Night Train

So why are they booing Eichel ?

VO's game is perfect for the finesse European game with the wider rink. He's too limited here in the NHl. PP only and his -62 career stat. A liability. How much can they actually get for him ?

Goalie..yes...but my thoughts were in line with what many here have been wanting. A couple more rugged D-men who move players out of the crease. Opposing plyers were always allowed to just stand directly in front of our net. That was obvious to this fan. Hammer them. Make them pay.Tell our goalies to watch old films of Billy Smith, who would take his stick and carve up their shins. In addition, the forwards up front would be stationary too often instead of moving.

Good grief. I heard the same presser, where basically nothing was said. How some of you folks spin things into a narrative is amazing.

Then just gun it and give us your feedback from the ICU.

Yield to the right.

Lets agree that anything KA said can be taken in multiple directions. Each poster shows their mindset, real or imagined. It's standard press conference talk , prior to the start of the off-season. Now to observe moves prior to the fall training camp.

I did agree with Paul Hamilton a couple months back when he wondered if Krebs could score a lot more if not always put on checking lines. Kills a lot of penalties. Always hustles. I think he could score more if given talented linemates with scoring ability. Regardless, he's a keeper for sure. Stands up to the bullies. Fearless in the corners. Great passer. Need more of his ilk.

Could care less about others " patience " . Who are you trying to impress here ? LOL. See your Dr. KA could be anything but he basically took over a bombed out franchise 2 years back with 10 dry years. We all get that. Eichel and Reinhart leave and the trade return turns out to be pretty good. Improvement is real. Now get some more help and make a good showing next year with the playoffs being expected. Mindset.

I wish to hear they are promoting Peca and Weber from Rochester to help on the Sabres bench. They gave up 22 goals total in their last 10 games. The kids there are selling out on D. Try and teach that to the Sabres roster.

That a way, Leaf fans. Head for the exits, cursing over the $ you wasted. False hope.

Show the plaza now. I'm guessing some jerseys are on fire.

Nice job Leafs.. This is THEIR house !

" We're dead. DEAD ! "

Loud boos from the Leaf fans after the 1st down 3-0. Music to my ears.

Blow Leafs, blow ! Continue the angina for your fans !

It's hard for me to give ANY credence to the various BS regarding the Bills draft plans. I bet Beane has a good chuckle at all the kettle heads in the media trying to tell their readers what they "know", which is nothing. Mock drafts are the worst. No harm but I pay them no mind. I have zero idea how he sees the roster right now but I have an idea about the D. Frazier is gone because they wish to scheme differently. They basically brought back the entire D, minus one LB who was vastly overpaid by Chicago. Still, both Safties have been outstanding in their service to us but father time and injuries are catching up with both. That looks like a big need, even with the signing of the Safety from the Rams. They will get another LB but drafted 2 last year. Dodson back as depth. Guys already here are not forgotten by the team..just the fans. OL is never a bad idea. Lots of talk about another WR. They just signed 2. Harty with his blazing speed takes McKenzies slot and Sherfield is actually pretty good. Shakir was just drafted. Diggs and Davis still here. We need a WR this year ? Why ? Sounds more like next year when Davis has his contract expire. We'll see. To read the biased press, we have no WR's beyond Diggs. Yeah...OK. Our biggest need is better playcalling from the coordinators. The HC is now calling the D. Dorsey seemed way too pass happy last year and too depndent on Alllen to do everything, including run. Need far more from the RB's. That includes catching the ball.

B- on the season. One game short. Very encouraged with the ability to leave the basement dwellers club behind and get into the playoff mix. Had to rally just to reach 75 points last season. Much better this year. Sabres have players that can actually score. Seemed like yesterday they were lucky to have 1 or 2 20 goal scorers. Still have A LOT to work on. 1. Winning at home . Feel bad for the season ticket holders. 2. Playing D as a team. The sheer amount of opposing breaks. Too much floating and watching. 3. Goaltending - finding 2 that can play consistently. May have found 1 in Levi. Better late than never. 4. Poise - clearing the puck in their own end. Long panic moments. 5. Finishing checks. Hits. Blocking shots. Less finesse. Getting intimidated.

Was making 6 Mil a year for 5 years. If he expects that again, it's a pass. Sabres have to give Tuch, Power and more new contracts soon.

Some of us get "it" on a regular basis. Dry spell ?

Sabres tie the team record for road wins in a season.. yet screw up home ice. Utterly bizarre.

Sabres were literally one game short of the playoffs. IF..if..if...they would have won that Florida game last week instead of losing 2-1, they would have needed 1 point tonight for a playoff spot. lots of bad luck that night...ugh... That home record still killed them..it is what it is but they have to work on home succrss...that's on them... Still..one game..

I worked with IT nerds in a manufacturing plant. So I experienced no middle ground. Sitting in an office with the sports clueless , then going out on the floor to hear athletes or teams either Suck or are Great. Insight of a slug. Allowed me to focus on my work with ease.
