6. The Buffalo News’ Mike Harrington wrote an interesting piece a couple of weeks ago, wondering if Sabres players were “tanking” to undermine head coach Dan Bylsma. He’s in the second year of a five-year deal, and if I was an owner, I wouldn’t be happy about that. Terry Pegula is already paying Rex Ryan not to work, and that’s not something I’d want synonymous with my name. To me, that’s failure. Eichel missed the first six weeks of the season. Evander Kane went down in Game 1 and needed a month to get back. Dmitry Kulikov was never healthy. I think you have to be realistic about where you are. If the Sabres do have an issue, it’s a divide between older and younger. The organization is in the process of turning over its roster. Losing causes fissures. Ice time changes, and the veterans don’t like it if they feel some of the younger players are not accountable. Edmonton went through this too. When you surpass expectations (Toronto is a good example), no one’s complaining

7. There’s been a lot of speculation about Eichel’s college coach, Boston University’s David Quinn, being a potential Buffalo target down the road. San Jose interviewed him before hiring Peter DeBoer. Quinn’s got a great setup there. If he even wanted to leave, NCAA watchers think you’d really have to make it worth his while.


CC: gerbe

Only if he gives up the C to jack

Your obsession over a letter really scares me.

Jack being the de-facto captain or not.

I still don't understand the usage of per 60 minutes as a barometer to be used all around.

There should be a better usage of measurement, such as average ice time per game of top 6 forwards, or among those within a minute or two of the average time of ice a player plays per game, but I understand that makes it more complex to figure.
- kingcong39

Not trying to be a d!ck, but what's not to understand? Its an absolute perfect way to measure who is doing what with the ice time they are given.

If Kane scored 1.80 points per 60 playing 19 minutes a night, while someone else scores say 2.0 points per 60 in 15 minutes per game, the case can be made that the 2nd player is actually giving you more, even if it's not represented in just overall goals and assists.

I don't count the batman movies, as they were done by different company


green lantern, really bad
superman returns, really bad
man of steel decent
batman vs superman decent
suicide squad, really bad


I can't think of a marvel movie I didn't like cept the way fox tries the fantastic 4 and the second ghost rider movie


iron man III was anything but special though
- homiedclown

Daredevil wasn't good.
We're on Punisher redux thrice
Blade was good for the most part

It was not just a few.... Not even close.
The narrative that one side doesn't protest and the only thing the other side does is protest is bullpoop.

Looting and Rioting are done by anarchist not normal protesters.
Also, MLK and company would block roads back in the day, do you think he was wrong?
- jochfr

By marching. Not running across the middle of the highway.

Also the narrative is one sides protest gets national news coverage, the other side not so much because it was done by far less people and those people were more lumped in with the Westborough Baptist Church crazies than your everyday conservatives.

Then coach it is...

His wife was tearing up quite a bit...

But I really think he is coming back next season.
- Stripes77

I'm honestly 50/50 on him coming back. We could have Baptiste, Bailery or Fasching fill his spot at a lesser cap hit. Especially if Murray upgrades the D through trade or FA and that adds to the cap. I guess a 1 year $2M deal wouldn't be so bad for Gio though.

I doubt that all 3 of those players mentioned makes the team next year.

2 out of 3 at most

Yes, I was thinking only 1 of those 3 to replace Gio and I should have been a little clearer in my post.

The Tea Party disagrees. Their numbers are pretty high and they protested/disrupted with the best of them.

He deserves the "C " he talks to the media every game he puts pressure on himself to make sure the team is better and he backs it up

Gionta what do you here after post games nothing ???

If he was the real Captain he would hand it over to the next man up which would be Jack Joe Thornton had the balls to do it

You also don't know what it's like in the Lockerroom, just because jack is the best player doesn't make him the best captain. Maybe he is a 20 year old kid that's just not ready to be a captain yet.
Everything isn't always to the extremes like you think....

I want jagr here!!

He's not coming here Gerbe...
ZERO chance

He wants to move forward from FLA to play for a legit contender

I don't think I'd want him here anyways
At this point,
He's a 3rd liner who can play the PP
But our PP is already awesome, so no need

Give him $2 mill and a few poker chips to the NF casino (is there one in Buffalo yet?) and let him bang 20 year old models. He'll be fine here.

Like I said though...
PP is already GREAT
and we don't need a "3rd liner"

PLUS,
he most likely wants to go to a Cup contender
We aren't there yet
