Thinking back to the 2005-7 teams, how far away are the prospects in Rochester that they could play effectively in middle-6 roles for an extended period of time? It is tragicomical that the line-up can look so much worse when 1 top-9 forward gets hurt. Who can be Stafford, Paille, MacArthur, Novotny, or even Kaleta?

That's true. I pick up around the house during games.

I wonder if they rotate in Robinson, Krebs, or Girgensons on that top line if Okposo needs the odd shift off.l As I typed that, it hit me that this might be the ideal time to get Krebs playing with more skilled guys to see if something gets unlocked

Not really. I hate that my fandom has come to this.

I advise everyone to take a look at the number of games Jim Schoenfeld played each season during the 1970's. He was not soft, but he missed a packet of games each season. We need someone like him now.

I think CW has carried all of the games this season.

The late John Nathan-Turner, former producer of Doctor Who, and his spouse, Gary Downie, said that Buffalo has great bar food. A tribute to JNT and Buffalo is in the episode "Voyage of the Damned", where the food in the bar on the main table was all his favourite Buffalo finger foods.

Welcome to the board! Thanks for that perspective. As we all suspect, GMKA will need to tear himself away from his attachment to his prospects before the team can become better-rounded.

We need a Big Lebowski opening with "Tumblin' Tumbleweeds" video running.

The Bills win a Super Bowl.

That is almost unreal.

Not officially. They could agree to meet at the rink and practice face-offs, defencive positioning, and so on without the coaches and not at Sabres' facilities. That probably would be frowned upon by the NHLPA, though.

PA is correct. They could, in theory, still work on their games.

It is part of the SPC. It was negotiated for by the NHLPA. No exceptions.

If the conspiracy theory that the NFL wants the Chiefs in the Super Bowl because of Taylor Swift is true, how should the Bills work to acquire him?

"We're gonna win that Cup..."

Welcome back! And what a zinger to return on!

I stumbled across this earlier this weekend. It sucks that the Sabres can't get critical goals to tie games to send them to OT because that is one of the primary differences with the teams above us.

Who do we have now who could play Greenway's role with Thompson and Skinner? Okposo won't last long after the All Star Break.

Why would they fire him? Their problem is goaltending, not his coaching.

I am an applied mathematician. His calculation is how I would do it. I would absolutely believe that @mjd1001 is an actuarial scientist based on the presentation.

I hope that you are right, but I am not confident.

Yes.

Mediocrity winning.

Victor Olofsson came up as a 3rd tier scorer at 50% at the TDL in my news feed. I would prefer that GMKA gets out ahead of things, but I suspect that he will hold until then.
