Some thoughts:
1. I was a Kane supporter, but let's be fair: Was Kane going to stay in Buffalo with UFA on the horizon? The odds were very high that he was going to leave Buffalo, so I won't completely fault JBot for getting something back for a player who was most likely leaving town.
2. Lock Room Culture: The Truth? Stanley Cup winning teams all the way down to the Sabres have moments where the lock room culture is good, and then not so good, there are flows to it as the season goes on. When a team is winning, generally any issues are squashed because winning does that. Ever notice how bad teams always seem to have some locker room issues? Why? Because when a team does not win, it comes out. Plain and simple. Notice how EK9 isn't an issue with San Jose right now?
3. Name me one really bad team where it was said consistently 'oh the locker room culture here is so good' Its rare, if at all. Winning helps create culture. Always thought this angle was very overrated.

Out of the box thought for a goalie for the Sabres:
Given the struggles of Cory Schneider, and if the Devils believe in Kinkaid, what if the Sabres could get a guy like Schneider who has shown he can play at a very high level, a look via a trade if it is cheap?
-
They should give us an expansion team soon.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Oh my God, best thing I have read here this whole season.....
THIS!

Disappointed, going to have to be better, we are not as far away as some people think, there will be some changes, we will be better next year...............did I miss anything?
Player development and Rochester Obsessions. That should cover it.

Playoffs?

So, when does Richie sign with New England?

SORRY, the requested page does not exist!
Kind of ironic given we are Sabres fans :w00t:

I agree.
That said, I've seen nothing to suggest Housley deserves the chance to continue coaching this team. If his name was Dan Bylsma instead of Phil Housley people would be clamoring for him to be fired. But since he's a former Sabre, hall-of-famer, came from a successful Nashville organization, etc... he gets a free pass. Mind-boggling.
If he somehow turns this team around next season, I'll happily eat crow, but my money is on another slow start, same excuses, he'll praise their effort, etc. etc... and it will be another lost season before we hit Thanksgiving. Yay.
I agree completely with this: Show Low Energy Phil the door and say thanks for the memories

Good speech and I agree: Any fans that are still here after finishing dead last 3 of 5 years can never have their fandom questioned.
At the end of the day it's still watching a NHL hockey game, on a TV or streaming, under a roof, and we are all lucky and fortunate for that.
Let's finish the season strong and bring on the draft and let's win this lottery for once!
-
The PP improved dramatically however.
Also, I will never base my head coach off of two ancillary aspects to a hockey game like that. That's what assistant coaches are for. If I wanted a garbage team with an elite PP, I'd have stuck with Byslma
Fair points, but the regression in many other aspects give me pause about Housley: Can't really fire him now (although if there was a clear cut cant miss choice available I would) but Phil has a lot to learn and prove in 2018-2019

Here's a negative view from a Preds fan, taken from hfboards:
I wish him the best, I think he's a great guy and he'll definitely help the D-men. I think he'll be a pretty poor head coach though. The two facets of the Preds that he was most involved in other than working with the defenseman (power play and OT) were the two worst aspects of the Preds and he never seemed to be able to adjust at all.Bingo.
-
True enough (and I am sort of expecting this to happen) Everyone here is basing the upside to the fact we actually get Dahlin. What if we don't? Who do we take then and how much more does this set back another rebuild?
3 of the 6 'NBC 6' (Chicago, Rangers, Canadians and Red Wings) and with that 4 Original 6 teams in the Lottery: That 18.5% chance is a facade. Gary is salivating at the possibilities.
-
So, who are the Sabres taking 4th in the 2018 NHL Draft?
-
Plus Ottawa and Calgary need new arenas, so they need a new star like Edmonton got for their new arena.
Agreed, Also see why the Bills wont be able to get their franchise QB. New arenas move mountains in sports.
-
Maybe, just maybe, Russ should quit the Sabres and focus on the Bills, and have a dedicated hockey operations guy full time to handle all those things.
Russ owns the city of Buffalo, or has compromising photos of the Pegulas. Only true explanation.
-
The tank is irrelevant for the Buffalo Sabres: If you think the Sabres will win a lottery with 4/6 of the Original 6 in the lottery: Think again.

What's your take on the Pegula organization touting the whole "man of faith" mantra recently? Pegula mentioned it when he hired McDermott and that guy (McDermott) seems to pimp his faith every chance he gets in press conferences. When Taylor got benched for Peterman they seemed to pump up what a man of faith he was before his train wreck of a first game and AJ McCarron is covered in religious tats. Do you get the sense that faith plays a significant role in the decision making process with the Bills and/or Sabres?
Are any of the quarterback's expected to be drafted in the 1st round this year particularly Jesusy? At this point I expect them to draft the most religious one but I don't do social media (other than team message boards) so I don't have the patience/desire to figure out how to e-stalk these guys on twitter/facebook/Instagram or whatever to try to figure it out.
I will say the 1st part is a legitimate question, even as myself being a man of faith I would have to question the Pegulas if this was the basis for their decision making in terms of winning football games.

I'm thinking 52 goals, 87 assists, for 139 points.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
-
He sure did.
But.
Where was this franchise center the previous 4 games where he put up 0 points and a -6?
Also Rinne and the Rangers backup goalies were strong in two of those games.
Players have off nights sometimes as well, And coming back from injury has to be a factor.

The game of the century. I am counting down the minutes to this epic clash
-
Yea, it's too clean to be NYC :P
Agreed, but LA is catching up fast to NYC's dirty ways

The next time a Toronto fan or media person tries to trigger you about their cravings to make Buffalo fans feel inferior: Send this page and drop the mic.

Scheduling oddity as this is the first matchup between the two teams this season, and we will have all 4 of our games with Toronto in the final month of the season.
NHL be dumb yo.
I personally don't even view Toronto as much of a rival. It's been too one sided historically for Buffalo to consider Toronto as a rival.
