I would normally agree with this......except, This team had high end talent: Ryan O'Reilly - Conn smythe winner, 1C Evander Kane - 2nd line LW power forward Jeff Skinner - 1 / 2 line LW finisher Jack Eichel, Samson Reinhart Individuals that espouse "lack of talent" baffle individuals such as myself. The talent was/is here. Even Girgs has potted 15 to 20 in the past. Sheath didn't look as horrible as he does here. Johansson has done better. And the list goes on. A part of that system these players cratered their careers in while here in Buffalo is not only the acceptance of the play, it is also the atmosphere or environment that is a good portion of the foundation for its existence........"Culture".

What else is new? #Culture ?

Sorry shrader, I didn't mean Plato, my bad, but I literally chuckle at these responds, so there's that at least ?

Exactly. The #1 underlying issue isn't the talent of the players here, it's the culture, and not just in the locker room, but up and down the organization. Losing has been accepted here at Key Bank Center. No players will even consider coming here until that changes, and I highly suspect an overwhelming majority of the current players here quietly want the hell out I'd surmise. The Pegula's must grab the bull by the horns and change this situation immediately. As each day passes, the longer they wait, the more entrenched the "losing culture" stigma becomes. Imho.

Nice return for Zucker. Speedy winger with some touch, Crosby and/or Malkin will love him. Looks like teams are starting to arm up, can't wait for the 5th rounder for Bogo to come in, that one excites me, and the 4th for Rodriquez, I'm tingling...………..all while our former shining Sabres spiral down in to the pit of NHL despair and end up thumping in to a splatted piece of Plato thrown off a 40 story building roof. But hey, the draft position is getting better...…………..SQUIRREL!!!!!...………………... nothing to see here, moving along.

I'm with ya. I started running the lottery generator and reading up and watching video on the top 10 picks of this c9ming draft. Bayfield at 6'4"? Center, but didn't look speedy on the videos I saw. Had hands though. Couple of RW'ers Holtz? and another guy, 6' or shorter. Hope we hit in the top 2 I guess.

It was critical we get another RHD, since, you know, we don't have enough ?

Oh yea, they had a good 3rd, against a team that is on the verge of passing us in the league standings, sinking us in to the bottom 5, yet again. Let's face it Huckleberry, there isn't a whole lot to grab on to positive wise, not only for this recent last 7 or 8 games, but this season and these past 2 years. I won't include the tanking years, although, I should, but this team is not only heading nowhere fast, I don't see it changing for the next year or 2 on top of that. Now I could be wrong about that last comment, but given the personnel decisions from this most recent management team the odds are heavily in my opinions favor, as of now.

Judging by their shooting, they don't either......

30th vs 30th, interesting

Alright, now we got them right where they want us!

Ducks fans were asked on the player movement situation today, here is the response...….. "I dunno, the thread was only posted a half hour ago." "But seriously, they called up two defensemen for a cross country flight and are scratching one(Mahura). Would seem odd considering they'll be back in Anaheim tonight and don't have an available forward that's being scratched. Jacob Larsson is also being scratched which some may find odd." It

Ducks calling up 2 and sending down 1, Ducks fans think a trade is incoming.

Ok then, a 10 game win streak it is, followed by 1 lose and another 6 game winning streak...…….. SO LET IT BE WRITTEN, SO LET IT BE DONE!!!!!!!!!!! GO SABRES!!!!!!

So, is there a realistic chance at a playoff run? Mathematically there still within what, 11/12 points? Now would be a good time for one of those 10 game winning streaks...…...

He could have been injured during transit, just another notch in the "Botterill Belt of Botchery" of this roster ?

Should have finished him off by instantly dropping the gloves and hey-makering his face over and over again...……... I don't care about the 2 points anymore, that ship has long since sailed, I care about these players balls finally dropping and they show it......

Do they not play Anaheim tomorrow? Why send Pilut down?

Botterill would actually have to do something, like a trade for a forward or 2 that actually improve the team for it to be considered "constructive". At this time I have 0 confidence Botterill can even wipe his ass correctly...…..let alone make a trade of that actually improves this team.

I don't know if anyone had answered me, but, isn't this the game North Buffalo went to?

They did what they had to do to win. Good job.

uh oh

uh oh
