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

Chychrun is the easy answer better D, less grade A chances against and they will find out what they have in Comrie I don’t know if this stat exists but I bet Comrie, Anderson and even UPL have pretty good stats when Niether Bryson or Pilut are on the ice. Especially at even strength

The first 30 mins against the kings they had 6 shots on net. Lucky they got a 5 on 3 and scored which made the kings open up a bit, which allowed the Sabres to skate Id love for people who are saying he needs to bring in a new goalie give us an example of who they should target And how much are you going to give up , knowing Comrie will be back soon enough

This is sooooo wrong. Lack of depth on d is the primary reason

I’m with you, they need a streak of 10 wins in 12 or something similar. Hopefully they can put one together soon. Just not holding my breath that it will happen

Levi is watching closely. Trading for Demko could make him rethink signing. I wouldn’t do a thing, if I was GMKA, with the goaltending before Levi signs I would however , find another nhl level Dman immediately

If you don’t skate like Quinn Hughes and you are under 6’0. I don’t need you as a Dman on my team

And size. I’ll have to look it up but he looks a lot bigger than Bryson

Have to think Bryson sits when / if they can get Joker or Lyubushkin back. Pilut to Rochester, never to be seen again

Wonder what the Sabres record are in these sleepy Mon / Tues night games at home ? reminds me of the Arizona game

2 points Canadians , 2 points Penguins, 2 points Rangers, not to mention 2 points Senators. unless the Sabres have a run of winning 9 or 10 games in 12, I wouldn’t even bother looking at the standings getting 0 points in 8 games, likely did the season in

I’m sure this has been mentioned but he also tried to trade for Matt Murray as well. Who seems to be doing his best Jack Campbell impression for the leafs. Hopefully, he falls apart in the 2nd half just as Campbell did last year

Wouldn’t he be playing in front of another tire fire if 2 or 3 of Bryson, Pilut, fitz and or Clague playing in front of him ? ill add, that I’m not adding any goalie who isn’t an UFA at the end of the year until I have Levi signed, sealed and delivered

Don’t agree Playing 2/3 AHL level Dmen each night is killing them. even if you are right. It’s the goaltending, not the D. Who the heck is available for them to trade for ? with the news that horvat turned down the Canucks latest offer, it could increase the odds of them trading Demko. Then again, it’s not like he lit the world on fire so far this year
