One of these days, Krueger is going to blow up the whole positional paradigm and start referring to players as sweepers and centerbacks.

it wasn't meant to be an excuse...it was simply highlighting the schedule surrounding the global series event

I assumed it was a Kreuger quote

i hate this team to be honest

i was all in on the tank but now i just cant handle them being bad anymore. im so over it.

3-4-3 Montour and Dahlin as attacking mids, Skinner/Eichel/Joho as your center and sweepers

If we're running the 2-1-2

Skinner Montour


Dahlin



Eichel Risto


Get ready to blow some minds

perhaps we're learning just how difficult it is to transform a losing culture into that of a winner...tanking has a price, and we're paying for it...

Game day! These last two weeks have sucked.

Nordiques had 1st overall picks for multiple years in a row and had to sell to Colorado to benefit from their tanks (got to be record consecutive tanks and probably why the lottery was installed)

Skinner 9 mil to play with an AHL center and 3/4 line winger.

Your prized acquisition this year in Miller is a healthy scratch.

This team is a (frank)ing joke.

tell said friend he could have and should have...also explain that it's an 82-game season and poop happens

we as sabres fans have seen a lot more sh!t over the last 13 seasons then any other team

nyi Andrew ladd placed on waivers...has a cap-hit of $5.5m through '22-'23

Or the players just are not good enough.

Talent trumps culture. The Sabres lack talent.

Meh, they had a GM with a not so difficult job ruin things. Tanking doesn't need to linger this long.

i'd say Montour is more of a "prized acquisition"...however, point taken

bury okposo in rochester
call up tage

ship out scandella for a 6th when healthy

at least have 3 possible scoring lines and a true 4th line


I think girgens, larrson and lazar is fine for 8 minutes a night


instead we get to see girgens and larsson 13 to 14 minutes a night with okposo


I mean how is this any different then what housley did, once we got past the first 10 games


same crap

this team has not looked good since the stars game

but learning to win takes a herculean effort

won't hide, but miller to me has been ok at best.. also of note, tweets have Krueger saying he's not afraid to go with 11 forwards and 7 d-men
- Michael Pachla

I agree, Miller has not been all that and his shooting reminds me of Zhtnik

Oh the modern cap era contracts for old players signed until they are 50 years old

Lucic
Okposo
Ladd
Eriksson
Backes
Brower

Who else am I forgetting

They were 8-1 w Scandella, and 1-5-1 without him, and that's your solution?

what does learning to win even mean

i dont even have the energy for this

Botterill handed Krueger essentially the same forwards he gave Phil

Pominville---> Vesey

Berglund-------> Mojo

Tage-----> Olofsson

2 upgrades and 1 downgrade. Keep up the great work, JB

one more reason tage should be with the big club

The Sabres have 8 forwards with a combined 10 goals. I think I found the issue.

2/3 of the forwards on the roster have 10 total goals combined
