Also a question if they even need to call anyone up, especially if there's no intent to play them. Close to home all week.

Might be looking at carrying 8D soon, with Pilut + Fitz not waiver exempt.

could be wrong, but if they just want an emergency guy, probably just end up being Sheahan.

Yeah probably right, I just think you have a chance to look at a player why not use it, aren't we evaluating prospects. I know what Hino brings.

Definitely a Monday when the Sabres call about all the exciting things going on at the sabres games and breaking records.... during a 5 game loosing streak and being a bottom 5 team..... and oh btw the family which my name is now on the tickets of being a sth since the building was built..... what bs are they trying to sling around here

Up and down times to be a season ticket holder.
25% of the home games (10) are in the rear view mirror.

Still hasnt snowed yet for the shameful walk to brush off the car after the game. Think on the briteside

Tissue paper soft. Should have given him an old fashioned while he was out there.

You know there is a middle ground between cupping Jack and going Dale Hunter. Something like finish a check.

- lacaprup


Most of the players we mutually like, would be finishing that check, regardless of past relationships.

Still have to catch eichel too

Based on what has been said, Quinn is out for the week and Okposo may continue to be out as well, which means at least one call up, if not two.

Forgot about Okposo, could be juggling roster spots if Joker is back. Guess Quinn to IR would be easy enough, if he's going to miss a week.

And brutal play calling, the red zone has become an enigma to this team, they get there and it's like they become over hyper.

There’s a bunch of things we gotta fix

True, but Okposo and Quinn are RW's so I would hope they would give another young Winger a shot. I don't know why I think these things I should know better.

Sabres’ lines/pairs at practice with only 11 forwards:
Skinner-Thompson-Tuch
Krebs-Mittelstadt-Olofsson
Girgensons-Cozens-Peterka
Asplund-Hinostroza

Power-Dahlin
Bryson-Jokiharju
Pilut-Lyubushkin
Fitzgerald rotating in

Love that 3rd line 👍

Probably sheehan at 4C with the promotion for good play

Quinn's been LW, so with Vinny for Okposo, RW's are set. Would love see someone new, but unlikely on a 5 games skid.

should have fired mcderp after the kc game and promoted daboll

Mcderp has no killer instinct
Horrible clock management
Terrible play calling
No blitzing

Who the (frank) runs a QB sneak out of their own end zone seriously I need answers

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Astros "have identified Anthony Rizzo as their No. 1 free-agent target at first base."
Rizzo still has to decide -- by the 4 p.m. ET deadline on Tuesday -- whether to accept or reject a one-year, $19.65 million qualifying offer from the Yankees. If he turns it down and officially hits the open market, the reigning World Series champions will apparently be rushing to the phone as they look to potentially replace free agent Yuli Gurriel. Rizzo, 33, registered an .817 OPS with 32 home runs and 75 RBI over 130 regular-season games for New York in 2022 before tallying eight RBI in nine postseason games.
