Kozak telling opponents to get the Bozak This team is going to be a lot better than most pundits think. Probably not playoff good but I think somewhere in the 87-90 point range.

His rebound control is always poor...one of the biggest reasons he is not permanently in the NHL yet. In fact, by advanced metrics, his rebounds above expected was 70th out of 73 goalies last year, so basically among the worst in the NHL at controlling rebounds.

Wow...team is splurging...during a recession no less! Honestly tho, how the hell do you call a game from the studio?? That is so ghetto.

No idea how the cap keeps increasing while many teams are hemorrhaging money

Kozak with an unbelievable shot to score...that was a sniper's goal. Fucale you!

The Bills can still beat the brakes off teams even with injuries because we have Allen who is basically a human cheat code at QB.

I think Comrie is the clear number 1 as long as he continues his play from last year without too much drop off. Ideally maybe 50-60 games. Anderson as little as possible and hopefully UPL the majority of the games Comrie doesn't play.

This team's pipeline is stocked full of talent and its not only the 1st round picks now...even late round picks like Rousek and Kozak are looking like they are going to be solid NHL players within a few years...something that was sorely lacking over the last decade. Basically if they weren't a first round pick, they weren't playing for us. Hard to build a solid team that way.

I think we are a season away from the playoffs also...but I think we are in the upper 80s point wise this year...not in, but a major push forward.

I don't understand how you watch them play at 103 point pace once Tuch, Krebs and the injured guys came back over the last two months of the year, we should have upgraded goaltending, now have Powers all year instead of the last 8 games, and are adding Quinn and possibly JPP to the lineup and see them barely better than last year...

I think it's going to be significantly higher than that. With the new additions after the Eichel trade from March 1st on, they were averaging well over 3 goals a game, at 3.14 goals per game. Prior to that they were dreadful, averaging 2.61 goals per game, more than a half goal per game difference. That really didn't include Power as he only played 8 games and looked great for them as well. I think they are going to be somewhere in the 280-290 range. This team can score goals now and as they build chemistry and add more to the skill level with Quinn and likely JPP, I think they will become more of an offensive threat. This is the year the Sabres take a big step towards playoff contention IMO. I think they barely miss it but will be in the running up until maybe the last few weeks of the season.

Way over. Somewhere in the upper 80 to low 90 range.

Welcome to the Adams Administration!

Good movie by the Sabres, his price was only going up next year if they waited most likely

IMHO Women's hockey is just brutal to watch...I watched a lot of the US team playing Canada a few times in the world championship and the olympics, etc and I was kinda shocked at how basic things like passing and puck control were so bad compared to what I watched in the NHL. And that was the best of the best playing...couldn't imagine watching lesser teams.

OMG! That is terrible! I cannot imagine what you are going through...I have two younger daughters myself...one 15 and one 11 and could not even picture that happening to either one of them. My condolences and I am so sorry for your loss!

Shouldn't be a surprise...they are both very deep and very talented.

The gas is ridiculously cheaper down there as well...was like $3.87 when the other rez prices were still in the $4.30s or $4.40s

He can get the Bozack with his fresh Rozack

Look at the Bills...for so long nobody wanted to play for them, now teams are having their agents reach out to them letting them know their clients want to come paly there with Josh Allen

Because there are many people who are still racist and it's becoming much harder to hide it these days. Ironically, some Black people claim racism is worse up North than it is down South because at least there it is more in your face...up here it is more hidden and harder to discern.

Uhh...what part of two way contract don't you understand? Understandable but the goal isn't to make the playoffs once, it's to build something sustainable to be able to do it year after year.

Depends how much he can work on rebound control. Other aspects of his analytics are pretty good. His rebound control was among the worst in the NHL of all qualified goalies, 3rd from the bottom at like 72nd in the NHL. Fewer rebounds will help all other numbers as well, so this should be his main focus at improving this.

Damn...another legend gone...RIP
