That bag of pucks we got in exchange for him will sure come in handy. Tim Murray was the worst GM in Sabre history

Tampa's defense is great. Top to bottom they are so solid. Worlds ahead of the Sabres. Makes me think we are five or six years away from being good

We are getting deeper each season now at D and Bealieu might just be the odd man out. I like him but not sure that he is doing what I hoped he would. No offensive output, not great on defense and just does not make us better

Ha ha!! Beat me too it!

Lol

Keep him. Add more talent around him. We don't need any more trades, seems like we get fleeced all the time.

Ha ha!! Right on! I wipe my butt on a blue collar shirt in honor of this post! Talent is white collar I guess? Talent and hard work win, not just hard work. Josh Gorgerous worked hard, but he ain't not Alex Mogilney

Well I hope they all win it

Bailey Baptiste Beaulieu The three B's :angel:

Caps show how deep you have to be to win.

That's it for the pens

Would have helped if the team scored goals. The goaltending needs to improve, but so does the PP, second, third and fourth line scoring, getting scoring from the defense and better defensive play.

I want to see that handshake today!!

I'd be surprised if Pittsburg doesn't force a game seven. And that game seven will be fun to watch

Sounds good! Cheers to Holzinger! And he got run out of town by fans and media. Sad, I think. He had some tough luck in the playoffs but was such a talented player. He was the perfect compliment to LaFontan and Mogilney

Big shot blocker, too. Took one in the face once and knocked some teeth out and I think he came right back. That's when, if I remember, Dudley was coach, and he callled out the rest of the team for not living up to that level of commitment Holzinger?? You have given into the dark side! Lol. Was Michael Grochek number four on your list?

1 Mike Ramsey for sure. What a great person and hockey player 2 Pat LaFontaine 3 Bob Sauve I liked Hasek, but I have to say that was the most boring era of hockey to watch. 1-0 games are ok but not every freaking night. He was the best Sabre, and probably best athlete in Buffalo history

He will have more points next year than Samson had this year* *My prediction

No? I've already moved him into the GREAT category. JVR is a UFA, right? So they lose him Bailey and Baptist also

The tv announcers back up the refs calls. I'm cool with that.

Tough for Nashville with the penalties. But they did take them

Exactly. He probably would only come here if we overpay

It's also just nice to know the management understands the need to improve at D and is out there hustling for talent. Even if he does not work out I like the effort

Beaulieu will be in the mix. I know many hate him here but no way you give up on him. He does a lot of good things and isn't so old that he can't improve. I was disappointed in him last year, too, but he should be given as much of a chance as Bogo and Antipin. Even if he is just for depth, he is still part of the team.

Watching Brayden McNabb last night reminded me of why you never trade good defenseman.
