KC Scouts

I'm on the trade Sam Reinhart train. He does nothing for me, soft play, rarely scores a significant goal. Twice last night he was all alone in front of net with oodles of time and can't put it in. Reinhart is not worth the money he is going to want. He may be one of a few players on our squad other teams are interested in. I'm convinced he's a dud for the Buffalo Sabres, he may succeed somewhere else but not here mostly because he does not live up to the expectations of living up to where he was drafted. Look no further than the Edmonton players of the same ilk.

Right on the money as far as the Bills are concerned. I'm enjoying the ride as well but its an unfinished project. They are two good drafts away, 2-3 quality free agent pick ups (because they will lose players as well) and a fairly large improvement in the QB before we can say they are a consistent winner that can go deep into playoffs.

I agree, we opened a 4-1 lead after the altercation, and lets face it. Sergachev was challenged to a fight he didn't have time to think of the ramifications.

Well, it fits the narrative but we lost because we suck, no matter what we do. We do need the toughness, whether its manufactured or not. Tampa was misfiring in the first period, should have had at least 2 goals, this could have been a 10 goal game if they were "on" tonight. But not taking their Sh*t is a big deal and we failed at that too

I can see both sides of the fighting/toughness argument 1) We need to.be tougher/ more physical AS A TEAM and on a consistent basis, it means nothing if you don't do it consistently 2) Taking bad penalties will only hurt us 3) Getting even does matter, Psychologically. I'm sorry, anybody who has played any contact sport knows why. Its in your DNA, if not you're a loser and you don't belong out there.Look no further than our last two opponents for a frame of reference

I gave my tickets away tonight, Thursday and contemplating giving away Saturdays. I have no desire to watch this cr** in person.

Agreed. This bunch of pansies aren't going to generate that toughness that "arises"

OMG the rationalization and excuses from the locker room, Ugh!!!

How does Pegula take this without blowing a cerebral artery? I mean, he's a fan, we know it, he also happens to be the owner. If it were Pegula, Botterill wouldn't have a place to hide if I was in the building.

Watching Eichel get interviewed is painful, he really just wants to scream.

Yes, We cant even do that right

Honestly, this is not a playoff team, let em sink...er...tank...er whatever ? DO I HEAR PHIL HOUSELY AND DISCO DAN LAUGHING?

As for Pegula: he can't be bothered right now because of the Bills....but WHAT IS IT GOING TAKE TO GET SOME REACTION FROM THE FRONT OFFICE

These teams just laugh at us....

Fire them both. Botterill and Krueger

Another cheap shot from Kucherov, will someone please run him! Could give a cr** about this game

Pathetic. Putrid PowerPlay, at least 7 shots that went wide

Thats a gutless, heartless team....

Wow, just wow. I've met some people who don't know where they stand in the workplace but wow. Who is Erod's agent Mr Magoo?

Based on what we know of Ralph, that would seem to be the script. I wish we had a team that could stick up for each other, play with an edge etc. But we don't have that (understatement), but maybe for tonight we get a little aggression, a pulse. We need something or its going to be a miserable final 40 games

I didn't insinuate or advocate for dirty. Playing hard, checking hard and challenging another player to fight is not dirty but that's what the intention was by bringing this guy in. I'd much rather be talking about that new 30 goal scorer, but I don't see that happening

I have no problem with the Sabres (Dalton Smith) going after Cernak or any other Lightning player for that matter (Kucherov deserves a beating too but he won't get it). I hope Dalton goes for it, I really do. Sending a message has been long overdue! It should have been done right away but that is the bugaboo that has followed this team for a long time. However, If they are going to do it, they had better be ready for retaliation and if they don't have the stomach for that, don't do it.

Of course not, Too man Euros in general sense, I can't help it if Botts fell in love with him in Pittsburgh

Absolutely....As I sat there at the game on Friday, I said, "They are so much bigger than us, just look at them, how does J Bot not see this?" and the guy next to me nearly choked from laughing so hard..

The 'little speedy guys" are nice if you have 1 or 2 or them not 6 or7. Way too many Euros
