Everyone needs someone or something to push them when you get to that level. Even if you think you don't. Michael Jordan used every insult or slight, real or imagined to fuel his unquenchable fire inside of him. And his coaches tapped into that side of him and don't believe for a second they didn't.

Red Wings and Pens eliminated last night after Philly pulls the goalie in a tie game since they needed a win in regulation to make it in...had they went to OT and won they would have been out but the Red Wings would have been in...tough way to get knocked out of the playoffs...especially after scoring with 3.3 seconds left to send the game to OT and then win it...

not at all. Might be taking a little longer than expected and experiencing more bumps in the road than he'd like but I don't think it will matter once it gets airborne and stays there over several years after.

20-30 goal scorer most likely. Probably turns into a good assist man...maybe 65-80 point seasons regularly with a few higher and lower.

He was excellent at them last year as well. One of the biggest drivers of the Sabres offense last year was Power starting the breaks up ice with those long passes out of his own zone. The offensive numbers with him on the ice versus off the ice last year was a pretty large gap.

Quite remarkable the Sabres have promoted so many young players to the NHL including Benson, this years #1 pick and STILL have the best prospect pool. Literally sitting on an almost embarrassing amount of prospect riches at this point. Wouldn't have been 13 years if Murray had been a little more patient and not traded all the prospects and picks for players that left the cupboard bare when it didn't work out. He set us back 5 years at least.

Do we have a single prospect that will be any good next year?

Sad we are tied in points with the Caps right now with 69 even tho they have 2 games in hand, but have a dreadful -32 goal differential. -
Meh...the NHL's model seems very flawed if not completely broken. How can half the teams or more lose money but yet the salary cap goes up year after year? Makes no sense. Making the kind of revenue they are making NO TEAM should be losing money. Literally the entire salaries of the NFL are paid from their share of revenue and not out of the owners pockets. They pay for signing bonuses up front but that's up to them if they want to do it. NFL pretty much prints money so it's usually not an issue.

so effectively, 90% of their games are against teams in their own division? WTF kind of weird schedule is that? Guessing trying to limit travel distance and costs? I mean they are playing them each like 10x?

Power is 21 years old. 21!!!! The amount of hate people have on this board borders on craziness for a player who is so young and still has a ton of room to grow.

Neither does Erik Karlsson.

Sabres Trade Erik Johnson to Philadelphia for a 2024 4th Round Pick

At the end of the day, talent wins out. It may take a little longer, but we have far more talent coming thru the pipeline than they do. Like the Bills in the mid 80s to late 80s...eventually all those HOF players they drafted just realized..."we are simply better than these other teams and we are going to kick your ass", and then they did. Sabres may not have any HOF players but they likely have a lot of really good ones. Only a matter of time before they are simply better most nights than the teams they are playing.
