I think he's hilarious. Lighten up people.

I like the move by JBotts. Not a retread, but with some NHL experience. Strength is LEADERSHIP - I think this is what is most needed to guide these young bucks out of the losing doldrums they have been in their entire Sabres career. Also an innovative thinker with an eye on applying analytics. Intriguing times ahead for sure. I especially like what Friedman said about Krueger on The Instigators today: Friedman on Krueger's coaching style: "He is a relentlessly positive guy, and he creates an environment where people believe in their ability to accomplish things. One of the things that is really changing... [back in the day], it was 'do this, do that and don't dare challenge.' This generation is all about 'why?' 'Why do I have to do this? Why are we doing that?' I think you're coach now, more than anything else, has to create an environment for this generation of players. 'Why are we going to buy into your vision? Why are we going to do this?' He's the kind of guy who can build that." "He creates belief, he creates a feeling of team and why we're going to accomplish things together. Now he's not a bad X's and O's guy at all, but he hasn't done it in a while. You're going to need people around him that can help him fix that problem. I know that in Edmonton, one of the things the organization felt was that his system did some things that you can do in international hockey, but you can't do that in the NHL, in terms of the way you position things. As far as I'm concerned, that can all be fixed. I have a feeling that one of the reasons that the Sabres are going after him is because of the way he builds teams to believe in themselves. Look, it's been a hard few years in Buffalo. I can see why his ability to do that would appeal to the Sabres organization."

Go Jake Go!

May this open the floodgates. If he does have a great shot, I like Samson as his set up man. Let's see if some chemistry develops there.

Oh My.... It;'s TAGE!!!!

Welcome back from injury Brassard ?

Love Risto standing tall with Kessel. Not phased, toe to toe push and smack talk in front of net

I thought same! Having grown up in Springville, we said "crick" a lot. ? That's what I like about Rayzor, he is real in his own skin. Not worried about being mr. fancy pants analytics (while I do appreciate that perspective of mathematical metrics) or big ego famous guy full of himself. He's just a WNY/Southern ONT regular guy.

This has to be a misprint. I can't remember seeing our team even sniffing the top of the league. Twilight Zone?

Now for Mittsy's 1st homecoming game tomorrow. Can't wait!

Wowszy Wow Wow.... We got 2 points in this one!

Looooove the second stick swat by Hutton on Perrault

I thought that was in by Mittsy

Crazy good shot by Laine

Excellent effort and smarts in OT, happy with whatever outcome in SO

Oh my

And a hush falls over the crowd...

YES!!!!! Skinny Skinmeister!

I think it may be a JBOTS thing. Tage was an insisted piece of that trade. JBOT may have said make him a priority to develop up in the big club (but that should change soon).

Our passes are not sharp tonight. I feel if we are ever going to score its going to be an ugly goal.

Take advantage of this PP boys. We need a spark and this is where a great WPG team is vulnerable

It's hard to remember, but important we keep in mind this entire season that this is still an 18 year old High School kid. Patience for young padawan Jedi Sabre
