OK......so tell me again how Buffalo is going to beat out Arizona for last? I mean, Arizona is taking this tanking thing to a whole new level. Their goalie is actually jumping out of the way of shots now:

Buffalo will have to be 2-16 the rest of the way to pull this off. I see no way Arizona wins another game this season. I am pretty much resigned to the fact that Buffalo will be picking 3rd, AT BEST, at this point.

PS......Yes, I know the shot was tipped coming in, but it still looks absolutely ridiculous, especially from a team that has openly said they are tanking.

If anything i would trade Brown ..

i think him and lesean mccoy hate each other..

i think he said bryce brown is a bum after we got him

After the trade last year, McCoy said Brown was going to be the starter. Got in a small twitter battle with Freddy, IIRC. He had high praise for Brown

No team will lose 28 games in a row. They will win at least 2 -3 imo. Just like Buffalo and Edm have done this year, when you finally win one, a little less pressure is felt, and you tend to play good for a few games in a row.

Didn't we close out last year with a 2-19-2 record? I figure this team could repeat that and it would be enough as long as those two wins don't come against Arizona

Even if we split with the Yotes, we will get 30th with ease. As bad as the Yotes are, sabres are much worse.

I'll be worried until we officially finish last. We are no lock the west is way tougher than the east.

I'm more of a metal fan than anything, but you can't represent dubstep/electronic music with Skrillex. Much to learn indeed
Gotta get some Tristam in there. Does an overall mediocre genre justice IMO.

I actually like Whaley's aggressiveness.

I like that he knows that the window with this type of defense is not going to be open forever.

A game manager for this upcoming season is just fine with me.


A game manager that gets this young roster some playoff experience.

In 2016 the list of competent, experienced very good free agent QB's I believe is what Whaley and Ryan are looking forward to, seeing that Cassel will be a UFA come the end of next season.

Good aggressive "no stone unturned" move.

I still believe they bring in another free agent QB this season to up the competition ante.

Cassel
Manuel
Tuel
and ???

Honest question hat...not trying to stir poop up since we are agreeing today...you like whaleys agressiveness do you like murrays? Or is the disdain for him just from the nolan situation?

Almost every team has a 3rd down back. It's not like Freddy can't catch the ball on the check down.
- Pierceme69


Fred was money as my third RB this year in fantasy. Got so many points on check down receptions and yardage.

Always been curious about EDM festivals like those. I dislike a lot of the mainstream "dubstep" like Skrillex, but there are some absolute gems in there - Tristam among them, IMO. I've been to my fair share of Metal concert series and fests, but those seem like they can be quite a good time. Hope it's rocking there

Like I mentioned. it was right after the trade.

Who knows if he changed his mind later. Just like he will when it comes to reporting here, imo.

Fair question.

Some of my disdain for Murray certainly stems from and for the way I feel he tossed Teddy under the bus at I believe what was the Myers/Kane trade presser.

He took some blame for what was going on but not nearly enough.

In other words, I have a low tolerance threshold for people that push blame upon others, especially publicly because to me, that only makes them more the POS.

But hey, I am just one guy with just one opinion.

If Nolan wants to and is welcomed back next year with a better roster and is given an honest chance to coach an NHL team that is being run by a GM that is honestly trying to win, my disdain for Murray will certainly lessen.

Scotty Bowman would not have done much better this season with this roster.

I hope I answered your question.

I'm pretty sure that Murray has regularly put blame on himself... He said something along the lines of "we didn't expect to be in this situation given our acquisitions, and that's on me".
