Yeah I have. Its hockey, even a bad game I like to have it on the TV while I do other things around the house. If its a good game they are winning, I'm glued to the TV. So yeah.
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 find the "soft" talk - both here on this bard and elsewhere on teh interwebs (Twitter mainly) - to be ... well, not what I'd prefer to see from fellow Sabre fans. That's putting it as charitably as I can.
The player being "injury prone" is a fair discussion, or even observation.
But soft? The guy's not soft. He's unlucky, apparently. And, yes, probably injury prone. Dude had to pack it in so that he could get surgery. But that doesn't make him soft.
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 noticed while flipping channels but this game is also on the CW channel, atleast in the Buffalo area. Arena looks packed. Nice to see. And Bandits look like they are cooking.
I think CW has carried all of the games this season.

WNY food is elite
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.

As an Amerks season ticket holder I can tell you that yes, they are pretty good. The problem is that their players are exactly what the Sabres already have. Small, decently skilled, pretty good speed but soft as h*ll. They are the exact same team, PP is terrible, PK is terrible and 5 on 5 is pretty good. Nobody here is replacing anyone there because they play the exact same game.
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.

Meanwhile, in Buffalo...
We need a Big Lebowski opening with "Tumblin' Tumbleweeds" video running.

I just heard a stat that Edmonton was perfect in January and did not gain any ground on Vancouver. The canucks played 2 extra games, but that's pretty crazy.
That is almost unreal.

Actually, maybe they can't, not as a team. What does the contract say exactly?
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.

Never give in!
It is certainly not mandated that the players go on a vacation. Time off, sure.

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

Yeah i'm gonna be that Old person that yells at a cloud..
But I can't be the only one that is annoyed with this team Going to cabo for the "break" When they did absolutely nothing to deserve a vacation.
I mean holy s*** Don't they get enough vacation time when they aren't in the playoffs .
You would think maybe they would come together and be like you know what guys let's Practice everyday instead of taking the vacation so we're ready .
Never mind it's probably all the alcohol that's flowing through my veins
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?

You all need to be more patient. It's only fair to give Matt Ellis a few more years to learn how to coach the power play.
Welcome back! And what a zinger to return on!

Sabres are tied for 6th in regulation wins in the conference lol
8th in regulation or OT wins
Tied for 10th in wins
Tied for 13th in points
…So we aren’t getting enough OT wins, S/O wins, and loser points. Those are getting subbed for outright losses
Regulation losses: tied for 2nd last
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 think @mjd1001 is an Actuarial Scientist.
Either that or he just made it all up off the top of his head. Like mosts stats are.
(insert that winkie thingie here)
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 know there is a lot of frustration being thrown at the lack of moves by Adams, by me too, but there is no way they are running it back next season. Absolutely no chance.
I don't think they will be super quiet come trade deadline, but this summer is very important for them. Gotta shake this team up. I wish it was with the coach as well but at the very least player wise.
I hope that you are right, but I am not confident.

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.

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?
