How does 21 play on the PP over 9?

cause the puck has to go on net to score


edit: like that

Checked out. Botts should pull the trigger on his best offer in the next 3 Days.

nice shot


sens are going to creep into this lottery conversation

9 is really bad at it and plays Eichel's spot.
- Lunaion

Really? He had the most PP points of any player on the team as of a couple weeks ago.

im not saying im rooting against the sabres but this win isn't what i really needed

Wins and losses shouldn’t matter to fans. What’s important is that you have a bunch of choir boys playing for your teams. Don’t watch Sabres games for the hockey, watch for the next installment of Beyond Blue and Gold. This way you can be proud of the players on a team that sucks.

And I thought I was a cynical wiener...

pretty sure the question is, is risto a 1 or a 2/3
- homiedclown

I think the question is...

No matter where u label Risto,
how do we get the other 2 guys to add to our top3 defensemen?

Scandella is probably a 4
Guhle is too young to know where he will spot in
McCabe doesn’t look like he will become a top3 guy

So hopefully....
-trade Kane or Sam for a guy who can develop into a good defenseman?
-get lucky & draft Dahlin?
-sign Carlson?

leafs gm james tanner says franson is better

Seriously?
That’s just dumb

We had the #1 PP in the league last year with Kane on the 2nd unit

Okposo was on the top one

I’m guessing bc he moves the puck better, and doesn’t blast the puck high or wide like Kane often does

Good bounce back win from the Dallas disaster. Calgary is one of the best teams in the NHL right now so the Sabres deserve credit. A few guys stood out to me including Jack, ROR (does he ever lose draws?), Risto and Oko. Even Reinhart had a good game. Baptiste used his speed well - why can't we give him some linemates to play with?

As others have pointed out, Kane was missing in action.

I'll be at the game in Vancouver. That could be a real snooze fest.

This game again brings up how puzzling this team is

they have dominated a few of games this season and showed up big against good opponents in a few more, but have flat out sucked most of the time

wonder why that is

Right. It's 8 points though, and 9 is his career high. 2nd PP works with less time and doesn't move the puck as much, he works better there. On the first PP, out of position because of Jack, I've always thought he looks completely out of place.

It’s been terrible up until the last week. Okposo misses the net his fair share too, but is playing better as of late.

Lack of talent & injuries on defense

Lack of consistency in net

Lack of scoring depth


We have good players in spots
Just need more to have a good TEAM on a nightly basis

Kane won’t even hit 60 points or 30 goals.

Trade him now.

Just trying to show that the PP has been very successful in the past with 21 on it instead of 9

The struggles this year are beyond me
Obviously this group has the talent to be MUCH MUCH better on the PP

Kane won’t even hit 60 points or 30 goals.

Trade him now.

Are u worried his trade value will drop?

He really needs to be put back with eichel
