Let's keep this ball rollin' Sabres are on the brink of .500. The Leaves have a better record by one OT loss. The Sabres can leap over the leaves with a regulation win. Divisional game. To stay competitive the Sabres MUST WIN! Let's go Buffalo!

Does Columbus need a goalie?

Maybe it's what I suggested: They want to prove UPL is NHL ready to set up a trade. I think that might be exactly what he's doing, but I don't know if it's UPL, Lyon or Ellis that's on the trade block.

Perhaps but we did twist my words of not strongly objecting to Geersten to full fledged support.

There you go twisting stuff around again. If you're referring to our discussion the other day, my point was I don't care if Geersten is on the roster, as long as the Sabres are winning. You turned that into something so far from that basic statement that I had to just leave you in your own stew.

Yeah, that was my next thought. Retain salary to move him and get something in return.

Right. There's the problem. What's the list of teams that need goalie help and have that much cap space?

If Ellis is playing well, waive UPL and put him in Rochester. Is anyone gonna grab that $4.75M cap hit?

Unless.... UPL has a "setback".....

He's the starter, until he isn't. The burden is on UPL to play his way back to the starter role I think.

Perhaps the stacked division coupled with a 3 game losing streak to start, instilled a sense of desperation in the team that's motivating them not to fall further behind. If they can turn it around to start winning more than they lose because that desperation, the desperation may become habit. As long as I've been a fan, when the Sabres hustle, they win. Let's hope the hustle we see becomes "normal" for this team.

"...but..."

Geez, enjoy it for a change.

It'll come.

Let's give the Red Wings a nice Detroit FU to send them off.

Muel deflected the pass across, saving a goal.

Did you see that? DID YOU SEE THAT? A Sabre PLAYED THE MAN.

How many passes did the Sabres make below the goal line without losing the puck before controlling it out of the zone?

Kozak is a Sabre. An Amerk no more.

Hips. He has natural hips.
