Until Anderson gets hurt. I won't believe we've seen the last of Peterman until he's off the roster

I heard he got a raw deal.

They really should do everything they can to extend him.

He’s this teams best winger by a margin (despite his slow start)
- sbroads24

It will be interesting to see what the deal looks like...or what the trade looks like. Certainly feels like there's some pressure on JB to get a reasonable extension done. A trade or significant overpay would be a bad look.

IMO 8 X 7-7.5

This is a .500 team playing miles better than they were last year, and its obvious.

aside from dahlin

and the goalies


I don't see much difference

I don't think there is hate for Eichel


just reality, he is a distant 3rd compared to the other 2 young guns

That's where things get really tricky. He can't sign for an 8th year until after the trade deadline.

Anderson starting Sunday

Allen has more NFL starts in the last 7 years than Anderson.

so is this team (well compared to the leafs). The eye test is just seeing what you want to see, Im guilty of it as well.

When things are bad, everyone else is better and our guy sucks. Thats normal for any fanbase, 10x so with Buffalo fans (sorry not sorry).

It'd be easy to say it was just that eichel was a distant third. Unfortunately the problem is runs much deeper.

this is an underestimation

just saw Pekar got his ELC.

He was a steal long before we saw him, his numbers were that of 2nd rounder in his draft year.

This is a hot take

its even funnier cause they're .500

Theory - Karabacek was bought out to sign a fellow countryman.

Lets everyone calm down just a bit. We are going to have inconsistency early on, and we all knew that. We should know by game 25ish whether or not this team is going to jell, and whether the youth will develop fast enough (looking at Mittelstadt and Dahlin in particular), for us to make a true run at a playoff spot. Right now, there is certainly work to do.

Goaltending looks good. I don't think we are icing the best team possible and that is annoying as hell.

Also, kinda figured the boys would be out in LV being bad (H&B) and that this game would be a let down. I'll mark the game in Vegas as a loss every year. The Vegas culture is a true home ice advantage for them. (yup, I just used "culture" in the correct way)

I have to call bullpoop on this, ok, the first year they snuck up on you, you don't really know what to do when you get into a new hockey town, but everyone should know better now, and the management has to have a plan, have a curfew if you have to. That should be the last excuse. I've heard Montreal is a huge party town, I know Miami is, so why don't teams struggle so badly when they go into those places?

were they at the limit? I just chalked it up to a mutual parting of ways.

Buffalo fans love to wallow in losses more than we like to celebrate wins, and a cynical edge taints everything good. You're way more likely to get negative takes on positive stories, than positive takes on negative stories. We LIVE to be disappointed. We can't wait to be disappointed so that we can tell everyone, "see! I knew we still sucked"

It's a distancing technique to pretend we don't care

6 games into a .500 season and it's. "captain bad posture, floating 10 million dollar bum"

This is too real. sometimes it's good to distance from that mentality so that it doesn't spill over into your actual life.
