Krebs reminds me of Skinner. They thrive in chaos .

Please do. It's been fun!

He missed an open net then hits a spot just barely big enough to get the puck through and scores. He could be a steal for the Sabres contract wise.

Here's to the Sabre's PR team for that well timed and well done 300th tribute. First star, Mom/Dad and your wife on the jumbotron while getting stick taps.

Ukko Ukko Ukko Pekka!

@Spoonman Sorry spoon but you needed to be 8 hours sooner with that.

I'd call this his anti goal song.

Not much better. He's more than likely to be a boat anchor to his line mate rather than being lifted up by him.

It does appear that this team is in a much better place mentally. The best way I can describe it is *they have some good vibes radiating*.

One little mistake and this place gets funny! Thank you wild for taking one for the funny team!

Not around here. It flows freely in these parts.

So there is a Tony and PA got them confused. I'm old enough to sympathize.

No Bjork!

E-Rod was my first guess. Then I looked at the 16-17 roster. Dimitry Kulikov had a +/- year that made Risto look awesome. So I'm going with Kulikov. Locking in my answer.

Nobody made that list that played in and around 1992-2001.

BOLD. They just named every first time coach in every sport on every level. *Legitimate* coaches (aka retreads) could very easily come in here and tried to win now and have a better win/loss record, in fact I'm positive they would have a better winning record. They would also never get the development of young talent because they would not be allowed to make mistakes. We would see ice time go to those best suited to play a trap style game that limits the other team. We're complaining about the ice time Eakin gets now, just imagine if his game was exactly what a veteran head coach wanted? They could have done a heck of a lot worse than Granato for the development of a team this young, not sure there are that many out there that would do better.

So let me get this straight. The Sabres lose a game that they where supposed to because they are not as talented. They battled hard all game. Coaching kept them in the game. But we need to fire the coach?

Alexei Zhitnik. The reasonable side of my brain says he took thousands of shots but only 2 where actually shots on goal. But......

GET OFF MY LAWN!

That's what she said!

The other more wonderful end of the spectrum is we have cap space to take on unwanted contracts as longs as they pay us in picks/prospects accordingly. Gotta pay the garbage man to haul it away.

If by tradition you mean *old fan* , this one would welcome it. Love the organ player, hates loud seemingly random top 40 songs played. I believe if your under the age of 50 most would think the opposite of what I believe makes for a good atmosphere at a hockey game.

My mental image is along these lines.

Mittelstadt is back, he can use him for critical face off's.
