I realize this is totally irrational but I look at the Sabres next seven games as A-H-A-H-A-A-A. The difference is so stark in the way they play at home versus the road and I see 5-2. Forget the crowd but isn't there supposed to be some tactical advantage to playing at home?

Some PBP announcers too … that RJ fella comes to mind. I’m now going to crawl out of the rabbit hole of unimportant issues.

The Office of Player Nickname Mediation suggests RJo. Under no circumstances can it be RJ. None.

So who do the Sharks have that KA should be talking to them about to help the Sabres? Certainly SJ seems to be in a mode of wanting to add some prospects.

I don’t believe so but THAT would be horrible.

Not going back to look it up. But I REALLY feel sorry for whoever it was that spent a good part of the day on a bus to watch this display. I sure hope the food made the trip worthwhile. Seriously, sorry.

NHL working OT making sure you can’t see it’s product.

@Spoonman I got it thanks. Glad I missed the first four minutes. Yikes!

Just tried to snarf a free trial on a streaming service that carry NHL Nerwork for tonight and tomorrow. Only two - Sling and Fubo - have it. Sling only offers discount on the first month. Fubo has a 7-day free trial. Gave them a different email address and different credit card info than before. Kept getting denied. They must be on to the fact I did a free trial previously to watch the World Juniors, I think. Bastards outsmarted me. Radio then next day replay on ESPN+. ☹️

Got to watch that game last night because it wasn’t on NESN or otherwise blacked out. My goodness do the Bruins play great defense, and that includes the forwards, in front of their goaltender. Their structure is quite good. I can see why their Dmen can be interchangeable. I bet they don’t give up many ‘cheapies’. And yes, it pains me to write all that

Back in black (and red) Friday nite? I thought I saw UPL is 8-0-1 or some such in the goatheads.

And they may not get another if they remain committed to ‘dump in and retreat’

They’re awful at entering the zone. Have been for a couple years.

Speaking of which, Bobby Knight passed away today.

And when the Bills seemingly have gotten themselves off the field on 3rd and long there will be a flag half the time ..... five yards for something, automatic first down.

I thought it was the Pack's other corner that was yapping all the time. No?

Some of you Amerks faithful correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it generally believed Biro would have gotten the call-up late last year over Rousek, but was injured?

This is really the overarching question, isn't it? It will provide clarity to this discussion. If its a scoring line then there's lots of room for the kids along with some issues already mentioned. If its a defensive/checking line, then there won't be many roster spots available for the prospects ill-suited for that role. And I'm getting an AHL.TV subscription because ROC may have one of the all-time great AHL teams with all those high end prospects.

I'm not ready to throw in the towel on Krebs yet. Doesn't his career arc match up up CM's - who at this point most were ready to trade for a bag of pucks? To be clear, I'm not suggesting Krebs has Casey's upside. But Krebs upside may be that of a high-end 4C - which may be the only spot for him if TT, DC and CM remain as the top 3 center spine. If one of the prospects supplants him in the near future then the prospects are developing nicely.

Yet another small sign that the Sabres roster is getting better and deeper.

That's very surprising to hear. Wasn't Ray one of the more cerebral players to ever play in the NHL?

Chicago looked really solid last night. Nothing like a team in position for #1 OA just a year ago. Crazy end to the game too. Chi up 3-1 under 2mins left. TOR pulls goalie. Chi EN goal 4-1. Overturned. CHI 3-1. TOR scores under a minute left. 3-2. Goal overturned. 3-1 CHI. CHI w/EN 4-1 final. Both those observations sum up pretty well what is the NHL.

Exactly. And you can’t keep putting a depleted defense back on the field. Who, by the way, can’t get themselves off on 3rd down.

The Bills need to find a way to steal this game and get the f**k out of London.

Reply got attached to the tweet. Sorry.
