Yep, just caught it in the game day, but thanks dudacek.

Dahlin, Larsson and Montour? out?

Ristolainen + Rodriguez for Nikolaj Ehlers looks to be a good trade.

Kapanen in Toronto healthy scratch. Info per Luke Fox twitter: Kapanen's scratch tonight is not injury-related. Sheldon Keefe expected to update press post-game.

So someone other than Eichel or Reinhart scored. That's good. Now, we just need to line up 5 abreast at the blue line and keep the puck out of our zone and we should win. Whatever they do, please for the love of the hockey gods, DO NOT try to score another goal, that would cost us the game I fear.

Now that the playoffs are all but gone what are the players playing for now? More of the same? "We're playing for each other"? or maybe "we play for our pride"? Or is it some more of this gem, "we have to gain steam going in to the off season for next season"? And if none of those rear their ugly heads, which I'm sure some will, they can always do their favorite fall back line, "we need to finish up strong, because, you know, we have no freaking idea why"...……….. go sabres, I guess...……...

And yet no word, not one, with all of the fan voices growing increasingly louder and louder, from the organization. While I realize they are well aware of the situation, their silence is very telling imo. They don't have the answer's in my estimation. One thing is obviously clear, a bobble head give away isn't going to sooth the animus of Sabres nation faithful this time. They are going to have to address the situation before Key Bank Center really does have masses of pitchfork and torches carrying fans storming the gates.

"It's a situation where this sucks, enough's enough" That right there, Gold Jerry, pure Gold...…………..

Thoughts on who that GM should be dudacek?

It should have already have happened, that is the ONLY correct answer.

21-22 at the earliest, with the "right" roster subtraction and additions COMBINED with the proper adherence to "not accepting poor culture standards". And when I say culture standards, I mean accepting under performing and under achieving.

Welcome to the *****-show Dea. Please check your "love for the game" with the valet before entering the arena, they will return it to you upon your exit. Have a nice stay......

Honestly, it couldn't do any worse.

I'm done with believing the Pegula's will do the right thing here. There is just to much evidence to the contrary. I can't see Jack sticking around after 5 years of his career are circling the toilet bowl. Let's be honest for a moment, he's a competitor, he's not competing here, and quite honestly, do you believe Botterill can reshape this roster in 1 off season to turn it in to a true cup contender? Not a roster building towards such mind you, but a true cup contender? I don't believe for a single second he is capable. Next season will be much like this season with maybe, and I stress maybe, a few more points. Botterill has proven nothing. The team itself, the roster, is completely without identity. They are pussies on the ice, they run like cowards from the physical game, they don't back one another, they have near 0 chemistry, they can't hit the broad side of a barn when shooting, and they have not a clue what winning a puck battle means. It is what it is, and that would be the Product of one Terry Pegula.

I bet it's coming, and sooner than you think. There is no savior coming in the off season, no trade that's going to turn around the fortunes of this organization in the immediate future, no prospect that's going to step in and save the day. I'm calling it now, Eichel will be gone by the end of the next season, either at the dead line or in that off season.

yelp, there is Eichel's signal, "Get me the HELL OUT OF HERE, TRADE ME" It's coming folks, whether you realize it or not, it's coming. This organization is, in point of fact, that bad.

Been screaming it for a couple seasons now. No one appears concerned, so...…………….we get this instead. Enjoy ?

This season is a write off, that's obvious. May as well sell what you can.

Kudos to that, but...……………….these guys aren't Drury, Briere, Afineganov lol

Not surprising. Hey, I know, let's gas our top players to try and make something happen because, you know, we have no one else lol

I am now completely expecting something to happen. Jack asking quietly for a trade, Botterill being removed, a few trades, a President of Hockey Ops brought in...………..something. This cannot continue as is. Under the Pegula ownership, the Sabres brand among players not only in the league, but the minors and future draft picks has to have reached such a low level of dread that I don't think it will recover from it in the next 4 to 5 years to be honest, maybe longer. It is that bad.

If they lose this game, which, by all activity in the 2nd indicates they will, they will have completely lost an overwhelming majority of the fan base that is still hanging around. The damage done to this franchise, imho, is historic.

Lazar all alone on the left side of the net, McCabe you moron.

I bought a 10 pack this season, been to 2 games, sold the other 8. I wore the Eichel 50th to both games, love that Jersey, he netted 30 this year, his first time. But I understand your disgust, I really do.
