After over 40 yrs of Sabres trades I'm indifferent to their outcomes. What I expect is irrelevant, it's akin to a wish list. The only thing that truly moves my meter anymore are playoff appearances. Get in to the playoffs, anything can happen from there.

Your correct in that I would expect nothing less than Point. You incorrect in your ASSUMPTION I'd be disappointed if it wasn't Point.

And yet again, it's reportedly Tampa hunting Risto, can you remind me one more time how I should be disappointed?

Well, your response of "expect to be disappointed" makes 0 sense. Once again, they are hunting Risto, no Point, no Risto, and look, I'm not disappointed. ?

This team is close, very close. A couple of mistakes defensively. But they will learn. The battle cry is now "KILL GRITTY"!!!!!!

EICHEL!!!!!!!

Tampa or Boston or Washington will eat Toronto's lunch

Reinhart! Now, get another one boys...……...just do it!

wtf? that's it, game over.

Just get the goals back. By hook or by crook, and for all that is hockey righteous, take the freaking body hard for the rest of the game. Don't let up, drape them like ribbed trojan on an accordion.

yep, our typical 2nd period. You have to play the body, how many times do we have to say this, over and over and over again.

***** it, make it a pay-per-view event. You can call it Wyldnwoody friction-kaniption ? ($29.99 for the looooonnnngggg stroke version) ?

SNIPEL!!!!!!

Why would I be disappointed? Their the ones hunting Risto.

Just horrible on the power play, horrible. You have 5 players, they have 4, one of you is uncovered. Figure it out by using your eyes.

Smothering their *****. Our boys are like glaze on a donut...…………………

Quiet. They held their "Didn't get an RHD" funeral services at 4pm today ?

LETS GO SABRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As it should be. Not hunting hard enough though. Braydon Point. I'd except nothing less.

Still plenty of time for your playoff run return for him. I think Winnipeg will be just fine, a good fit for Beaulieu actually.

So, I would just like to leave you all with this...…………….. I was traversing the intra-Leafs=webs today, several of their fan forums in fact, and the reaction of Buffalo getting Montour and their management not addressing their RD situation has an overwhelming majority of their fans/fanbase in complete and utter melt down mode. I kid you not, the responses are priceless, and I mean priceless. The icing on this cake would be for our boys to beat the snot out of'em on the scoreboard tonight and take the game. That would just be pure heaven. But as of now, I am a bad person, as I find myself filled with an overwhelming emotion of joy, glee, fulfillment, happiness as I watch them all completely lose their marbles. GO SABRES!!!!!!!!

I agree. I am not sure what the Ducks are waiting for. They should have put Getzlaf, Perry and Kesler all on the block this deadline. Indeed, they should be on the block this coming draft as well as off season. I know it would be difficult to move Kesler given age and term, I am confident they could have found significant value in a return for both Perry and Getzlaf given they each have only 2 seasons left, albeit at 8.6 and 8.2 a season respectively. There are teams out there I could see scooping one or maybe even both up. NYI comes to mind immediately, along with New Jersey. But the point is, they could have stocked up on prospects, picks and young nhl or near nhl ready talent via deals like this while helping to ease pressure on their cap situation.

Which I seriously question. Mitts just doesn't look ready most games. But, I don't know, maybe they see something else...……...

Oh No! He'll shoot his eye out...……………………………………………..:D In all seriousness I like the fact they are prepared to let him continue if the Sabres don't make the playoffs. The kid needs all the shot practice he can get.

Yeah, I concur. They are going to try another run with largely this group next season I suspect. Although, admittedly, none of us are privy to what type of conversations were had this round that may bare fruit in the off season. But I to think they'll largely keep this forward group intact. Would love to rip Rakell from them but that's just a day dream I know.
