Oh look, a thing happened...……...

Come on Risto, just drop'em and start throwing. Show them they can't stand in or around the crease and back it up with some ASS buddy.

2. is a falsehood. we'd get players back or we could sign a Pommer's, Vanek who are sitting on the sideline right now. That is not one of the reasons were not having a fire sale. 1. is valid, to a point, and I suspect additionally it's Botterill who is truly holding it up as he appears to like these guys.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the 2018-2019....errrr…...2019-2020 Buffalo Sabres………….big round of Boooo's everyone now ?

It's still early, I wonder if WGR has Duane on hold...……………….

Grab a blanket and start early, cause I highly doubt a word will be spoken...……. Agreed. It appears the strategy is to ride out the season on the Horse they Rode in on...…………..

The games in Buffalo so...…………..yes?

Promoting the Deadline and Draft early? ?

Not clearing the crease, typical Buffalo. McCabe just standing there...…………….

"Welcome to NHL Tonight folks, where tonights pre-game "a team in focus" story is sure to be watched league wide. Players around the league are on high alert right now, with many of them running scared with the trade deadline nearly 2 weeks away. Fear has gripped those suspicious of being on the trade block, fear of being traded to the Buffalo Sabres, where enough data has now been collected to confirm the existence of the often speculated on Buffalost Virus, a disease which is running a currently unconfirmed 33% hockey player career mortality rate. Currently, the R&D personnel at the now famous Sabrespace Laboratories are continuing to crunch the numbers but have confirmed 32 fatalities to date. I spoke with 2 players this evening prior to the game Pierre, they are in full panic mode as they were both found hiding in the showers in the fetal positions in attempts to avoid contact with their GM's. This is an ongoing NHLPA emergency and we'll keep ya posted. Back to the rink." ?

Agreed, Skinner should be winding back up chemistry wise with Jack. The team is paying for a 9 million dollar 1st line LW'er, not a 9 million dollar bottom 6 LW'er. This is just beyond ridiculous now imo.

Disgusting. Even against Detroit, while at home, to give the fans some excitement RFK still refuses to play Skinner with Eichel for a full game. Just unacceptable.

I've been speaking on it for sometime now. The Culture, I mean, I realize the players aren't the greatest, but there is enough talent on the roster to be doing a bit better than they have points wise, but the game play...…………..yikes, they are hockey players that look more like the keystone cops, that has to be Culture. What in the blue-bonnet holy hell is going on in that locker room for accountability only now to be rearing it's head publicly? Especially given last years downward spiral, I'd have thought this past December someone, anyone, Eichel as captain,, Okposo or maybe even one of Sheary or Girgenson's would have spoken up and said hey, WTF are you all doing out there? We look like a 3 legged dog trying to hump a beach ball, let's get it together...…...ya know.

So what mode is the team actually in right now, sell or buy and try and catch up? Where do fans think Botterill's mind is right now?

Touche' Not sure on the goaltending choice either. But grabbing Kyle Clifford @ 50% retained was a solid move imo. I guess we'll see how it works out for them I guess. They still need to address defense imo.

Toronto addressing needs, not surprised.

The change we've all been waiting for? ?

The Sabres are selling rotary phones, last table on the left at the West Clarksville flea market.

Botterill sucks. Sorry, but he has been a part of the problem in this 9 year stretch of hockey hell.

They already have a center for him. His name is Jack Eichel.

I chuckled at this, but in all seriousness, what could we get for him?

You can take it to the bank if some of the people I know are expressing concern, the panic is not only warranted, it necessitates protocol enactment. And they are no where near media, let alone mainstream media. As I've said, I'm a nobody, but, some of the people I know, they aren't. And they are taking this much more seriously than this post would dictate. There is a reason for that just so you know.

Thank god for that.

I'll leave the numbers to you all that are in the know. I can only post what I'm being told from those I know directly over there. It seems to be a concern, even Paul, my families good friend, while confident, is concerned. There is a quarantined Japanese Cruise ship, he currently directly is involved in all facets of supplies to, including medical. He was concerned, highly concerned. He asked me not to share that portion of the conversation, that is all that I can say. Hopefully this will begin to tail spin down. I don't know, Ben, my friend stuck in China, his wife is currently deathly afraid for him, and those numbers coming out, outside of Chinese government channels, they would scare me if I was directly in the zone of impact.

SDS, Paul has agreed I can share this conversation portion. Yes he did, but more needs to be done to keep the citizens informed. Trump should directly address the nation on this. It's not even debatable at this point. Paul He might in the SOTU address Ty We'll see, but a friend of mine I worked with in TN is stuck in Chendu, his wife texted me, said it's much worse than people know. Paul No doubt, China controls the reporting process and the news, kind of like the lib's in the states. Ty Yep, they cut hos call to her. Just an FYI 9:48 PM Paul Told you! Ty Ty Paul, you know I wouldn't normally ask, and I realize the comm channel we are on, but, I have to ask and I completely understand if you can't answer. Has the command in Japan prepared for the eventuality of the situation, should the spread merit it? Paul Rest assured, we as a people are prepared. Ty Thank you God Bless you and Yumi Paul. You are everything when I started out, I strived to be. Paul Stand tall with pride Ty. You've done things that most don't understand. With that, I am thankful to not only call you a friend, but a shipmate. Not many can say that in our worlds. Ty Ty Thank you again Paul.
