Do not forget his grunts and groans on the goals....LOL

Ok, lesson in reading..... READ THE WHOLE SENTENCE!!!! LOL That is NOT what was said. They are going to continue to not win anyways. We are not even close to the top 6 teams and we play them a lot in the last 20. I am saying if we fall, fall enough to be in the sweepstakes for top pick. I want playoffs first, but as that is seemingly less likely, a shot at #1 ...

That if we are not going to make the playoffs (Highly likely) that we fall enough to at least have a shot at top pick. Strong draft get a good pick. If we are not going to make the playoffs, might as well pick high! All i am saying.... LOL

For the single game sample size, he is what we need. Looked comfortable and was hard to play against. All that with no practices and not much knowledge of our defensive plan (Do we even have one?) We need one more of him please!

Not really expecting much if anything by us. I will say the unpopular thing.... if we lose the next few while Tuch and Dahlin are out, and we start slipping and sliding out of the race, then i want to drop low enough to have a shot at lottery for the #1. 7-10 is easily achievable with our schedule and the team as is. They achieved their goal of being in a playoff race in march, right? Win/Win? In case you have not figured out the sarcasm .........

So, thoughts on the 1/2 of the game that managed to stomach through: - Refs are pieces of *****. The game was close until they had to start sticking their noses in. That UPL call was utter B/S. That just happened to open the floodgates. - Stillman: Not a bad first game. Liked what i saw with the small sample size. - Missing 2 of our top 3 players is this teams death rattle for the playoffs. There is just not enough talent left to overcome our rough schedule. - If we are going to miss the playoffs, we need to fall far enough to be in on the #1 pick. (Not that i do not think that is going to happen anyways!) - Plan or no plan, This is on KA. We were that close and he had the opportunity, and unless he takes a swing today, he blew it. You cannot win a cup unless you make the playoffs. We are there right now, but help is needed!!! - Krebs: Love his game!!! Now one of my favorite players! Love that he plays hard against anyone!! Not afraid to hit and be a pest. This team needs another just like him. Not a bad first 1/2 of the game and then until the last 5 when this team threw up all over themselves. We are not even in the same universe as the top teams. We were shown our place!

Time to exit... down 2 this team has zero shot. here is going for next game.

Well.... this is counterproductive to making the playoffs. Glad we got Stillman to help us!!!

Eklund has Sabres in on Domi.....LOL

I did a post about the east earlier. Top 6 in the east are all better then the West IMO

That the bruins are placing themselves in cap hell for now? Who would not love that as a Sabres fan! LOL

LMAO Love it, right?

I have always hated the college draft rules. Especially now with the Entitled generation. Ok, so i am older and believe that you should play with whomever drafted you, but there are other entitled folks too throughout the NHL times that would not play with whomever drafted them. Either way, this rule should be changed.

Espn+ is a lot cheaper as i get it in a bundle with Disney+ and Hulu. Better then paying $150 + for CI (Which i used to do)

Agree, it will be because our defense is not defensively responsible. (Ok, most of the offense is not good at defense either!)

Pastrnak Extended in Boston. 11.25 AAV/Eight years

Yuchhhhhhh i would rather have ESPN plus! Although i use an app to change my location so i can watch sabres games against NY and NJ games on my phone. MSG+ may be good for Buffalonians, but those of us in the NY markets it will not

Yes, and no.... We have Dahlin, Power, and Muel which are a great top 3, but we do not have that lock down physical defensive defenseman that will protect the front of the net. If we were not scoring 6 a game we would not be close to a playoff spot. Our defense is defensively terrible!

Not just defense..... most of the teams added sandpaper to their rosters. This is not good for the Sabres as they seriously lack there. You really do not want your top players in the scrums. Losing Dahlin, Cozens etc to a stupid fight or hit. I get this is not the 70's but teams a re still looking for that grit we really do not have. Ok, Stillman supposedly has, but how much ice time is he really going to get?

Totally agree.... this perpetual build is getting fan weary. Not chasing our need now when we are this close is a huge disappointment

The GM's job is to always looking to make the team better. We are on the cusp to making the playoffs, and the GM is too worried about sticking to his plan then trying to make the team better. I will admit , the deadline has NOT come and gone and he still has a chance to do do that, but IMHO if he does not he is no better then Krueger. No vision to see outside his own plan to make the team better. Include/Exclude whatever trades that happened already, there was obvious upgrades at good prices that could have been had! I will hold out hope we improve, but if we do not KA is showing a not so great trait as a GM. The inability to see outside of his own box to do what he has to do.

Well, i know deadline is not up yet, but i would be surprised if we get better for the push. I think KA is going to steadfast to sticking to his plan. Problem with his plan if that our kids are not going to fix our biggest problems. He is eventually going to have to pull someone in to fix them. He needs to stop shopping at Pic N Save (Is that place still around??) And trade for higher quality. Especially in the defensive dman department! I do not mind not getting Timo of the dman from ARZ, but a lot of very useful players have been traded already at decent prices. KA cannot let his plan stop him from making the team better now. We have more capital then we can actually use. Use them and make this damn team better to get in the playoffs!!!!

Love this move

Well we just got screwed.... not only we do not get, someone trying to pass us gets him. If KA does nothing, hell will break loose
