2 great wins in a row. Very solid
- jcragcrumple


It's a strange feeling. Playing well and Mitts, Sheary, and Bogo scratched. ERod barely played and our 4th line looks like a good 2nd line.

I was WAY ahead of the curve saying Larsson & Girgs could be decent players in the right roles
This was back when they were consistently in the top9, and even the top6

Miscast does not equal “terrible”

99% on this board were way off about them

I think u mean the “GOL” line 😂😂😂
- jdfitz77

Amazing how much pressure they put on the defense, constant puck pressure, they work hard for everything they get

I’ve wavered for two years. Erod is an AHL’er.

Just nothing there

Sheary can go

awesome game worth watching. I really love my hockey team again

If Botts can bring in a 2C or RW we could be extremely dangerous.

Send mitts to Rochester. Keep erod as the extra skater. Trade bogo for gally.

With that... how many positions do we really need to upgrade up front?

In no order...
1 Jack
2 Sam
3 Skinner

If you keep log line...
4 Swedish Lockport- extended
5 mustache Lockport. - extended
6 concussed Lockport - stuck

7 - Johansson
8 - Vesey - extended, if he keeps playing this way
9 - Cozens should crack the lineup

10 - Olofsson- should be extended.
11 - Asplund?
12

Are we really only two - three forwards away from playoff hockey on the regular?

- Gr8daygo


You forgot Mittelstadt
So if he can turn into even 80% of the player he was “supposed” to be
And Cozens can be good sooner than later...
then this team is CONSISTENT goaltending away from scaring some of the top teams
Not yet on their level...
but playoff upset potential

Imo of course

Botts’ team is starting to take form

If Erod could think and skate at the same time he would be dangerous with that speed, but it just doesn't happen

Sabres 1 - 0 in the post-Bogo era. May Bogo never touch the ice again as a Sabre.

Can we really argue the effectiveness of the 11F and 7D though ? Each d-man is playing their own role and the team is 6-3-2 in the last 11.

I want mitts in Rochester until he proves something and gets his confidence back. I did forget tage. Again has proved a bit more in Rochester but currently injured.

Just find it interesting how far the 3rd line that was Mitts, Sheary, Vesey, and/or ERod has fallen. They've basically been replaced by rolling 3 lines.

I am dead serious. I love the the 11f 7d technique. If they brought up Pilut and went 10f/8d... that would be legit

I mean Vesey did score tonight and looked good with Mojo and Skinner.

Erod and Sheary are useless and have been since game 1.

Agreed. It is surprising that they don't have him down there already because supposedly Botts likes to develop the players in the minors. Oloffson is a great example of a guy who they developed perfectly in the minors.

Botts screwed up with Tage last this but got it right this year with him. Unfortunately he screwed up with Mitts as well. Down he needs to go.

But having said all of this, I am very happy to be a Sabres fan. A tremendous win tonight and now 3 in a row!
