It did get pretty brutal. I understood everyone having different angles though. We are all fans when it boils down to it and as fans we won't always agree on certain things but wether you were pro or anti tank at the end of the day we all love our boys in Blue an gold and that's all that matterd!

Woooooooooo hoooooooooooo!

I know it's not "official" yet, but there's no freaking way we pick up 5pts in the next 3 games!

It's been a rough season, well, two seasons really... But getting one of these guys does end the "rebuild" and now we can start the climb back up the standings!

I like phil, Hard working dos what he needs to do, wouldn't mind seeing him on the 4th next year until we pick up more pieces to fill out our roster
- bberkey1



Our 4th line next year could end up being...
Deslauriers-Grigorenko-Hodgson

It's very conceivable the top9 could look something like this:
Kane-McDavid/Eichel-Ennis
Moulson-Reinhart- (new player)
Foligno-Girgensons-Gionta

I'd pay money to find out what Murray's thoughts are on the goaltender.

Worst Case McDavid Scenarios (ranked, from a Buffalo fan perspective):

1. Toronto (obviously) 9.5%
2. Philly (because Philly) 6.5%
3. Ottawa (in our division) 1.0% (possible to swap in Detroit, Pitt and Boston here)
4. Arizona (Darcy) 13.5%
5. Florida (in our division) 3.0%
6. Edmonton (three firsts in last 5) 11.5%
7. Dallas (No Goal) 3.5%
8. NJ (meh) 7.5%
9. Winnipeg (due to recent trade) 2.0%
10. Colorado (they've got enough) 5.0%
11. San Jose (who cares) 2.5%
12. Columbus (no one cares) 6.0%

Easy people...I'm confident, but this is Buffalo remember! Let's just hold our breath a few more days until the garage door is closed. A fail now would be no goal, homerun forward lateral, and wide right all put together!

Can you imagine the tv ratings of that AZ/Anaheim game if it is needed for Buffalo

Happy Easter everyone,

Just wondering if anyone knows the answer to the following questions - "what was the extent of Girgs injury? Is he officially done for the year? I must have missed the announcement in the mainstream press and this forum.

I personally hope he is done for the year, even if we do wrap it up tomorrow night. He is far too important to the future than getting in 1 or 2 meaningless games in this year.

I want that McEichel kid, he looks crazy good!

Just saw the score this morning, great scoreline, hope it all works out so that you Sabres supporters in Buffalo can go to the last game and cheer/scream your lungs out for a Sabres win.

I don't think Reinhart or McDavid start next season centering a top 6 line.

Also, no Larsson?

- Pairo11



I've heard him multiple times talk about how he's had conversations with other GMs about young goalies they have, that are either splitting time or backups.
He said he'll revisit those conversations in the offseason.
Sounds to me like he's gonna try to bring in a goalie of the future for us.
Likely targets?
Allen, Vasilevskiy, Gibson or Andersen, Jones...
Possibly even Subban or Fucale
Maybe even Bernier, although he's 26, that might be the upper limit as far as age goes

I think McDavid definitely will.
It is possible Reinhart starts in Rochester.
Larsson was an oversight. Maybe he fills a spot on the wing in the top9?

Reinhart probably not. McEichel is our #1 centre the second after one of their names comes out of Murray's mouth at the podium. 2nd line centre at the very least
