What’s your confidence level at, that they will go on a run?

Pretty high until the Quinn injury.

Sounds ludicrous that one player holds that much weight, but there is a reason why Peterka and Cozens have played their best stretch of hockey this season in the past month.

Benson moving back up into the top 6 is good, but he should have never been removed for Okposo in the first place.

I think they suck, specifically as a collective…regardless what line combination.

Thanks for asking.

All I valued this season was E Johnson’s and Skinners 1,000 game parties….I will be inspired by Kevyn Adams and believe we will get through this together and be stronger for it.

2056 is our year according to my build through the draft plan.

I do think their inability to get to OT is a good topic, but the answer is a lot deeper than their PP is bad.

Their power play is so woeful that it is a huge problem.

There are other issues too, but that is a big one.

They've played at an 82 point pace in Dec + January.

PP was 18.2% in January, PK was 87.9%. A net positive.

Hand picking one date to make their record look as good as possible and another to make their PP look as bad as possible just isn't honest.

How is the bold a net positive?

Just simple math. Score 18.2%, give up 12.1%.

Looks like league average is what those numbers are saying compared to other teams in the league.

Better than what they've been for most of the season, which has been bad, but hardly anything special.

I don't get the "Not Much To Sell" part! Sabres have a plethora of assets if they actually acted like a Hockey Organization.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen learned the hard way not to ‘loose’ a round of golf to JJ Peterka 😂

No it was their play from October to December 19th that did that.

Not the fact that they have played at a 97 point pace from mid December till now.

- Swedish_Jesus


Gee wiz, 97 pt pace...yeehaa.
They have to 0.ay at 115 point place to draw in.

Winning matters, it is all that matters.
Too bad the Sabres Org doesn't get it.
Very soft mentally and physically.

So a Question ?
We saw what Lindholm got
Monahan looks like a hot commodity and could get Montreal a 1st and decent prospect.
Mittelstadt is outplaying Both, and is not a True rental. Can you not take Trade calls on him. It would be nice to keep him, but you could get a decent haul for him to it's looking like.
