  1. Pecca isn't coming here and as KA stated firmly, he wants Seth Appert to focus on developing the Amerk's talent. Why would he bring him up as an assistant? Let him keep doing the great job he is doing!

    What is he supposed to do?  If the buck stops with him, as he claims, then the honorable thing is to resign. He essentially gave"responsibility" lip service and you  apparently bought it.

    You apparently no nothing about being a leader and I won't waste my time trying to explain it. Buy that and chew on it.

    It's a legitimate question. In his presser, he was emphatic that this debacle of a season was on him. 

    What is he suppose to do, put all the blame on the players and coaches and take no responsibility himself. Good leaders share in the blame and take responsibility. 🙄

    Last time he got hurt he only needed a practice or two to come back. Not to mention he was playing 100% apon return. He has been skating for a week or two so i am sure he is itching to be back on the ice.

    I think you're right. I fully expect him to be in the lineup tomorrow night. Otherwise, why would Meats switch JJ out of the 1st line in practice and mess with that lines chemistry. The JJ-Tommer-Tuch line has been too hot!! Everything I've seen from practice shows a fully healthy, fast, and explosive Quinny!! Players are paid to play!! Ring the bell!!

    Greenway Thompson. Tuch

    JJP Cozens.  Quinn

    the top 6 at today practice 

    are you happy if this is the top 6 going into next year ?

    would be cool to get a LW to drop Greenway to the 3rd line BUT then you have an issue with what to do with Skinner.   Yes, I understand his metrics are good 5v5    I just don't think you should have a one dimensional player on your top line, especially when you have the youngest team in league.  Your vets need to set a standard

    i would probably want them to switch Benson to 1st line and Greenway to 3rd 

    skinner Krebs greenway as your 3rd line isn't terrible I don't think

    There's a part of me that wishes JJ was still on the 1st line as he has obviously done very well playing with Tage and Tuch, but I can understand why he's back on the "Kid Line" to get that line back to where it was! I like your 3rd line suggestion of Skinner-Krebs-Greeny. Krebs and Greeny's grit and 200 ft game could cover for Skinner's deficiencies and having Skinner there gives Krebs a chance to blossom into the 3rd line center the Sabres are hoping for!

  6. Well, I voted for Skinner. I don't "hate" Skinner the person (actually find him very funny, witty, and have watched him many times engage the fans giving pucks, etc), but I hate skinner the player. This is what the SS Poster was getting at IMO. Skinner's lack of effort in all areas except scoring, his contract, and his lack of leadership are my reasons. VO is another, but he hasn't played much this season. Bryson would have been my number 1 last season, but as another SS poster has mentioned, he has shown tremendous growth this season and as such gets credit for that from me.

    Dahlin is still growing/learning/getting better. BUT, I think his play gets better and he gets more recoginition if/when he is on a team that is doing a lot better.  If the Sabres were to be a 100+ point team next year and fighting for a division title, he may very well get attention as one of the best in the league.

    100 percent agree, you're spot on!

    So did my 13 year old son in AA hockey.  Baseline give a f maneuvers.  I didn't watch last night, sounds like 26 had a very good game. Nice! Now I want to see smart and disciplined play to buy-in.  I know he has the gaf and exceptional skill already.

    How does 26 not play smart and disciplined? How has he not bought in? He plays a strong, physical game consistently taking players off the puck. He checks and plays physical along the boards night in and night out! He is supremely talented offensively as his stats show. Does he make mistakes? Yep. Does he press at time trying to do too much. Yep, but who wouldn't given all the losing he has endured. Has this season been frustrating, ABSOLUTELY! It has nothing to do with Dahlin playing smart, not disciplined or him not buying in. It's ridiculous that even needs to be stated!  He should be our next captain and if everyone played like him night in and night out, we wouldn't be missing the playoffs again this year.

    This is what the sabres are best at Getting the fans all psyched up and having hope and then crushing them at the end.

    It's a vicious cycle and we come back for more

    That's the spirit! 🤣

    If we go out and wallop the Islanders tomorrow, really wallop them like we saw with Detroit, I’ll probably start to shift from “mathematically possible, still in it” mode to belief they have a real shot.

    That “we need to go 14-3” (and now 13-3) thing looms large but I can’t shake the feeling the number comes in a bit below 93. If it’s 91: tiebreaker is prob something we own 

    12-4 over final 16? It still seems just ridiculous but…again, with what we saw vs Detroit..I’d say that team could maybe do it 

    - - - 

    What we really need is for the islanders to drop their game with Ottawa while we play Detroit again. Even if we beat the islanders tomorrow we’d be 3 back with them having 2 in hand so realistically 5 points: a tough hill to climb with other teams still in the mix. But if we take care of business vs Detroit while they lose to Ottawa..1 back with them having 2 in hand…3 points, more less…you never know 

    Well, we just spanked the Isles with an authoritative hand! LETS GO BUFFALO!!!
