That might be the best sabres game I’ve seen in 5 years. What a great effort. Very entertained and disappointing. They earned atleast a point. Too bad.

Do we still think this is just the flu?

Meh, it really wouldn’t be a miracle a top 10 pick comes in his D2 season and makes a big impact. However Botts would be a huge moron to bank on that happening.

Don’t want to wish any injuries but Jake Muzzin broke his hand last night and out atleast a month. Leafs thin D is getting even thinner.....

I love me Sam Reinhart but it sure looks like Drasaitl should have been that second overall pick in 2014. Can I blame EXGMTM for that too?

More jets fans in the building then I had envisioned but great time overall. That was a big win. I had wrote this team off for dead at Christmas but nice to see some life. The small things both Jack and Dahlin do are incredible. We have two superstars on our team and not much else but you can see the potential is there. JJ was excellent today.

Nope. As mentioned we need a record of 13-6-2 minimum to have a look.

Looks like Jets are starting their backup today as well and his numbers look awful. Should be a high scoring one today.

Sabres are 6-3-1 over their last 10. If they play that pace over the next 20 and win the last game of the season that’s 92 points. I wonder what the magic number has to be but that would be close.

I’ve made the annual trek down to Buffalo with my family and we can’t wait to go to the game today. Sabres have been playing much better over the past few weeks so let’s hope it continues today. Last game before the trade deadline. On a separate note the Buffalo Grand Hotel is sure starting to go down hill....

No but with the salary cap as it is I would assume this is going to be hard to do over the next few days. Offseason more likely but even then he didn’t do nearly enough last offseason.

Yep, I’m with you on this. I thought for sure a Risto to Tampa trade was going to happen last off-season. Not holding my breath anything changes.

Would we seriously trade with them again after getting hosed so bad last time??

We have to move on from Jason.

I don’t think Cozens is as highly regarded as Reinhart was but I may be wrong. Iirc, Reinhart was one of three at the top of a draft which analysts considered weak. Cozens was in the 4-10 type range of a draft experts considered stronger. Mits had a ton of praise coming out his draft year also and would guess he was around equally regarded? It’s still a bit of a crap shoot though. I’m not counting on it but Mits could still turn into the best of all three one day. Ok that may be too much wishful thinking lol.

Are you willing to make a move for him if it’s say McCabe plus?

If they are trying to quarantine and greatly restrict the movement of 1.4 billion people this isn’t the same as the flu.....

No

All a crock? A country of 1.4 billion is on military style lockdown. The health impacts are significant and the economic impacts will not be short term and will be/is far reaching. I’m not sure what your definition of ‘crock’ is. I’ve been following this closely via a wide variety of media sources and this is an extremely serious situation no matter which way you look at it.

Isn’t that what Johansson is suppose to be?

I noticed the Okposo one for sure. Sandin made a rookie mistake there but Kerfoot ‘back checking’ was embarrassing. If he skates even half speed he would have been in a position to break that play up. I would be outraged with Kerfoot if I’m a leaf fan.

I agree with this. So if Botts or whichever gm of the day can get their head out of their ass maybe we can do something special. DO NOT waste anymore of Eichel or Dahlins careers. It’s absurd we have these two guys and they continue to be buried in the standings prior to Christmas.

Yes. And it would be lol

I love Sabrespace. But I do not understand the anti player thread. Sometimes it’s nice having a ‘catch all’ thread for top prospects and key players on the Sabres. Lately there is less and less reason to care about the Sabres in general and as an extension this website. I think it is a disservice to shut down these catch all type threads. Just imo obviously and continue to thank you for keeping sabrespace alive and well. But a catch all thread for our top prospect is one of the only reasons of hope and why I even check in here some days....
