Yes, winning the tourney last year and McDavid say hello ? Also, love the play from Laaksonen. He seems to love jumping into the O zone and Finns have him on their number one power play.

Big congrats to pi on dominating the season and winning the league. I didn't win but as long as wildcard doesn't then it feels like a win to me!

Merry Christmas Sabrespace. I've really enjoyed reading and interacting with all of you over the past ten plus years. More recently, these threads and the teams play have helped me through a very dark time in my life. Looking forward to renewed health and a great 2019. All the best to everyone who takes part in this crazy corner of the Internet!

Interesting. Ok thanks. I use my iPad at home and it requires I download the app and then says I am not eligible go download it due to my location. I have an old laptop and I'll give that a try next. Thanks!

I wish I could. Your from Canada as well. How do you get wgr550? I use to stream it from the website no problem but now that they've gone to the damn radio.com App I can't download it as it's unavailable in Canada.

Yep, agreed. The nice thing is everything has gone perfectly with the current D this season. Dahlin and Pilut were added and they look like they both have the potential of being top 4. McCabe and Bogo have recovered from last years injuries and both playing at a high level (hopefully McCabe gets back there with his return). So that's basically 4 D that we didn't have last year. I think we can now afford to let Guhle take the longer development path. Should end up working out better for the player and organization.

Not a popular opinion but Im fine with switching these lines up. The other day Phil said (paraphrasing) he would like more scoring from the bottom nine but the top line is scoring so well just don't get your head caved in. Look, nobody is scoring other than the top line now anyways. The defensive specialists are now spread out over the three lines. We will continue to live and die by the top line, PP and defensive scoring. Hopefully this way were more likely to keep the puck out of the net when the top line isn't out there. My top wish list is a legit 2c to create another scoring line but until that happens I'm fine with mixing it up.

All of this. He's certainly not slow but his straight line speed is not as fast as I thought it would be. But he more than makes up for it with his edge work and unbelievable hockey iq. The decision making is top notch. He makes difficult passes look routine and has dramatically improved the ability to break out of the zone. We are truly lucky to have a franchise centre and franchise dman. We won't be winning the cup this year but we should have some fun watching hockey over the next few years.

Honestly asking, are Boston or Montreal’s metrics much better than ours?

Seriously Brawndo, you are the man. Good info you pass along daily. so anyone else feel slighted that nobody is giving Buffalo a chance at the top 3? Sounds like this interview the hosts say we ‘have a chance to make the playoffs as a wildcard.’ I was listening to wgr550 around 415 today and they were interviewing someone from ESPN who basically said the top three will be Tampa, Toronto and Boston. But hey, the math says the sabres have a chance at WC. Screw that, we have a real shot at top 3. Let’s Go Buffalo!!!!!

He won't make it because they're not going to give the Sabres 3 players but Hutton absolutely is deserving to be in the all star game.

Big congrats to Pi, juju, North Buf and Wicca...I mean True for making the playoffs. Best of luck guys!

We can get more for him than we got for Kane right?

I don’t care how many members are online, NS is done with starting GDT for awhile ?

I was picking up my kid from after school and literally sat in my car an extra ten minutes to hear the end of the interview. Well, I turned it off when they started talking leafs. It was a great listen.

That was my first thought too. What a big piece he has become on the blueline. Even though all top 7 or so guys have been playing well this is not a guy I want out long term.

How long have we waited now for that franchise dman? Ironic the year were not tanking we pick first. Risto can soon play number 2 min and be better for it.

He was fantastic last night. He has to be up with the team moving forward. I don’t want to lose someone via waiver but if last night is any indication, he can help us win right now.

Your on fire tonight.

They just went toe to toe with one of the biggest cup favorites in the league....on a back to back with the road team sitting there waiting....with some injuries on the back end including playing with 5 D (two of which have less than 30 games nhl experience). I was worried we were going to get blown out but easily could have won and got a point. Huge heart they showed imo.

Thanks guys, guess I should have read on. Bad enough without McCabe. We need Risto.

Did I miss something? Where in the he'll is Risto?

God *****! Just found this out....

I was really thinking about it but if this results in another terrible season for you then I donno....hahhahah

Is Pilut still up? We starting Hunwick over Pilut?
