    Okay let me try this a different way. Clearly you don't follow.

    The composition of the bottom six on this roster is weak and highly flawed. It's a mish mash of has been veterans, cast offs, and not there yets or wannabes. It simply doesn't measure up against better teams and it lacks role and identity. 

    To put this in it's simplest terms, if you have your two top lines set, the team needs a checking line and an energy line. Lines that play solid D and keep the score even (at least). Shut down players preferred and 2 way toughness like Marcus Foligno as mentioned earlier. Since you don't have that guy ready and he may not be in Rochester, you are best off to fill those holes with the best player available now.  

    Zemgus, occasionally hits people, and he can play harder, so he'd be fine to lead a good 4th line with two tougher and more physical players than we currently have. Ideally you'd like Czikas-Clutterbuck-Martin or Foligno-Nosek-Greer etc. (insert other examples if you wish) but what we have lacks that identity. 

    Kyle, imo, is washed up and done and that's what I expected and why I didn't like naming him captain. He isn't the future. For the time being however, I'd have him on the 3rd line. He's 2 way responsible and could lead that unit until he can be upgraded. I wanted Copp for that line before, now I'd target Compher. Assuming he might "want be here" blah blah blah.....

    "learn to defend themselves" okay fine, so you want Quinn, Peterka, Cozens to have to drop them now then right? You want Quinn to take on a guy like Reaves rather than having a guy like Reaves to answer for a cheap shot on Quinn? Good strategy. Quinn will feel safer when he returns to action with the full face shield for his broken face. 

    Lastly, you're in favour of players taking their sticks to opponents heads. If that isn't videogame logic idk what is. Dude, if you were on the opposing team in my day and you took your stick to one of my guy's head you'd better pray they removed you from the game and suspended you. Otherwise we'd have broken every bone in your body when we rammed you repeatedly into the boards. I don't think you've ever played hockey, so let me tell you, solid wood coming into contact with flesh and bone really really hurts. 

    Sticks to the head is indefensible. 

    LOOOOOL 

    There's no way he has 

    Loooool

    I don't like robots. In fact, I was a little disappointed that we saw Cozens carrying a case of water up to the party. At the very least it should have been a case of Blue Light. Actually, they are young and need the calories. They can drink just regular Blue.

    I'm guessing the water was for the camera.

    I like robots I think that Marvin guy is a robot hez cool 

  4. WGR has always stunk

    I called them in 2010 after the Sabres blew that series against the Bruins with that too many men penalty 

    I said Ruff should be fired and gave reasons why and that Brian Kozial guy was the one who took the call. He was so mad that he hung up on me LOL 

    Some dude named Blue Lightning called in after me that was the funniest call in I had ever heard 

    Kozial was in tears it was hilarious

    Thursday is over so I have to say it here. It’s so great when this place becomes unreadable because people continue to feed the trolls.

    I hear ya man these trolls are getting annoying

    Two people play the same position so for you that makes them the same. Okay I see. Very astute hockey knowledge there. 

    and there we go again with the "1990s called"  BS again as if hockey is a knitting circle now. Just checked Hockey Fights, 3 scraps tonight. Some major hits. Guess I accidentally got in my DeLorean and time travelled. Fusion power and all that. 

    ^^ This guy just refuses to disappoint 

    I'm nominating ForeverPerrault for SabreSpace Captain

    Well that was fairly impressive. 

    Probably the first time this year I've seen good team defense. Seen the offense many times but this was a 2 way game and a complete win. 

    Krebs might be coming along after all. 

    I guess it's safe to say KA got the contract extensions right. Tage and Mule are both dominant players in their own way. 

    No complaints. 

    They're at .500 now too sort of

    The Sabres are 5 points out with a better goal differential than each team they’d need to leap to get to 8th, with 52 games remaining. 

    I say the Sabres make the playoffs, sticking with my preseason prediction. 

    (Ignore earlier in thread where I said they certainly were not eliminated but that it appeared unlikely - I was high)

    High on what
