Without a doubt, the goal should be 110% every single shift, start to finish. There will be ups and downs, moments where you just don't have it, but that doesn't mean you intentionally take shifts off. Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

Sounds great, but I (for one) don't need to hear it.... I need to see it. Do better. Make the playoffs.

In their upside down inside out backward reverse retro throwbacks nonetheless.

My goodness, these guys are hockey players. Everyone is banged up a bit at this stage..... lace em up.

So they need about 42 points over their final 33 games to put them at 98 points... which probably gets them in? That's something like 19-10-4 to finish the season. That's gonna be tough. That said, whatever happens at least we're talking about playoffs in late January which is fun.

It is. They finished the 12 game in 20 day marathon at 6-5-1. That said they won only 2 home games over that stretch... losing 3 in a row to PHI, SEA and WPG. If you're serious about about making a playoff push.... Do better.

Tonight we'll get an up close look at a guy many folks thought the Sabres should've drafted ahead of Jack Quinn.... the can't miss Austrian center prospect Marco Rossi. Nevermind he's not in the NHL yet 😂.

Why is Cozens out? DG sounded confident he'd be good to go.

I chuckled, but have no idea what you mean by that. OK, I'll allow it. Comrie should be plenty motivated and knows their shooters... on the flip side, the shooters also know Comrie and will certainly try to exploit his weaknesses.

How she got there doesn't matter. She's living proof that women can succeed as executives in professional sports.

Confirmed... Comrie gets the nod. Setting him up to fail perhaps?

McCabe is their best defenseman.... He'd be a huge upgrade over Bryson. ============================================================== CHI even strength goal differential through 46 games = -46 CHI even strength minutes played through 46 games = 2331.18 exp+/- is a function of %min played at ES and team ES goal diff TRpm(team relative +/-) is the diff btwn actual+/- and exp+/- %min is % of ES minutes played ============================================================== Team Player TRpm GP +/- exp+/- %min CHI Jake McCabe 17.60 43 3 -14.60 31.7 CHI Connor Murphy 14.65 46 -1 -15.65 34.0 CHI Tyler Johnson 4.62 22 -1 -5.62 12.2 CHI Jarred Tinordi 3.43 25 -4 -7.43 16.1 CHI Lukas Reichel 3.05 4 2 -1.05 2.3 CHI Sam Lafferty 2.75 40 -7 -9.75 21.2 CHI Max Domi 1.59 46 -12 -13.59 29.5 ..... ============================================================== BUF even strength goal differential through 47 games = 8 BUF even strength minutes played through 47 games = 2339.25 exp+/- is a function of %min played at ES and team ES goal diff TRpm(team relative +/-) is the diff btwn actual+/- and exp+/- %min is % of ES minutes played ============================================================== Team Player TRpm GP +/- exp+/- %min ...

I understand their right to privacy in this situation, and I fully respect that. That said, she's not your everyday run-of-the-mill public figure. She's a pioneer in field of professional sports, featured in many prominent business journals and media outlets. An inspiration for young women who have similar aspirations. I pray she fully recovers, but the lack of any information what-so-ever is concerning. Do they provide an update at some point? Or do they just let her slowly fade from our memories and all those young women who look up to her?

I don't believe any of this. KA's front office doesn't leak these activities to the press. TSN has been off base on these Sabres reports ever since KA took over.

What do we know at this point?

Some kid named Hinostroza scored the game winner for Roch tonight. He might be a good one.

Still think he should be a regular in Buffalo. IMO he brings more to yhe table than guys like Girgensons and Mittlestadt... and if we're talking straight up on ice contribution then throw Okposo in their too. I thought he'd be a perfect linemate for Krebs, both can skate would put the defense on their heels. Whatever Kevyn.

If I'm Comrie I'm ***** pissed. He's been nothing but a good soldier, accepting a "conditioning" assignment to Roch due to KA's roster gymnastics. Now he's back (presumably 100% healthy) and isn't playing. He was brought in to compete for the starting spot, secondarily as a bridge between Anderson and UPL/Levi... however, through no fault of his own, that bridge has crumbled. His GAA/Sv% are nearly identical to UPL, he just hasn't had the same run support. That's not on him. He deserves a couple starts here.

I hesitate to categorize this as must win. That said I will begrudgingly accept whatever the outcome may be.

Sounds like Terry's wallet remains focused on the Bills.

Dallas coming off back-to-back shutouts of Arizona and LA haven't allowed a goal in over 120min. That said, they've given up +30 shots in each game, so hopefully thier luck runs out tonight.

Bryson and Lyubushkin need to be upgraded. I'd move Jokiharju if the price was right. Okposo and Girgensons to a contender. And during the offseason I'd put together a package of Thompson, Power plus for Bedard.

The All-Star game is a complete joke. Go back to 5-on-5, East v West. Winner gets home ice advantage in the Cup Final. Let the fans vote for 5 players + 1 goalie each side, the remaining players selected by the press. Make the game no-check; let them wheel around like beer league.

Shoulda won in regulation, had plenty of opportunities. Could be an important point against a team ahead of them in the standings. Do better.
