Never NEVER Give-up

Nope. Seriously - How can I care when they don't? They're coasting. Win one (fat & happy), then they lose one or more (& get pissed), then play well again. Beat the Rangers, lose to the Blues, Canes, Preds & Wings, beat the Bruins, lose to the Habs, beat the Coyotes, lose to the Avs - look out Golden Knights!! Until they as a team and organization care - I can't. I'll check in, and when I see them down 3-0 before getting a shot, I check out.

Anyone have a url for live stream?. I have Hulu and used to get espn+ on it, but it’s now on a higher tier! @#$&*()

Again?!?!? I thought he passed years ago! (?)

Thanks!

If the new line combination of Peterka - Dylan cousins - jack Quinn ever takes off, they'll have a great name for their line: PDQ!!

Does anyone know if there is any means by which we can see the Sabres game tonight? (Aside from buying a ticket and going to Columbus!)

Wait a sec . . . We get a #1, an everyday defenseman and a #2 next year for Risto and all we get back for Sam is prospect goalie Devon Levi & a seventh-round pick in 2020 who will play this year at Northeastern University?!?!?!? THAT may be the hold-up!! Unless Levi walks in as starter - we're getting nothing in return IMO. Reinhart is more valuable than an injured Eichel, plus his play is on the up-tick despite the sad sack team we were last year (even played well under the soccer coach)! I'm hoping this is why the deal isn't done + we face Florida all the time and it'll be a nightmare if we give him away for nothing of value and have to see him 8 times each year!.

They say the bounty for Eichel should include "John Beecher and restricted free agent winger Jake DeBrusk, along with a robust high draft pick package". But that it may take "including a young D-man like Charlie McAvoy or Brandon Carlo too". I would say a deal starts with Pastranak and a credible center - then we can go from there. Otherwise the Botterill firing may be the 1st positive step the organization has taken since getting Krueger to steer the ship, and getting rid of it's best player for a bunch of complimentary pieces would be self-defeating.

Hence the issue with Skinner not having any help!

I'm sorry, what does this mean?

As Marv used to say, "if you start listening to the fans it won't be long before you're sitting with them".

I'd love to see Scott Arniel as an assistant. He's a great power play and offensive coach with some head coaching experience. Sabres had the leagues best power play when he coached it. Though he is Caps Asst Head Coach now.

See "Pittsburgh".

And then, depression set in . . . . I honestly feel sorry for these guys. They look pathetic, like trumpet players without trumpets! The Sabres need a higher-energy coach that detests losing and will continually push his/her players until they build habits that lead to wins. I don't know anything about McClellan (sp?) - maybe he's a good choice. Lindy I know and I know he wouldn't allow the head hanging. Those players that tuned him out are long gone, the last of which was Pomenville (who didn't tune him out) - so his return would not be out of the question. Resigning Skinner, obtaining a key FA or 2 and filling-out lines 2-3-4 are the main priorities for the GM. It'll be OK to churn the bottom lines and get new players in there (we can lose just as easily with them than with the likes of Sobatka, Larsson and Girgensens. Failing to get Skinner will be a PR nightmare and an insurmountable # of goals to replace.
