Last 4 seasons - Top US Goals scorers: GP G NHL Rank Mathews 295 202 1 Thompson 303 158 11 Conner 308 153 13 Robertson 320 151 14 Kreider 310 149 15 Guentzel 301 147 16 It's time to say goodbye Kreider and hello Tage. He can play wing or center in the NHL. The guy has proven he can score goals playing with Tuch, Skinner, Benson, Peterka, Kulich. He will make the team if healthy and scoring.

Would love to see Tage and Tuch make the team and get GOLD!

Buffalo memories are good thread, especially for us old timers. For people in just about any era it seems that reflecting about the "good old days", even if they were not really that good, provides a psychological benefit to people. I love Buffalo and WNY nostalgia.

D meant poor but passing when I went to school. Essentially you did not learn the material adequately, but they were pushing you along. The Sabres current front office gets an F (fail). So does the one before that, and the one before that. Ranking them 32nd out of 32 is correct.

There is no player that could save them. The problem is at the TOP. They need an exceptional executive running the team. Someone that Terry trusts enough to only provide token support to. Like he does with the Bills. Until that happens we have Terry running Hockey Ops and they will continue to struggle.

Tuch will be a UFA so they could lose him. If Dahlin and Tage ask to leave because of another failed season it would be epic incompetence. How anyone can defend the past 14 years is beyond me. A lot of eggs are in the basket of a coaching staff that looked outmatched last season.

Hire the right POHO/GM and maybe he doesn't have to rebuild, just retool.

I like big. I like big, skilled, and tough even better. Hoping to see more physical presence and toughness to go with the height.

Dahlin would thrive on any of the other 31 teams, he is a star player. Sure, Krueger held him back, he was not an NHL HC either. He was just another failed Terry Pegula hire.

You should add some golf clubs.

Kesselring and Simmons might as well be Chris Pronger and Rod Langway. Its all about team defense, which includes the forwards. I have been pounding the table that the Granato system was not a proper NHL system, it looked more like an all star team system that you throw together for a temporary team that has lots of skill. We still have Granato's defensive coach, Marty Wilford, under Ruff. We still have Matty Ellis. Why is this coaching staff still intact?

And so has the coaching

RIP Art.

Pete or PASabresFan or Stoner?

I like Ray for his humor on ice (in the box) but i prefer Marty for his technical insights to the game. I would like to hear more of Marty in near real time instead of waiting until in between periods. If they used both that would mean less Dan, which is actually good, and maybe Dan could focus on keeping up with the play by play. Sometimes Dan is completely lost and talking about other things. He rarely verbally keeps track of puck possession and where the puck is on the ice. If he improved his play by play it would also greatly improve the radio coverage. He is terrible on the radio and needs the TV visual to cover his sloppy play by play.

Sabre FO discussing the hiring of Lindy.

These videos are garbage. The intent is to show collaboration and an organization with a plan. I see scripted messaging. Still waiting for results.

Cook getting a $4M $48M 4 year extension. Hard Knocks will probably pick this up in Episode 3. Bills set the tone of a well run franchise. In Beane We Trust.

He did.

So you don’t like him?

We are in hockey doldrums. The big off season moves are over and most fans are skeptical on Adams and Ruff The Bills have all the buzz in town, as usual. New season, Josh Allen, Hard Knocks, etc. Tre White is back but the goalie camp remains closed. The Sabres season tickets are down to 9,000 and Canadians are not coming over nearly as much. Terry Pegula is basking in Bills fever and he made a somewhat telling comment last week.. His comment on the Bills was “ you don’t have to micro-manage when you have competent people running things”.
