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.

My grandma doesn't like idea hiring him.....

It's yesterday. Is he gone yet?

There is. The Canadians organization has set the bar high if you want to be a member of that storied organization. Look at the way they move players, transition coaching. That smacks of "***** or get off the pot". Win or go home. It seems to work for them, they are highly competitive most seasons.

I'd like to see Tim Murray's forward acquisition list. I have a strong suspicion we need to somehow get Botterill and Murray to have a "complete roster" love child. Just a hunch......

Olofsson is entering his "prime power play goal scoring" years. We should acquire as many penalty drawing players as possible.

Rochester coaches and development staff?

On a side note, you just know that bat and the stick used by Lorentz in that game would have been great collectors items 😄

Well, we have ourselves a bona fide starting goaltender. Pretty dam good to, and young still.
