I was irrationally angry about the goaltending last year and it's going to be so much (frank)ing worse if he doesn't do something about it this year.

My issue is that if you were going to wait on goaltenders, you might as well sink or swim with Luukonen, which is what they were forced to do anyway.

Konency and Provorov - what would it take to acquire them?
- washedup20


Throw in Hart and just give philly the next 2 years of picks.

Bergeron probably retiring
Pasta has openly said he won't resign there while sweeney is still GM
Marchand... well he'll be there for a minute.

The team two points behind the Sabres.

Dorion - we owe it to our players to do something to help the push. Our players said please do something. I also made a promise to Claude Giroux to get something done.

Why the (frank) do we have a 41 year old goalie and 2 guys who sometimes play below average at best
- TheSabresTaco


This^^^
Just shows that they weren't in it for this year. When expectations end up higher than expected then you adjust (a bit). Now what?

thank kim and terry
- homiedclown


kim and terry didn't know ralph krueger.

while they share enough blame, jason botterill put those players on this team and those people on his staff.

(frank) that.

Botterill tried to get Krueger to interview during the time he hired Housley. That was 100% his guy.

top 5 gm was wrong about comrie
- homiedclown


I liked the comrie gamble, it made a lot of sense. especially considering the rest of the ufas.

now that the team has shown it is ready to appear in the playoffs, something MUST be done with a short to mid term, real entity in goal.

UPL wins games because the team in front of him is scoring goals in buckets to bail him out

I would rather Adams go after Provorov.


I watched the cbus game and it seemed like Power played the entire game. That kid is an absolute STUD

Adams, needs to focus on defensive dman and GRIT.

- washedup20


I like Provorov a lot too, but Philly is supposedly asking for a fortune and he's another LHD

My suace told me Krueger and Botts had a backdoor agreement before hiring that Ralphie would get Botts over the hump of the relentless negotiations with ownership on adding jalapenos to the nacho cheese.

The only reason Botts got fired was because he wouldnt fire the cheese guy so Terry had to pull the trigger.

If I had to power rank sources giving us inside information.

Gerbe would be #1 and 89 would be #2.


My source is a mid level Sabres employee. So I would say mine is 4th or 5th

- Sabretooth9


So Gerbe/89/tooth - should we be expecting nothing in the next 30 hours, or something?
