no...in what seems to be typical sabres fashion as of late, he was called up and won't be on the ice

Don't read too much into these. Most of the time they are emergency recalls, and can't play unless there's an injury.

a little disappointing... should have left him down in that case...unless then plan is for him to debut in Ottawa.....
- tyler46

amerks are off until Friday and they have a game tomorrow...could be a case of getting him acclimated for a game then getting him in tomorrow in Ottawa

Assumed you did, but unless they move Criscuolo to IR, they are very limited ATM.

Oh I have had enough franking losing in this city for a life time, but if it improves my chances of getting the #1 pick, TANK....What good does winning do now?
- hehateme

By the same token though, what has tanking got us thus far?

Jack is great, I love watching him. But let's be honest, we need more than one player here. Dahlin is also great...isn't going to save us. We need to buck up. I'd rather start bucking now vs later.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have Girgensons - who has played close to 100 games at center - play 4C and have Pouliot (not a center) play LW with ROR?

I absolutely agree, but what the heck to we have to lose in completing the tank? finish last and you have the best odds of winning the Lottery.. plus I believe that JB will have massive turn over again this year.

Why?
Seriously?
We suck all year in second last place and now you want them to win.

Seriously Why?
Lock down 2nd or 3rd last, then start " bucking" the last few games with Casey and Nylander

Yes.

Whatever Pouliot did to Housley to piss him off this year must have been pretty bad

Arrogance.
Lack of effort
Inconsistent

Just a chapter in his career

Seconded. Alex Smith is better and got way less than 22nd overall. People are getting all caught up in 3 (very)good games. The mother(frank)er was going to retire because he wasn't very good, and now people want to give up a 1st+ for him? No thank you. Let another team take that risk, and if it pans out for them great.

But that's the exact reason people female dog about Murray, taking risks where they're not needed.

Idk about any of that, but if they're trying to win - and that's a big "if" - Pouliot is the superior goal scorer and Girgs is the superior center

Alex Smith = zero rings :: 2-5 in the NFL playoffs
Nick foles = 1 ring ::3-1 in the NFL playoffs

They are not trying to win :

What is it then with pouiliot?

I'm not doubting you, I have just never observed that with him. He doesn't seem arrogant to me

not tanky enough..

- jcragcrumple

Fair enough:

I'm just going by my outside impression of him, I have never met him. You could be right. There is some kind of disconnect between his obvious talent and being consistent enough to stick with one team.

I like his game at times for sure

I would agree with most of this if Foles did not win down the stretch for Philly and in the playoffs and win the Superbowl, and win the MVP of the Superbowl... other then that I agree...

Also, I would gladly give up a late round first & 3rd to get a 29 year old Superbowl winning, MVP that is under contract for 1 more year at 7 mill.. SIGN ME UP

If I didn't know better, I'd say you must be new around here with that kind of talk.

You have won the debate

- jcragcrumple

he's constantly out of position defensively either out of poor awareness or just plain lazy. That'll drive any coach nuts.

you think Sherman would take buffalo over the pats?
