Would that be Krebs first win in a fight? I don't remember him ever getting the better of anyone.

Hopefully we sign Brannstrom so we can collect all the Brysons. Any other Brysons we can trade for? ftr this was a joke, i really like Brannstrom on the amerks. he has a lot more offensive pop than bryson

Our call ups aren't exactly lighting it on fire, are they? I don't think Rosen has an NHL point yet. Maybe he's due

Wonder if we also see our friend Dennis Gilbert? This game might be feisty

I think I remember seeing a stat that with Tuch.. other teams were scoring once every 33ish minutes while JJ is on the ice. Without Tuch, it was like once every 13 minutes while JJ is on the ice. I don't remember the source, so there's a chance I might be misremembering that.

that's how you move the puck on the powerplay!

it's funny... i'll complain about how meaningless this game is and how bad the team is. but once the season ends I will miss Sabres hockey immediately.

Tired of seeing these same dudes. It would be one thing if we were winning..

Brett murray's greatest moment came in an allstar game

I agree completely. He didn't light the qmjhl on fire, so there is definitely still a question of whether he can play over here. But he looks like someone that has taken some big steps since then and warrants an offer of a contract. Obviously, it's hard to translate these things from league to league, but I'm guessing his floor is decent AHL player at this point.

agree with the other three, but pretty strongly disagree on marjala. he's likely already capable of being a good ahl player. point per game player this year in finland's top league and rookie of the year in liiga the year before. i would be extremely surprised if the sabres don't offer him a contract. however, given that his success has been primarily in europe and he is already a top player on his team, i wouldn't be surprised if he wants to stay in europe

I forget that he exists sometimes. Looks like he has had some pretty good year over year improvement down in jville. Hopefully his skating is improving.. that was always the big knock on him

Nice comeback! Rosen with goal to tie it 3-3 at end of third period. Amerks end up winning in shootout.

Is kulich eligible for the playoffs

i remember joey bosa eating our old friend nathan peterman alive during that 5 interception game

I didn't specify regulation wins or regulation/overtime/so wins, so it could have interpreted it that in a bunch of ways i suppose. Regardless, thanks for the info. I think I do vaguely recall a longish winning streak during the eichel years.

They've had two seven game winning streaks in one season? That's wild. According to chatgpt, the last time the sabres had a seven game winning streak was about 20 years ago... "The Buffalo Sabres' most recent seven-game winning streak occurred during the 2006–07 NHL season. This streak was part of a longer 15-game winning stretch that spanned from April 8, 2006, to October 28, 2006, bridging the end of the 2005–06 season and the start of the 2006–07 season."

there was some speculation on the baker-fairburn podcast that Pegula simply doesn't want to pay KA to not be the GM. they are letting him ride out the remainder of his contract. my memory is that they said there was one year left?

I was counting krueger as well. You can debate whether that is fine or not. But quite honestly, it is beside the point I was trying to make. This group of players has been unsuccessful for years. Lindy inherited an unsuccessful group of players. And wasn't able to pick his own assistant coaches to help get his message through to the players.

I didn't say he was free from blame. However, what I did imply is you shouldn't be putting this squarely on his shoulders when he inherited a team that had minimal turnover and hasn't made the playoffs for a decade plus. Didn't even get to choose his own assistant coaches. It's pretty much last years team with a different fourth line. Sure, are they a little worse? Yep. But would they have made the playoffs with a different coach? No, i don't believe so. Do you think a different coach is going to have this roster (prior to the cozens trade) in the playoffs?

I'm not going to dump on lindy because all of the coaches that have tried with this group have failed. At some point, you have to say that this is on the players because they aren't talented enough, they are mentally fragile, they are injury prone, and the team isn't deep enough to sustain injuries to their best players. Obviously, by saying "it is the players", this also implicates the gm since he assembled the group of players (and coach fwiw). That and he was stuck with the same group of assistant coaches. Undoubtedly, he deserves some of the blame as the skipper of this sinking ship. But I'm not willing to put a large portion of the blame on him

B if Norris stays healthy. I like it.

I think that honor goes to the loss to the Avs.. but this one is definitely up there!

Murray had a longish stint with the sabres a few years ago and he seemed to fit. I was surprised at the time that he was sent down

amerks win in 5 round shoot out vs marlies. helenius with the goal in the shootout and levi with the shutout. nice win!
