If they'd get the puck out of the zone instead of playing with the damn thing the goals don't go in.

Healthy Tage, Quinn and Greenway back, and Frank it let’s ball hockey and we are back to generating offence at a top 10 level in the league.

Imagine that

so piss away the season because you are in a deep hole due to the gm not having a plan B for Quinn?

The patriots hired Jared Mayo as head coach

My question is: why?

I get Mayo was drafted and played for the Patriots. Then also coached under him.

I feel like trying to keep the Bill methodology makes sense. But I also feel like they are trying to keep something secret.

Idk just a weird feeling

Idk if it’s as much as having a plan B for Quinn as it was the coach not going back to what worked 20 games earlier.

I didn’t realize Granato was Italian for Kreuger

we have played 1 to 3 m ore games than any team above us in the standings except the bolts


sabres 7 points out of 8th having to leap over 6 teams


last 10 games
sabres 5-4-1


leafs 5-3-2
canes 7-1-2
islanders 4-4-2
flyers 3-4-3
bolts 6-4
devils 5-3-2
pens 6-2-2
wings 5-4-1
caps 3-5-2
habs 3-5-2


so gaining a tad a the flyers, caps and habs and those 3 teams are probably going to miss out as well

leaving the islanders, bolts, devils, pens and wings fighting for the last 2 spots

kulich, rosen or savoie on the middle 6 would have been better than what they did

I mean even if they put casey in the top 6 with cozens and parked krebs on the 3rd line it would have yielded better results

Some numbers on Jordan Greenway & the PK after last night's 4/4 performance.

Greenway has played 92:01 shorthanded this season, 20th among NHL forwards, and been on for 8 goals against.

That averages out to 5.22 GA/60, the 2nd-best mark among those 20 forwards. #LetsGoBuffalo

5-4-1 is 90 point pace. Does that help or hurt?

Idk if Philly can continue on its pace, I think they fall out.

Devils/Isles/Pens fighting for 3rd Metro spot and a wild card spot.

Can the Sabres pass the two of those three teams ? That’s the question.

Detroit has been free falling, can Philly sustain the miracle first half they have been on ?

Can never count out Tampa but I haven’t seen anything special. Jeez they squeaked by a Devils team in OT last night without Hughes or Meier.

But those AHL'ers and Savoie... woof. Not ready.

Is that the Timo Meier who has 9 goals and 6 assists in 28 games this season?

Their Plan B for Quinn was Patrick Kane.

Total failure.

I think they'd of still tried to get Kane had Quinn not been injured.

Kane was plan A from the beginning of the off-season.
