So let's keep it going.

Or we can try and make Gerbe feel dumb even though the Sabres are still in 25th place

- sbroads24


Gerbe does that all on his own by not being able to see the points that people are clearly spelling out for him.

I also said several times today a win tomorrow and they might just be on to something here. But hey keep being negative it's what you're good at.

It's just a lot of hearsay but some are saying Bucky Brooks said Doug Whaley is not happy on the radio

I have no clue if it's true

I just don't get why people can't just enjoy when they win a game. Those of us that show optimism aren't planning any Stanley Cup parades. We're just enjoying when we get a W.

How Whaley still has power is beyond me.
- SABRES 89

He should be thrilled that he has a jerb. Not one team will hire him after his tenure is done here. Well, any important jerb anyways. He's Smelly McStinkerson as far as his gravitas goes.

I have a really hard time buying into the whole "showcasing thing". I believe a team like Toronto signed a bunch of castoffs last season to help showcase them, as a team. Play well and you stay, if not, hopefully another team likes what you bring to the table.

But playing on a team actually trying to win, I don't believe in showcasing. As an organization, you put guys where they will succeed and remove them from places where they aren't cough rex cough so no I don't believe Foligno is there to show his junk off to other teams. He's there for the same reason Carrier is on O'Reilly's line. To create space and work the walls. Foligno has really turned a corner his past 60-80 games. He's becoming very nice player with limited offensive upside. Look at Chris Kunitz. Same deal. Connor Sheary nowadays.

- TheSabresTaco


I am not saying I would showcase him, but who would have thought with the players we have he would be on the top line? Again, I am not sure if I want him here or not, but I do think Murray wants him (I remember last year or two saying he was an untouchable, tradewise).

You didn't need to change it for me, you needed to change it for yourself. You brought it up.

You obviously felt uncomfortable with it so I changed it

Against a good team like Chicago? No, they were dominated, against Winnipeg, they played 1 and half good periods.

Last night they were good.


Let's see it in the standings. If they can do that, im all for it.

- sbroads24


Is it at all possible for you to look at anything this team does positively? I get they aren't where you want them to be, but they played a great game last night and won 4-1 be happy about that....

I'm am not uncomfortable talking about Trump and how I voted for him however this is not the place to talk about it no matter if you voted for him or not. We don't need anymore problems on this site.

He had to waive him to send him to ROC. Should he have just kept him here? Paying him to be Grant? Good Riddance. We can find a hundred Grants to put in ROC. Big picture it buddy.

Are you criticizing him for that move? What was he supposed to do?

You didn't want to see him on the NHL roster but you didn't want him waived?

I'm so confused....

I'm not being negative. They are playing well. Reinhart is playing well. Kane is playing well. The goalies are playing well.

I'm also not going to let a 4 game stretch change my total outlook. We did this earlier this year. If they can be consistent, I'll start thinking playoffs are realistic.

There are things to really like about this team right now.

Grant was on a 1 year deal and can we remind ourselves he had ZERO goals for us? I wish him the best, but I think we can find better 4th liners.

See, this is the thing that drives people nuts.

One of two or three things people on this board can agree was that Grant was not helping the Sabres, and that other players in our pipeline could do more. Murray waives Grant to wide celebration, and then, when the process simply plays itself out, you blame Murray for a goof that is "actually a huge blow."

I just don't get it.
