It all depends on their frame. Some frames have the ability to add enough bulk and some don't.

Those 6'5" dudes under 200 lbs would need to have the frame capable of putting on some serious bulk...otherwise you are going to get a big guy that gets pushed all over the ice because they have a serious lack of muscle, especially lower body.

Would this be our modern day Mike Grier like player, or at least filling the same type of role?

He has now 3-Peated as Champion TWICE in his career with 2 different teams...probably the only player in history of sports perhaps to have that honor.

Ones that win.

Pack it up, pack it in... Let me begin...

Bandits averaged 18,470 this year(up from 16,974 last year) for their 9 home games, by far the highest in the NLL and almost 6,400 per game higher than the 2nd place Calgary Roughnecks with 12,076. These were the only two teams averaging more than 10K per game, league average was 7,833. They outdraw the Sabres significantly, and it's not hard to understand why.

It's really. really hard to be this bad as a team when you have 2 elite players in Dahlin and Thompson and a very,very good all-around player who puts up 35 goals like Tuch. Really, almost impossible, I would say it's a statistical improbability that the Sabres continue to figure out ways to do it.

Tuch set a new NHL record for blocked shots(113) among forwards since the stat was kept starting in the 2005-2006 season Tage Thompson became the first Sabre to ever lead the NHL in even strength goals in a season with 37.

Yeah that's pretty crazy to think of. imagine two teams in the same city where 1 team has the 2nd longest playoff missing streak in league history(the Bills at 17 years) and the other has shattered the previous record by 4 years and counting at 14 years(Sabres - previous record was 10) with both periods overlapping.

Ryan Fitzpatrick was the Bills starting QB and we had Stevie Johnson, Lee Evans, CJ Spiller, Roscoe Parrish, Fred Jackson, Donte Whitner, Chris Kelsay, Jairus Byrd and Paul Posluszny on the team with Chan Gailey as coach.

when you post an .872 save percentage and a 4.12 GAA I would hope that's all he got. You need to earn your playing time when you are coming up from the AHL and you didn't perform well the season before. He performed worse. Much worse.

Levi has absolutely sucked in the NHL outside his rookie year and gotten worse each of the 3 years...not a comforting thought.

if they get some hot ring girls up there with the lottery, I'll volunteer to let them tamper with my balls...you know...just for good luck! 😂

You only get to make lasting memories with your kids for a short time. Don't ever choose not to do something you feel you might regret later in life when you had a chance to give her that.

OK, how bout I say they have been to multiple Cup Finals then? 😂 Yikes...have been to 7 Cup Finals since then but only 1 win...probably the worst performing Boston team out of the 4 sports teams...which is crazy to think about.

Tuch has 32 goals

Who cares? Jeremy Jacobs was a Sabres fan...hasn't stopped him from wining multiple Stanley Cups with the Bruins

Blues on a heater winning 11 straight games and 17 of their last 20

probably be in a playoff spot or very close to it.

Maybe...he has gotten progressively worse in the NHL the more games he has played which is somewhat concerning. He made UPL look like an All-Star this year in his 9 games where he went 2-7 with a 4.12 GAA and .872 Save Percentage this year. Has gone from a .905 to .899 to .872 save percentage in the last 3 years.

Levi has been worse than UPL numbers wise, so he needs to up his game first before he can provide that

The only times UPL has played well was when he had something on the line...his rookie year when he was trying to make the Sabres and in his contract year. Other than that, he has been bad. Unfocused, undisciplined, out of position, not driven to push himself but needs something else to push him. Not what you want out of an athlete.
