Angry Larry from Lockport got under Thornton's skin last night. That was enjoyable.

That 4th line has been more than holding their own for sure. Loving the Angry-Lockport Larry!

skunk was bringing down the top line last night

- homiedclown

Eichel was held pointless after Rhino hit Jones Square in the logo all alone. Skinner scored without Rhino on the ice. If pominville was on that line they would have won 5-2 and not needed overtime

Stink, stank, stunk

Luongo only makes $3.6m total over the next 3 years starting next year. I wonder if he's coming to the end here, or will he keep playing for $1m a year for the next 3 years?

No, his allergy is going to get too bad just as soon as his salary drops off the table.

Let's get real. We all know that my perilous predictions are fueling the Sabres current streak, but let's look at the schedule for the rest of the calendar year.

@ Tampa Bay
@ Florida
@ Nashville
Toronto
Philadelphia
Los Angeles
Phoenix
@ Washington
@ Boston
Florida
@ Washington
Anaheim
@ St Louis
Boston
Isles

What say you?

10-3-2 - they get to 13 in a row before they lose in overtime, win 3 more, lose 2 in a row regulation, 2 wins, Reg loss, win, OT loss, win

Edit: I hope I am wrong and the win all 15!

67-68 was orr's sophmore season
- homiedclown

Adding Frank Esposito is what made the Bruins great in 67-68.

Here’s a question.

Can the Sabres work out a 3 team trade with the Leafs and say idk Arizona or LA?

OEL to the Leafs, Nylander to Arizona (extended for 7 years at $7 million) then Arizona sends Nylander to Buffalo for 2 first rounders, Nelson/Guhle and Okposo?” (cap purposes)?

Obviously not going to happen but thinking of having a lineup up

Skinner Eichel Reinhart
Nylander Casey Thompson
Sheary Erod Pommer
Larsson Sobotka Girgensons

A complete pipe dream but I think the Sabres are one key piece away from being a legit contender. Adding Nylander could be that piece.

Plus with moving Okposo there’s plenty of cap to be able to afford Skinner as well.

Wait. Are the Leafs playing a backup tonight, against SJ? Wow, way to pad their win totals.

1......2.....3...….4......5.....6......7...….8......9......10....WE WANT 11!!!

Arizona essentially trading OEL for 2 (probably late) firsts, a project defenseman and a boat anchor contract? Don’t think that would happen. The Sabres would also need to dump more cap to fit OEL anyways.

The anthem singer in Toronto tonight sounds awesome.

What Arizona wants, and what they know they need - is a first line center

What Toronto wants, but what they don't seem to know they need - is a 1D

A trade that I believe would work for all 3-

To TML:

OEL
Risto
AZ 2019 1st
Galchenyuk

To AZ:

Matthews

To Buf:

Nylander
AZ 2019 2nd

Toronto unnecessarily hitched their wagon to JT imo

Parts to balance salary as needed

The thing is, I don’t even want nylander. Honestly.

Neither do I

But I do want to see Matthews in Arizona

- Wetbandit1

he is on year 10 I think, and 3 states

Big Mike has an interesting theory that the reason the Sabres are so good in OT is that they more great 3 on 3 match ups than any other team in the league.

I’m intrigued.

- Stripes77

I think we would need to make a big splash and everything go right to be a contender


you could say OEL is the piece we need


other teams will add at deadline, and we are squeaking by right now



realistically the best additions for the sabres right now is pilut and either olofsson or smith


I'd be sellers at the deadline and have addition by subtraction
(scandella, okposo, girgens, either berglund or larsson)
