline the following forwards are UFAS: Frolik 4.3 M Simmonds 2.5M Vesey 2.275M Girgensons 1.6M Larsson 1.55 M I'd only be interested in re-signing Larsson but if I'm him, I'd explore my options in FA. JNOT has work to do this summer, to replace these guys and also find a a center.

Is there a press conference scheduled for today?

This is not how the lines will look. Bailey for Leier?

So we moved out Sheary & EROD and brought in Kahun & Simmonds? Certainly didn't downgrade the roster.

Dominick ka-who?

He's not done yet. Based on past deadlines we'll get to 3pm and 10-15 minutes later we'll get a report someone was traded for a 6th round pick and then we'll get a press conference from Botts saying it's hard to be a GM / he likes what Simmonds will bring to help the playoff push.

I like this move as long as there's more trades coming.

The analytics department is underfunded because the team has sunk all it's funds when they merged the Phrenlogy & Astrology departments into Pegual's "Cranial-Zodiac Department of Selecting Players Good At Hockey".

Local Sabres Fan trades coping mechanism for moral salvation. 69% salary retained.

It's possible FLA wouldn't want to trade with us since we're in direct competition with them for last spot in the division.

Do we think now that Skinner scored one he might now "turn it on", so to speak? A hot Skinner would be instrumental in a last ditch attempt at making a run to be close to the post season.

This is exactly what this team has been missing.

My hockey team has a playoff game at 4 today, so I'll catch the first via radio.com biking to the rink and will be hoping for two big wins today. The only game I've been able to watch I. The past two weeks was the ottowa game so I'm comfortable missing out if it brings a win. Ga sabres.

6 if we win

Here's how I could see it playing out next season, but I think or hope to god actual trades are made so it doesn't look like this. I'm always intrigued by a 3rd line of supposedly up and coming players so I'd be intrigued by a Cozes, Cases, Tagger line but I'm also sure they'd get their heads caved in. Maybe.

Hutton is soooooo bad. even before the goal avalanche he was giving up the juiciest of rebounds.

A Skinner renaissance is what we need to see tonight. If we are going to make a push he'll need to be a part of it.

Lol, these injuires. Had no idea there was a game today. Will have the headphones in while i bike to hockey in an hour. Go Sabres?

I've actually considered to start sports gambling and just betting against the sabres for the rest of the season.
