Another game where Joker, Bryson, Clague, and Olofsson do nothing but hurt your team!!!

Team is full of pansies!!! Iv'e said it for years. You can only win so many games with just skill, it takes hard working determination to win consistently.

too soon

SO when you have 23 goals and are a -21, I think there you have a problem.

VO another minus!!

Isn't that the same thing Joker did in Tampa a few weeks ago that left the Sabres short handed going into overtime.

When healthy forward lines... Skinner- TNT- Quinn Mitts- Cozens- Tuch Greenway- Krebs- VO Girgs- Jost- Okposo

Letting him get acclimated.

As much as Girgs enjoys being the vet one the team, I think he walks as an UFA. His wife is from Pittsburgh, and they will need bottom six players. I also think he will maybe like Pitts chances to get to playoffs rather than a young Buffalo team. KO will probably be given one more year at a reduced salary around $2million. VO, Joker, and Bryson are the 3 players that need to be upgraded or at least be replaced with players that play a different style. Another rugged winger who can score 15-20 goals but hits everything in sight for VO. A steady stay at home RD for Power. Mayfield, Schenn, or Severson are UFA's that KA should pursue. I honestly think that UPL and Comrie would be ok if the defense in front of them was better.

They needed to give up the 3rd goal so they can get an empty net goal to get to 6.

Wow a trip and cross check and no calls!!

I give credit to Cooper for sitting his stars to send a message. They also do play tomorrow against Carolina.

Stamkos, Kooch and Point haven't played in 3rd yet!!

Quinn

I like to to see the energy that Stillman has but he has to leave the fighting to ... wait KA has addressed that yet!!

So Beau Halkidis is the young ref who doesn't have a clue. Son of former Sabre Bob Halkidis.

Same young stupid, blind ref calling all the penalties on Buffalo!!

another BS call

So now you can get tackled without the puck and still not draw a penalty!!

So I'm just wondering how they don't call the trip against Boosh when he clearly has position to get to the puck first on the PK!!! Sabres get no calls.

Note sure if the Sabres hit the 6 goal mark today, but at least Elliot is net so there is a chance. Don't have a good feeling about this afternoon. I'm going say 5-3 bad guys. Thompson, JJP and OP with goals. Too many penalties and Tampa scores 2PP goals.

Okposo will be signed for one more year at team friendly $1-2 million a year. After this season he will be around 980 games. Buffalo and Okposo will want to see him hit the 1000 NHL games mark. I could definitely see them only playing him 40-50 games and the team having him around as a good vet depth guy.

Hate that call...commercial, wait no commercial, wait Boston players are tired. Let's go to commercial and give them a couple e more minutes. WOW

KA needs to recognize where the Sabres are this year and still make a push to get to the playoffs. I get not wanting to mortgage the future for rentals, and I definitely don't want to see an overpayment by him to acquire some of the necessary pieces this teams needs and has needed all year. 1) A big physical forward who can be a presence on the ice, (Greenway, Crouse) 2) A RD for Power or another stay at home LD for 3rd pair (Jensen, Shattenkirk, Nemeth, Seeler, Edmundson, Savard) 3) Starting goaltender (Demko, Vejmelka, Korpisalo) KA needs that they need to reward the players this year and show that he is willing to make a move that will help them. I get that they have a plan, but reward the team and the city!!

If Jeanott got traded and we had the pieces equivalent to what Tampa gave up then I will start to doubt can make any improvements to team through trades or free agency. If he want to build from with in that is fine, but sometimes you have to trade some of your future or current talent to get a player that is not like any other on your team.
