No, when Bryson played they lost games .371 winning % on the year with him in the lineup I might have this wrong but I believe down the stretch (before the last game ) 8-1-1 without Bryson 0-5 with him

Out of curiosity, I see a lot that people's numbers are better with Dahlin as their partner but haven't seen Dahlins numbers with each partner does anyone have this info? if it turns out to be Bryson, I will never trust analytics again! lol

In what world is Bryson considered "good"? Mostly good points but Kulich was groomed to be a centre

My god I hated the answer on why Bryson was signed. maybe having a team full of guys that are well liked in the dressing room isn't the way to go.

As they are now. No BUT if they add 2 good defencemen (3 if they trade Byram) One being a legit top 4 RHD AND don't have Bryson in the top 8. Plus they get at least avg goaltending. then yes I do believe they make it

I'll be hoping they lose, especially if Seattle wins tonight

Season ended for me tonight. Luckily have plans on Thursday. gonna put the Sabres out of mind till either a trade is made or the draft enjoy playoff hockey (if you decide to watch)

They should save Dahlin and Tage the pain in playing in the season finale have to feel sorry them

That should be Lafferty's last shift of the game. give Östlund and Rosen someone with some skill to play with

Lucky. I get the TSN leaf love in on TSN though O-dog and Bob McKenzie had Marner signing with the Leafs at less than 40%.

Yes. One of the few that I would never question his effort or care

Heard Kris Baker mention it and just did the Math without Bryson in their lineup since March 20th sabres 8-1-1 with Bryson 0-4 Overall they have a winning % of .371 with him playing that's more than a coincidence right? Or just one of those weird stats? I think you could say the same for the other 30 teams. Hands of stone besides blocking shots, what does he do for you? I don't understand how a guy who is willing to block shots , doesn't have the courage or the heart to stick up for teammates?

Can we just default into the offseason? Has there been one hit all game by either team?

I'll ask again after that shift. Is Bryson the worst defender the Sabres have had over the 14 years ?

Interesting way to think about it. Of course , they are still bound by a salary cap that included $9mill for Norris, $8m for Power.

Not sure where to put this but since he will be replacing Power tonigt I will ask. "Is Bryson the worst defender the Sabres have dressed since the tank years?"

10-15? That's 10-15 too many in my book

I agree there.

I would have no issue with that Center Spine. Could it be better.... yes but it's still more than good enough to make the playoffs. The main issues are D and Goaltending

With Bryson in the lineup they are 13-23-5 31 points out of a possible 82 A .378 winning percentage

Well that was ugly.

That 4th goal was another goal that the Sabres had on their stick 5 seconds before it goes into their net 9 out of 10 times , it's seems it the same culprits. nice attempt to play goalie for Samuelsson there for reason 🤦‍♂️

Hopefully this shows that they can't rely on a 38 year Riemer to be the answer for next year after his 10 game hot steak. Even Hutton and Comrie had hot steaks that ended very quickly and badly for both

When you start thinking that Quinn maybe isn't here for the long term, he does something special really hope he can have a good off season and find someone consistency next year You don't think there is a pretty good chance that Clifton with those silky mitts of his flips it over the net? Or just misses the puck all together ?

Reimer makes a miraculous save off of Bryson why on gods green earth did they resign him for next year ? Makes zero sense
