Will do. Didn’t realize that there was a disclaimer in the game day thread. You know, there is this thing called YouTube where it is possible to watch highlights.

Um, because I can.

Wallowing? Lol. Yeah, I’m wallowing over a team that still has no direction and is heading for year can’t count that high without the playoffs. Hell, I didn’t even watch again because I find better things to do.

Step in the right direction? We’ve won 3 in a row before then went on a 13 game losing streak. This team has NO direction. GM She-vyn complains nobody wants to come here. This is part of the reason why. No backbone. Who cares if it was already called a major. And at this point, who cares about a win. If I were Tage I’d ask for a ticket outta here. What star player would want to be here if he knows nobody has his back?

Unfortunately, TPegs sees things in dog years

I'm confused. That's him in the middle. Unless we're talking about two different tournaments.

I didn’t look at his size. You had said Bedard ish so I assumed. And you what happens when one assumes!! 😊 And wasn’t Martone Captain of the U-18?

He's a big guy that doesn't play big. He spends way too much time on the perimeter (as does everyone on this team). He's a much better PK guy because of his length Too generous with Cozens... He should be serving a Girgensons old role on the fourth line. And even then he would be useless.

I'd be down with a Bedard ish guy in the lineup. I personally would think someone like Martone and the bigger frame would be a better fit for this team. Too many smaller bodies in the pipeline already. Plus I like that he was wearing the "C" for Team Canada. And Misa wasn't invited to the tournament?

Who is a good comparison to Misa? I watched some video on both and was pretty impressed with Martone. He reminds me of a better skating Corey Perry and couldn't figure out who Misa compares to. And if Buffalo gets the #2 pick (which is a pretty good possiblity) would either of those two be a better fit than Hagens?

Kubel woulda played better had we had palm trees

Is there a Wonderlic test for NHLers? BC these guys make so many dumb decisions with the puck.

We have them right where they want us!!

Geez.. Laine is only 26? Seems like he’s been in the NHL for 15 years AND he looks 39

I continue watching simply for the comedic value

Really think we have a chance to shatter our NHL record 18 game winless streak. This might extend into February

Yet again, I am able to plan a late spring vacation without the fear of missing Sabres playoff games!

Who wouldn’t want to go to war with these guys!?!?!

Jokiharju/Power… yep

I wasn’t able to see the press conference. What did the dipsh$t have to say that was important?

That's the key to this whole debacle. He has so little trust of anyone outside his circle. Seems like yesterday everyone here was clamoring over this bright and shiny new owner that was willing to spend money and bring "multiple cups" to Buffalo. Little did we know how toxic he is.

I’ve been harping on this as well. The “core” on this team may mostly be high end 1st rounders but they are not top end talent. Even though they’re on the younger side, we’ve seen their best. It’s either poor scouting/drafting and/or poor coaching. I tend to lean towards poor scouting/drafting. They will be career underachievers at best and there isn’t much in pipeline that would suggest a bright future.

Every squirrel finds a nut once in awhile. Pegula lucked out with the Beane/McDermott hires. I go back to the Lafontaine fiasco. Something felt fishy about his departure back then and it should've been a red flag right from the start. I really think that Lafontaine would've been a great team president, overseeing the hockey department. Pegula gets his hockey ignorant hands on too many decisions.
