Right choice. (Understandably) he is clearly not able to fully focus. What you hope to see is the team stepping up, showing him he can focus on his home life without guilt, because they'll pick up the slack

I have a theory that Quinn was a hockey nerd growing up and really focused on the game. He then discovered the millionaire lifestyle after a year in the NHL and now puts less effort into his training and practice, and al performs worse. There is a clip of the Sabres all in LA I think from a few years ago and they talk about wanting to show Quinn the worlD or that there is more to life than hockey or something. He's that maths nerd that discovers girls and Longer does well in his exams. But his maths is hockey and exams are the NHL

Sabres entered this game in a playoff position UPL played The Sabres are no longer in a playoff position

It feels like we will lose this one 4-3 with a weak goal allowed in the last 2 minutes

UPL has to sit. He is third, maybe fourth on the depth chart now.

Can you decline a penalty in hockey?

Lazy shift by Tage

Right call

UPL rocking a .667 save percentage this season

This is a good comment! It is slightly confusing how the Sabres can be struggling for cap space considering the roster we have - obviously effectively losing a whole top line slot to Jeff's contract is not helpful. I would quite like to lock Benson and Doan up whilst they're a bit cheaper. UPL and Power earning $13 million certainly doesn't help.

Right now, I would be more excited to sign Benson to an 8 year extension than Tuch. And I like Tuch.

Oskar Olausson has been traded twice in like 3 months. Strange for a 22 year old

What is happening this period? Pure chaos

Benson has been a game changer

This just isn't true. Last season, Zucker (and McLeod) would be 4th on Florida and Vegas and 3rd in Colorado for forwards points. He/They is basically borderline 1st line player (by raw numbers). I say this because there is often a perception that a first line palyer is 100 points, a second line player is 70 points and a third liner is 50+ and that just isn't true. Tuch, Tage, Zucker, Norris, McLeod is genuinely 5 top 6 forwards. Our issue is depth - Quinn, Benson, Kulich, Doan, Krebs need to step up and the whole forward group needs to player better defensively. The Sabres have actually played pretty well for big chunks of the last 3 games. The issue is that they didn't break through, and then would often give up a goal or major chance on the counter attack and it would sap their will and momentum
