LOL, good thing KA hired all these great Pkers. Goalies the same, same results.

Guess what. RK wants the PP to move the puck East-West, crash the net and screen the goalie. I think I said that 5 games ago. What took RK so long?

The only desperation is the Sabres fans wanting a decent team to watch. Now you see what a real coach can do with just a decent amount of talent.

No one on this team cares. Hall gets run and no one does anything. Wash is beating us up and no response. Same old Sabres.

I hate defend RK, but I understand why Mitts is with Staal and Skinner with Sheahan and Lazar. It's actually pretty simple. We have 11 goals by forward ytd and 8 5 on 5. The line of Sheahan Lazar and Skinner have 3 of those 8 even strength goals. Why break up something that has been somewhat effective?

Sometimes it's just to easy. Restraint..... Oh never mind. "that's what she said"

LOL. Brawndo is very quick. Interesting to see Mittelstadt in the top 6. I speculated that Asplund played over Casey because it was part of the defensive forwards, and that seems to be the case as Casey is in as an offensive forward. I hope he has a good game.

I think you're wrong anyway. 😁 I'd love to see Casey have a hat trick, but I'll settle for a pt (goal or asst) and looking like he belongs. If he scores a hat trick people will here will be wondering why he didn't start the season in the top 6.

We only blitzed once in week 6 according to a report I heard. With a healthy Edmunds and Milano and Mahomes with turf toe, I expect much more blitzes.

It was. But giving up 200 yards was way to much.

I think the system has stifled his creativity. I believe he is over thinking every play instead of letting his great instincts takeover.

Yes, Allen is healthy as well. Another plus. However Allen's bad day was significantly influenced by the poor play of the O-line that day. Since Felicano has returned the line has been one of the best in the NFL at pass protecting. Also the tenor of the entire game changes if we could have stopped the run, something we do now regularly with the return of Milano and a healthy Edmunds. Field position, time of possession, playing from behind all changes. Remember we made it a one possession game with 7 minutes left. We stop the Chiefs' last field goal drive and get the ball back with 2 minutes plus, we very well could have won even with Josh, Milano, Edmunds and Feliciano all injured. I

Can't trade Hall for picks and prospects. We need actual NHL players.

Biggest change in the teams since the game week 6. The Bills didn't have Milano and Felicano in week 6 or a healthy Edmunds. All three are back and fully healthy. That means they won't be able to run on us like last time or get as much pressure on Josh. Had those 3 guys been fully healthy for that game it would have been a different outcome. Just saying. However to be the best you have to be beat the best.

Others here can post their memorabilia also.

Full day tomorrow - IU at noon, Sabres at 3 and Bills at 6:40.

I posted in another thread about the time I had dinner with Dino Ciccarelli and friends at Chef's But this may be my favorite piece of hockey memorabilia. My family’s tickets at the Aud were next to the players wives. The guys when injured or scratched would sit there as well. Over time one of our favorite broadcasters and former players befriended me when he was still playing and I learned a great deal about the game from him. Still one of my all-time favorite Sabres and that is Mike Robitaille.

Went to Chef's one night before a Sabres game with my folks and went to get Dino Ciccarelli's autograph as he and some teammates were at the table next to us. Instead, he invited me to have dinner with him and the boys. I'll never forget it. Min N Stars at Chefs-compressed.pdf

@JohnC. My patience is gone. This is exactly how this team looked under RK at the end of last season and the results are the same. it's enough already.

Raanta is hurt I believe.

Yep and it needed to be done over the off-season. Now is almost to late. By the way I wrote this on Mar 9 2020 in the off-season game plan thread. I also wrote Rinse, Wash, Repeat. Playing tough, without finish or goaltending is meaningless.

That’s the problem. Your ok with bad results as long as you see some effort. That can’t be the standard any longer. We need actual results. The rebuild is necessary because even with new forwards the results are the same. Something is wrong with the whole organization. Also they didn’t lose because of bad puck luck. They lost because they didn’t get enough good scoring chances and they let in bad goals. This isn’t a winning formula and it’s the same losing formula from last year.

Not an unreasonable assessment.

So Watson wants to be traded to the Jets or Dolphins. F U Darnold and Tia says Watson. If he thinks playing for Houston sucks, wait til he plays for the worst franchise in football. Darnold must be praying Watson goes to the Jets and he can go somewhere with a real O-line, good receivers and decent coaching. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/texans-deshaun-watson-reportedly-reveals-ranked-list-of-teams-he-would-like-texans-to-trade-him-to/
