Over the last two years, the most important Bills game

2021 vs Chiefs - Allen was fantastic

2021 vs Patriots to lock up division- Allen was fantastic

2021 vs Patriots and Chiefs in playoffs - Allen was historic

2022 vs Chiefs- Allen was fantastic

2022 vs Miami to basically win division - Allen was great

The national media and people fawning over Burrow are in for an All time Allen performance on Monday

Can’t wait

Whether they miss by a few or make it, doing almost nothing will be a terrible look and one that will turn a lot of fans against this management group

If they believe their top 6 is set, I'm not sure how impactful the moves will be that they would make.

Maybe sign Damon Severson to lock up their top 4 D?

I'd have no problem looking to upgrade both wing positions for Cozens to really solidify his ascendancy, which would move the duo of Peterka and Quinn to the 3rd line.

It would enhance their forward depth big time, but I don't see them doing that.

If you want to improve the team to make a playoff run, it almost has to be upgrading Bryson, Mitts, or VO.

Much more likely that they just spin this as 'heading in the right direction'.

Aren’t most teams over the traditional top 6/bottom 6 designations at this point?

I’m not cementing Quinn/Peterka as bonafide 17 minute a night forwards yet. I believe they get there, but there’s room for a significant forward addition

No! Rather have say a Crouse who could pop me 20-25 goals, plus the hits and PK.
- Buff36


I'd rather have crouse too.

I think your paying a guy like crouse, (20-25 goal scorer) the same as olofsson?

4.75 per for 2 years.

That's not 4th liner money though, replacing the lion eater.

He’s a 7/8 emergency call up d-man.

I agree with you.

A lot funner when you can talk about a few tweaks that could really improve your team. Compared to how it used to be.

There was doubt because that's what a few teams are dealing with right now.

Kulich is also doing it at 18. Plenty of reason to think he's miles ahead of them in development.
- Lunaion

quinn and peterka dominated the ahl at 19 though

kulich is putting up decent numbers but not dominating like they did last year

? for Lunaion or 39. If Johnson's rights are traded. If he doesn't sign with that team do they get that Comp. Pick in the 2nd or is that wiped when the trade is made. Thanks
- Buff36

whoever has his rights gets that late 2nd rd pick once he becomes a free agent

That's interesting, basically olofsson money for the next 2 years. Then 2 years of our inevitable financial crunch.

He would be a good replacement for olo , not girgensons IMO. Girgensons is more a 2 years 4 million guy.

That's fine. What he's doing at 18 is extremely impressive.

Think he should be in position to compete for a spot in camp, not blocked behind Mitts and Girgs.

You were probably over rating pilut.
Majority of posters overrated him.

He is basically an extra ahl tweener like elmer asplund.

No suprises here 👊

agreed

his improvement is exactly why if the nhl teams sign kids at 18 and 19, that they should be able to be developed by their AHL coach no matter where they were born

Girgensons is needed to teach the 18 year old how to play in the nhl.

Tie his skates in the lockerroom

Hoping this is inaccurate...

ERIE COUNTY ACTION: the Niagara Action has learned from a source at the Buffalo Police Department that there is a significantly higher number of deceased individuals than what has been reported at this point. The specific quote from this officer was that “there are so many (1/3)

dead bodies, there isn’t enough room to store them.” The Erie County Medical Examiners Office has already released a statement through County Executive Mark Poloncarz that there are several unidentified "John Doe" and "Jane Doe" victims from the blizzard. If you believe a (2/3)

loved one could be among them, please contact your local law enforcement agency. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those affected by this tragedy (3/3).

TRUE ANGEL IN BUFFALO 💯

A local woman received a call on Christmas Eve, “Hi, you don't know me but I have your brother.”

The woman’s brother’s name is Joey. He is 64 years old and mentally disabled. Joey works at The North Park Theater so his sister believes he went there Thursday, got scared and stayed over, and then decided to walk back to his home.

A woman named Sha'Kyra Aughtry heard someone crying and asking for help. Her boyfriend Trent went outside to look and found Joey and carried him out of the snow bank and into their home.

Joey was so frozen they had to cut his socks off, use a hairdryer to dry his pants that were frozen to his legs, and cut the straps of a Wegmans bag from his hands.

Sha'Kyra, a mother of three children, fed Joey, cleaned him, washed his clothes, gave him warm blankets and did everything she could to make him comfortable until she could find help.

Sha'Kyra had family FaceTime Joey, which he was fascinated by, to keep him preoccupied from the pain. This is such a heartfelt story, it's almost unbelievable.

Had it not been for Sha'Kyra, Joey would have died.

The frostbite on Joey’s hands looked like it was turning gangrene. Helpless, Sha'Kyra posted a plea on Facebook for emergency help. Kind strangers came to Sha'Kyra’s home and plowed and carried Joey outside wrapped in a blanket to their truck to drive him to the hospital.

Sha'Kyra took the ride with Joey to the hospital so he would feel safe. “No one is going to hurt you honey,” she said to him as they arrived and nurses took him into their care.

Joey had fourth degree frostbite. He is currently in the burn unit at ECMC.

Joey’s sister says Sha'Kyra Aughtry saved her brother’s life. What she and her boyfriend did is an act of pure love.

We’ve never seen a story like this before. It’s truly remarkable.

God bless Sha'Kyra.

This is you, somehow justifying pilut's nhl value.

I'm just repeating your words and opinions.
