Savage.....

Who was in the press box tonight, Elie? Who's the call up if needed?

Agreed. Make the mistakes in season, come playoff time, use those lessons to your advantage. Dahlin will carry many of these lessons in to the post season, where he can apply what he's learned throughout the season.

Stinkers are bound to happen. It's a long season. 1st line plus Risto tonight. We need those reinforcements from Rochester Bots spoke on in games like this. Anything to get a secondary O zone and scoring pressure. But, on to the next, we have Washington to focus on.

Reinhart and Skinner with the assists? Looked like it.

lol, Bogo is on fire, channeling his inner Lidstrom there.

who got caught pinching?

Girgensons has a motor on him.

pre TD 7 yrs, post TD 8 yrs, i'm hedging 8 yrs.

Come on Skinner, sign for 8 x 8, make the magic last.

And the Legend of Skinner Grows!!!!!!!!

I have to have at least 1 "And the Legend of Skinner Grows" moment ?

I agree. If it is over ice time/role on team I am inclined to believe Berglund is professional enough to make the coaching staff look twice at him. Something doesn't add up here. Was there a falling out in the locker room no one has heard about? Is there something else at play here?

Agreed, I'm guessing 20 million minimum between them 2.

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.
