Sabres probably need some more old white guys.
- DonLuce20

If you're serious, I would agree as 99% of useful veteran nhl players are by definition "old white guys". If not, then you shouldve already shown your true virtue by disowning the nhl as a whole because of the overabundance of "old white guys" in the league.

You're very clever Señor Hank. I'm only trolling Mr. Laparoscope because of his knuckle dragging world views. White people don't need defending. It's the same stupid type of thinking like people who think everything useful in the world was invented in America. I once heard an old man tell his grandson that a deck arch bridge the child was marveling at was a product of good ole' American ingenuity. The Arch FFS! I'm fully aware of the NHL's "good old boys" club and am largely indifferent toward it.

if you were 18 years old, the last time you saw a playoff game with the sabres was when you were 6 years old

Decent list, a familiar face on there. And a couple could be available this offseason.

Maybe they should flow that through the Shower, maybe some of those Old White Guys might become "Cocaine Bear" on the ice.

Ask your hunch, who trades tom wilson and why?

Why would the caps trade the guy everyone wants?

It would have to be an eichel type deal.

I mean… who trades Timo Meier and why? I imagine the answers are similar.

Is it my fault you hate white people, or that you can't take a joke?

Vagisil is a good product I hear.

Please be sure to vote for Eric Comrie for the Rico award because shìtty goaltending is the ultimate representation of Kevin Adams' Buffalo Sabres.

Love Krebs in the role he’s in currently

Don’t understand why people are pining for him to move up to Thompson’s spot every time he misses a game or gets hurt

- sbroads24


Because anytime he gets any meaningful minutes with forwards who don’t fumble the puck in the slot like Okposo did last night, he looks the part.

Would have been a more efficient option then pigeonholing Mitts into the Centre position he hasn’t been able to play for years now.

Mitts needs to be a wing at this point

Thanks again for the daily reminders. I forget by lunch time - it's good to get the knowledge back.

For every great pass Krebs makes there’s 5 into skates that ruin an ozone possession or fail to clear the D zone. He still doesn’t know what he can get away with

He’s great in the role he’s in right now. He’s not expected to produce a lot and he doesn’t produce a lot.

He’s also played over 150 minutes with Olofsson and Mittelstadt and over 100 minutes with Peterka (and that’s just even strength or 5 on 5)

He’s got 23 points.

Not for nothing but Krebs hit the post last night with about 3 minutes left or whatever. Maybe less

I remember people laughing when I said he would maybe get to 10 goals this year before the year started.

Took one swirl with Skinner and Tuch against the Devils two nights ago, had incredible 20 second forecheck sequence leading up to the secondary assist on the Tuch goal.
