“Virtue-signaling” is a derogatory term that implies a lack of sincerity in promoting or supporting a cause.

Part of the attraction for paying so much for the jerseys is knowing it was worn on ice by the players, not to mention the positive exposure it gives to the causes.

Cowardly move to appease the vocal minority. So no more Hockey Fights Cancer jerseys. 🙄

Along with top 4 D and veteran goalie, a 4th line center who can win faceoffs and kill penalties. An upgrade from Jost.

Enough with the retreads. Bringing back Okposo was bad enough, now we’re stuck with two slow 4th liners for another year. The top teams have effective 4th lines that can intimidate with speed and physicality. Another wasted opportunity to upgrade.

It can’t help having to compete with an NHL and AHL team in the same small city which has approximately the same metro population as Buffalo.

The best option would be to swap with Columbus so they have AHL Cleveland and Cincinnati, and Buffalo gets the Kalamazoo Wings. They could have an alternate jersey with chicken wings. Even better would be a new team in Binghamton who currently has an FPHL team.

I assume that Peca is the heir apparent to take over the Amerks when Appert gets promoted.

A few people on a chat site are hardly the vast majority of Sabres fans. I considered and find them overly optimistic. I look at the entirety of his career and the fact he’s never been able to drive a line or hold onto a center position. If some other team overvalues him then it’s time to move him before he asks for a big contract and acquire defensive talent..

I don’t base my opinions on polls, I base it on my observations. He’s yet to prove he can be consistent. I’m not willing to wait and find out. But it’s not our decision to make.

He had half a good season, helped by playing with their top wingers when Tage was hurt. He’s never been able to secure a center spot. That’s hardly a solid record.

That’s because he was playing with Tuch and Skinner who could make any center look good. But when not he has trouble centering other wingers.

Sorry, I don’t trust him to be consistent. He cant hold down a position at center and gets knocked off the puck too often on the wings. I trade him while he still has value.

Because they have plenty of offensive talent in the pipeline, but are lacking a top 4 D to pair with Power. He’s been inconsistent over his career and there’s no guarantee he won’t revert again. So strike while his stock is high, and solidify the D. We saw how they struggled when Samuelsson was injured.

I’m still hoping they use Mitts in a trade to acquire a top 4 D if they don’t get a UFA. Move him while he still has value.

Terrible that they couldn’t get one home win in three tries to reward the large crowds.

I’ll admit I didn’t think they had it in them but I was wrong. Even if they lose the series, I hope they at least give the home fans one last win to reward their support.

I’m guessing that if Prow is not back they’ll give Johnson his first game.

Like I said after the last game, this series is over. Last year it was Laval’s speed, this year it’s Hershey’s size and physicality. It was a nice run.

That huge logo on the field is distracting.

After game 1 Hershey adjusted their game and have shut down the Amerks offense. And their goalie is now dialed in.

It’s the old Flyers philosophy; if you keep committing infractions they won’t call everything, especially in the playoffs.

That game was too close. I expect the series will go 3 games.

A shame they couldn’t have a better effort with a sellout crowd. This series is over. Last year it was Laval’s speed, this year it’s Hershey’s size and physicality. It was a nice run.
