Ullmark doing his Hasek impersination tonight.

They didn't regain control, at all. I could see your point of view, if they had, but they never sniffed the puck until it was in the their net after he coughed it up in the O zone.

Broke Back Christmas?

Jesus Jack, win a face off already little buddy.

Yep, I watched him, he was useless, just standing in the slot all alone while his team mates were fighting every which way for the puck. He needs to go.

That goal is all on Bogosain and not because it went off his skate either. The reason it was in our zone is because he pinched down low in the O zone then coughed the puck up leading to that chain of events.

They are just out hustling us on puck possession.

kept them to the perimeter and hounded them.

That was a nice pass by Dahlin and great patience by Reinhart. Hoping to see much more of that.

That was nice!

I believe Botterill is dealing from a position of strength when it comes to the RHD asset pool. With Borgen sure to push for a spot next season he has some leeway to make a couple of deals. Teams in need of RHD's to address both depth for a playoff run as well as those looking for longer term solutions to that position are sure to come knocking. In my opinion it will all depend on the Sabres position in the standings when the time comes. Bogo is surely gone, maybe with salary retained and most likely for picks or a B/B- prospect. He is still a big bodied defenseman who can play, if picks I can see a team giving a 2nd rdr for his services in a playoff run, if retained salary I can see an additional pick added for that, or maybe a prospect that fills a need for Rochester. Either way, he won't be here past the deadline. Risto won't be going anywhere I more than suspect. He's coming in to his own under RK imo. Jokiharu is a core D man on this team at a very reasonable cost yet. He's here for the duration. This brings us to Miller and Montour. Miller is 27 yrs old with 3 yrs at 3.88 mil left. Very affordable and serviceable D man for those teams looking for a bit of term left. Maybe a lower tier playoff bound team or perhaps even a non playoff team looking to address next season a bit early before the off season trade bidding wars begin. Hard to say. Montour is going to get a raise, and I'm guessing the 5 to 6 mil territory is at the very least going to be pushed for. Even if he's not perceived by fans to be worth that, I can see his agent going for that. Still an RFA, he will be valued by many other teams, if your looking for a 2C, here is your chip in the game, imho.

As so many have pointed out, various factors in play. Even if Botterill is poking around I suspect the week of the deadline to be the active area of the schedule as teams see where they stand.

I won't be worth a ***** tomorrow at work, but it is more than worth it watching this team, this night. If this keeps up, I'll be buying tickets again come mid to late Feb. In the mean time, stay golden pony boys, stay golden...………. Night all. GO SABRES!!!!

And to think, I had enough Margarita's to type actually type it out in the same post ? Sometimes, you just smile because the Sabres made your night and life is good, even if you are trying to talk serious hockey while drunk ?

I was hoping I was viewing this correctly, and hey, I'm just a fan, so I could be wrong, but honestly, I don't think so. It's just what I'm seeing is all.

My only fear right now is Hutton. We need to make a goalie swap. His contract and recent play make it a net negative I would think, but we need to give Ullmark a back up goalie worthy of his rest. Because honestly, Ullmark is coming in to his own right now and is our #1 goalie. We need help in net minding, no? My only fear right now is Hutton. We need to make a goalie swap.

Hey Wild, what's the time projection on Skinner and Oloffson?

8TH? I believe we can do better.

Pardon me sir, but can I please see this team every night? Signed, ALL SABRES FANS! Thank You.
