  1. Especially in combination with our excess of youth
  2. Was thinking more about what the pool was lacking, last I heard Savoie and Kulich were more likely headed to wing at the pro level so our system seemed to be lacking centres Isn’t Iginla a C?
  3. How do the centres and D look around 10? I think my priority right now would be: A) Trading the pick for immediate help B) a high-ceiling centre c) a RHD
  4. Same. And after reading how utterly BS the article was, and their reasons for scratching him, it made me sick.
  5. I like this He certainly does look minuscule out there currently
  6. Good. Maybe our second best forward after Quinn, would be my rough guess The league isn’t really divided into small players on one side and big players on the other. Kucherov is non negligibly larger than Benson, and looks it. This isn’t to say Benson can’t and won’t succeed but “doesn’t bother a guy who’s bigger than him” isn’t much of a flex
  7. Say what you want about the Sabres but their prioritizing of social media above all else is officially yielding results: It’s positive in so far as the action the take to solidify it. Last year they took the “scoring is fine, run it back: trust.” If they say the GT is fine and run it back without a more proven backup, Levi might work out but it might also blow up in their faces
  8. Maybe we should start by giving “Byrum” an “a”, first It’s definitely a “blame our only good players” thing His plus minus is merely reflective of overall team differential and his difficult competition he’s been our best player and mvp by a country mile Second pairing D
  9. Have you compared the strength of competition faced between Dahlin and Power? He’s facing more difficult competition than anyone last I checked
  10. Frankly we have a better chance of falling below Ottawa than making it
  11. lol stop. If we win next game you know this place will be in “we back” mode. Today was a “this franchise is an embarrassment” day. The 180 every win / loss is legit hilarious
  12. Bryan has had a rough stretch seemingly. Dunno why we are always so premature with the “fixed the team” stuff. The Bernier thing is a thing for a reason
  13. It’s not gonna happen but it just can’t die because literally no one seems to want a spot. That we are still in it with 75 points with 7 games left is crazy but like.. philly is the WC2 right now. If they play the next 7 at the pace they’ve played the previous 10, they’ll MAYBE get 6 points. 6-0-1 for Buffalo would probably get us in. So no it probably won’t happen but the funny thing is this “stretch” we’ve needed has gotten smaller and smaller over the final games, here. In spite of barely playing well at all. All these other teams have been putrid
  14. Well, we officially can’t match last year’s points total but we might make the playoffs lol
  15. Everyone loses
  16. UPL made an INSANE save and we didn’t even let him have it
  17. Islanders Sabres Penguins Caps Flyers all losing Detroit lost Not exactly fury road
  18. Never mind that: the Flyers are losing 2-0 to the Blackhawks it’s astounding the competition is so poor that we actually do still have an out of left field shot at this. That’s not a shot at the sabres, the cutoff might fall into the 80s
