Randall Flagg

A team being 2 picks short of a full draft slate for a season like th i s is what is ridiculous.

dis is absurd. Vesey and Simmonds, right? Jesus christ Jason

Reasonable given his on ice value.

Honestly had already forgot about it lmao

One of my least favorite Sabres ever. dis has something to do with the fact dat he spent my childhood as my least favorite NHLer, but it is mostly because he was one of the lowest effort hockey players I've ever seen in dis uniform.

Liger was the first guy I saw afflicted by th*s curse, I thought he was just being a weirdo

Had to drive to gramma's house to keep working lol

The first of this season so far, we went 6-8-2. The second half is a 16 game losing streak

My sister spent a lot of time making a drawing of Linus Ullmark and sent it to him through Instagram, figuring he'd never see it, but he saw it and responded to her. Definitely made her week. Linus is a cool dude.

Ray isn't always as bad, but man does it get irritating when Dan goes out of his way to paint a picture that the Sabres are just unfortunate victims of circumstance rather than sucking. He calls the game this way

Another 3 on 2

Dahlin moving around without the puck was such a sight for sore eyes. That's what you gotta do if you aren't the guy with the puck in the offensive zone. It tires the defense out and causes confusion.

Mitts did the same mistake twice. Skinner sucks more than usual tonight I've been watching our 3 on 2s closely. So far I've seen 2, and we could not reach the top of the circles before losing the puck each time.

Damn, really dumb play by Skinner led to that

Nice forecheck tonight

Jesus christ, Staal

That was an uncomfortable exchange between Rayzor and Dan

Missed the first 7 mins or so but Mitts, Dahlin, Cozens, Bryson look good

Kids look a lot better today. Cozens winning puck battles below his own goal line is the kind of stuff that will fix this team

Smith should have gotten a game or two weeks ago IMO

Right on

Imagine telling Kevyn Adams circa January 2020 what his next 15 months would be like

It does, that guy has the hockey sense of a mule lol. He's just so gifted that he can still produce like crazy But even then, in his MVP contending season, we posted a season identical to the mediocrity that has been every season of his career, complete with typical March swoons and bottom 8 finishes. When teams ramp up their play on our Sabres, and our Sabres players, to get ready for the playoffs, our Sabres fundamentally do not know how to handle it, because while they can play on the same field as those teams earlier in the year, they get blown out of the water later, which is why our last March regulation victory was in 2018 They have the talent to play with these teams, but they don't have the wisdom or ability to know how to carry that into the "meaningful March" That's part of what I don't think we can fix with our limited assets. Sure, I'd love to get Danault to play 2C, Savard at RHD, and a real goalie. Maybe Raanta is the best one that'll come here, Raanta-Ullmark would be solid. That would be a pretty damn good offseason talent influx, and there is no guarantee at all that we can match it while keeping Jack, Dahlin, and Reinhart. Those guys, or functional equivalents, would absolutely get swallowed by Buffalo. They wouldn't pull us out, they'd do what countless others do when they get here, get sucked in

The trade bait lists and UFA lists don't have players that would be able to resist the Buffalo Sabres vortex of *****, and we don't have the assets with those three as untouchables to acquire players that for one reason or another would be immune to the vortex of *****, much less be capable of changing it Maybe Bruce Boudreau and a decent 2C and goalie could change it, but I don't know if they can change whatever makes Sam Reinhart incapable of being a part of a 3 on 2 that gets a scoring chance for 3 years running, even if I believe he's incredibly good. Or the countless other disturbing malformed hockey "essences" that plague every skater on our roster

This was an excerpt from the yahoo article, so it was the author of the article adding nonsensical fluff to his discussion about what some guy said on TV.
