It's his 4th year and he's played over 250 games and his defensive game just isn't there. His timid style of play is never going to win over this fanbase either. His value would be highest to any team looking for a quarterback for their 1st unit PP. Quote
Jauronimo Posted October 29 Posted October 29 We had two great chances to end it in OT. Kulich got stuffed on a breakaway and we had a 2 on 1 that ended with a bouncing puck or some kind of unforced giveaway. I thought Cbus was lucky to take it to OT based on their first and 3rd goals. They got some nice bounces. Sabres played hard but they need to win those games. Our OT woes continue. I continue to take it day to day with this team in terms of expectations. I can say they are more entertaining and less maddening to watch than they were last year. Seeing growth from Benson, Kulich, and Doan are all reasons for optimism. I want to see more of Ellis in net. 2 1 Quote

QCity Posted October 31 Posted October 31 That really was a game they had to win. Maybe it's time to change the thread title back. 1 Quote
QCity Posted Sunday at 04:33 AM Posted Sunday at 04:33 AM For those that don't follow hockey closely, Tom Wilson is one of the best fighters in the league and he's considered to be a fierce intimidator. He also happens to be the Caps' best player this year so far, leading them in points. In the past when we played against the Caps it was almost comical (and embarrassing) to watch our young kids shy away from him and essentially piss their pants. Not tonight. Not only did they not shy away from him, it appears they were actively headhunting him all game. Greenway took him on in a fight (a tie-up wrestling dance actually) and got him to take a fighting and misconduct penalty keeping him off the ice for 17 minutes. When he got back they took every opportunity to hit him. I have no idea if this means anything or if it will translate into wins, but I haven't seen a Sabres team with balls this big in a while. 3 2 Quote

Jauronimo Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago (edited) https://www.nhl.com/news/rasmus-dahlin-to-take-leave-from-buffalo-sabres-due-to-personal-matter Quote Rasmus Dahlin will take a leave of absence from the Buffalo Sabres and return to Sweden to take care of a personal matter. "I will say this, he said everything is OK," Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said Friday of the defenseman. "He's got full support by our team." Ruff said there's no timetable for Dahlin's return. I get it. Some things are more important than hockey. But I don't think this bodes well for the Sabres and I wonder if any part of this decision is based on the Sabres past futility. 3 hours ago, davefan66 said: What amazes me is how quick most NHL teams are to fire coaches and/or GM’s, and at times with better records than what we currently have. Yet…how long do we have to suffer? Does firing Ruff put 3 of our top 6 forwards back in the lineup? Norris, Benson, Kulich, and Zucker were all out. Peyton Krebs was playing top line minutes. I don't think any NHL team is going to succeed with that many holes in the lineup. Edited 2 hours ago by Jauronimo Quote

We need a GM and coach combo like we have at the Bills. Change the losing “culture”. Quote
