Well can you agree if the defense doesn't stop the Toronto Maple Leafs then will you be worried that's a true test right there if they can't stop those Maple suckers

If you can't beat a top-five lottery team then what does that make us

I guess we'll find out on Thursday

- GERBE!!!75PTS

Guess Boston, Florida, and Edmonton should all pack it up and trade away everything and start rebuilding then. It's an 82 game season, if they lose to Toronto it's not a big deal. Good teams have bad games, bad teams have good games, average teams have good games and bad games, and no one game decides where a team is.

The sky doesn't need to be on the verge of collapse. Wait until we're 20 games into the year and then we can start to see where the teams are.

My bad, been a tough month on a personal level. I'll try and do better.

And semi-apologies for the deletions.

We should forget about the divisional games altogether and who cares if we win or lose them it will mean nothing to us in the end

Technically, we are tied for a wild card spot right now. Shouldn't draw any conclusions about that other than it's surprising with how inconsistent we've been - but I'll take that pace into Thanksgiving when Eichel comes back without a doubt.
- nfph

If we're over .500 when Eichel comes back the team is in good shape. Now, once the year turns to 2017 we have a bit harder of a schedule. Back to backs, higher up teams, still have to do the Cali trip. Winning these games now is important to keep pace.

You don't get it Gerbe. In a small sample size, the Sabres W-L record is irrelevant (unless we are winning) However, the Sabres defensive numbers in a small sample size are concrete.

We have played really solid defense the last 3. Any word on Bogo

I don't know how he is today. Today is just a snapshot.

Over the course of the season, his health, like the team in the long run, will improve.


(Not RIP, but get better soon.)

Team keeps playing like this...could get exciting when Eichel returns...

On the other hand...will there be a place for Kane in the lineup? Or is Kane officially a cancer that stays in the press box?

Has to be all or nothing, right? Can't have the game be mildly important, it either has to be the season on the line or not caring at all, right?

The game is 2 points and 1 game out of 82. At game 10 in the season it is not the difference between 8th and 16th in the conference.

It would make Buffalo .500, unless it's an OT loss. Any more brain-busters?

An nfph sighting!!

And I agree. They need to be more consistent from game to game. Need more stretches like that last 3 games if they want to consider themselves a team capable of reaching the playoffs.

Your 2nd line has Girgensons on it. So yeah, I'd say he has a place available as soon as he's ready.

I see no indication of this . he was playing decent in camp and teammates seem to like him. So why the label ?

People have to stop thinking when eichel comes back everything's gonna be roses and rainbows I'm telling you right now he's not going to be able to play all the games they're going to take him out every other game the pain that he's going to be experiencing it is going to linger for a very long time

Hola, Goosie!

Two things:

1) You headed to the game Thurs? I'll keep an eye out if so.

2) Bunch of us should do a meet up for a game. Heck, I'll even drive to the Southtowns.

He'll be better than Derek Grant. If he's better than the player he's replacing the team improves.

Forgot why I left this place and it's because of this poop. I'm gone again.
