SABRES 0311

It’s going to cost some money for the cybersecurity infrastructure. The network monitoring would probably be extensive for software and manpower. Not saying it isn’t doable but the network supporting voting would probably be a target for nefarious foreign and domestic groups.

Don’t disagree with your points. Not sure if Mitts would have the same production if he was still on this team. He’d be with failing Quinn and inexperienced Kulich/Benson. He’d definitely have more production than Cozens though.

Suspect goaltending and undisciplined penalties cost us the game. Top players need to produce which Dahlin did but this is one where the top six forwards need to score some goals. Boqvist and Bennet need to receive beatings.

I like McLeod. Is his ceiling a third liner or top six?

No, it does not.

Agreed. Accountability often gets interpreted as punishment for making mistakes. It can/should be used as positive reinforcement. Other, lesser skilled, players are producing so they should take the minutes Cozens and Quinn would get.

I’m late to this one. What’s the purpose of a thread for this guy?

He’s a third line center who can play second line minutes if needed. Just because you bought a Toyota Corolla for a million dollars doesn’t make it a Porsche. It doesn’t mean you could or should drive it like a Porsche either. There’s the answer to the big mystery. Dylan Cozens is not/will not be what everyone wants him to be. Doesn’t mean he sucks at hockey or that he can’t play for the Sabres. Find a real 2C and either put Cozens on that wing or move him to 3C.

Yeah but then it will some defensive woes or something. Always something with these guys.

Accepting cookies? Nope 😂

Dahlin just go send a message. Unless his lackluster play is because of an injury.

Gustavson now has more goals than Cozens 😂

He just threw a pretty good pass. Allen threaded the needle on that short pass.

You know what must be done.

Normally I would agree on Quinn but I’ve been wrong about a couple players so I’ll give him this season. If he doesn’t hit 20 goals then I’m concerned. For me, Cozens gets until the deadline to hit 20 goals. Muel is of zero value. Even with the cap going up his salary per his performance is unnecessary. If the team is in a playoff position GMKA should make a move for a decent veteran top six winger. Just my opinion. I doubt the team gets past the first round but the more games the better.

I get Ray is a Sabres hire but he’s too optimistic about the PP.

Here comes two minutes off the clock with nothing to show for it.

This reminds me of “Major League” when Taylor tells Lou “that was a different team.” Lou then has a heart attack.

Is Greenway injured?

You can do this all night.

Angry today or just every day? 😂

I think JJ is/will be a more rounded player. Terrible analogy but JJ is to Quinn what Crosby is to Ovechkin. One is versatile the other is one dimension.

I think most teams would be heavily favored against the hawks.

About as cringe as you can get in here.

I’ve semi jokingly talked about this. I do wonder if the damage is done. The Coyotes were horrible for so long in a market that probably didn’t have a very resilient fan base. Moving to Utah gave the franchise a fresh start. For Buffalo it would give the city/fans a fresh start. Even if a new owner came in and hired the right personnel in management, how long to make impactful improvements? The fan base would have some reinvigoration but after all these year’s skepticism would temper enthusiasm. I don’t want the team to move but if the ends justify the means, the suffering has to end. Too much history between the team and city to allow this disrespect of that history to continue. It somewhat feels like the end of a relationship where both parties are going through the motions out of familiarity. Sometimes you need to go your separate ways and start fresh. The last decade and a half is a slap in the face of every former player who bled for this team and every fan who emptied their wallet to give the family a memorable night. Despite management’s words the actions/inactions of them and the players show they do not understand the history and pride. They do not understand what that crest stands for and you could say few deserve to wear or represent it.
