Patrick Kane sure would have looked nice on the Sabres power play. 😩

Can we just do away with the anthems already?
Compared to most other arenas, Buffalo has some of the least inspiring singers in the league. It’s like a funeral when they sing.

No, because they win just enough to make KA and DG think this roster is good enough if given more time. They’re not going to make the playoffs, so it would be more of a wake up call if they continued to lose.

Yikes! Why not Tokarski or Comrie? It is not like the games matter anymore.
Likely because he had previous success in his hometown Montreal, a reward for his Monday game, UPL needs a break, and Adams and Granato still think they can make the playoffs. Three of those four are valid. Then he’ll go back to Rochester for the weekend.

I hate hate hate HATE Monday afternoon games.
Could you imagine being a fan on the left coast having to tune in at 9:30 am?
Paul Hamilton said that Tim Murray started this scheduling request so he could screw with western teams.
FYI: If the game is going bad you can switch to the NHL Network which is showing the Amerks at Toronto game at 2pm EST.

They definitely seem to play better when confident in their goalie. It’s anecdotal, I could be wrong. Certainly feels that way. Record seems to reflect it.
Powerplay is an entirely different issue
The thing about Comrie is he’s objectively bad. There aren’t any arguments in his favour. His numbers aren’t NHL worthy, below replacement. If someone can defend Comrie, they can defend anyone
I’m not defending Comrie, but they play just as bad in front of UPL, as evidenced by their inability to score in so many games.

Astounding Adams revealed Pegula watches all the games…
Wonder what Pegula is thinking when fans boo his team off the ice?
Wonder what he is saying to Adams when his team misses the playoffs for the 13th straight year… and still have half a season to play??
Does Pegula ever express displeasure with his Sabre management team?
Adams probably has the 9-3 win over Toronto on a loop at the Pegula house, and Terry doesn’t notice.-

It’s just a shame the team has to sacrifice so much of their free-wheeling offence when he’s in net. They really, really have to baby him back there since he’s not an NHL caliber goalie
Yet when UPL is in net they still struggle to score and have the 29th ranked power play. So that’s a false premise.

Just imagine getting traded from Boston to Buffalo. How depressing that would be.
It could be viewed as a great opportunity for a player who is being buried in the Bruins organization by the talent ahead of them.

Time to trade for a top 4 D. Calgary is having a fire sale, go for Hanafin.

I'm sensing a promotion to Buffalo is coming with the Quinn injury. He would be placed on a scoring line, which makes total sense.
They’ll probably just move Benson there and dress Olofsson.

Worse: Mittelstadt who is a soft along the boards turnover machine. His offense doesn’t make up for his defensive deficiencies. They have enough similar players signed to longer contracts. Sign and trade him for a gritty playoff experienced forward or top 4 defenseman.
Better: Krebs is a gritty two-way center with good passing ability who doesn’t get enough chances with offensive skilled wingers.

Vegas center Chandler Stephenson is a UFA. Excellent face off man, 3 or 4 line two-way player who kills penalties.

If he hurries he can make it back for game time.

Heres what an experienced GM does. No settling for just OK.

How many years will Kevyn need to be GM before he moves from an inexperienced GM to an experienced one?
One year after he actually acts like a GM and trades prospects and picks for players that can get them into the playoffs.

I’ve said this before. I have seen gambling ruin marriages and kill families. Stop promoting it. I’m no prud but why is it necessary? Let the gamblers go to the web and find what they need.
Because they get paid to advertise it. They have to make up for the empty seats.

That weak effort by Mittlestat along the boards that cost them the first goal is a perfect example of why I’d rather he get traded. He’ll never be a reliable top 6 forward who can play both ways. They have enough of those already signed. Get a top 4 D in exchange.
