Too bad the Mittelstadt line was the line coming off before Phil sent the Sobotka line out and gave Tortd the matchup...
the Larsson line was rested... Phil gambled that Torts wouldn’t send the Panarin line back out after 1 shift of rest and tried to save the Larson line for the matchup...
summary: Phil ***** up.
had Phil sent the Larsson line out, he would’ve forced torts to choose between his top line facing our best checking line, or waiting a shift and having to face the eichel line again.
phils choice was stupid
You are truly insufferable.

Harrington's article this morning is pretty good. Botterill needs to make a couple of trades to show the players the front office cares and wants to make the playoffs. I understand the long range plan and not mortgaging the future, but that to me is a false dichotomy. You can trade a pick or two or a prospect or two to get help now--especially if you take on $$$-- without giving up the core of the "future." Botterill may not have gone through it or caused it, but a decade of futility requires calling an audible on the plan, especially when the Sabres still have a real shot at making the playoffs. And making the playoffs, more than an extra pick or two, will do more to accelerate the "process" of winning a Cup than anything else. You need to start somewhere.

I haven't updated in a long time, but check out:
I need to add the last 10 or 20 games, but my guess is the Sabres are near the "need to be one of the best teams in hockey" for a while to get on track.
They've certainly squandered a good streak. They only need to play .500 in points after that and I'm not sure they're even doing that.
Thanks. I agree they need a hot streak to really get back into it. I don't see it right now either, but it's good to know. Maybe 10 is a tad low.

With 54 points and 34 games left, I figure that the team can only lose about 10 more games in regulation and make the playoffs. Roughly 20 10 4, give or take. Does that seem about right? It would give me a better way to countdown the season realistically when games resume. Thanks!

Good on you, some grit. Board gets so whiny at times.

Not if Toronto, Tampa Bay, NYI or Montreal have anything to say about it. All of those teams are on the rise, and for good reason, they have speed and finishers and that is the way this league is headed.
2025?

Honestly what do we have in the stables? Nylander? Oloffson? Not seeing many game changers in our system to turn us into a contender. JBot is going to have to go trade/FA market. This team is a .500 type fringe organization long term if no moves are made. It's a shame because we have a franchise center and D man and we still can't win.
2022 is when our window opens. Book it.

Yup...wasting the first part of Eichel's golden years... anyone drafted this year is likely 2-3 years from impact
Ah, so sad to waste the golden years.

When will players drafted this year be ready to contribute on a contending team? How old will Eichel be by then?

Team has limited talent. Hanging for 50 minutes to a team like TB and losing is the best you can hope for.

Lehner seems so controlled. I wonder how his coaching changed, if that is, indeed, involved.
Given that he was playing with undiagnosed bi-polar disorder and was addicted to drugs and alcohol when he self-medicated, I suppose getting medical treatment changed a lot.

Was at the game last night with my daughter. Excellent game. Sabres could not finish, but Holtby had a lot to do with that. He really stood on his head. Without the Hutton brain fart--and it happens to everyone-- would have gotten at least a point. Loved the Sabres' game in the 3rd especially. Tough loss. But this team is so much better than before night in and night out-- except against Florida.

Now that they've lost 12 in a row, I am done with this team.

That card brought tears to my eyes, although I really don't know why.?
