Mustache of God

Dahlin will need to break 50 points to have a shot...but at the end of the day goals are sexy and sex sells, so Peterson will take home the hardware.

Last game before an 11 day hiatus where we'll have nothing to discuss around here except some advanced stats and the Justin Bailey trade, so let's make this a good one. A win tonight sets us up for a mid-season push to reestablish ourselves in the Wild Card race. I recall a few years ago, under HCDDB, when we came out of the mandatory break, well rested against a bottom feeder team, a win would have put us just close to competing for a playoff spot and we laid an egg and then went on a protracted losing streak which shut the door on the season. I'm hoping for the opposite of that this year. Here's to Jack having a strong game, Skinner putting another up and a solid victory.

What do advanced stats say about this trade?

It's why he would have been drafted 1st in any other draft if not for that pesky McDavid

I promise you Jack has worked on that shot hundreds of thousands of times in his life. That wasn't luck. That was pure muscle memory, which is a well honed skill, which is essentially the force.

What year is it?

Only if it was a sign & trade but that goes against the conditions of your original statement, so no flippin' way.

This team needs to get out of this free-fall in the standings. It can start tonight with a win, and a win in Vancouver. The Sabres of the past decade or so were incapable of any kind of winning streak. I don't think I'll ever like Housley as a coach, but i was willing to live with him the way they were playing in November. If the rest of the season plays out the way December onwards has gone then he better be on the hot-seat as this type of play should be unacceptable.

That movie is a classic. Walther Matheuw (sp?), Christopher Llloyd as the creep, and probably other people.

Just remember who delivered one of those losses to them. But yeah...that team is good.

Let's end 2018 on a high note. let's go buffalo!

Hell, I'll believe in anything if it helps us out more pucks in the nets than the other guys.

This is my annual home game mecca, they better win tonight.

Berglund won't be filing a grievance, he doesn't want to be here. I'm basing this assumption off of the Lehner story, about how involved and accommodating JBOTs was during that entire process. If Berglund had personal issues that needed his attention, Botteril would have worked with him.

There are so many questions for 2C on this team. I promise the answer is not Sobotka. I hope the Eichel line is ready to go because I'm not confident the bottom 3 will score.

Leino was sooooo bad. Holy *****.

You say potato I also say potato

I'd rather sign Duchene in FA than sign P kane

I think this is great. We dumped the cap dump of the trade. If you think he was under-performing this year, imagine that 3 years older. No thanks. This either opens up a spot to give a rochester prospect a shot or forces JBOT to go out and make a move to bring in more center depth, which i trust him to not ***** up. This makes the Sabres better in the not-too-distant future.

How much of a raise is skinner really due? 3 million? signing him won't be an issue for us.

There is no chance that anyone is going to give him that money & term at his age considering his recent production. I understand why he would have had Buffalo on his No Trade list in the off-season, but this team is playoff bound this year and has, from what i've heard, great ownership. What a selfish player. Good riddance.

What happned with Kozlov and Gilmour?

Sounds like Berglund lost his love of the game. Is everything ROR touches tainted?

In my opinion, the GM was doing what was best for his team. Hockey is a business and that side can be ugly. If anyone is a piece of doodie it's clearly Bergland's agent for dropping the ball on submitting his no-trade list. Anyways, good riddance. When the ROR trade happened, his contract had me worried because of the length. Problem solved. This opens a spot for a kid to make an impression.
