A lot of them?

Then what is she crying about? If you can't physically take being checked then don't play. I played indoor soccer and flag football for quite a while. I cannot tell you the number of times I got slammed into the boards in soccer or tackled in football. Did I sit around crying about it? No... it's one of those things that is technically not supposed to happen but realistically you know it's going to happen just in the course of people competing. We're there some jackasses that went out of their way to do so? Yeah, of course. There are those idiots in every league. They are usually no skill goons who know being physical is the only way they can really contribute. If you can't accept that then don't play. It's simple.

You would think with as many shots as they throw at these goalies we would get some crazy deflection or bounce off a skate like happens against us all too frequently, but it never seems to happen for us...

He is but once again, the Sabres make good goalies look like Prime Hasek on his best night pretty regularly this year.

Women need to stop with this nonsense that they are "equal" physically to men. They aren't. It's not even debatable. Physically they cannot compete. Even Serena Williams, one of the greatest female tennis players ever said she would be lucky to be in the Top 500 if she played in the Men's tournament. Men are bigger, faster and stronger than women. They accelerate faster, they can jump higher, they are more athletic in terms of doing things at top speed. The multiple time Woman's World Cup winning USWNT has gotten crushed by high school under-14 boys teams. Could you imagine the Bills getting drubbed by a high school team? Even the worst NFL team would beat the best high school team like 80-0. If women want to continue this nonsensical crusade then they deserve whatever comes their way. Go start a league with women and play in it.

Only the Sabres could be outshooting a team 14-2 halfway thru the 1st and still losing 1-0. Just SMFH at this team sometimes.

This dude is so fragile for a big D man. He needs to hit the gym and build up some strength in the off-season.

Go to Anchorage, they are pretty much the only place in the US getting any right now

Enjoy...outside of 2 weeks in early-mid January here where we picked up about 50-80 inches of snow depending where you are, it's been a very quiet winter here. Temps heading back into the mid 40s and even 50s for a few days next week in WNY.

Based on what I see with players in the NFL and how quickly they come back from things now, rehab and surgeries have gotten much more effective at getting them back to 100% much quicker than it used to be.

The NFL Salary Cap will reach 400 million.

The first for me by a mile would be Brad Marchand. Skinner was tied for 6th on the list. https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/buffalo-sabres/news/sabres-winger-among-most-disliked-players-in-nhl

It's not like he had a concussion from getting hit and it was concerning...it was a freak injury. He's young, he needs to play.

Meh, that might be at like 5 weeks...at 8 weeks that likely covers everything.

Why? If it's an 8 week injury it's an 8 week injury.

Pegula doesn't like or believe in this model of operation and it will likely never happen while he is here.

Quinn expected to be out 8 weeks after surgery. Probably the best case scenario with how bad it looked.

Not the way it works. They literally cannot via the NHLPA agreement with the NHL via collective bargaining.

Left achilles

Probably because teams went from having 3-4 games in hand to having no games in hand. So technically they didn't really lose ground, the other teams just made up the games they had in hand and they mostly stayed even with them. Could have been far worse

This is an idiotic thread. Of course there have been

I think that much was obvious, he didn't need to say it.

Ugh...re-tore the Achilles?

Exactly what Granato was saying...too much thinking leads to hesitation. Last year they just played freely. This year they are thinking too much and it's causing a lot of issues.
