If? Ummmmm, we are good.

If this forward group is as good was we expected them to be, they should be able to tread water at least without Eichel. The goal should be to get to .500 by the time he returns.

Whether or not they can do that or not, depends on this defense corps. That hasn't changed.

Not sure why they wouldn't try Reinhart out at C. If there was ever a time for him to try it it'd be now.

Due to O'Reily's injury, they are limiting the amount of faceoffs he will be taking tonight, and he might not take any.

Due to that, you need someone like Sam or Zemgus on the wing who can also take the faceoffs.

The choice between those two is easy, which is why Sam is on the top line.

I would have done the exact same thing under the circumstances.

I also might not have played ROR at all tonight.

And that's the cycle. Draft great young players, build a deep team by using picks and cap space wisely, and when it's time to pay up, slowly decline.

They will be a 4 player team if they decide to pay Panarin

Buffalo doesn't even have a single cup and people are talking smack about a team with multiple cups...


Not directed at you, just an observation....

The fact that the Sabres have zero cups has nothing to do with the fans opinions on how teams are built. The Chicago fans didn't build that team either.

The less I care the less my blood pressure rises...

It sucks but it really doesn't ruin my life.
Not saying it ruins anyone's life on here but it does seem (online) that people are letting it get a bit out of hand. But I do understand it, I do.
I used to be a nutbag when they lost... I would chuck poop at the wall/tv/closest friend, now I just walk away.

I'm mellow.




The Xanax probably helps though...

Beer is my salvation. Lots of beer.

Tonight's prediction. 1 -0 for the Sabres. Without Jack, Bylsma does a rope-a-dope defensive posture. Lehner gets shelled for 42 shots but holds the fort. Kane wins it in the shootout for us.
