  1. Worse game under Granato? I’m sure there has have been other clunkers but this has the feel of a game from before he was coach
  2. Maybe the first shot against UPL in a game shouldn’t be a grade A opportunity against from now on?
  3. i dont care if its last or 2nd last. Dont want 3rd last because you are then 4th in the lottery with Seattle being #3.
  4. I agree. Ideally he is the 4th line winger. But with their current roster I have him slotted higher. Basically to balance the lines I like Asplund on his current line Think they have good chemistry
  5. I don’t like VO and R2 on the same line. Figured KO would be the one going into the corners. Bjork can play Center ?
  6. I like Cozens at Center. You want the puck on his stick to enter the zone and to be attacking with speed skinner. eichel, Samson R2 , Cozens, Okposo asplund, Mitts, Tage VO , Girgenson, Bjork Quinn and some decent low cost vets to fill the reserves and Amerks I want them to keep as much cap space as possible. ONly spending enough to ensure 2 capable NHL goaltenders. Maybe add a winger during the season, finally being buyers and using draft picks to acquire.
  7. Eklund made his debut for the men’s national team today and pulled off one of the best passes I’ve ever seen
  8. Sorry. I wasn’t clear. I was trying to agree with your post , adding substance
  9. We would much rather be a mediocre team with literally no chance of winning the cup, but we will fight tooth an nail for the 8th and final playoff spot.
  10. if you think they are tanking, how would you explain Eakin and Irwin in the Press Box?
  11. I used to be a huge tank guy and I want to see them win, I’m skeptical that’s there are many that want to see them lose
  12. Some Clarke love from Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects ”I’m not sure we can even have the debate anymore. Brandt Clarke is clearly the highest IQ defender in this crop. If he can tidy up the stride to add more pop from a stop then the upside will be the highest as well.” RHD I should add! So rank I’ll rank him above all the LHD on my “hope the Sabres draft” list
  13. Is there even one fan out there cheering from them to lose? The reality of the situation is that they can improve and even win a few games, while still finishing at the bottom. No harm in hoping the Devils and Ducks win a few games too.
  14. Yes if it gets close and they want to ensure they don’t move higher than 30th... 2nd best odds. They can always play the Hutton card
  15. Big save and big favour by former Sabres Tennyson with about 2 mins left in game
  16. Can we trade this guy already? Need more guys who play the “right” way!!
  17. 6 weeks ago we would be doing cartwheels over this, now I’m really going to miss watching them
  18. Samson on pace for 37 goals over an 82 game season. Don’t let anyone trivialize him as just a 20 goal scorer.
  19. The Zibanejab line killed them Otherwise the the Sabres were the better team statistically Actually , 5 on 5 the Sabres actually had a better XGF.
  20. If NY was smart they’d take another penalty and make the Sabres play 6-3 again
  21. unless McCabe signs for 1 year, Time to move on IMHO
  22. Brutal penalty to take
  23. If you ranked the goalies that have played in games involving the Sabres this year would it be unreasonable to think the the bottom 3 would be Tokaraski, Johansson and Hutton?
  24. Though I’m probably overthinking it. even at 5, one of Beniers, Guenther or Eklund will probably still be on the board
  25. Sabres already have a franchise LHD. That’s my only concern
