Yeah, I have kinda gotten used to not having Sabres hockey unfortunately. Don't get me wrong I love watching Hockey, but can live without it.

Somebody just mentioned it, and I've felt this way since spring---i no longer place much importance on sports....

I'll still watch and get energized by a Bills game, but its nothing to live and die by

Welp, 2 sides of that coin to me.
We would like to upgrade the G position
Az wants to cut salary.
Sounds like a natural fit.
Yet if AZ wants a 1st for Kruemper, then they can hold 50% of Kruemper's salary
Else, Mitts and Johansson maybe
Not a ton of teams need a G anymore.

He’s a bust since his last name isn’t Eichel or Rossi. Only room for one Jack here.

The odd part about Quinn is that 19 already. Adams and the clown show are banking on his 2nd offseason of focusing on hockey and hoping to see more growth and the sky is the limit

We shall see

I saw it mentioned here a while back how Josh donated $1,700, (or was it $17,000) to round the total donated up to, iirc, $100k. Total donations now almost at $700k. This story is heartwarming. Go Bills fans https://profootballtalk.n...f-josh-allens-grandmother

Thanks for clarifying that, it’s really nice to see people willing to donate to such a good cause.

True on all counts. A trade is there to be made but I don’t think they’ll pursue it

Thing is ullmark was really good last year, when healthy, except when short handed where his numbers were atrocious. Now, was the historically bad PK due to the goaltending, the players killing the penalties or both? Thats the big question that I don’t have the answer too

Let Girgensons absolutely putrid PK for last several years with various G's be an indicator to guide you.

Absolutely.

And apparently, some Arizona Cards fans donated also

I'm Girgensons' new skating coach. We're working on backwards crossovers right now and he's only falling 2/3rds of the time. I think the new Gus is going to drive you wild

Self motivation is apart of what it takes to be a Sabres. Didn’t you know.

And idolizing Eichel and watching is clips is a good thing.

All good things until he has to play real games

Half related, but why does our PP never enter the conversation? It was #20 and next to last SH goals allowed. The net impact was very close.

So if it was Rossi or someone else that most of you professional scouts in here wanted, and he were motivated, he's an insta-star, then? (frank), might as well just deposit 500 goals in their accounts then.

I agree. I also think asking how much VO actually helped the PP is a very legit question. The goals were pretty, but the PP was better the previous year. Hall brings a lot more to the table. Don't think there's any question there.

Trust the Science.

Kneel to the South towards Washington every 8 hours and swear allegiance to the changing doctrine.
How dare you criticize.
The party of love and tolerance is watching and compiling lists to turn over to The Squad. You will be branded with a Scarlette T and whisked away in the dead of night never to ge heard from again.

I know hope and optimism is rampant, but the posts I shared are very fair regarding the outlook of the Sabres for the upcoming season.

The defense and goaltending are still issues, and while there is time, changes are badly needed if the Sabres want to be a real playoff team.

The defense, especially, needs more than one simple change.

- kingcong39


I think the defense could be fine, or even good with the growth of Dahlin & Jokiharju

But we really need above average goaltending in the place of Hutton’s below average play & wild inconsistency

LOL bashing Dems when it's the Cheetoh's administration all along in Washington that has botched our national health. Say what you want about New York but nationally it is Trump's pandemic because he has been President, not AOC or Joe Biden, as much as it pains you to admit it.

It's just one person on a cruise ship; don't wear a mask; it will be over when Spring comes; we've turned a corner; nothing to see here, move along. Let's hold indoor rallies and not mandate masks...it'll be great, just ask Herman Cain and 300 Secret Service agents and thousands of dead, and millions of healthcare workers (I am one) who see sick people and death every 12 hour shift, only to drive home and see restaurants, bars, gyms, and churches full of maskless people all getting each other sick.

We all hear talk about "MY freedoms, MY rights!!!". Not much gets said on Fox or by Rush and Hannity about our obligations to each other.

Science is making the vaccines that we are so happy about, not politicians, yet every time science learns something new and makes adjustments along the way in the previous 11 months, you want to blame the scientists and Democrats for flip-flopping. And pout that somehow Biden is going to get credit for the vaccines instead of the soon-to-be-departed Douchebag-In-Chief. Cry me a river, snowflakes.

God, you ever-Trumpers are franking dense.

I keep seeing this all over, but I'll give it a shot here. If you could travel back in time, what 3 words would you say to your 18 year old self ? You only get 3 words - mine would be :

Bet Against Buffalo

(or slight variation : Bet Against Sabres/Bills)
