That’s a helluva lot better than 4-1, right?

Nothing stopped Donnie from pulling Dell after goals 2,3, and 4.

you were not happy when murray was forced to rush the rebuild, and the same for botts


why are you so impatient now when they are doing the right thing?

- homiedclown



Getting a competent goalie and doing what Murray did are completely different.

Look at Brad Marchant laughing - laughing - at our team, on our ice. Because he knows he has nothing to worry about. losers don't fight back. Jeb Bush would be a great Sabre.

The last time the Bs (frank)ed with Dahlin he manned up and played tougher.

Boston is in a transitional period. Their core is aging. They don’t have elite goaltending or toughness anymore. But they are playing like they do. Teams that call their bluff are successful against them.

I expect a RD
a proven goalie

and either a top 6 center or winger in the offseason

maybe I am an optimist

- homiedclown


Gonna be tough to get quality free agents to come here
Maybe we could overpay?
But anyone who is any good is gonna have options with better teams, and likely for decent $$$ at least

Unless we are getting these guys in trades,
i think u might be expecting too much

no kamara for the saints tomorrow

So our defense should be able to handle business
Hopefully the offense gets their sh!t together
Saints do have a pretty solid defense

Jeb, Rand Paul...

They have this notion good manners and decency will get them somewhere. Lol

We think watching Patty La, Chris Drury, Ryan Miller, Dylan Cousins etc picking themselves up off the ice is better than being aggressive.

Trying to secure a decent goalie isn't rushing the rebuild. Flipping a bunch of prospects for a veteran center/winger/defenseman would be. But a couple picks for a goalie isn't going to hurt anything. Letting the young guys on this roster get caved in 5 goals a night is more detrimental to this team going forward than not. Not winning for years and years and years is why we're here.... Again.

They didn’t record a shot the last 10 minutes of the period.

Even with Hasek in net they are still losing this game.

They got flat out steam rolled ever since the Okposo goal.

Shot attempts were 29-15 Bruins

Bruins using beach balls or pucks?

Typical Sabres, always an excuse as to why we can't move forward.
- SABRES 89


No excuses
We just aren’t very good
Team isn’t very talented
And we all knew this going in to the season

What were u expecting ??

72 impresses me every game at some point. He's our best and most talented player. Higher upside than 26.

26 was overhyped from jump street. 72 looks better all the time.

That rushed rebuild is also why their goaltending is in this state. Darcy drafted Ullmark, JB drafted UPL. That void in between caused this.

Thompson is having a career year.

Asplund is solidifying himself as a solid middle 6 forward.

Olofsson has looked very good in limited minutes.

Cozens is having a great sophomore season so far.

Other than Dahlin being meh, everyone who matters is doing quite well, or being kept miles away from Buffalo (Power, Johnson, Krebs, Quinn, Peterka, Samuelsson, Levi, Portillo)

I could care less about making a run to 8th. Give me one of Wright, Savoie, Cooley, Geekie and make some good hockey moves this offseason and try to win next year

How hard is it to find a journeyman starter when you have more cap space than anyone in the league? No excuse. We're not asking for Pat Roy.
