crazy negative fans because no playoff series wins in 13 years


and posters saying other posters will not be missed when dead


then again if we win the cup in 6 games, people will b!tch because they did not win it in 4 or 5 games

I don't think we have to worry about this.
I mean, it has only been 50 years.

I saw a new Blog with Sabres logo, so started reading it.
Got to this part and thought, what the hell is Pach smoking?

Botterill has multiple trade irons in the fire. The time is appropriate for Botterill to trade a defenseman or two for a top six and a bottom six forward.

Prior to the injury insect biting Buffalo on the ass, Botterill was dealing from a position of strength with his NHL GM peers calling him regularly to try to convince Botterill to trade away a defenseman.


If only this were true, lol. I stopped reading there.

Sorry Pach for questing your integrity

Any word on the Okposo injury, saw some speculation it could be career threatening. 4 in 3 years is a big deal.

John Gilmour will be a forward tonight.

If I didn’t have so much apathy towards this team, I would be furious that they are at that point.

I'm actually a fan of this move. Now scratch Vesey and play Miller on the other wing.

(frank) it. At least Gilmour is fast

I'm guessing Okposo will go on LTIR while he/they evaluate his future. Bogo can come back that way. Bogo will be a solid RW for this team

I love the "hindsight" that people knew Drats was going to be better than Sam. Not one single person on this planet knew he'd be a 100 point forward. Not one. And no one thought Bennett would be this useless.
- TheSabresTaco


I compared Leon to Malkin and Reinhart to Backstrom. Leon is a lot closer to Malkin, heck the Jagr comparison might even come into play now.

Reinhart is our new Pominville. He will have a long career and produce good numbers. He’s currently our 2nd best forward but is that a blessing or a sign of why we are where we are ?

I doubt he retires but I think he probly should. He didn’t even get hit that hard on the play.

Does not hurt to try this. If we have Evan Rodriguez on the second powerplay, then why not?

I know what its like to have 2... but to have twice that i cant imagine the long term effects it will have.

I kind of think this is it for him. He has a glass jaw. Someone needs to get through to him. He's a prime candidate for CTE and he has his whole life to think about

Or he can go to LTIR, knowing the team won't clear him and get his contract paid out full term.

I mean, it sounds far fetched, but honestly Bogo would be a top-9 RW on this team. There's your forward toughness and a guy to dig pucks out of the corner

Scandella sitting is so odd. I would point to it being a sign for a move in the works, but then again Krueger has been confusing with the lineup already.

That is the key IMO, it looked like he barely was hit..more like brushed by him. Obviously not, but I can't imagine having that happen. And think it is a good thing to come back in a caged environment where physicality is a major component of his game now.

I nominate you for the Sabres scouting staff and if Reinhart is the next Pominville when we were supposed to/hoped to get something more from a 2nd overall then we have a problem. I was never Pominville's biggest fan. Nice player but complimentary. This will upset Poms fans

He wouldn't be able to if he retires.
