I still think this is where we are at.

They just don't win many defensive zone puck battles, for whatever reason, size, stick positioning, decision making, I don't know, but they don't win many.

Hall made that goal happen with that nice pass.

Nice.

Don't like everyone standing around on the PP. They need to cycle, move their feet, force the D to move.

Tight game. Hall didn't help with that high stick trying to throw wood off his back. And to think, Wood was available last season was it? To bad there are no visionaries in the Sabres management offices.

just bad luck on that one

The MASH tent is getting full here in Buffalo.

New Jersey must hate us.

I'm not sure if that is the case, but, they have definitely had some players step up the tempo of play at least this game. Eichel and Skinner being out, the young guys look to be growing a bit here. Of course, it's only 1 game, and I could be entirely off the mark, they all could of done an 8 ball before the game, who knows.

Why, I have not begun to defile myself kind sir 😛

I'm wondering if the entire team relied to heavily on the few core players. It appears, at least so far, that once they are forced to gut it out and play, they are competitive. HOW SMALL?

But...... He is playing, unlike Skinner..... 😄

He's was ranked in the top 10 of Tele-Tubby TV awhile back. Underrated is a bit to much 😉

Wow! Someone NOT NAMED Olofsson scored on the Power Play? What year is it again?

What in the Tarnation is going on here? Tage Thompson in? Skinner still sits, with Eichel out? Now I know words were had between Ralphie and Jeff, there is 0 doubt in my mind.

Regarding the Jeff Skinner situation: I ain't sayin' it was Aliens, but it was Aliens.

It's yesterday. Is he gone yet?

Lonagan puts 500k on Lucky Dan, the movie: The Sting

The Sabres should hire an old "Lucky Dan" announcer. After all, the organization is pulling one hell of "a sting" on the fan base. 😄

I think the Devils come in to this game playing mad. I'm expecting a tight affair in to overtime. All will hinge on goaltending. 50/50 on who takes the tilt. I'll put on the homer hat and call it 4-3, Sabres in OT.

Jack would not like his game philosophy anyways, meat face requires his players to keep their legs moving.

Neither Okposo nor Skinner are considered "long term dead weight" by everyone. In other words, not everyone thinks the same. Okposo could be considered a short term cap dump, as well as a veteran presence, Skinner could be viewed as a productive player, even if over priced. Hell, it was only 2 seasons ago he hit 40 + goals.

Buffalo finishes with a lottery pick, Seattle will come knocking. They'll need cap, both Skinner and Okposo they would happily take I'd surmise.

You left out TM's trades. Why? Edit: ah never mind, you said on the current Sabres/amerks. But this current roster isnt really the full story.
