Night Train

Murphy was better as the color guy next to Van Miller. Yet being local, I stopped listening to the radio call years ago. Even the TV Network guys are less than stellar. Call the wrong players constantly and read bad notes on players they know little about. I posted that when I watch the Bills in my house, I play jazz music in the background.

Bullseye. I'm not hypercritical of play calling but this seems to be the norm these days with multiple announcers. Can they not see the uniform numbers and feel senseless banter is a good backup ? It;s a big comedown from Rick and Ted Darling who raised the excitement level at the proper times with precise play by play.

A reach of epic proportions. Brainwashed.

A parallel between Bedard and Benson ? That seems silly. I know who Benson is.

I think 15 goals is reasonable at his age. Still a teen and I cannot project him to some unreasonable number yet. I see upside.

Sabres have to have bounce back seasons from our top 6 guys that slumped.

There still must be teams needing to become cap compliant. I'm sure many here know the teams. Prospects/picks for NHL players has to be a real possibility for the Sabres right now.

Funny how things change. A year ago, it was " OMG, we need More Goalies ! Doomed ! " ..and UPL goes out and plays better than anyone on the roster, keeping Levi in Rochester to improve..A good thing. Meanwhile, the rest of the team slumps. Surprising to a degree on all fronts. Now we have a whole new set of concerns with Lindy ( yes, I think that's a big improvement ) and a different roster. I get it. A lot of tougher, faster players added.. but no big goal scorers it seems..We'll see how it looks come camp. Can it work ?

Agreed. Our Summers have a few brief stretches of hot days but the vast majority are great from May until early October. I spend 5 months on my deck and consider that entire time " Summer ", which I can do in retirement. I lived in Maryland and Florida during my Military days. I detested those summers.

Seems the company line is Savoie was seen as a winger and they needed a Center with speed.

Agree completely but JC..at least he tried and didn't run it back again. A real fear prior. I'll give it a chance and think one more player is coming.

Fan of True Grit.

On a side note, when did the Hockey News become a clickbait site ? Every day, they have a "rumor" of the Sabres interested in a different player. Seems baseless.

The best ability is availability.

If we trade anyone, it's this china doll.

I hope he plays well in Rochester and attributes all of his success to eating a Nick Tahou Cheeseburger garbage plate every day for lunch..

Agreed. Clifton can hit while china doll is injury prone.

I think it says more about the Athletic submitting pieces during Happy Hour...

Krebs, Bryson and a Dairy Queen Buster Bar.

Because he shoots right, unlike everyone else.

I didn't read he was soft at all. They(Edm) are in cap trouble and I wouldn't be surprised to see another trade with other teams with cap issues.

Center on the 3rd line. Fine by me. Good size and speed.
