Yes , JJ and Quinn won’t be rookies any longer Kulich will have played 2 years of pro hockey and Savoie may be ready to step straight into the NHL. Hopefully he will otherwise he has to go back to WHL (I think ) But I’m also not giving anyone roster spots, they have to earn them.

All of them suffered by being on the Sabres too early. the Sabres failed them as much as they failed the Sabres

I’m at 75% that either Savoie or Kulich will be ready 55% both will be ready

Huge factor is what they think of Kulich and Savoie if they think they are both NHL players next year, I’d be very surprised if anything but a 4th line replacement for Okposo is picked up in the off-season The line_up would pretty well be set Tage Skinner Tuch Cozens Peterka Quinn Savoie Jost Kulich Girgs Krebs UFA

We can debate all we want between Dahlin and Thompson but no matter which way you rank them #3 on the list has to be Samuelsson. think their record is 13-4-2 with him in the lineup Im still dreaming of a line up that includes Chychrun dahlin Samuelsson Power Henri Chychrun Lyubushkin That’s a D that can win you a Stanley cup

Please yell that so everyone can hear it!!!

3 good games in a row over the last 3 games he has stopped 108 of 115 shots. .940% over that time the last 2 have been phenomenal not just good

Definitely need Power back, though Credit to Pilut. He had a really good game tonight.

Lazy???? The kid has been playing almost 30 mins a night for the last week. I seriously doubt there is any laziness to his game

I thought Dahlin looked tired tonight However, what a warrior playing the last 3 minutes straight rest up Dahls , one more game and get a nice break over Christmas

You are on my idiotic post list.

Or just spend their life’s crusty cause someone keeps peeing in theirs?

I wonder if people just watch the Sabres to complain about players they don’t like ? 🤷‍♂️

Islanders get a point. Losing 1-0 in a shoot out I will say this , isles have one hell of a goalie

Scoreboard was looking for there for 2 mins. Det up 2-0 vs washings (don’t want a 3 point game) and Bos up 4-0 vs Florida but things change quick in NHL these days

So I’m surrounded by leaf fans here in Burlington (half an hour outside Toronto). they scoff at me when I say “ Right now, Tage is the best player born in Arizona”. Of course they have 60 goals and the heart to fall back on but I believe Tage is having a better season they always argue. “ sure but no gm would trade Matthews for Tage straight up” I say , a smart GM would. 2 years of Matthews at $11 mill vs $7 mill for 7 years for Tage what do you think. Is there anyone who would trade for Matthews right now if the cost was Tage?

Brawndo by a Billion!!

Can you remind me. Who traded Risto and got the 14 overall pick for him?

Any word on Power? If he is out for more than a few days, we have reached condition critical. Not the best time to make a trade but something has to happen there is no way you can keep your head above water if your D is Bryson, Pilut, Clague, Fitz, Samuelsson and Dahlin. And god forbid someone else gets hurt -I can’t imagine who’s next in line Clague looked uncomfortable after that hit last night, he could have to miss a couple of games

Yes! Now I remember - TVs only went to 12 and then you had that U channel for the antenna. I remember trying to get a clear picture using pop cans. Tryin GB to get the signal from Buffalo all the way to Burlington

Adams needs to be on the phone tonight with ‘zona. What will it take to bring Chrychrun with them after the game on Saturday

Wait! No Power or Bryson?? so Pilut, Fitz, Clague are 3 of the 5 Dman and people still think goalie is the most pressing need of this team 🤷‍♂️

This is not happening. Top guys are all forwards its possible the first Dman doesn’t go until pick 20

i think me and him should be buddies I’m from South western Ontario and I just noticed that we were both born in 69. I could pick up games on the radio and remember they were on tv once and awhile. Want to say it was on Chanel 2? Ed Kilgore maybe? though I still care about wins and losses … maybe too much oh and I’ve been a big JJ guy. Since the world juniors. He just has “it”

Just saw the Pilut was practicing in the bottom pair with Fitz. probably the most I’ve ever hoped that Bryson can play! looking forward to the day Pilut is in Rochester and Bryson is in the press box
