It really is the best set up in the world for this.
Terry and Kim need some love for making this happen.

This makes me sad.
Then I think, I got to listen to the best ever for most of my adult life for the only sport I follow.
We grew much older together. There is a much worse scenario.
Better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all.

Glad he is doing good. Has to be the most depressing thing in the world being locked up like that.

Is this grade A kummelwick?

And closing out my thoughts on spank banks, after watching Krebs do his thing in the lockerroom before the game, I had to wonder: exactly how much grade A kummelwick is he pulling down in the Buffalo metro area?

It's their second three game win streak this season. 7 wins in 10 games in March so far. I don't give them much chance at getting a win in the next 4 games, but if they do they will be above the Deluca .500 for March.

Another nice hard working win. I love that they are showing they are no longer intimidated by hood teams. I think the terrible Edm game embarrassed the guys and got them re-focused and I think they are enjoying playing the spoiler.
I’m curious when was the last time the Sabres won 3 straight in OT/SO?
The last time they won three straight was the first three games of this season. Three straight in OT? Have they ever?

Mitts with best % on face-offs for the night at 62%
Why the heck wasn't he out there the last 3 minutes of the third in the o-zone when they could win one for the life of them?

We won. Crosby fell to his knees at center ice and cried. Evgeni Malkin said he's leaving for Russia. The Penguins might fire their coach.

TNT completely cut off the over time for me.
The NHL needs to figure it out.

• This is the third and final meeting between the Sabres and Penguins this season.
• Last meeting: Pittsburgh defeated Buffalo 3-2 (OT) in Pittsburgh on Dec. 17, 2021.
• The Sabres are 2-7-1 in their last 10 games against the Penguins; 3-7-0 at home.It all changes tonight. One team is on the way up, one is getting old.

Anderson said he was open to a playoff run if one presented itself, specifically mentioning a return to South Florida where his wife and children currently reside. He also said he was happy in Buffalo.
"I think if something made sense, it would've been done," Anderson said. "But at the same time, I'm 50-50 on it, right? I would've been able to go home and potentially do something deep into the playoffs and be a part of something. " But also, I'm glad to be here as well, to be a part of this growth we have right now. So, I think the big thing is stay in the moment. We're here right now, we're here in the moment. This is the job."
It appears the biggest decision made during this trade deadline was that winning now matters. If it didn't, a late round pick (7th?) and letting Anderson play in the playoff's would have happened. This is a huge turn of events from the previous decade. KA really isn't actively tanking, they want to win out. They kept their hot goalie and locker room mojo flowing and decided draft position wasn't their top priority.

These graphs are awesome, because then they have a feeling that they should’ve won, but they got blown out instead. It just increases their mental stress, their feelings of hopelessness and their inability to change their situation.
I watched that game. I didn't think Vegas had a chance. They had more shots on goal but the best scoring chances where by the Jets and VGN had low percentage shots.

I'm not giving up any major assets to sign a goalie that might be around for 2 years. They are a fickle bunch and may have absolutely no value to trade when the prospects are coming up.

I thought about posting this there, but I'm guessing that not many forum members are posting anywhere on these boards other than the Aud club.
I've posted right in the Aud Club that I was looking for tickets before and had a great response. It only took a couple of hours and I locked it as soon as I had tickets. I don't believe that anyone looks at the other forum either. I have posted there with no views when I was looking for tickets just a week ago.

They will finish with around 66 points.
They had 33 to finish off the first half of the season and I can see them getting another 33 with a healthy UPL/Anderson/Toker trio with the hard schedule they face.
While this may not sound like a good year it will still be a vast improvement from last year, the unintentional tank year.
We are 2/3's of the way through this season with 21 games left with 52 points. Last season (adjusted for games played) the Sabres ended the season with 54 points.
The Sabres should get 8-10 wins and a few over time losses in their remaining 21 games. Looks as though I underestimated them. I'm hoping I did that again here today.

There are posters on here that are STHs. They ask the going secondary market prices without the fee's. They have awesome seats. There is a forum just for tickets and merch. Just click forums at the top of the page.

Two posts that need to be pointed out again.
We didn't get worse at the TDL. It doesn't even matter that we didn't get better. We didn't get worse,… That's where we are, I guess, and even that feels strangely different and good.
It's huge.
Signs that a decade of complete ass is finally coming to an end.
Thank you. You summed it best so far.

As it is now, we have FOUR young goaltenders who need at least a couple of veteran mentors. I believe Tokarski is signed for next year, so he would be one of them.
Meanwhile, relying on a 41-year-old goaltender as even a frequent back-up in the NHL would be mind-boggling at best. We need something much more sure and much younger to tide us over for at least a couple of years. (This is why I was OK with signing Ullmark at a fairly high salary for 4 years.)
Ideally, Pysyk is #7 behind Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson, Jokiharu, and a pair of new, veteran, top 4 RHD. Alternatively, he rotates with a new top 4 D and pairs variously with Power and Dahlin, only getting lesser minutes.
I personally expect Pysyk and Hinostroza to be here next year while a couple of other guys are moved.
Very highly unlikely to happen. KA will find a guy he thinks will pair well with Power and that guy may or may not be considered top 4, he may already be on the team. Power will be heavily sheltered because they can. Lower minutes, o-zone starts and a consistent partner. Even as poorly run as they were in Dahlin's first year that sheltered him.
I can see a cap strapped team wanting to make a deal and we get a decent defenseman, but not two legitimated top 4 guys.

It's Tampa and Florida and the rest of the league.

How will they feel when Anderson and Pysyk aren't re-signed this off-season?
They will all be at home when it happens, they will all be fine. Packing your car up and leaving then living out of a hotel room for a month is in no way fun, knowing the team got a 6th rounder for you makes it sting even worse. Throw in he knows no one but where you were someone helps out, add a few more trades like that and that locker room goes to crap in a hurry.
-
We probably never get to read 1% of things like this, it's why when the locker has a good vibes for the first time in a decade making trades for late round picks that may upset it seems so futile.

KA had to set a precedent to his players also. No player wants to get shipped out for peanuts to a team that has very little chance of getting by the first round of the playoffs. They all want to win and are playing for their next contract but they also hate living out of a car/hotel room.

Do You Think Sabres Will Make Playoffs Next Year?
in The Aud Club
Posted
They win the Deluca .500 next March and they are in.
They will do it this year, see no reason they won't do it next.
I voted yes.
