nucci Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Bills look to be able to sustain being a winning team but the Sabres are not even close. Watching NHL playoffs, Sabres have a long way to go 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching NHL playoffs, Sabres have a long way to go If Dahlin is as good as everyone says he is, they should absolutely be competing for a playoff spot. Reinhart was finally finding his game at the end of last season. Eichel will be a top 10 scorer in the league. Still need a goalie though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risto back to form would be very helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 The Sabres are in such disarray that every team who plays them EXPECT 2 points. We’re a long way away there and I think the Bills tumble back to 6-10ish. Simply not enough talent to compete. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid plays the last six games of the season and has 5 points. You also have Guhle that should be ready to go full time next year. Adding him and Dahlin could shore up the Blue line for years. This team is close, really close. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree on the Bills...I think the defense will be much better this year.....obviously QB play is key but McCoy, Clay, Benjamin....there is still some talent on offense and we should get better QB play than Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fortuitous T/Os by the Secondary masked that. Milano had a fine start to his career and hopefully will grow. But we didn’t address our woeful pass rush, IMO. The few stars we have left on offense will be negated by suspect at best OL play, I fear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent Murphy on the outside, Star and Horrible Harry clogging the middle and pushing the pocket back..all will have a positive effect I believe!

Kept down for so long... Hard not to be. Always on the leash, keeps people doubtful and cynical. But the Leagues know they don't have to build a fan base in BFLo. They then can give handouts to other teams that might lose them some $$$$$. It's how the world works now. They got us in the bank. BFLo really needs to get out of sports business and move on... Nothing but being strung along as League chumps. I am shocked the Sabres won lottery. Probably the ball that should have dropped was the Blackhawks... Somebody probably got fired for that eff up. 18.5% chance? You gotta be kidding... Carolina 3% and they move up big time...Habs... Other 2/3rds of plan worked. And you wonder why a pissed of blue collar base votes for the amoral of the world. Oh well... Count me into the Debbie Downer plugging away crowd.

I mean you want Buffalo out of the sports business all together than why waste everyones time here who do not share that thought. I don't care how pathetic Buffalo sports is or gets I am true blue till death The world is already negative enough... and yes I feel the pain, but if you have already given up all together don't be th eperson that has ot drag everyobody down with them please, and thank you Edited May 7, 2018 by ddaryl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
