Michael Pachla: Ice cold Sabres head to midwest. Craig Rivet talks Jack Eichel, Ristolainen

I just have this feeling both streaks are going to 6 in a row tonight...

Hawks - 4
Swords - 2

sorry, homie...

*goes to reed what was up in the last blog*

Hoping it is announced that we claimed Gormley soon...

I see a lot of salivating from the mouth in here about Gormley. Are you assuming hes going to jump into Top 4 or something? If thats the plan, thats not going to work out too well unless you attach him to Ristos hip. Hes just a good bottom pairing guy

I'm not getting bent about the losing streak, or even where they're at in the standings. They weren't going to make the playoffs this year, so might as well grab another top 5 draft pick. The team looks a hell of a lot better than last year ( wish they would score some more). Murray obviously isn't done re-tooling the lineup yet. A little patience people

We need young LHD. The hope ia that he can turn into our 5/6 dman when we are good (which seems like a loooong ways away).

He Clears

maybe the same things Coga knows...do the sabres really need another 5/6 d-man right now?

I like Gormley a lot, hes a good reliable bottom pairing guy, but is he worth burning a contract on if the sabres are close to the 50 max...(dont know where you guys stand)

then Murray needs to know how to play the game chicken

That is not Murray's MO. His attitude is either all in or GTFO, which I kind of like.

On Gormley, no, we do not need another 5/6 D. We have an array of those, to varying degrees of suck.

he has more upside then weber or colaiacovo and a left handed shot

if it didn't work out, waive him

low risk

Wow, another great decision by Murray!

Also, I like our coach a lot. He finally figured out that there was nothing wrong with the Risto/Gorges line so he decides to tinker some more with the line pairings, and change up on of the few things that has been working for this team. You know what they say. If it ain't broke, that's because Bylsma hasn't started messing with it yet.

Rather have him than Carlo Colaiacovo.

In all reality, this is probably the best thing to happen to him. Getting the AHL time instead of being bounced around in the NHL will help get his game to where it needs to be more. Nothing wrong with that.
