The new blogs are awesome! Keep up the good work!

Refreshing to read someone who talks about usages and actual plays and techniques, instead of the typical Buffalo fallbacks of effort and toughness. It's like the only point Paul Hamilton or Rob Ray ever make, regardless of what happens on the ice.

Skinner “only” 7 🤢

Nothing wrong with his contract. We overpaid by 1 million. It’s okay to overpay elite talent.

Overpaying average to bad talent is bad. See okposo.

That Girgs with Eichel lasted all of 20 min before Vesey was moved to his lie again. I’m not opposed to Frolik on the top line
But I kinda like Vesey with Eichel

- lulags



Krueger shortened the bench in the third....put the larsson, girgs, okposo line back togther and Vesey on Eichels line.

When he was scoring earlier in the year, people were thrilled. He is hurt now so all 8 years are a disaster. Seems like a nice balanced reaction.

If anything, Skinner is going to be great to have on this team when I have six actual top six forwards. Currently we have four, and he was the odd man out on the first line, so he is irrelevant. Get two more good forwards and suddenly it doesn't matter which line he is on.

Good article here regarding the Bruins:

https://www.stanleycupofc...rent-frederic-bruins-news

Here's an excerpt that should ring familiar with Sabres fans:

"Certain segments of Bruins Nation are upset.

Upset with Rask getting knocked out of Tuesday night’s game. Upset with opponents running Charlie McAvoy or Torey Krug or Matt Grzelcyk. And most of all, upset with the lack of response from Bruins teammates while all of this was happening.

Hot takes abound social media and the comments section of this website, calling this the softest team in Bruins history and screaming to bring in players like Ryan Reaves no matter the price."

So dumb. This might be the best team the bruins have had. #1 in the league. I don't think it's a problem.

Always liked the player. Glad he may have finally gotten it all together. No problem if they bring him back.

He scored 7 goals in the first 16 games playing with Mojo and Sobotka. After that he scored 4 more goals in the next 23 games. He also finished with a negative +/- five times with Sobotka and 11 times without.

Even though people will continue to bítch about JBotts and/ or Kreuger, prior to injuries that line was our best scoring line and on pace for 62 goals. Oh yeah, Mojo had 4 goals in 16 with Sobotka and 2 goals in 25 games without him.

And don't tell JCrags, but JBotts brought in that entire line.

Don't shoot the messenger, this is a Boston reporter. If they think their team is too soft, imagine how they view our team?

Stop making excuses, Skinner is a good Hockey player, he might not have been playing with the best talent, but he was getting scoring chances, he was in a slump, stop blaming his linemates.

I dunno, are the sabres soft? Legit question. They don't really have small players. I think they are just bad. If anything most of their forwards are more of checkers than scorers.

Nope, you make anything over 8 Million and you should be able to do it all by yourself.

More Antonio Brown

"football season over you both can use pallet of @DićksByMail"

Responding to this:

"Agent Drew Rosenhaus conditionally terminated his relationship with Antonio Brown today until the free-agent WR seeks counsel, per an NFLPA source. Rosenhaus wrote in the letter that the NFLPA received today that he would like to work with Brown, but not until he first gets help."
