Just got to Reeding.

I dont need analytics to see Dell and Tokarski are NOT NHL Goalies. Anderson can play still but lets face it 40 year olds get hurt in this game...

Our Tandem is pretty awful right now, Lets face it, if your team is scoring 4 or 5 goals a game and still losing, it taint the team i am worried about..

Trade Bjork for whatever you can get.

I'd start playing R2 higher in the line-up get his value up a bit and try and get a young RHD for him. We have yet to use him effectively this year.

Anybody on the fence for Genesis tickets this Saturday. As low as $ 75.00 on StubHub
Doesn't look like a sellout

Hope he is one of them, and finds his game soon.
- Buff36

he's been showing some exceptional stickwork...very noticeable in the last game as many jackets jocks were left on the rink...and the thing i noticed most when he was doing that was how effortless he made it look

He has looked a little more comfortable the last few games. Like to see him turn the corner, it was nice to see him show a little gumption against Columbus

Who was arguing the Goaltending would be fine?
From what I've read on here, most have been somewhat surprised it was as good as it was earlier on...and most realized that if Anderson went down they'd be in trouble.

The issue bandied about on here has been should Adams make a move to help this roster more.
Some say yes as they're sick of the losing; while others want to stay the course to realize a higher draft pick in July.

A few people who were deluded enough to think it could hold up while we made a run at they playoffs
They had some wishful thinking going on for sure

There were many. I do recall.

Who would have thought relying on a 40 YO who hadn’t played in essentially 2 years was a bad idea.

The fast start was nice
But this team doesn’t have the talent yet to compete for the playoffs

Not that I’m cheering for us to lose, bc I’ll never do that
But getting a high end talent in this coming draft would certainly be a really nice addition to the bulk of talent we’ve already been accumulating

I think we’re headed in the right direction at least
But I’ve been wrong about that before….

Friedman & Marek discuss goalie options for the Sabres, Marek throws out Holtby's name since it looks like Oettinger has taken the crease there, also throws out Koskinen's name again. They both wonder about Jake Allen as a possibility, he was in trade rumours in the offseason.

Jake Allen seems unlikely since no one knows when Price will be back.

Friedman: "You do have to reward your kids, you have to give them a chance to win, so you got to get somebody in there quickly, I think, if you know Anderson can't play".

And conversely I can't understand why people accept another tank when when we have the best prospect since Dennis Potvin on our roster.

Try to win as many games as you can. If youre not good i can accept that. When you artificially end my season in November because youre afraid of icing the best roster i cant accept that.

it's not gonna change what they are doing

What a poopty writer.
He needs to check his writing before hitting send.

If Luukkonen isn’t ready they can got the trade route.


John Vogl of The Athletic: The Buffalo Sabres have goaltenders Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, Devon Levi and Erik Portillo in the system but they are ready. They are currently running Aaron Dell and Dustin Tokarski while Craig Anderson is hurt.

They are ready?
Say what now?

Didn't really pay attention, was more looking at names.
