    Someone needs to tell EEE-sock that the beard needs to stay.  He looked alien without it.  Like almost a different species.  A nicely quaffed beard has him looking a little smoldering. 

    A beard would also be good for TNT, Cozens, Quinn, JJP, Power, etc.  At least try to create the illusion that you have more age and grit than a 6 year old birthday party.

    What do you suggest? Not calling him up? Making him fly out same day? Were the Sabres "stupid" for not knowing Kozak would get injured? Tell me like I'm 5.

    Simple, play your other NHL players who are already on the roster (ex. Lafferty) for tomorrow night.  Otherwise call up NAK if you need somebody from Rochester.  If you want to give Rosen a look, do it for the next game.

    will miss ahl all star challenge event.  Pretty silly to take it away from the kid, imo

     

    Typically stupidity by the Sabres organization to deprive the kid of a chance to enjoy the all-star experience.

    I remember hating the pick from GMKA (thought it was a reach), but I hope Rosen proves me wrong.

    The other part is youth.  This team is still very young and simply hasn't developed the size and strength to matchup physically with certain teams. 

    Guys like Power, Quinn, Cozens, Peterka, Byram and even Dahlin... are still growing into their "man bodies". 

    I expect there to be a heavy focus on getting bigger and stronger over the offseason.

    This should have been an expectation already.....they're old enough to be doing serious strength training and should have been already.  IMHO - the Buffalo Sabres country club atmosphere probably emphasized lowering their golf handicap and working on their tan lines during the off-season....instead of serious strength building and conditioning.  Seems like this is yet another area of no accountability by the players and the organization.....ridiculous!

  5. IMHO - the lack of a backbone is not a new problem for this franchise.  It’s been an issue for maybe decades now.  In the Pegula era, we’ve never had a team with a “pack” mentality to aggressively protect their fellow teammates.  GM failures JBOT and Howdy Doody Adams have acquired/drafted mostly soft players vs. those who have an edge or play a hard-nosed style naturally (one exception is Zack Benson).

    Yesterday’s win was not worth the additional damage to the team’s culture, which is already badly infected with failure and weakness.
