Long before I joined, I have read your posts PA.And then you've got a big chunk of the planet that would cheer a truck driving through there. Sadly. I've been thinking about this since seeing this video. I don't really think it's because some people want us to live like them, but because they want the life we have. That square is hardly my life, but I just spent hour upon hour preparing the Sabres GOTY contest, while fellow humans don't have electricity. I just hope we're moving in one direction and not the other. Earth 2018.
My family lineage would fascinate you I am sure. Given your posts. A great deal of persecution and suffering.
That is a conversation we can have in a private setting, if you wish. One side of my existence is from Centre County, PA. Indeed, a majority of the line of succession is there.
You help who you can, trust in providence and have faith for the rest.

I will personally hunt down the first person to use this as any kind of gauge on what our record will be next season.
Based on strength of schedule, opponents injury history, historic records, I'll go a solid 9-7 with a slight possibility of 8-8, depending on talent infusion.
Oh, if your going to "hunt me down" I'd prefer you wear fishnet stockings. And please, shave your legs INCLUDING THE ANKLES!!!
Thanks.

lol poor Lehner. Literally every loss is blamed on him. He made like 5 amazing game-saving stops and its not enough. How about we outshoot an opponent for once? Or limit them to 25 rather than 45 shots?
Poor Leher my ass. The guy can't perform in clutch situations, be it 45 or 25 shots.
It is what it is man, he's no good in 3 on 3/ 3 on 4 situations and shootouts.
Stop defending him, s5art seeing the larger picture.
-
Meh, its what I expected.
-
Give gorges credit for his physical play
Wonder if they're showcasing him for a Pitt swap
-
Camera view is better.
About what I expected except I thought the Kane high stick should have been 4. Maybe I'm wrong, but at least I can see the game now.
GO SABRES!!!

It really can be truly amazing what humanity can do when we apply ourselves to bring joy to one another. Truly.Oh, and here's to a Happy New Year to all. God Bless.

They shouldn't trade up.
Trade down? Maybe, if they can get two 2nd rounders out of it.
They should draft O-line, Linebackers and D-line with those five 1st three rd picks.
Start filling in the trenches and building a team for that future QB.
Sign Cousins.

Holy . Baltimore gets Buffaloed by Vinci.......love it :D
-
It would have to be 2019, which sort of stinks.
I would be okay with this under the condition that we acquire, the first, Sprong and Sheary. However, I doubt they agree to this.
Could be. But that cap relief affords them options. Maybe tweak the deal with an addotion from Buffalo, but nothing heavy.
I would think it would entice them.

Mitts

I would be totally against trading McCabe. No way!
:D
Guhle will supplant him next season anyways.
Girgs a casualty of need for Pitt.
I'd re-sign Cole, I like his heavy game.
Let Hagelin and Sheary ride out their contracts while ELC's and low cost bridge contracts run along the same time frame.
Hey, I'd pawn Bogo if I knew they'd take him. Or Pommers for that matter.
-
Kane 5.25 ufa (2.625 @ 50% retained)
McCabe 1.60 1yr rfa
Girgensons 1.60 1yr rfa
Baptiste
To Pittsburgh for
Hagelin 4 1yr
Sheary 3 2yr
Cole 2.1 ufa
Sprong
Pittsburgh 1st 2018
Kane a part of the large package shake up in Pittsburgh
-
What? Why? He has four straight 30 goal season and he's cheap for another year still! Also, never forget the golden rule: you want to trade with Marc Bergevin.
What do you believe it would take to acquire Patches?
-
I think he should wear #17
-
His attitude has sucked. He's been lazy and playing like ###### until recently, when all the sudden he decided to start caring and skating again. There is a noticeable difference in the effort he puts into every shift recently
It's obvious, someone showed him the comments in his Sabrespace thread.......
-
Sprong called up today for Pittsburgh.
Showcasing? Maybe
But its clear Sheary (2yrs left @ 3m) and Hagilin (1yr left @ 4m) are under performing, and have been for some time now.
Combine that with the rumors about Cole (UFA 2.10m), Letang (4yrs @ 7.25m) and JR threatening he's considering a major shake up, especially with a potential 3rd cup run now in what appears to be some mid-season trouble, especially given Geno's and Sid's window is right now, I can see a deal with Buffalo for Kane and some other components being very possible.
So in essence, Hagilin, Sheary, Cole, Letang and perhaps Sprong and Pittsburgh's 1st or 2nd could all be on the table.
Given the possibilities with all the variables in potential play on the Pittsburgh, I'm paying attention to the scouting seats at Pitt games.
In the mean time, no harm in trying to play arm chair GM for a few days, discuss.

Botterill should trade Lehner before the enivitable overtime
-
What a game. Froze our ass's off but man, was it worth it.
There was a large group of Canadians all around us, great folks, great hockey fans.
After USA's 2nd goal, one guy said "every time that Middlestadt touches the puck it scares me. He's just that good".
A number of the Canadian fans around us were Toronto fans. They were all saying how scary it was that Buffalo has this young talent. They were even talking about our Swedish players with praise and envy.
It felt good.
Oh, and Casey, yea, he's something special.
Go Sabres!!!

I wouldn't mind re-uniting Reinhart with Duclair and Domi. They had solid chemistry as a line at their wjc appearance.
-
Bob Hope, John Wayne, Johnny Carson, Johnny Cash
My runner up.....
George Burns, Jackie Gleason, George Carlin, Tom Hanks
Really both

Evergreen Colorado was the best week I ever had on vacation. In and around Elkhorn state park. Was just beautiful.

Maybe that is part of the issue. Lines go through slumps as do players. Id like to see a more balanced top two lines and have them stay together for a couple of games to see if the come together.
Sam -Eichel-KO
Pouliot-ROR-Kane
Fasching-ERod-Girgs
Cannon Fodder
Tweaking the lines sure. But the 1 year contracts of Pouliot and Josefson kind of said gap fillers for this season.
The Okposo situation this past off season I can see as a reason for him to need time to ramp up. But the most concerning situations are ROR, Girgensons and Reinhart. All have digressed severely this season and that impact is huge imo.
And that's just the forward ranks, the defense appears to be a core talent issue. Combine that with untimely inconsistencies in late game netminding from time to time and we can see why the team is severely faltering imo.
Sorry, I know its depressing. I just can't help but chuckle when it comes to blaming the coach. How many coaches in a row are we going to throw under the bus before we turn to the players and say, "hmmmm, so and so is better than this talent wise. We know so because we've seen so. WTF is wrong with them"?Your chuckling/laughing is hardly a convincing counterpoint to my assertion. But at least someone is amused at the situation.

Not to single you out, but.....I have this bad feeling that Phil is just in panic mode, and that in this panic, he can't even correctly assess which lines are working and which are not.
It seems like line combinations are changed even after we win a game, or at least have an extremely competitive game. It seems like things start working, but it doesn't sink in to Phil that it's working. Is there any truth to this, or am I mis-remembering?
I chuckle every time I see a post like this.
Phil has tried multiple line combos multiple times. I hardly believe he's panicking. Management and the coaching staff are well aware what they have in the players roster wise.
Panicking.....lol
