Just very sad news We all love fights But you can't deny what's happening. They should ban it completely I'm sorry
Fighting isn't why that happened. The micro concussions they suffer far more frequently from the time they are little kids playing are why it happens.

I predict they will crack the Kraken code tonight.
Drop a bet on it then. Easy money.
Not as easy as shorting $BTC and $ETH right now.

Automatic L...this team is our Kryptonite and the games are really even close.
-
This is where those 3 unacceptable losses to Columbus and Anaheim twice killed us...we have no margin for error anymore.

Five shutouts for Upie! Cannot overstate how huge his development has been. He's developed into a goalie that can legit steal a game for you.
And the defense has developed along with him allowing the 6th fewest shots in the NHL per game and one of best teams and not giving the puck away in their own end to boot.
There are entire periods where the other team doesn't even have a good shot on goal now, which were happening multiple times a period much of the beginning part of the season and last year.
They are growing by leaps and bounds defensively this year. If that can carryover and they can put both pieces together next year this team could be very dangerous.

Sloppy 3rd compared to the first two periods.
Gotten a little sloppy but the Isles aren't getting many good chances either.
Still only have 16 shots total, 4 in the 3rd

It is rough out there. Friends and former co-workers have been pounding the pavement for months in Atlanta, Dallas, and other growing southern cities and have not found work yet. In their specialities, they are better than I am at them, so I am worried about myself if my time comes in Rust Belt Buffalo.
The more people you know, the softer the landing spot usually is.
No matter how technology is involved, it's still mostly about people at thee and of the day.

I'd think some combo of the NHLPA and NHL Cap Hyenas don't want GMs implying that they're going to sit someone who is ready to play. The Sabres are not Vegas, after all.
Even more likely they don't want to say "no way" and leave a little room just in case.
I'm guessing his recovery is taking longer than expected then.

They said 6-8 weeks. Think he is still a few weeks away from 8 weeks isn't he?
Yup I just checked...8 weeks from Jan 29th is March 25th, so still around 2 weeks.
I doubt they keep him out...for what reason?

This is obnoxious. Do not communicate like this here.
I'm not sure who benefits from this...
It's also true.

Hater was too strong a word… but it was the label @Crusader1969 used in his question… Power was thrown into the deep end and is learning…
I’m not a fan because the kid has no physical game despite his size advantage…
Today for example, our team had 40 Hits and our team physicality was largely responsible for slowing down a faster and more explosive Oiler team… D-man Hits:
Dahlin 7
Jokiharju 4
Byram 4
Bryson 0
Power 0Bryson played 14 mins… Power played 23 mins…
Maybe I missed it, but have yet to see this kid come to the defense of a teammate despite his size… Power is not an intimidating personality and displays no aggression, and you can’t coach it…
So, I’ll watch his development…
Dahlin wasn't either his first few years but has really started to embrace that area of his game as he has grown into his body more

Very true. He was maybe our best
Power is pretty good at that also...would be fitting if he got the winner

But...but...but ..I was told the Sabres never hit anyone by posters on this very forum?!?!

My wife is a teacher of 24 years in Charlotte NC. They make approximately 60% less.than teachers in NYS. So if you'd send us the $13, it would really help. Yes, we pay for supplies too.
Yeah teachers in Southern states would be better off financially flipping burgers a lot of times. It's a joke.
Lots of teachers in NYS make more than 100K a year.

Since you know NOTHING about me personally, it seems that you're the one prone to lazy thinking at the very least.
Sure I do...you talk a bunch of drivel and then disappear for a few months. Rinse and repeat.
Just extrapolating your posting style with everything else.

The Sabres brass say that the goal is the Stanley Cup. But they admit that their defense is so bad that playing Dahlin 30 minutes a night at half-speed is better than playing any of their other d-men. They say "pick your spots". Apparently, Von Miller says that he takes it easy at the start of games because his role is "to close out play" at the end of games. What if Von Miller played hard in the 1st quarter, and when the Bills are up by 30 points in the 4th quarter, he can rest on the bench? How about Dahlin plays 100% at the start of games so that the Sabres are up entering the 3rd period? The last game was the first they had lost in regulation during last 2 years when up after 2 periods. I've never had a boss tell me to "take it easy" or "take off shifts". If there was work to be done, it was expected that I gave it my best. And, trust me, I never made millions of dollars. The guys on WGR are saying that they want to draft a receiver who openly stated that doesn't play hard if he thinks that the pass is going the other way. Such prima donnas.
He doesn't need to tell you to take it easy or take shifts off because you probably do plenty of that of your own accord.

Don't like it on its surface but not going to get up in arms about a player I have never really seen play either.
Let's see what happens.

Adams Failed The fanbase and his team
You'll be the first one singing his praises when they make the playoffs next year or the year after

Kinda saw that coming, especially after last year's results not being followed up.

Last team in the NHL this year to lose a game in regulation after leading heading into the third period
They didn't lose one all of last year either.

Sabres streak of not losing in regulation after leading after 2 periods that went back all the way to start of last year is likely ending tonight

This is 3 years running where they have significantly improved their results in the second half. Whoever is coaching next year needs to get this team playing consistently from day 1. Meanwhile, GMKA must work with the coach over the summer to find the right combination of players, player types, and player experience to keep lulls in play brief.
"Whoever is coaching"?
It's going to be Granato.

That's what I am saying to you actually...suggest you do more reading and less judging.
The greatest cause of CTE are from the accumulation of subconcussive impacts over time.
What do you think caused more subconcussive impacts...100 fights or 20000+ body checks from your head hitting the glass or rattling around in your helmet from the time he was a kid?
There is a reason why CTE has a high prevalence in bobsledder too...last time I checked they were not getting in tooany fist fights.
