Why do they deserve it?
Speaking for myself, it troubles me that Dave Schultz has his name on the Cup twice while guys like Gil Perreault do not. It feels like the universe bending towards Justice.
Also, I would like all the Sabres fans who don't appreciate what they bring game in and game out to see how wrong they are.

Benson and Hedges are a cigarettes brand
Hedge - (Verb) Limit or confine oneself. Protect by compensation.
The verb "hedges" can also describe the way the team plays.
Ah, I see.

All I found are high-end cigarettes. That does not fit the comment.

I have always thought that Zemgus and Kyle would be great in the playoffs. Pity this is not 5 years ago with O'Reilly, Eichel, and Reinhart in Buffalo. (In that universe, I am undoing the O'Reilly trade and filling in the roster with reliable, if low-end, NHLers and not a bunch of tweeners. Mittelstadt is in Rochester too.)

We need more Bensons. What we have are Hedges.

For those older fans...Andreychuk. he took a bigger beating than Vanek and Gausted combined....and all he did was score from there. But as a kid...I remember so many people wanting to get rid of him because he wasn't a good skater ..didn't score pretty goals....Dave Garbagetruck people would call him.
I never could understand that epithet for Andreychuk. Phil Esposito was the ultimate garbage man.

Until Owen Power becomes what he’s supposed to this team is in trouble.
A lot to ask but it’s a fact.
I’m not down on him….D men take a little time and early in their careers there are ups and downs.
But until Dahlin and Power become what we expect them to we are going to underachieve.
A new head coach can fix a lot of this.
An older, reliable, defencively responsible partner would help.

Someone said earlier in this thread that the Sabres are a fraction of a second slower in reacting than the Blues are. That tells me that they have not internalised how the system works yet.

I have a feeling Ellis survives any purge of the coaching staff, being a Pegula Favorite has its advantages
How did that happen? And is it possible that he could be canned for sheer incompetence?

This team is not good when they are not at full strength, are they. And when they are healthy, they still are not that good.

And this was in my first comment, although I was thinking next season. Should we replace Mitts with either Rosen/Savoie/Kulich we are looking at a 2-3 year learning curve in the NHL. It's like we are running in place.
We need to get stronger up the middle, even if we keep Mitts.
I agree. We should not replace Mittelstadt with yet another youngster.

We extended Tage at a similar age? Over the last 365 days Mitts has been the outright better player. What about Tuch? UPL is 4 months older?
Also if a 25 year old player is "too old" to see this thing through in year 4 of this FO, WTF ARE WE DOING!!!!!!
Another couple of seasons of this and the Kevyn Adams era alone will make the big board for longest ever (active or not) playoff draughts in NHL history). Where does the runway end? This is bonkers.
A 25 year old is too old to go through the growing pains with this team. Jesus Christ. This team is doomed.EDIT: To be clear, it seems like we may be on similar pages here in this not making a ton of sense. Without seeing the return, I highly dislike moving on from Mitts. I am more responding to comments I have seen here and elsewhere cosigning "we aren't supposed to be good"
I was joking. I was just commenting that the team would likely go with one of the recent draft picks instead of replacing him with a veteran for the rest of the season, this making the team even younger. Mittelstadt has matured as a player and I think that he should be kept at his likely price.

This is me signing off. I don't feel like I can be part of this group anymore.
When the owner of the site calls your posts garbage, doesn't stick up for you in accordance to the site rules on attacking ideas not posters, then starts revealing what you wrote to him in a private message out in the comments in order to get his toadies to laugh at the OP, it's time.
Well, all I can say is let idiots play with idiots.
That sucks. Good luck to you.

Mittelstadt is too old to go through growing pains with the rest of his teammates. Heaven forbid that we have a solid, experienced 2-way centre on the roster.
I have been seeing speculation on this front for weeks. If true, the Adams must guarantee that he gets an equivalent or better centre first. And it shows how enamoured he is with his prospects.

Uniform?
My wife and I are friends with a couple of Mormon families. I have never had the guts to tell them that these uniforms remind me of Dilbert except that the tie is straight.

Instead of having a lottery among the bottom finishers, why not award the first overall pick in the NHL draft to the team that has missed the playoffs for the most consecutive years? There would be little to no incentive for tanking. It could keep teams from ending up in drought limbo, e.g, the Sabres.
Thoughts?
John Gianelli? Do you come to the board with $79M ($15M updated for inflation) for our best poster? Do I need to boycott KFC again? And do you plan to move SDS's server to San Diego?

I imagine that there will be men who want their beer league to be "no place for women," in the parlance of my youth. They will try to ostracise any woman who dares to play with them, will break the rules to send that message, and will compound the offence whenever possible. I personally don't care -- I grew up in a neighbourhood where boys and girls played sports together.

Whether we like it or not, genetic adult males generally are bigger, stronger, and faster than genetic adult females. So I think that keeping the genders separate makes sense.
Having said that, I have an ex-GF who played in a men's league with her wife because they were good enough and there was no women's league at the time where she lived. (Yes, her wife. Yes, I was her last BF.) She asked me what I thought of them trying out. I told her that it will be like it is for the two of them as women doing research STEM, except their are pads, skates, and sticks. They knew the deal and dished it out as well as took the hits. But that is the exception.

I am not mad at the players. I am starting to get a hate on for some the coaches and some of management. That is tempered by me recognition that Buffalo has many of the problems that Winnipeg and other teams have plus a few of Pegula's making.

Nothing about the rest of the season matters. We saw who hardly anyone thought they were and I won't let em off the hook!
Are we going to do this again? "Well, they finished really strong."
The one thing that might matter is how the coaching staff looks. Maybe that gets changed over the summer.
Not holding my breath.

Let's go, Buffalo.

You really think they would ask for that much? He’s made it clear he doesn’t want to be there.
According to fans of CBJ, an offer from Buffalo "starts with Power and Cozens."

If some of these guys are unemployed, we should bring them in now.
