"Great playoff race moments are born from succeeding with great opportunity, and that's what have here tonight, fans. That's what your Sabres have earned here tonight. One game; if we played them 1000 times, they might win 9000. But not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight we stay with them, and we shut them down because Stillman is in the line up. Tonight, we are the greatest wild card chasing hockey team in the league . You were born to be on the outside looking in -- every one of you, and you were meant to be here tonight because of the schedule. This is your time. Their time is, not quite done, but shorter today than it was yesterday. It's almost over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Bruins have. Screw 'em. This is your time to break Marchands face. Now go out there and try to win while head hunting!"

Good Morning my fellow Sabres maniacs. Everyone awake or just now rubbing the sleepy's from their eyes should be downing or about to down their morning cups of Joe. It's a day before dead line day, and we Sabres faithful have a busy 24 hrs ahead of ourselves. We'll be dissecting Adam's every decision, some are already sharpening their mental swords in anticipation of the outbursts that are sure to come. There is much excitement in the air as the team is within striking distance of a playoff spot. Let is introduce the 2 sides, off the right we have the "do something fool" crowd, hell bent on making the playoffs. On the left we have the "this wasn't a playoff year anyways" crowd, taking the pro Adam's stay the course strategy. Like a once in a life time episode of "Angry Runs", my fellow Sabres faithful I give you our fan bases version, "Angry Trades". While cantaloupe hunting your trade decisions opposite view holders, remember, try to be civil and no burning down Key Bank Centers comments please...... So enjoy, and have it........ 😀

Can Rasmus Asplund play hockey?

Can he play defense?

I'm thinking this kid is going to straight out truck and flatten anyone in a Bruins sweater!!! I like him.....GO SABRES!!!

JUST IN!!! Why here's Adam's and his staff reviewing that list now.....

Just read the portillo tweet from the Sabres account, the comments are gold, pure gold 🤣

Quick, someone get an 05/06 Hurricanes roster, which of Adam's old team mates kids are available 🤣

I am starting to think that report on the team roster leaders, i.e. Okposo and company, asking not to bring in outside help, let them figure it out on their own, may actually be the organizations policy. "If we can't do it in this room then by George it won't get done until we do" 🤣

Don't hold your breathe is my opinion. If he wasn't willing to better the team (because let's face it, Chychrun is an upgrade over several d men on this roster) to at least support the players in their efforts to push for a playoff spot this year, given how close they are. I have very low confidence he will next year as well. We shall see, because we have no choice 🤣 I laugh, but I also cry, because I think there's a chance you may be correct.

He's friends with one of Pegulas daughters, Adam's reportedly checked in with Zona 3 times on the cost to acquire, he knows the Sabres are on the rise competitively, I highly doubt he would have said he didn't want to come here.

Nope

There ya go folks. I'm told that 3rd pick will be slotted in to the 2nd defensive pairing, until it actually gets used on draft day for a Josh Bloom type player. Adam's successfully picked up a depth D and a 3/4 d pairing cardboard cut out stand in. Without spending high end assets in prpospects or picks. I'd say he's been quite successful.

It's laughable at this point, at least from a fans perspective. Maybe Kyven has some magic hockey pixie dust that he plans on sprinkling on the ground where a 3/4 defenseman will sprout out of the ground like a bean stalk, because looking at the pipeline, it's pretty bare.

At this point, it doesn't surprise me. Adam's is building near completely from within. My only question as a fan is this, where does he believe he's going to improve the defense in the near term given the defenseman prospect cupboard is bare?

Do we actually know what the injury is? Did Kyven slip and tell Dahls he's not picking up any help this deadline?

At the House

I hear ya though. Bit dam it, I need my straws to grasp at, we're so close the dam dance lol

Ah ha! Got ya! So Mr. Thorny, you thought you'd get away with it did ya. By your own admittance you declare the window open, but virtue of your suggesting all the Sabres have to do is push their way through. Ladies and gentlemen and them/they, I submit the defendants own words as evidence. 😀

We need to trade for players with strong home game numbers!

Well, from where I'm sitting, if anyone did stock up on TP, call me....I have 3 girls in the house, it's looking like a long journey to the upstairs bathroom.....

Sounds to me like the goalies aren't motivated at home?

They are motivated on the road, not at home. That's on the coach.

This is true. But......it was fun to dream....

Or Crouse, don't forget Crouse......👍
