if the story of liver and kidneys are failing him and shutting down, the bigger question is what has he been taking

I'm 33 and my liver is already (frank)ed up from ibuprofen. The poop they pump these guys full of, legal drugs, can easily be the culprit.

Very refreshing take, my feeling is a goalie is going to determine this series and Tuuka has been shaky. Good luck to you guys, speed kills

I can't picture Botterill saying anything informative or interesting. Most likely just a long string of cliches. Let's see how many we can nail:

We're looking at all options.
We all need to be better.
I'll make any move that makes the team better.
This season wasn't acceptable.
That's a question for Coach Housley.
It's frustrating.
Encouraged by Rochester.

What do you guys have?


Then again, what the hell is ANYONE supposed to say about this steaming turd of a season.

"I've made great progress"

"are you throwing?"

"no"

I agree. Seems this team is stuck with Phil for at least another season, if not two, no matter what.

Chad Johnson getting ripped on the NHL Network.

"You can bring in any guy off the street for a 3.5%GAA and .89 SV%"

"Anyone watching these games knew this team was bad defensively, you don't have to go to the media to tell them that."

"Clearly he doesn't respect anyone in the room, or his teammates don't respect him. Did he say anywhere in his comments that he could've played better? No. He just said everyone around him was bad so he was bad."

more deja vu. no playoffs for sabres. again. lol.
- ziffles

Apart from the game last week Eichel has owned Matthews in every game they have played head-to-head. I expect that to continue in the beginning of May on the golf course.

I didn’t see Johnson’s comments. Did he really blame everyone else? What is with this idiot ensemble they trotted out there?

Hey Fitz, if you’re out there, heard an update on GR that Grubauer is starting game 1 for the Caps over Holtby. Don’t know if it’s injury related, but figured you’d feel vindicated if it isn’t injury related.
- Hatboro_Swords



Vindicated?
I’ve said that I’d like the Sabres to trade for Grubauer,
but i don’t think anyone on here ripped me for that?

The Caps could have a real dilemma on their hands if he gets them past Pitt

As long as he doesn’t,
they can still go back to Holtby next year

Or maybe they’ll just trade Holtby?
Grubauer will be cheaper to sign,
and Holtby will get a better return

It’ll be interesting to see how it works out

He sounded like he was a guy with 4 cups to his name and it was a privilege for Buffalo to sign him.

You won't hear much from Botterill until after the draft, Pegula and CO are focused on the Bills draft so we won't hear much regarding the Sabres until draft day and FA day. It will be the same thing from Botterill tomorrow maybe a hint or 2.

that's funny because about 12 skaters acted that way every night, as well

I don't have them in front of me, but he was saying how every time he played it was always a mess in front of him. Said you could be the best goalie in the league, referenced Rinne and some other guy, and get terrible numbers on this team. 20 out of 29 games there's just guys running around. poop like that.

He'd be an excellent addition to a team with a ton of firepower, but not at his cap hit.

He needs to be the 4th best scoring forward on your team, and take the D zone starts.

- sbroads24


So if we get a winger in this draft,
don’t u think that’s where he will likely be?
Maybe not this year,
but i think that’s where he’d slot sooner than later
Sam & Nylander with scoring potential too

Fun drinking game for the presser tomorrow...

Take a drink every time Botts says "it's a situation where..." or "...in that regards".

You'll be hammered after the first minute.
