Whine, whine, whine, b!tch, b!tch, b!tch. We suck.

I think that is it.

Carry on.

If it were an expansion team? Sure.


It was a team that’s been in the league for 25yrs.

The Sabres are an expansion team...and one with very little winning tradition. Changing the uniforms were far from a travesty. Hell, even when you factor in the bankruptcy years, two of the team's best stretches of hockey were done in the black and red.

yeah...I'm sure you're really up to date on Krueger's coaching theories and ability.

It’s the only thing I’ll ever agree with him with and I’ve been saying it for years.

It’s home whites........period end of story.

- dadeadhead



The NFL has been doing dark at home for years (with some exceptions such as Miami, Dallas and Washington), and nobody seems to have a problem with it.

I can get behind going back to white at home, but I don't understand the outcry.

Am I wrong in thinking that today is the day for a Risto trade, if it's going to happen? I know 39 said that he is as good as gone, but if that's true, why is he still on the roster?

Nobody knows, of course. There's no reason not to be at least a little bit optimistic. It's better than constantly looking up to see if the sky is falling

It's not surprising at all that he is still here. I know we all laugh at Ek but many of the moves are related to other moves. Rags didn't trade Vesey until they had Panarin in the bag. I wonder if we would have made a trade with florida if they got Panarin. It's coming.

Irish said 24/48 hours that 55 would be gone.

This is that 48 hour mark.

I wonder if Gardiner is the hold up.

He's the best RHD on the UFA market, if I'm not mistaken.

Was the credibility of that report determined? I only heard it this morning.

Gardiner makes sense if we could move Okposo (woof) or get a discount 2C.

Of course. Why trade for Risto if you can just sign Gardiner potentially. I don't see an amazing gap between the two.

Once he's signed, I think Botts will get a few more offers for Risto. Seems logical.

Are you the one that said it wasn't worth it to offer sheet Point? If so, he is right.

Going through Rosters I’m actually having a hard time finding a landing spot for Risto.

How about BJUGSTAD as 2c? Pittsburgh needs to make a move. Rumor here is Rust or Bjugstad....

Isn’t the goal to make the playoffs I mean he’s a good center but he’s not one that’s going to push this team over the top

Winnipeg? They have plenty of cap space and only have Buff and Pionk at RD.
