They’re stats for almost everything. Stats are not conclusions. That’s up to the people making the decisions

There’s things that stats don’t show too though

What analytic show how defense is focused towards Eichel vs Sam vs Olofsson for example?

And no stat ever tells the complete story either
If they did,
then we’d never be surprised when (x) player breaks out, or (y) player takes longer to develop, and so on

Stats should be used to help reinforce what you’re seeing with your eyes
I don’t wanna say ppl use them in a vacuum,
but it’s quite amusing to me when ppl try to use this stat or that stat to compare guys who they watch play only a couple times a year

Keep playing solid hockey boys... resign olo as soon as you can. May as well take care of Lazar while you’re at it. And just lock Samson up so we can stop the trade talk.

Keep playing Miller!

I’m curious to see what botts does at the deadline.

What do you put the over/ under at?

I’m thinking 2 out possibly 3, 1 back...

Nothing major till the offseason.

Still can’t go into next year with mitts as the 2c.

Cozens should start on the 3rd line...

It would have been nice to see how Tage progressed through the year, he’s a wild card at Rw. If he learns to use his reach, he could Be a heck of a pk guy. And hopefully he can figure his accuracy out. I don’t think he will never be a tough gritty guy. I think Gerbe has more grit in him than Tage ever will.

Olo. Jack. Samson
Skinner. Player x. Player y (Tage/Mitts)
Mojo. Larry (mitts/cozens). Cozens/mitts.
Asplund. Lazar. Okoposo.

Wild card: Tage- 2RW? - mitts - 3c/ 2RW
Cozens - 3RW / 3c.

And depending what the TDL and offseason bring, Tage and Mitts could start in Rochester and I’m fine with that!

If we could somehow get rid of Okposo,
my ideal 4th line (checking unit) would be:
Girgensons-Larsson-Lazar
Or switch them around however,
they can all play each position

All 3 of them deserve to be back
And I’d sign them to multi year deals even

I’ve got no problem with that. As long as its cost effective to do so.

And yes, okoposo is a problem but at some point, there are going to be too many concussions. And we aren’t far from that point.

My pipe dream is Domi at 2c. He just has that tenacity that’d fit perfect.

Skinner. Domi. Tage/ Mitts.

I could get down with that. And he can shift to the wing when cozens is ready...

They really aren’t far but finding that center is gonna be difficult. It’ll be 3 years, he’s gotta fix it.

My fault
I’m just not as grouchy about things as many on here are

We’ve still go a ways before we are top2 in our division
But getting to 3rd is within reach without having to do anything all that drastic

Plus... we are gonna get some lotto luck this year
I’ve got a good feeling

- jdfitz77

It's good to hear someone being positive, cause we aren't as far of as some think. As Pegs pointed out, if we would have just gotten. 500 hockey from Hutton through the last 3 months we would be playing meaningful hockey right know. As some have pointed out a few added pieces and a couple of the youngins take the next step and this team takes the next step. I like his heart and the way he's been playing but if they can get Okposo to retire would really help this team in many ways.

I would like to see what Cozens could do at RW with Eichel. See how he handles it, could really give him some confidence. Drop Rhino down to 2RW and see what happens. Cozens is gonna be a good one.

I am thinking this if we don't get that 2C, the kid plays both, and seems to be able to do it smoothly.

ya know what. I don't even give a poop. If the Sabres keep him here, just score 40 pts.

What a sweet play in overtime by Jack and Olofsson. It was nice to see a player with the hockey sense to find that open area for that pass from Jack.

Anyone who says they weren't pissed that Allen was drafted is flat out lying.

I love the guy. The guy's All Buffalo. I have a lot of optimism that he continues to improve, based on past professional performance.

That's my favorite part of this play



90% of players are "driving the net" here and don't score

Kevyn Adams on the alumni jerseys:

I’m glad you asked because there has been a lot said about it. The truth is Mike Robitaille has had that jersey for a long time and he’s worn it out multiple times. In fact, he got it before, knew it was misspelled and likes to wear it. He showed up that day and put it on. It wasn’t something we gave him that night, but he wore it.

In terms of Dave Andreychuk, that was '80s Night and that jersey we did give him. There is a positive and negative to that. The negative is the jersey was misspelled. The positive is the error was caught in the hallway before he went on the ice. We were able to swap out the jersey and get him the correct one before he went on the ice.

I might want allen. Also, beanes a magician.
- TheSabresTaco

Hope Terry and Kim are happy.
FiIRE BEANE NOW.

HOW DO YOU SPELL BILLS
S-T-U-P-I-D

- IonSabres

Maybe Beane is smarter than most of us? Isn't Rosen a concussion away from being Mr Potato head ?
- LandlordTom

*checks in to see if GERBE slit his wrists...

Welcome to Buffalo, Josh!!! Go Bills!

- Powerslave

Have fun for next 18 years before next playoff game.
Holy poop Allen. SUCKS

- IonSabres

This is EJ Manuel 2.0

I will go on record here. I hope I'm wrong.

- BeadyEyedDouche

He is a much better prospect the EJ.
- Fattony1187

(frank) Beane...
YOUR “PROCESS” IS BULLSH!T
Worst pick in Bills history
Worse than (frank)ing Maybin over Orakpo
Worse than EJ
I'm so pissed

Rosen might have concussion issues,
but Allen plays like he has one when healthy

Allen f#cking sucks
We are screwed

- jdfitz77

Glad we got Allen
- SABRES 89

I feel so sick to my stomach I've never felt this way ever in my life
- gerbe75pts

Allen can make all the throws

3 step drop
5 step drop
7 step drop

looked great at the senior bowl with talented wr's

trust the process

- homiedclown

Nope,
Like 9 out of 10 football people think the same.
Put on your rose colored glasses, buy front row seats, enjoy!
Truly, enjoy it.

- IonSabres

I trust he won’t be EJ bad.

But I’ll take the 30+ games of film over one half of a senior bowl

- sbroads24


- Sabresfan-365

(frank).

THAT’s it...(frank)ing done with the Bills.

God, more stupid than the Giants!

Let’s go Dawgs!!!!

- IonSabres

what are you smoking?
- homiedclown

Like the Edmunds pick.

Now we just need to find a QB

- sbroads24

the people who make a living covering football like allen a lot
- homiedclown



Some of my favorite takes. The receipts don't like Fats, nothing terrible about Allen from you.

That interview was lightly salted with corporate bullpoop. But I appreciated it. Interesting how 'previous leadership' was blamed for the lack of goatheads. You have to wonder if those same people that were purged last year had something to do with missing that deadline.

The reiteration of 'we hear the fans' and 'we need to continue to be better' was. I don't know. Reassuring? Maybe it was nice to be recognized.
