Never go full Fitz

What happened to you? Who hurt you?

- BeadyEyedDouche

Tuch has been fine, but I cant imagine hes at 100% right now with coming back from injury and those two nasty falls he's had this year.

That potentially great news for Sabres fans.

Other hockey players have had ADR before him, just weren't NHL players.

Chris Weidman is the UFC fighter. He's not retired, but has been out because he snapped his shin in half in gruesome fashion.

- Lunaion


Interesting, didn't know that, I'd read that neck injury itself was just too bad for the first UFC guy who got it. I didn't think it was Weidman, but apologies if I'm fake newsing this.

Dude not everyone here is going to hate Eichel to his core like you do.

If you don’t think Tuch’s play has slowed down (and EVERYONE should’ve known it would) then idk what to tell you.

And yes, he was demoted to a line and has played LESS minutes including under 14 minutes a few games ago

That’s a demotion

The heater he took off the goal post would've killed me I think.

Read something about the Sabres being 5th in offense and 32nd in goaltending since may 1st?

Is this true?

What happened to all the posters ( one super brilliant poster in particular) that kept blaiming the offense still?

It's been a terrible goaltending season ...

To say he got demoted is absolutely ridiculous, however.

Yeah, his production slowed down. But "worn out" is a ridiculous take. Almost as ridiculous as finding a way to constantly mention Tyler Myers despite him being gone for like 8 years now.

He's also playing with Krebs who is nowhere near his potential and Mitts who also came back from injury and has not been consistent. Insytead of playing with our 2 best point producers.

I think Don wanted to get Olof going before the end of the season to see and show what he can do on a top line.

These numbers seem large to me, IMO.

I see Tallness landing in the 7-7.5 long term, again IMO.

- ImThatGuy


I respect your opinion. 🤝

Similar to dirty d.

Buying out free agent years as a #1 6 7' center kinda has me at 8 million

Nah, just check his ice time the last two weeks compared to where he was.

Im not even saying it’s because he was bad, because he hasn’t been bad at all.

There could be another fighter who had it, but Weidman definitely did and recovered well.

Fwiw, he did have a lull in there for a few games. But I think saying he's slowed "way" down is a bit overboard. He had a bad trip down south, but he's got 5 points in his last 6 games and looks to be moving again. I agree with ThatGuy in the sense that I think he's playing hurt a bit again and that explains the dip here. He's still scoring at the best ppg pace of his career I believe...

There’s two other people here telling you he’s not 100% and you’re still acting like it’s out of the blue.

Who's fault was the demotion?

Everyone but eichel and his 31 games played.


Really odd that your continuing to back that f+ck face?

April 30th or may 2nd seems like stranger days to start counting?

May 3rd and 4th too 🤔

Start of the month, 12 per year...

Dude he's had TWO whole games under 16 minutes in the past 10.

Demotion? You're something else man.

Makes sense, it does seem like Jack made the best choice for himself medically. I just flashed on what Beady said as I thought it was relatively untested in contact sports. Weidman is a big enough name I thought I'd have remembered him, but you're right I'm not finding anyone else on my searches.

No, there's two people saying maybe he isn't 100% still, while you're saying he is "worn out" and has been demoted.

There's a big difference there. If you can't see that, idk what to tell you.

Jesus
Kaprizov
Marner

Buf19 is having a problem with goaloffson in the top 9 forwards for next season?

Now donnie the center whisperer has him back on line 1.

Good coaching, bad posting
