  1. Ya let’s not blame the guy who shot it in his own net but rather the guy confused as to why he was even having a puck sent in his direction cause the blindingly obvious play was to give the puck up Technically Pegula has one more appearance in the playoffs as Sabres owner than Adams has as GM
  2. Hope they take it easy today and don’t blow their energy for tomorrow. If I can only have one, it’s an easy choice as I’ll be there in person So….just win natural, I guess
  3. Fair but Makar is the Guy we need to separate players away, from, to see what they really are. If anyone is The Team there it’s him, he’s the engine + Mack
  4. It would be a pretty egregious miss to anyone who follows the draft, from what I hear. Misa seems a special F talent relative to the others. But as for the size of the group that cares, in Buffalo, in might very well be small
  5. It hurts a lot to see what we are letting slip by unutilized
  6. Assuming Detroit misses this year, only Yzerman (6) and Adams (5) will have missed the playoffs the last 5 years or more In fact, Yzerman, Adams and Cheveldayoff will be the only GMs in the NHL with 5 or more misses, *total*, during their entire tenure. Cheveldayoff’s 6 misses are spread out amongst 14 seasons. No current GM tenured 5 years or more has missed the playoffs more than the last 2 years straight besides Yzerman, Adams, and Armstrong (3 years) Yzerman and Adams are in a class of their own. Most GMs do not get more than 2 or 3 years to convert on a playoff berth.
  7. If they passed on Misa in that spot there’d be riots
  8. Right and im not ruling out the trading of that pick to facilitate those aims for any other reason than a lack of appropriate return
  9. I’ve heard it’s more like a drop after 2. Misa and the defender a level above. Hagens production considering the team he is on is I’ve heard underwhelming
  10. Makar is absolutely on another level, it’s sort of shocking looking at the D scoring leaders, even. He’s in his own tier, right now. But I don’t see anyone else definitively between him and Dahlin. Dahlin and Hughes would top the next tier, to me. And I’d say they are at superstar level, tbh.
  11. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
  12. Sabres will be on a back to back, 3 in 4 days on the road stretch when I see them on Sunday live, here. absolute ass Nearly every time they come up here. This is the secret to the jets success
  13. With Montreal pacing for 89 points, Sabres still have a point in their back pocket to play with
  14. Dahlin with the stick smash. Things still different?
  15. Our Stanley cup will be if Ottawa misses the playoffs
  16. It’s so good (when fresh) Big Mac no cheese. Quarter pound BLT. Whopper. Chicken buddy burger.
  17. win today, win our game in hand, mere 9 points back (with a likely Habs loss today) two 6-1 stretches to wrap up after that and we are in
  18. *that wasn’t what the post I responded to was talking about* I am severely struggling to see what you are missing here It’s actually very possible for me to take issue with deals being refused due to analysis of timeline and be ok with a pick not moved because of reasons due to lack of return I reiterate: we should not be avoiding the dealing of any prospective asset due to our stage of build if it is incredibly important to you to explain that no one will offer a reasonable return, anyways: again, so be it. I have no opinion on that
  19. Then so be it. But I wasn’t arguing with this future argument I didn’t know you were going to make. Again - my issue was with the idea it should be ruled out due to where we are at re: stage of build.
