Rob Ray blames Miller? And the fowards? Clearly incompetence by Dahlin. He had no business pressing the puck.

Would this team have been better off (1) signing Taylor Hall, or (2) trading for Fleury for free?
How many games has Hall won Buffalo? How many games has Hutton cost them?
If they did not sign Hall, probably less drama around Jeff. He slots into LW with Staal and Cozen, and maybe they perform adequately 5v5. The PP isn’t what it is today without Hall, but how many goals they regress, not sure. He’s probably getting moved at the deadline, and the return is unknown but perhaps significant down the road.
Having a solid #2 in net and a guy that you can trust to play big minutes if you have to (like now possibly) is way more valuable than a goal scoring forward (who isn’t scoring).
I also think of other assets in that trade when you take on MAF. They needed that space and probably would have moved someone else to sweeten the deal. Whether it be Tuch, who seems to be playing better this season, or McNabb to help our D corp, I’m probably leaning on a trade with Vegas over the FA signing, for this year at least. -
The NJ broadcast reported eight high danger chances against by the Sabres in the first period. That’s one more than the average per game through 16. The defense is struggling.

They need line changes
Out - Eakin, KO, Sheahan, Mitts, Davidson, Irwin,
In - Skinnner, Quinn, R2, Dea, Borgen, Fitz.
Eakin, aka the Invisible Man, needs to watch a few from the press box. Lazar needs more 5v5 minutes. Move him up to the third and have him and Rieder play minutes against the oppositions FL1, like the GLO line did last season.

If RK can’t get confidence out of Eichel what the ***** is he here for? It’s certainly not Xs and Os. What an embarrassment. My 15 year old little brother, with an 8 foot Eichel fat head, has completely turned on him. Says he doesn’t play like anyone worth looking up to anymore. Eichel is a down pillow.
As long as it isn’t a My Pillow. They’re filled with lies, not down.

He is playing as well as he can in my opinion and will be sorely missed. RHD is where their depth is, there is a possibility of only playing Dahlin and 5 righties, Montour, Risto, Miller, Joker and Borgen.
Agree on Jake. Best season with the Blue and Gold. Risto might not coming back for while. Issues with Covid. If we lose McCabe and Risto for 5-6 weeks as alluded to above it would complicate our playoff potential immensely. Pleasantly surprised with Borgen so far. But leaning on Dahlin/Miller/Montour to play those kind of minutes for almost two months will be challenging. Due to the compressed schedule 6 weeks is ~25 games. Ouch.

Maybe RFK needs to take the boys out on a little boat excursion. Seemed to work for R.P. McMurphy. Billy Babbit, Martini, Tabor, and the rest of the boys came back to the asylum with a renewed energy.
Although, it could result in Charlie Cheswick telling Kim, errrr Nurse Ratched
“Rules?! Piss on your ***** rules, Nurse Ratched”

Would u trade Seattle Ullmark and a protected 1st in exchange for them taking Skinner in the draft?
They cannot trade Linus, as he is an unrestricted FA in June. They will not have to protect him at all. I think its assumed that Seattle would be taking a goalie from Dallas (Khudobin) or Vancouver (Holtby). Would you rather?

Didn’t they just trade their Franchise QB?

Ok -- we've had them in their zone for a full shift and now our top line is in... this should result in a shot on goal... any day now.
Nope. Offsides instead.
That sequence resulted in zero shots. Not a horrible period, but did they register three shots on goal? Need more.

I think he means on the first line. Tage took his last shift.

How can Hall be out for coved?
Maybe a little Thomas Paine can offer a sliver of inspiration
December 23, 1776
THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.
“The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow.”

Tied for the lowest Expected Goals for. Second last in Scoring Chances and second last in High Danger Chances. Although the last two are obviously impacted by the hiatus, still bottom 7 when adjusted for games played. Said by others, unwilling (or instructed) not to go and stay in front of the net. I would to see a Rick Vaive type player on this squad.

RFK- You might want to ensure 44 is on the bench next time Bazzel is on the ice

95% of the time goalies make that save. Bottom line.
No doubt. But to quote the great one, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Driving the player into the boards equals no save required.

Don't agree. Dahlin backed off and gave him room to shoot. He doesn't make that shot if he's fighting off a defender.
Dahlin struggled skating backwards. Horrible goal but definitely contributed to the play. There were two sabers Reinhardt and Miller covering the other side. Rasmus had no business playing off his man. No reason to even allow a shot.

Kinda looking forward to seeing Borgen in a game.
This is his Wally Pip moment. He skates Monday and replaces Montour in the starting 6.

They rank 10th because they’ve only played 17 games. For those teams that have 20-22 games it’s the equivalent of 60 to 62 goals which puts the Sabres in the bottom half of the league. They probably will give up 5 or more today which will only move them down in the rankings.
ps Goaltending is a problem.
