Would this team have been better off (1) signing Taylor Hall, or (2) trading for Fleury for free? How many games has Hall won Buffalo? How many games has Hutton cost them?

This doesn’t mean anything. What’s a meeting for a hockey team? -practice? -film session? -morning skate? -pregame skate? -gathering around to meet for 10 mins before or after any on ice time? I don’t think this number is high really.

I love that when thinking about acquiring millions of dollars, your first thought is of a new side by side. Lol. This is like “it’s not you, it’s me”. It’s not that we don’t like Jeff Skinner, it’s just that we like the team better when he isn’t on it. Lol

Sabres are on pace to have the best PP in the league, by %, and also be last in the league in 5-on-5 scoring. That’s absolutely crazy.

Probably because, as is, they are scoring on 35% of their PPs, and Reinhart is scoring like crazy from in front of the net, so why change that? Maybe on the 2nd unit try Risto in front.

Eichel and Ullmark are day to day? How long before it’s announced that they are both done for the season?

Ullmark is showing that he is probably a starting level goalie going forward. Possibly one of the top-15 goalies in the league. It’s been really nice to watch his continued development over the past few years. I hope Buffalo keeps him. I think he could provide some stability moving forward. I really like his personality too.

I think Okposo has been pretty bad at this season.

This sounds like bologna. Eichel has looked like crap. Looks injured to me. Its his confidence. Its his conditioning. He skipped morning skate. He got injured in warmups. Its just a lot of different stories.

The Hockey Gods care not for the wishes of mortals.

About what I thought might happen.

I laughed so hard it hurt.

Another one just bounces off his stick and in. Typical Reinhart. smh

I think they might be better just taking one of those cardboard cutouts from the stands and putting it in goal.

Synergy

Cozens is great. Make him C.

Hutton is bad at stopping pucks. Lucky that wasn’t another one.

I just realized that I want (need?) Dahlin to grow an epic mullet. Embrace the flow.

Have you been paying attention to this team? Why not both?

Basing the severity of penalties based on whether or not blood is visible is stupid. It’s a real cop out from an officiating standpoint.

So far Mittelstadt looks like not a bust. It was painful watching Irwin on that Jesper Bratt goal. Related, I like Jesper Bratt. Eakin looked good on the PK.

It’s a team building thing. He is creating adversity for them to band together and overcome. Pretty brilliant actually.

Is this game a primer for when they trade Eichel. “See, it wouldn’t be that bad without him!” Just kidding...........I think, *gulp*

Missing the net on a medium/long shot in 3-on-3 OT, resulting in an immediate odd man rush the other way.

Krueger hates Jeff Skinner and wants him to GTFO. Of this I’m certain.
