you and your fear that ull lose out on mceichel.....
the tears.
they taste so good


I would certainly never say the oilers aren't brutal, but if youre gonna use the word disgrace, you should look at the forward group youre rolling out

- Ihateallofu

I do see it every game and the Oilers have RNH, Hall, Eberle and Yak and you still suck but you say the Sabres should be embarrassed ? wrong , the Oilers are a disgrace, they didn't even try to upgrade the team at the deadline. Your organization with all the cups that they have won is a complete embarrassment after all the picks and players you have, they still suck. But the Sabres are wrong ? what a joke. I hope the Oilers choke and get F$$KED in the draft.

No one is asking for miracles.

He does nothing but float around for those two minutes. Why SHOULD he get more than that?

He shouldn't.

How about competing your ass off for those two minutes? Then maybe next period he gets 5 minutes, and so on. But, he doesn't.

- grand-magus

Im not arguing that he doesn't need to work a lot harder at this level, but he has done everything the organization has asked of him so far, and his reward is 2 minutes on the 4th line with terrible wingers. That's hard not to become demoralized. The seasons a loss, playing him with real wingers on the 2nd line is no bid deal at this point, who is it hurting? If he then still wants to half-ass it fine, trade his ass, but he has earned a chance to prove himself on a real line.

Two games on hand with Edmonton, we could actually tie them in points when we match them in Games Played.

The original plan apparently was for him not to see the NHL this year at all. Not sure what happened

The two goals weren't ALL of the work, he DID score the goals (you know, what his job is), if any one actually watched past the 2nd goal, they highlight how the line was working hard all game INCLUDING GRIGS. No he wasn't "Drifting" on the first goal DThreads, watch it again.

Grigs has been (frank)ed over plenty.

I'm leaving to go to the game. Go Rangers.

Matt Ellis does everything the organization asks of him too. Doesn't mean he deserves anything. That's why they make the big bucks. The only thing holding grigorenko back is himself. Hit the gym. Have 2 a days. See a skating coach, put ur head down and work hard.
He definitely can read a play, great vision and puck control but does he have the athleticism and desire...

I know thats what you hope. its because youre pissed that u might not get mceichel.
but youre just gonna have to deal with it


I never said the sabres should be embarrassed. I just responded to your comment actually.
you keep making sh1t up to defend your ridiculous whining about teams being in the hunt for those generational talent and the possibility you don't finish last and get a guarantee of one of em.
just like yesterday you came up with 'oiler fans saying buffalo shouldn't be tanking" or some nonsense. bullsh1t. no oiler fan has said that. we don't care what u do.
you just whine too much.
call bettman, ask for the rules to be changed so that only buffalo can get mcdavid. otherwise, live with it


upgrade like how?
through what pieces?
if you say our first, itll just prove how full of sh1t you are.
a bottom 3 team with absolutely no chance of making the playoffs is gonna trade their lottery pick with two potentially generational talents there? in what world does this happen?
and what team has the assets that make it worth it, but also pay what a mcdavid would be worth when its not actually the 1 overall yet?
and which playoff teams are gonna give away assets in the middle of a playoff push?
laughably dumb comment.

choke like how? take someone off the board?? forget we have the pick?
good one......


those kids weren't given insulation from the start and the early losing and being fed to the wolves is hurting them now. confidence is an issue. but they aint the problem really. its a slow build to fill holes and waiting on nurse/klefbom etc.
we cant sign big names. we overpay for secondary players and draft and wait. it is what it is

I want mcdavid of course, or better yet, the option to deal that pick for a huge haul. and I never considered what buffalo might do. but after all of your crying, Ill laugh my ass off it u fall to second last and someone else wins it pushing you into hanifin/marner territory

end of the day, a team with as brutal a forward core as yours and a bottom feeder for the second year in a row shouldn't be throwing stones.

I hope they have last place locked up the time they play the blue jackets in the second to last game so I can cheer for them to win while I am there.

Come on yo-yo. You can't judge him on just 10 games. I think there will be better options.

I went back and watched the video, just to make sure I wasn't talking out of my ass.

He is clearly drifting on both goals, taking maybe 5 half-assed strides between the both goals. He hardly moved his feet at all on either goal.

Again, he has done all of that already. There were many pictures this past off season of him busting his butt in the gym, and working on skating, and yet Matt (frank)en Ellis gets called up and put on a better line them him. What the hell is Matt (frank)en Ellis future in the NHL. But, you're saying that if your employer ask a lot out of you, and you do that, but then your employer gives you the finger for your efforts, your only reply should be to work even harder for them?

And that's fine. Good play reads. We all know he can do that and it hasn't been good enough. He needs to be a capable athlete now. No more handouts. Gliding up and down the ice while your teammates are doing all the work all the time

@SabresProspects: Eichel gets his third assist as BU takes a 3-0 lead. He's now at 61 points (20+41) in his 34th game.

Thoughts:
Eichel - P Kane

McDavid - Tavares?

Will see

Didn't McDavid hit like 100 in 38 or something? If we're comparing based off performance this year it'd be : McDavid-Crosby.
