68 points last 82 games for the Sabres.

When the Sabres tanked for Eichel they had 54 points.

The team over the last 82 games is 14 points better than a team who purpose tanked a year.

Sounds like a patience deficiency.

Going to miss you Patch. You raised the level of discourse on this site.

Michael Pachla: It's been a good run. TY everyone...plus, my Sabres 50th Anniversary Team

I blame myself.

You go to box.

2 minutes.

Feel shame.

Dat defensive depth tho

The natives are getting restless. +/- 5 games until the "jayyyy-sonnnn" chants start

I’ll take the under.

Or....

hey Erod, you've had ample opportunity to carve out a spot on this CENTER-STARVED team, because, well you know, you play center, but you can't get out of your own way. And you have 1 goal in the last 51 games, and that went in off your (frank)ing leg.

The BN has a good article on it

Rodrigues recorded a season-high six shots on goal with one assist in 13:54 during a 3-1 loss in Ottawa on Dec. 23, only to play 6:29 against the Boston Bruins four days later.

"I think you always believe in yourself and always have that confidence," Rodrigues said. "Yeah, a game like that kind of gives you a little boost, and it’s frustrating for myself to not see myself do that consistently. That’s kind of what I see myself as and what I want to be doing. I just want to be playing and getting those chances."

Congrats on your good game. Here's a scratch for you

Typical.

Bury your head instead of making the most out of the ice time you get.

Guy is yet another fragile minded, small, soft wheel spinner on a team full of them.

He did make the most of it...

And then he played 6 minutes the next game. But man, Dalton Smith really made that minute and a half count

He’s got that punch people in the face ability though.

Burying 1 or 2 of those 6 shots would be making the most of it. dude can't score! he also sucks half the oxygen out from the bench area, leaving other guys with less and tiring them out.

Signing a player like that to a two-way deal mid-season was the last straw for me. This team has run out of answers.

Cozens with 2 assists so far.

So let's replace him with a guy with 26 goals in 340 AHL games. It's a can't-fail strategy!

When the thought of JB bringing in help to the Sabres came up, the last thing I was thinking of was something like Roadhouse.
Speed? Scoring? Defensive play?
Nah, face punching.

It's a results driven league.

You guys all want Botterill out of here. Lack of results, right?

He can take your boy Erod with him.

I don't know, man. I can tell you one thing, demanding a trade when you're playing real poorly takes some stones.

And I've agreed repeatedly. Botterill needs to get Bogo and Erod out of here. So do it. Instead, he keeps both and signs a guy with elite pugilistic abilities.

Waive them and tell them not to report to Roch. If they want out, they can sit at home

What a mess we are right now. And how on Earth is it so quiet? We're spinning out of control and we hear literally nothing about it from anybody. Nice accountability.

There's this thing called the Collective Bargaining Agreement that makes this a no-no.
