If the vaccine supply is no longer a bottleneck, why not just vaccinate everyone en masse? There's people in the first group who don't want the vaccine, at what point and who makes the decision to move on to the next group? The only reason there's a triage is because of limited vaccine supply, but it sounds like that won't be an issue here maybe relatively soon with the J&J vaccine hitting the market.

Just the fact we're even discussing regulation wins and deluca .500 is a tell tale sign that they stink.

RK is +60, why wasn't he vaccinated?

Obviously the at risk groups should get it first, and they are. However, it will be interesting to see where pro-atheletes land in the pecking order. Same with entertainers, musicians, college athletics, etc... Arguments can be made for anybody really.

With 4 teams on suspension, were getting close to shut the whole damn thing down territory. 17 players now on the Devils, don't see how they return to play in 6 days... Sabres list will likely grow as well.

TRpm for the smart folk 😀

award the points to the Sabres, give them double the lottery balls, and NJDs 1st rnd pick this year, and a free spot in the playoffs as a wildcard

They should sue the league for not postponing the Devils games when they knew they had positive cases. It's ridiculous to put Sabres players and staff at risk... and for what? What a joke of a league, sad.

Game is postponed to tomorrow due to covid concerns.

Ullmark gets the shutout, but falls 1-0 in thr shootout.

Panic? No. Annoyed because we've been watching the same ***** hockey for 10 straight years? Yes.

I noticed after the next whistle MIller skated over to the scores box and they gave him a puck which I was assuming was his goal puck.

They haven't had a real coach since Bylsma. Yeah I know, everybody thinks he sucked. We'll, he got a post-tank dumpster squad in Jack's rookie season to 81 points, then Jack gets hurt , they finish the next season with 78 points and he gets run out of town because a 20 year old Eichel doesn't see eye to eye with him. Since then it's been Phil Housley with 0 years of pro head coaching experience, and now a soccer team manager, with a whopping 48 games of nhl coaching experience 6 years ago. But hey, all the players REALLY like the guy. Maybe they can hang a banner "2020-21 Most Liked Coach"

Skinner scored 40 because he was cleaning everything up around the net from Jack. Sure they had a bit of a dry spell for a stretch there, but there was instant chemistry from the get go. He's not a shooter, he doesn't generate much on his own, he's very one dimensional but that one dimension is burying everything around the net. Pair him with a guy like Jack who drives offensive / creates chances, and you give yourself the best chance to max out the $9m/yr you're giving him. Why is this so hard?

Running it from behind the net where you can't score from is even dumber. It's like killing a penalty in the neutral zone.

I may be in the minority, but I actually thought he looked good. Quicker, lighter on his feet, getting after the puck. He's been a good student so RK moved him to the front of the class, just like Skinn.. wait a minute.

Interesting approach. My initial thought is this probably works really well in amatuer/youth hockey, not sure how well it would work in pro, with bigger bodies/sticks clogging passing lanes down low. The PP QB usually has a cannon at the NHL level, which is quite the weapon.

Hutton: "I try to battle, there's a lot of things I can't control".... "these last few games at home.. giving up too many scoring chances"... on the 4th goal "it just popped out to him, not sure where the d-man was, never saw the release"... "doesn't matter how many big one's you make, it's that one that hurts"... "i just try to compete, i think I've given us a chance to win when I've been in there." Dahlin: "they had their chances and they scored on them"... when asked what he likes about the team right now, "Everyone has bought in to the defensive side of the game, we play solid in the d-zone, we're tough to play against. We need to get our 5 on 5 scoring going.." Sounds like they're on 2 different teams haha

Reinhart no question. He's been doing the same thing as Risto did on the PP, only Sam has better offensive instincts/skill. Everybody does it, that's hockey 101. What do you suggest?

He has that 1000yard stare we're so used to seeing from players on this team. Welcome to Hockey Hell.

When does Eichel get moved down?

Something changed this off-season, I believe he's mentally and emotionally checked out of Buffalo. Listening to his Spitin Chicklets interview from a month ago or so, he sounds just very aloof and whatnot, cussing, just seemed very out of character.... like he's reached the IDGAF point. He's the captain and he's had what, 1 or 2, post game pressers? Something ain't right.

...and to top it off, in Hutton's post game presser last night, he said he felt like he gave them a chance to win.... what?! And Dahlin says he felt like they played really good defensively. What is going on in that lockerroom? These guys are delusional.
