flip side

assuming season is lost, is it better just to let him focus on his skating for the fall?

- homiedclown


Yes, absolutely... Let him build that leg strength over the next 6 months and start a new in late Sept.

I understand what you are thinking, I just don't see Pegula doing a POHO. You will need a different owner for that IMO
- Buff36


Agreed.
He should, but he won't.

I agree, let him fully heal. Why bring him back and something else happen. Instead of just training he has to rehab Instead. Like you said let him build up his leg strength. Might help his skating.

That was the most uninspiring 4-1 win I've ever seen.

I just watched the Sabres trade deadline embedded video.

I think the retention comment was taken out of context. Adams is just saying it was for a pick with no salary retention. I don’t think the Sabres were being cheap or anything like that.

Dahlins comments about Byram were nice to hear.

I also don’t think trades are as hard to make as they seem. It’s basically just a real version of fantasy football and submitting paperwork

- Sabretooth9


Sabres have yet to retain on a trade. I do think they're cheap, outside the immediate roster. However, you look at most of these teams being a middleman, and the returns are late round picks.

All we've been saying this year is (frank) the picks. So, do we need more lottery tickets? I doubt it.

Best retainer pick was a conditional 5th round that goes to a 4 if EDM wins cup. So, I mean.. should we care?

If we saw 2nds and 3rds flying around, I'd say what the (frank). But at this point it's just a bunch of lottery tickets.

Getting a 4th for a corpse is thievery.

In 2023-24, the AHL will have 23 teams participating in the postseason.

The playoff field will include the top six finishers in the Atlantic Division, the top five finishers each in the North and Central Divisions, and the top seven teams in the Pacific Division.

Home-ice advantage in all series will be granted to the team with more points in the regular-season standings.

The first round will be best-of-three series. Division semifinals and division finals will be best-of-five series; conference finals and the Calder Cup Finals are in a best-of-seven format.


Rochester is currently in 3rd place in the North division with 62 gp, accumulating 71 points with 10 games to go. It looks like they will make it, anyone have any idea who they would play, how you think they will do?

Who is the best forward and defenseman on the roster?

Last night's win took them from 2.4% chance to 2.5%. Keep the hope alive.

Is it too much to ask them to just stop making excuses? How many times is Paul Hamilton going to regurgitate the garbage narrative that last year agent were calling adams saying they wanted to be a part of this team?

Where are they? Why did adams resign all his trash if he had options? Now all of a sudden we're back to players not waiving to come to Buffalo as a reason moves weren't made? Adams looking for pity is sad and embarassing. Might be worse that media just won't call him out on it

Here's an idea. Stop targeting players with no movement clauses. Personally I'd like to see them done away with or at the very least significantly minimized. It will never happen but the league is worse off because of them

- ieetbred


Paul Hamilton is honestly terrible. His post game questions are cringeworthy

The new nfl rule against hip tackles is an interesting one.

Last year we couldn’t figure out what a catch it.

This year will be: what is a tackle

My favorite thing about this article is that Adams is acting like a clingy gf and Girgensons is like "yeah we'll see where this goes."

https://buffalonews.com/s...ee-b353-afc614b88aab.html

“Zemgus is incredible, obviously. He has a deep love and passion for the Sabres and Sabres organization. He’s put in so much work over the years. Everything matters to him – everything. ... He entered the league young and he learned a lot, so you see a very experienced guy as a result.”

And then Girgensons:

“It’s very nice to hear that, and the conversations I had with Kevyn before the trade deadline, we’re both keeping the door open to the possibilities,”

I think Adams is creeping him out lmao

- Hank Balling



I think that at the least, Girgs sees what his options are in FA. Even he has to be tired of this.

Every time he speaks, he just shows everyone how bad he is at his job.

Earlier this year prior to the season, everyone was checking in on the Buffalo Sabres to see what was going on and now nobody wants to come here again”

So he had interest in this team all offseason and decided not to do anything and now everyone is like oh that’s right that team is a joke.

Because they haven’t had to?

The last one was Hall, who was after Covid, and was after Pegula “cheaped out” on the Adams hire.

This conspiracy theory doesn’t hold weight

Krebs has been pretty good so far as a 3rd line centre.
