Florida will be ready tonight, tough battles lay ahead this evening. Skinner with a hat trick, Okposo with 2 Buffalo 5 - Florida 2

I've read multiple forum platforms for 0ther teams, especially Atlantic Division teams. In the past month there has been a growing number of fans from those forums voicing the same line about Buffalo...........:like the way they rebuilt or not, Buffalo is coming" Love reading those ?

Really an odd situation to myself in any event. Larsson, Girgs and Bergy looked dangerous together. To bad he didn't see it that way if the reports are true.

I concede the Sabres will be in a similar cap situation. But that defensive depth.........flashes of 07.....

This is much more than just this season. The tear down and rebuild is roughly 70% complete. Just a small handful of poor contracts to get through in the next year or 2 combined with the developing wingers in the AHL, the to date successful pipeline globally for the Sabres prospects not yet in the AHL or with the club along with four 1st rd picks in the next 2 drafts, a defense that is clearly better and deeper than the Leafs, 2 net minders that are clearly better than the Leafs current tandem, the tight cap situation the Leafs are going to find themselves in following this season and there is more than enough reasons to project the Sabres as the long term better club. As for the Leafs playing more time in the offensive zone, I would have thought it was quite obvious from your own mindset on them. If we only have 1 line as opposed to their 3 that can maybe match their pace, it should be a foregone conclusion their 3 to 1 ratio spends more time in the O zone than our deficient lines.

The reason 5hey are a +24 is because they spend a greater deal of time in the O zone then Buffalo does. As was pointed out, as secondary scoring for Buffalo comes on line, I like our chances in a series against the Leafs.

"The Bergy Strikes Back" Trade me?????? Eat This Armpit!!!!!! ?

Love the win...... Need secondary scoring. Come on Bots, give these boys some reinforcements!

We need help from secondary scorers something bad. Getting the lead is one thing, opening it up to give comfort room is something else.

Sabres D is depleting its reserves quickly.

Ah, good point Doohickie. I sure hope that is not the case. I do wish the best for all of the players. I hope this is resolved with the best solution for all involved, although, admittedly, we know so little of what the situation is.

We should have won this game...... the shootout, and Washington has some snipers....yikes....

He has 8 months, better be hitting the protein and weights.

Yes!

That is the defending Stanley Cup Champions out there. Give'em some credit ?

Let the hate flow...…..errr, something like that anyways ?

Hutton...…….. Hunwick will play against Boston I suspect.

he needs to add weight, met him in the elevator at the Mariott after a game.

Well, not necessarily Apples to oranges, a similar situation may be unfolding here, but I suspect it's deeper than that.

Jack Eichel is without a doubt, one of the best 3 young forwards under 23 in the league today. McDavid, Mathews, Eichel. Those 3 are the best 3 forwards up and coming in the league, and I agree, if a trade could happen Eichel for McDavid, I wouldn't hesitate, you just do it.

That would not warrant a suspension. That would warrant a medical condition, which legally, addiction is classified as. It would be IR for him, if he chose to accept a program. This has already happened in the league. No, it's not medical, there is something else going on. You don't suspend a player for medical, that effects pay. You do it because of a contract breaching offense.

I don't think it's just that, he panics. you can see it. Sobotka in his 1st intermission interview spoke on being patient with the puck. He's correct to a larger extent. THIS!!! And thank you for keeping perspective.

Baloo is concerning. Down to 5 D with #5 as one of them is not good. Okposo, Mitts and Sheary need to pot one or two here, they have to help the top line.

YEA!!!!!!!

EICHEL!!!!!!
