I get that we have 0 goals from the blueline but he's such a liability in his own end it's hard to imagine him putting up numbers here when he's not sheltered by guys like Slavin, Fleury, Hanifin who can take the tough match ups.


Maybe Rask+Fleury+pick?

Not with his contract.

(frank)ing aaaawwwful

The only team I can see who'll take that disastrous contract on is maybe Montreal. They have cap room and nothing else.

We still need offensive guys though.

Put him on a pair with someone like Guhle in a year or so

some idiot gave marleau 3 years 6.25 million aav and zatisev 7 years 4.5 mil aav, im sure botterill could find a taker for ROR

Starting to think Guhle is becoming more of an offensive d-man as well. Him and whoever they draft this year might be enough offensively going forward.

The whole team is offensive, very offensive.

k if you're gunna spend years mocking advanced stats and then take literally a 2 game sample size in which even tennyson looks good I dunno what the (frank) to say anymore

Just say "I have thin skin" Roll with it a little, huh?

It isn't a full-throated defense of Bogosian and his career, it's just a poke over a single play where you let your narrative get in the way of objectivity.

I've been a Sabres fan from day one and before that a Bison fan. It irks me to the end how idiotic people think they are hockey fans because they play in a fantasy league. In particular I am talking about idiots who call Jack a "whiner". Sorry but you need to go (frank) yourselves. Anyone who thinks Jack is "whining" because he hates to lose you just need to find a different team and player to make up your fantasy team in your little fantasy league. Jack is just fine and he would do better if (frank)ing teammates would get behind him and idiot fans who never played a (frank)ing team sport make stupid comments as such. Let me say it for the billionth time - YOU CANT TEACH SOMEONE TO HATE TO LOSE. Get it through your pin headed brains. Lay off Eichel he will do just fine. He needs more support from players who aren't just "happy to collect a paycheck". If you don't like Get the (frank) out of town. I for one want to win a championship and you only win when you have guys who CANT STAND TO LOSE.

He's just old and bitter

I challenge the board to decide who is "bitter"

The poster who hopes for good performances over and over and over and over.

Or the one who has done nothing but complain about suck and burn it down for the last three years.

This ignores the millions of other times i didnt say anything but sure. Im not using that pinch to say Bogo's a bad player (there's like 7 years of data for that) im just saying it was a really bad pinch.

Ristolainen made a really bad pinch last night too. Difference is it's not vintage Risto because he does that way less than bogo. I'd say vintage Risto if the play was down low and Risto chased his man all the way to the top leaving someone else wide open.

Jack Eichel is the Tyrod Taylor of Buffalo Hockey

Alrighty then, BOOM!
Got that off your chest, must have been building for some time!

We all want the Sabres to win a championship and are all equally frustrated with the collective performance of the team, and the whole team is playing like absolute crap, Jack included. Wanting for everyone to play to their potential I don’t think makes one a pinhead.

But do post more often!

Im old and bitter...they will be too when they are my age, having rooted for these teams for 40 some-odd years with only a handful of good years to show for it.

You're talking about silent sam?
Eichel is awesome, some people expect more, because the media over hyped him. The losing is getting to this fan base and some have become irrational.

We need another eichel or 2. Hopefully the draft this year and next.

Let Jack complain, he should be pissed, and so should everyone else. But, they know, like everyone else knows that Rome was not built in a day. We need a high-end defenseman and that comes at the top of this draft, doubtful anywhere else. If Jack thinks that it's okay for the team to tank in order to draft him, but then it stops once he dawns the jersey, he's being ridiculous. He wants better supporting talent around him so he can succeed? This is how that happens. He and everyone else needs to understand that this team goes nowhere until two things happen. 1. We acquire more high-end talent, most likely via draft. 2. We get rid of deadweight contracts and non NHL players taking up roster spots.
