  1. The 8-0 playoff game vs the Flyers in 2001 will be an experience I'll never forget. 

    I was 15, my brother was 18, and he said we'll go buy tickets from scalpers. The game was about to start... he said "don't worry, they'll be cheapest if we get them after the game starts."

    We got row 4 for $30ea. A playoff game! I felt like I was close enough to reach out and touch Donald Audette when he scored that bar-down slapshot.

    Incredible memory. Beat the Flyers!

    "Zhitnik, who some have dubbed 'the 3rd-pair defenceman of Kiev,' is said to have taken down 40 Russian fighter jets this week alone. Witnesses say that his rogue slapshot has proven an unexpected but welcome resource."

    I really like your hockey analyses 👍

    What "serious"? He'll be fine. Just a hockey injury. Not like the guy has cancer or something. That'd be different.

    As for "trade value" you're joking right? Guy couldn't even crack our line up full time, who'd want him at even half that salary?  

    My thoughts,  exactly... but stranger things happen every deadline, no?

    Dahlin's goal was nice but his defensive play still sucks.     He was beat to the net on more than one occasion for prime scoring chances.    He just doesn't seem to be improving at all in his own zone which should be a huge concern.

    My fear is he's becoming Erik Karlsson, a career minus player (-67) who's a massive liability in his own end.     Sure he'll put up points, but won't move the needle in win column.    

    Show me clips of your ideal defenseman at age 21.

    Houser is the butt of the joke here, but really... he's in a very small minority of goalies that have played for the Sabres over the last two years that actually has a winning record:  Anderson is 4-2-0; Houser is 3-2-0; Ullmark was 9-6-3 (above .500 in points but right at Deluca .500).  Toker is 6-13-5 as a Sabre; is he better than Houser?  I realize this is a very small sample size for both Anderson and Houser, but why are the Sabres (and this forum) so quick to dismiss Houser as a serious option at least?  He's outperformed every other goalie except Anderson in terms of W/L.

    Everyone else is uniformly awful from a W/L perspective.

    What's worrisome about Hauser is his fundamentals, imo: doesn't seem to have NHL- level recovery, and doesn't square to the puck well when he recovers.

    But then again, ppl criticized Hasek's fundamentals early on...
