Michael Pachla: Can the Sabres get "geared up" for a non-conference game against the Flames

Kadri sucks.

I'd say as long as we get three goals by deflections off of skates or linesmen ........ I like our chances.

6-2 sabres

And bring me Richard Sherman

you think Sherman would take buffalo over the pats?

No, but it's a start (I read this as he would help lift Buffalo over the Pats for a win)

EDIT: After re-reading what you said, I think he would take a contract with Buffalo

Completely agree about Beaulieu. When he gets up in the play he looks dangerous. Drove to the net and took a big hit to do so against the Loafs. Also made a few nice plays just getting it over the line and pushing play on changes. Issue is it's not consistent and he's old enough where more is expected. I don't get it.

I remember in preseason, I was wondering how we got him for 3rd.

for enough money, yes, but I think the bills would be nuts to do it. He doesn't fit what McD wants here ... ZERO chance it happens.

what about the o'regan call up? not in line up tonight?

if we could have the leafs game for 75-82 games a year... he'd be okay.

the spin-o-rama turnover in the leafs zone was the latest example of one of his extreme brain-farts...happens nearly every game

if seahawks are blowing it up, see if they can pluck a lineman from them

no...in what seems to be typical sabres fashion as of late, he was called up and won't be on the ice

Yeah that was bad. Not only the turn over, but he continued forward instead of doing a stop and start...almost took out a back-checker in the process.

I remember a few good plays, but they're nixed by the irredeemable mistakes. I don't remember a Sabres defender with as much talent and yet so little positives when he plays...Dmitri Kalinin maybe??? IMO he has the physical attributes, skating and shot to be something.

Stop playing well damn it.....

Oh come on, haven't you had enough losing for one season?

Oh I have had enough franking losing in this city for a life time, but if it improves my chances of getting the #1 pick, TANK....What good does winning do now?

a little disappointing... should have left him down in that case...unless then plan is for him to debut in Ottawa.....

I’m kind of confused how does he not fit ?

Larsson at 2c, Pouliot at 4C, Pominville ahead of Okposo on the depth chart, and O'Regan scratched. And Housley is saying they're trying to win?

Excellent write up:

I feel that bowl u is sorta the equivalent of the tanking meszaros tanking move
Division guy, turns the puck over

Sabres :just finish this season by losing 9 or 10 of the 16 games left. Pick top 5 please

Then we can root whole heartedly for a decade or more for wins.

They should have called up Sean Malone to play center against the Leafs, He has been playing well in Rochester since returning from injury. I don't think Martin would have been able to injure him. Malone is a solid build type of player. It was nice to see Tough guy Martin's 2 biggest hits of the game were on Guhle and Crisculo.
