Keon Coleman has a high max speed as well.

Beck’s goal shows that any guy in the NHL, even an Adam Mair or Beck Malenstyn has more talent at hockey than most of us can even imagine. The issue for Beck is the distance between him and McDavid is also the size of the Grand Canyon.

Kulich isn’t tradable right now and I don’t think the Sabres would trade him if they could. Until the blood clots are resolved he isn’t going anywhere and he is an effort player like Doan and Benson and we don’t have enough of those. Garland is an interesting idea. A long-term Zucker replacement ? I don’t think he’d cost as much as Kulich (if healthy). The Sabres actually have a slight cap issue right now if Norris and Danforth are returning this season. Some contracts need to be heading back to Van to make the numbers work. I’d start a deal with Krebs and a 2nd rd pick or Wahlberg. If they want Rosen, then Krebs Rosen for Garland and a draft pick. I think Rosen proved he is a viable middle six forward during this call up which should have increased his trade value. My biggest question is does Garland fill a need now. We still need real goaltending and defensive help. I like to see management focus on improving those areas before forward.

I always thought 100 games too low a standard for “making it” in the NHL. 100 games is 1.25 seasons. That’s not much of a career. 240 seems like a better number.

Not sure what filters you used, but in UPL’s 5 games prior to tonight his save % was .881. Until tonight he had had only one game of the 5 with a save % over .9. In 3 of the starts his save % was a terrible .875 or less. Tonight was his best performance by far. Lyon has had an over .900 save % in 7 of his 12 starts. He did get shelled in Col. Frankly, I don’t trust any of the 3 to give the team quality consistent goaltending.

8 of the team's next 10 games are on the road, including 6 straight 5 of 6 out West. If they can win 5 of the 8 road games, then I'll have some hope for this team.

I just re-watched the disallowed goal in the 1st. Benson’s skate hits the goalie, but it’s a Carolina player’s skate that actually impedes Anderson. It was a terrible call. The “situation room” should have reviewed the play like they did on the Thompson play without the Sabres wasting a challenge.

Power vs Ristolainen - 1st 3 full seasons A - 23g - 83a - 106 pts B - 17g - 91a - 108 pts Who is who?

So you’re saying going 1-5-2 on the road isn’t good enough?

Yes, Virginia that’s how you and the team should be playing every night.

lol, this from a fan base that hasn’t sniffed a Cup since 1967. Not a single conference championship. No President’s trophies. That’s 58 years of futility.

That this how the Sabres should play every game. I really like Timmins. He reminds me every game recently of Toni Lydman (fixed).

Bye! We hardly knew you!

Should Norris give no. 9 back to Benson? He isn’t using it.
