I have a feeling Bogo gets hurt tomorrow, er... today I guess.

He played 29:03 on only 29 shifts and there's travel to get to the game tomorrow. Overplaying, not enough sleep, flying which is terrible for your body, and an injury prone player mix about as well as 60,000 screaming fans and 10 cent beer night.

Good points
Hopefully he doesn’t though
Bogo has paired nicely with Fahlin for the most part this year

Reinhart has been playing well. I think shot was tipped off a stick.

The haters won’t admit that though

that goes in

Bad luck

I said Friday night, I would be happy with 1 pt against the Caps, and 2 against the Bruins.

I am happy to be here.

Berglund sucks worse that Okposo, at least Kyle is out there playing, giving it his best.
Not saying Kyle is playing good, but at least he can hold his head up high.
They have to terminate Berglunds contract right? I mean, really there is no choice...he quit.

If you look at the replay it hits nothing, that shot need to go in.

Been an entertaining season there in Buffalo for Bills and Sabre fans.
Peterman train wreck
Vonte Davis quiting at halftime, just leaves
Benjamin quiting on the team, acting like a high school girl
Now Berglund taking his queues from Davis and Benjamin into one act

Allen showing glimpses of what could be
Edmunds development
Tre taking big steps
Milano stepping up
Several young players /rookies playing relatively well
Eichel stepping up his game to a new level, becoming a high-end, two-way player
Sam kicking in, in a big way
Hutton and Ulmark
Dahlin delivering on the promise of becoming an elite player
Skinner...holy crap
Pilut showing us the hype wasn't unwarranted
Bogo, McCabe and Risto commitment to playing their role very well
Mitts developing his two-way game
.
.
.
LOCKPORT LARRY leading the 4th line to elevate their play to what at least one poster believes is the equivalent of a 2nd line ( did I get that right?)

I wonder what the rest of the season for each team brings us?
I'm going to move my chair closer to the 72" LED SHDTV and turn the sound up louder so I am assured of getting the finer details of the games.

Of course you’d try to change the topic

Anything to avoid admitting the guy u defended (AGAIN) just the other day is a complete waste and that you were
unequivocally wrong about him

Maybe he can hit that 17goals in 57games pace on your Xbox game?!
😂😂😂

But please...
tell us more & more about his Corsi since he’s been knocked down to LW4
I mean, the press box
I mean, quit the team
Yeah... great DEPTH my a$$

Even worse than trading for another Girgs
At least Girgs didn’t give up like a b!tch

Hopefully the most SPEEDY thing we see about Berglund is how quick we get him the
F outta here

For the record, Berglund isn't hurt, his attitude sucks and his complainig about playing time was pissing off Housley and in the locker room was getting old.. He didn't want to be traded in the first place.
- SABRES 89


Thank you, 89. I've been hoping you had some info. Too bad because he was supposed to be a leader for the Swedes

I'm with Eric Wood on this, hoping to see the Bills play well, especially Allen...but lose.
Finishing 4-12 and securing a top 5/4 pick ...then trading down to get another 1st rounder would be a terrific scenario.
Grab a WR and and OL (center or guard) would be my dream.

I'm with you on the Sabres winning though!


Interesting article on The Athletic about back to back games...stats show team with rest wins 59% of time.
Hitchcock believes the playing team actually plays better after usually having a slow, sluggish start to the game.
We shall see, hopefully Sabres can weather the storm at the start of the game and turn it on for 2 pts.!

Bad luck

Reinhart just has an awful shot. Period.

He’s a solid player, but my god I’ve never seen someone given so many undeserving assists in my life.

It’s the most unimpressive point streak I’ve seen.

Time to pick up another offensive threat. It’s becoming more and more apparent we only have 1 line that is any threat.
Eichel amazing tonight
Okposo is so slow it’s painful to watch
26 working some magic
Good game overall against a very good team

- lulags


We need a long-term 3rd line C. Realistically Sobotka should be the 4th line C or third line LW.

Allen wasn’t ready
I’ll leave it at that
Is that “high road” enough for you?

As far as Berglund goes...
If he can’t just simply admit he was wrong about it, then I’m gonna give him some ribbing
I’d get sh!t if i was still trying to claim I was happy with Berglund’s game & talking about his freaking Corsi stats
Come on man

Wouldn’t even have said anything if he didn’t try to dump on another player he hates now
I guess Okposo is his new whipping boy since he can’t say much about Risto or Sam right now
Funny how he hasn’t brought up Berglund’s lack of scoring?
Or Sobatka
He just hates O’Reilly that much that he can’t admit it

Even now,
I’m sure he’ll see this & try to say again how O’Reilly was “replaceable”
Even though 2C is an obvious weak point for us right now

Whatever though
It’s a message board
Everybody talks smack on here
I’m sure my comments don’t keep him up at night

The Sabres room is better without RoR, and the blues room magically went to poop when RoR got there.

Colorado had locker room issues and broke out after RoR was moved.

Same thing happened in buffalo.

And now in St. Louis it’s appearing to happen again.

He’s a complimentary player that can make good passes if he’s given the opportunity. He could play 10 years in the league and never score the goals that Eichel scored last night. He will never drive his own line but when playing with good players he doesn’t hold them back apart from missing that open net last night. It is what it is at this point. He’s an effective top 6 player. He’s not cam barker or Dylan Strome but he’s not Barkov or Eichel. He’s a Bobby Ryan back in the Anaheim days.

He’s a fine player.

When he makes a great pass like the one against AZ, he deserves the credit.

When he blows the game and costs us a point, like last night, he deserves the criticism.

Imagine that was Drew Stafford who missed that shot?

I called him that two or three days ago

He is a 55-60 point player with a few 70 point seasons mixed in

I seriously do not understand why they don't use sam on the pp to the right of the goalie? 1 time pass, he's good at that????

I like the Ryan Smyth comparison.

Bobby Ryan has scored some highlight reel goals throughout his career.

That pass is there once or twice a month. It's pretty when it is. When it's not, I don't find Sam very effective on the PP. I don't consider him a threatening net front guy and he's very easy to defend against.

I think "complimentary player" describes him best. Keep in mind that Pommer also looked 10 years younger on that line. When not on the line both are invisible. I am not looking to move 23 but I wouldn't hesitate in the right deal.

There’s no reason not to try him at center and put Casey on Jack’s wing for a bit.

I’m sure the Reinhart point streak will continue playing with Okposo or Sheary
