No need to bite today or tomorrow.

That's my point.

Our conversations were enjoyable, now it's just a bunch of gibberish.

Hurt 28 bs., you've stooped to below my level and should be ashamed of yourself.

Your better than this.

bills 45
chiefs 24

- homiedclown

I have it 45 - 21 Bill's

-Bill's much healthier than the last 4 weeks
-Chiefs have some key injuries to their DB core...3 rookies against Diggs, Davis, McKenzie, Shakir, Knox, Cook shapes up to a B I G day for Josh
- Miller and Rouseau applying outside pressure Edmunds spying to contain Mahome's scrambling / chaos making plays
- Milano relatively containing Kelce ... keep his YAC down.

LET'S GO BUFFALO!!!
GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why must you always jump in?

Never an original thought.

Your posts suck and are barely readable.

- Boss34

OK, sure never a original thought. What do you bring Boss, you post the same crap about 2 players. I know it's hard on you cause Girgensons time is coming to a end soon. But memories!!

Same as last season with Krebs. He may be single easiest player in the NHL to knock over. It's not that he doesn't try to get a puck along the wall; it's that he physically can't. He can pass to anyone anywhere. That's about it.

Right now Krebs is VO, with passing instead of shooting.

Asplund is completely overrated.

Very easy to build a line without him.

Glorified ahl player, he's gonna be replaced soon

- Boss34


Nonsense.

Let's take the Florida game where Asplund's line matched Barkov's. Barkov had 2 assists on the night but was a +/- 0. Somehow Asplund was a +1. 5 on 5 the Asplund line outplayed Barkov's line. People may not want to believe that, but they did. Don't tell me he wasn't a part of that.

The refs had as much to do with Florida's win as the Panthers did.

Imagine watching the Sabres play these two games and thinking Peyton Krebs has outplayed Alex Tuch.

Where on earth did it SAY that?
It isn't adjusted for LoC

I agree with you in what they are missing.

For a team to be really good, you need 3 players like Tuch at forward and one like him on defense.

They need 2 more at forward so they have one to anchor each of the top 3 lines.

Players like Tuch are difficult to find, but it is what they are sorely lacking.

Wonder if Debrincat or Robertson bring that specific quality, lol.

Both home games were terrible for krebs.

You're right with the physicality, level 0 for Krebs.

Vinnie in, krebs or quinn out vs. Edmonton

What happens if Pillsbury MittSnickerdoodle or even Krebs doesn't grab a C spot and Savoie isn't ready right of the bat or ever at C. Ostlund needs to put on 20lbs, he's a few years away. Kulich is a interesting guy but he looked better at W. Kozak or Nadeau are your 4C of the future IMO. But will really hurt if 1 of those 2 don't step up.
- Buff36


Not directed at you 36...more the topic itself...
Need a whole new L1 IMO.
Not sure who ends up there...probably at least 1 isn't in the system yet. Hence why the year if evaluation and development is critical.
Not 2 games,lol.

Guys advocating for roster changes are the problem...finally got Pegula's to settle the (frank) down, now certain fans need to as well.

Whatever dude. You're trying at least, you're just limited.

Girgensons isnt going anywhere, you probably booed fred Jackson and kyle Williams too. πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

You've turned into a complete troll. Gets old.
Would be nice if you were right about anything , ever πŸ˜€

Girgensons had a beautiful snipe.

Tied the game, then the back up goalie let in 1 more than the other team .

Assplund has 0 impact on winning games

- Boss34


Yes, to those who talk during the game rather than watch it...the replays on the scoreboard dont show the whole play.

Girgensons controls that line.

Now your voting for selke larry too πŸ˜€

Holding barkov to a 162 point pace isnt outplaying him ☝️

Nope, and probably won't for ~25 - 40 more games, the point is it is critical development period and he has a history of slow starts...then getting it.

Tage should be the target if these discussions...he needs to step it up big time...become the play driver on the line, not a guy who needs it (Tuch) done for him.

- IonSabres



Granato changing lines exposing how valuable Tuch is to Tage excelling should be the discussion.

This has been the problem of the organization since Terry bought the team. Now during an assessment year where Krebs etc are learning on the fly….the Sabres ownership have extended management when their plan is just getting started….sound familiar?

The Sabres jumbotron never shows any of the replays aside from goals or questable replay goals.

Been lucky to sit in the clubs both games.
You get a tremendous view.

Doesnt make my opinion right or wrong, you just see more of the game in person.

Tuch is spectacular shift in and shift out
Dahlin is a highlight real before he leaves our zone

Ha, well played. That would be great, I’ve got a feeling Krebs will have Allen like progression this season on 3rd line minutes!

You seemed to be the one confused with how +/- works.

The "somehow" part πŸ˜‰

No, I'm not.

Barkov had two power play assists. His line was OUTPLAYED all night at even strength. What part don't you get? I guess you couldn't sense the dripping sarcasm coming from my post?

Club level seats are a good view.
You do see much more of the game in person, especially how players are without the puck. But I also find I can miss quite a bit if/when I get focused on a certain player, or on the check being finished where the puck just was.
