20 games left in the season. I think the next three are crucial. They lose them, I think panic sets in, PTSD starts to hit Eichel, he tries too hard and they don't play well in a team. That could carry them through to 10 games left in the season with them only 6-8 points higher in the standings, but which point it is too late to correct.

Don't forget Reiger's stupid 'Don't negotiate during the season' rule

Has either had anything to do with the Sabres since 2007?

Refs know they ***** up based on the speed of the make up call

Fun game

Nearly 5 goals for Skinner - valiant effort by Tuch to get him his 5th

Two deflections off skates that lead to goals - no luck tonight

Have any of them had to take a top job since? They just need to work for beer money now

I guess this massively helps cap-strapped teams?

This is when you hope to see a bottom up approach, with (highly) drafted players refusing to sign or report to the Blackhawks. RFA's signing offer sheets etc. UFA's walking rather than extending. I doubt you do, but solidarity and actions would speak a lot louder.

It’s the reason I chose to support the Sabres! It’s a cracking logo

I want the goat head in current colours

Based on spinal curvature. I think we're looking at Quasimodo's neck disc replacement

People still complain that Lehner cost us a lateish first. And he is a bonafide starter

Why is he being terminated?

Based on injuries I don't want 6 NHL D-men. I want 7 and a decent prospect in Rochester. Therefore there is room for Pysyk. He isn't the worst best, but he id decent enough and cheap

Where has this line of thinking come from? Think I've missed something about Karmanos taking over?

Urgh hate those offside reviews. Made no difference on the play

Dahlin had some pretty moves before the ‘fight’ broke out. As for the ‘fight’ - shades of Peters back on the team

At his age Crosby had put up nearly 300 points. He is a bust. Best we trade him for futures and restart the rebuild

Maybe we could trade Dahlin and Quinn for him and a 2023 first?

Can’t you extend that logic to any part of sports? Like we have no control over anything the Sabres do, so what benefit is it for us to know what the cap hit of a player is? Or what’s the lines will be that night? Or what a player was traded for? Knowing these things allows of engagement with the sport, which is part of the fun.

Gonna be a long night with Dell in net

Good - that’s the response you want to see. Dahlin is 21 playing top minutes on an AHL calibre team that is missing half its top players. He will be fine.

I really liked how Alex came across in his press conference
