It’s all in good fun. If we all liked the same teams it would be boring. I just hate the way Leaf’s fans take over Sabres home games.

I said Sabres property as they were drafted by the team. I forgot about MJ.

He plays big when it counts.

I root for anyone that plays against Toronto, Edmonton, and Boston.

Turn in your Sabres fan card.

Here are all the former Sabres properties who are in the playoffs. Forwards T Hall - R O’Reilly - S Reinhart Z Kassian - E Rodrigues - B Hagel E Kane - JT Compher - M Foligno W Simmonds - J Larrson - C Sheary N Delauriers - C Lazar - B Lemieux Defense A Sekera - B Montour C Ruhwedel - N Zadorov M Scandella - Z Bogosisn - R Hagg Goalies L Ullmark - C Peterson - J Johansson How do you think they’d do as a team?

Their other goalie Sean Bonar played 25 games for Cincy, and won Game 2 in the current series.

They should inquire with Chicago about Jonathan Toews. He has 1 year left at $10.5 million, which would give Chicago cap relief, get the Sabres closer to the cap minimum, and provide a good face off man and experience who could take Eakins place.

Coach on UPL: “He’s likely out for the short-term,” Appert said. “I’d be surprised if he’s available for the play-in series, and even the next round is a question mark.”

Laval up 4-1 with 4 min left in 2nd. Game is on tv in Syracuse.

If UPL is out they’ll have to depend on Dell. Houser will likely come from Cincy, who could clinch their 1st round series tonight. A shame his injury could affect both team’s chances.

Thanks, it was my rookie hockey year, but I do have over 20 years of fantasy football experience. It’s a bit different in that you have to tweek your roster each week depending on which teams have more games. And my son thought you had the best team name.

I’d rather they played Belleville. Laval has a better roster.

Looks like Utica would rather travel to Rochester than Canada for the playoffs. Now it will depend on Belleville to decide if they’d rather play Toronto or Rochester. Sounds like UPL hurt his hamstring as he grabbed the back of his leg. Fitzgerald had 3 assists and was a +3. Imagine if he, Samuelsson, and Krebs were with them the past two weeks. Making the playoffs would have likely already been a done deal.

Thanks but I need 2XL to wear in games. I thought there was a guy who made them.

You know where I can get that jersey?

On Instigators they said there’s an app called Mixhalo that lets you listen to RJ’s play-by-play in the arena.

Now they send Fitz to Rochester when he was needed two weeks ago. 🙄 Houser just had a 42 save playoff shutout last night.

UPL did well with the Sabres and a better defense before his injury. But they need a reliable NHL goalie under 30 just in case he’s not ready to be a full time starter.

I’m not saying it’s an issue, it’s an asset where they can afford a larger salary or help another team with their cap by taking on another player along with a goalie. And a 40 year old injury prone Anderson is not a reliable option for backup. You get a goalie to pair with UPL, and let them split games until one becomes the clear starter.

No, they need to use their cap space and draft picks to trade for a proven younger NHL goalie who’s been in the league a couple of years and ready to be a starter, like Georgiev from Rangers.

I DVR Sabres games anyway so I can fast forward through commercials and stoppages, so I’ll also DVR the draft, and then go back and forth an hour after to have continuous action.

That’s a simplistic view. I’m talking about over the past two weeks when they lost close games. The defensemen would have solidified the defense as a top pair, both preventing the opposition from scoring, and creating more scoring chances with puck possession. Krebs would have provided a quality forward who could drive his line. The impact would flow throughout the lineup. A missed opportunity.

Three losses for the Amerks this weekend, two against the only team below them, have pretty much killed their playoff chances. Meanwhile the Sabres kept the players that could have helped them the past two weeks. Poor management by KA results in another missed opportunity that was there for the taking.
