Bogo is righty also.

Is there a breakdown of Ristos corsi numbers for the first 41 games of the season only?

Welcome to the Me2 movement

With the current status of the Sabres could Skinner be waiting to see who is hired as coach before he signs here or elects FA? Did he not sign earlier in the year because he wasn't a Housley fan? Whatever the case, hope he signs here.

I think he maybe targeting Keefe and Martin is just a filler to make it look like he is doing something.

What was the end result of Eakins cross check?

If there is no cross check Pavelski doesnt go off balance or leave his skates. Eakin started it and Stastny finished him off. The end result of the cross check was a head injury.

If Eakin doesnt cross check him to go off balance Stastny doesnt push him down. So the cross check started the incident, correct call IMO.

That's what I seen also, a cross check to the face/head and that caused him to go down awkwardly.

Wow

Holy cow SJ just tied it

Yet some would rather keep this guy opposed to Risto who is never hurt, younger, cheaper, plays 25 minutes a night, and will even get you 40+ points, smh!

Trotz, Laviolette, Torts, Richards vs Housley, Bylsma, Rolston, Nolan. IMO, coach quality has made a huge difference. 30 other teams would take Risto in a heartbeat and here in Buffalo fans cant wait to get rid of good players. SMDH!

Yes, he needs to get a lot stronger but he's fast as hell on skates.

To add to this, I think Risto sees the coach, former trash coaches also as having poor gameplans, poor system, just poor coaching and checks out sooner than the others. Would love to see this guy with some good coaching. I think he would flourish on another team with a decent coach and that's why I wouldn't want to trade him.

Does Lindy still live in Buffalo?

Yeah me too, JBots must have made his mind up awhile ago.

Does this mean Skinner stays now?

As it sits right now I would not have Thompson in my top 6 maybe not my top 9, and he's definitely not a 4th line guy. Don't think it will change much starting training camp, I would try and trade him. Will be 22 a month into the season with over 100 gm played, trade him for something.

I kind of hope JBots includes Tage in a trade this offseason for a C2. 21pts in 106 games, never really lit it up in junior/minors anything, going to be 22 in Oct. I'll take my chances and move on, IMO Tage isn't going to amount to anything.

I read that as him signing and remaining a Sabre will sort itself out, and no, that door isn't closed at all.

Would love to be a fly on the wall for the exit interviews with the players who also played in Rochester for Taylor.

Buffalo has 26 ROW tied with NJ and LA and second worst to NYR (25). They had 18 ROW on Dec 23. 37 games into the season, only 8 in the last 42 games. I don't know how Phil is not fired.

FWIW, Pommer would be tied for 4th in goals if he were still on Minnesota. But yes I totally agree with you.

If these guys aren't playing now and he's "lost the team" what makes JBot think things would change come Oct with Housley still coaching? IMO it's obvious as the sky is blue Housley gets the axe at seasons end. I think TPegs tells JBot its either him or you both go!
