Nice post, I agree. Nice to see Krueger is making some adjustments, now he just needs to break up McCabe and Risto

They played a lot less last night than they have all season. Bogosian led the team in minutes, which I don't think I am a fan of either, but that's a positive trend. They lost a game to Boston in which they played well in, but beat a Florida team they got manhandled by in the shot department.

panic move


and a bad one at that

- homiedclown



I definitely fail to see how that would have improved our roster.

Thankfully Carter said no.

That's interesting, you're right, a lot of teams go through FL just like the Sabres are doing today and tomorrow. I wonder how many more backups, and points, the Panthers have gotten because of it.
- Wetbandit1

More points because of it?? Oh contraire mon frere, those backups have all parlayed that into being starters for other teams now. 😏 That's two times this year for that blanket-carrying bastard of yours in Buffalo 😅.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, but who was going back the other way?


And no offense, Homie, but Carter doesn't have any kind of clause like that.

We let up shots but chances weren’t that great.

We had 7 high danger chances to 5 for Florida

Sabres did a good job in transition on the Olofsson and Girgs goals. Eichel was Eichel

I caught a little of the game last night and what really stick out to me was, Holy poop there is NOBODY in the stands!!

If there was 7500 ppl there it would be a lot.

unless okposo was going back, and I highly doubt it

it would have been a horrible trade

carter is on the decline

cap hit for 3 more years at roughly 5.5 per

and he will be 37 on the third year left


if you firmly believe either casey or cozens is your long term second center, you go after a guy with 1 or 2 years left

say Perreault, Eakin etc



thank god carter said no

Admittedly, I watched maybe 5 minutes of that game after I got home from the Bills game. I saw the shot total and highlights.

He doesn't have a NTC, NMC, or anything of the sort.

I think you need to check your source.

If Okposo was somehow involved then it would be fine with me. But you're talking about a 1st round pick (maybe +) at that point

That felt good yesterday with both teams winning, but looking good doing so.

Was good to see Olofsson score with a great give and go with Reino. Guys seemed to have some pep in their step, and were going to the net. Ralphie and staff have circled the wagons nicely.

I think the eichel "fight" turned the season around.

Everyone has a lot more respect for their captain

Lol. Really? Now teams are conferring w the player, who has no clause whatsoever? Not.

They don't have to ask or tell the player ANYTHING.

They can just trade him. What do the Kings care?

I certainly think that had an impact. It was sad it had to come to that, there was no life to the team at that point.

Why is your best scoring threat fighting? I get Girgs doesn't do that type of stuff, but that is traditionally falls to the person occupying his line.

No, I don't want a goon, but I also don't want the person with a 100 point potential season doing it for sure.

Maybe the agent told botts?

Could be represented by someone who has sabres connections?

Maybe Blake is trying to be a good guy?

We dodged a bullet regardless.

Unless more was coming back, it's for the best.

No. You're right. We don't want Carter, regardless.
