What injury prone players. Devon Levi only played 7 games last year. Clifton and Big Johnson were not on the team.
Samuelsson, Tuch and TNT. Levi is unproven as an NHL starting goalie. He's never even had close to that sort of workload.

I'm going to simply say this: I don't think the Sabres are making the playoffs this year either. They never addressed a goalie tandem, the defense looks rough and the forwards are still soft. Add to it injury-prone players and very, very tough competition in the Eastern Division.
I hope they prove me wrong.

The soft tissue injuries concern me. Injuries in general concern me very much. Particularly, Tuch, EJ, TNT, Samuelsson and Savoie. Okposo doesn't concern me so much as he has little function on the ice anymore.

Tampa Bay is looking for a goalie in Vasilevskiy's absence. Here are three choices. The most intriquing choice to me is 31 year old journeyman Louis Domingue of the Rangers (Shesterkin and Quick are ahead of him). He has a .905 save percentage in 142 career NHL games and from 2017-1019 was 28-8 with a 2.88 GAA and .910 save percentage. He spent 2022-23 in the AHL. I like him better than Luukonen or Comrie. Do something. Please address the goaltending!

Hey, Cal Petersen just got put on waivers. 😕

So, is UPL gonna make this team? Or will it be Comrie? Maybe the UPL experiment is over? I didn’t see game, just asking for opinions.
I hope neither. Hate 'em both. Get a legitimate goalie and don't cheap out on these half-baked projects.

We're getting dominated.

I hear Luukonnen is supposed to play the whole game. If he ***** the bed, I wonder what's going to happen?

Timely topic for me. My 2009 Pontiac Vibe is a Jerry Korab chest hair shy of 170k miles. It might very well outlive me. But I'm starting to hear rumbles and grumbles and don't want to be caught without a vehicle while trying to buy one. It feels like the time is right. Not to mention that I think I can sell Betty for about what I paid for her in 2015! Neat trick.
I am not a car guy and my ego will not suffer if I buy a new car at the low end of the spectrum. There are surprisingly nice and good cars just south and north of 20k. Good fuel economy and safety features, just likely lacking in pizzaz and certainly lacking in performance (does zero to 60 mean anything really?).
Anyone have a recommendation? I basically drive around town/around the area with an occasional short road trip. I like hatchbacks.
Hey, I'm not a car guy and I had an idea to buy American cars for life but after my last few crapped out on me, I got disgusted and found this guy Scotty Kilmer on youtube. Scotty's been a mechanic for over 50 years and he tells the truth. Plus he's from Niagara Falls (you can hear the Buffalo accent).
I ended up buying a 2011 Toyota Camry with 46K miles for $7500 and I'm loving life. You can see what he recommends to buy on this page, whether it's new, used or cheap etc. If you're interested in what he has to say about particular cars, you can type in Scotty Kilmer and the car you're thinking of. On the whole, I think he recommends Toyotas and Hondas. I recommend subscribing to Scotty's channel/look and listen to his entertaining diatribes.

More impressive still was Skinner batted that pass out of the air just prior to the score. It would've gone over any mere mortal's stick.

Lately it looks like Buffalo is going back to a team that can't score. 🤢

Passing looks shaky. Pass it to the stick please, not the feet. They will go high on Levi. Ryan Johnson looks too fancy.
-
I'd finally like to see Tuch-Thompson and Skinner together. Don't mess with success.
-
Any progress on Savoie? He seems to be the forgotten man here.

Trade. For. A. Good. Goalie.

Anyone know why the electronic backboards were at some point, flashing WIN BRUINS with the Bruins logo -- in Buffalo? It was also flashing Rangers logos and the word "Overtime" even though there was no overtime. I don't get it.

Always hear it as an homage when Dunleavy does that rather than a rip off.
And personally like hearing that "blast from the past."
(As a kid, never could figure out how he knew where everybody in the crowd was from. Didn't catch on to the joke until later. D'oh!)
Last year, I heard Jack Edwards try to cop the "Top shelf where mama hides the cookies." It didn't work. You don't get anywhere in life trying to pay "homage" to legends. You get called out as a cheap imitator. You have to be original and carve your own legend.
-
I'm listening to the radio feed and have to call Dan Dunleavy out. This is the second time that I've heard him steal shtick from the long-dead Ted Darling.
For those of you too young, Ted Darling was the original Sabres pbp man. He was from HNIC, his diction was impeccable and he was a bit of a know-it-all. He was such a know-it-all that he claimed to even know the origin city of the person who caught the puck when it was shot into the crowd.
Dan, we know you're copying Ted's shtick, not thinking that there are fans who knew anything about it. It's a cheap copy. Get your own gimmicks, don't pass Ted Darling's off as your own.
Sheesh!🤬

But they are last in the NHL in hits. Poor in faceoffs too. The iffy situation in goal is also concerning. These problems should be addressed.

Hard No.

Would you call our top six small? I think they are kind of on bigger side, aside from Skinner. Mitts has turned into a bull, too
Maybe they are just small when we draft them and they just grow into man bodies later.
The whole team doesn't hit, that's been fairly established. With Tuch-Thompson-Skinner and Cozens-Quinn-Peterka we have maybe one guy who hits, Cozens, and he's more known for finesse. We have to trade for hitters. Why can't we draft them? Rob Ray was 6' 220 in his playing days. You don't have to be huge to hit, you just have to have the hitting mentality, which our guys don't have. Even Clifford, who seems to be a designated hitter for the defense, to make up for our other d-men who are more known for their finesse game, is only 5'11 175.
