Armia isn’t great

But acting like he wouldn’t be useful here while Scott Wilson plays in our top 9 is hilarious

- sbroads24



Yet, what is really hilarious is that since Scott Wilson has played in the top 6 the last three (3) games, guess what their record is?
Isn’t it funny that when you put in a guy who plays the right way, he contributes to the overall success of the team more that the primidonna guy who plays a perimeter, loose game?
Scott Wilson should not be critized or laughed at. What should be laughed at is who was displaced when he was successfully plugged into the top 6 role for the last 3 games.
On paper, this roster should be better than 30th-but-eying-31st...and teaching the primidonna’s that lesson is critical going forward.

You're right.

They should just lose out so you guys can all jack off to all the mock drafts until late June.

I've played hockey, baseball, soccer, basketball and lacrosse. And you're delusional if you don't think that winning a nice share of their remaining games gives them hope going into next year.

You're so hell bent on picking at the top, you fail to see what a great 2nd half can do for the confidence of these players going forward.

I'm done. You have your opinion, which is all it is, and I have mine, and we have differing philosophies on how you can build a winner. And that's fine. Enjoy your weekend.

This would be a great post IF the players learning to win were going to be here in another year.
I expect JBotts to turn over this roster in the next 18 months...those future players aren’t here yet and won’t benefit at all...hence why many are left in Rochester.

The rush to 6th last is just a feel good story for the casual observer.

How many players on this roster were on the roster of the Tank year team in which the Sabres were rewarded with the 2nd overall pick for McEichel...Go ahead, take your time I’ll wait...not many is the answer..so to say this roster learned to lose from that is just silly at best.

Talks heating up between the Kings and Sharks for Kane along with a couple others. Looks like Thornton is out even longer maybe ?

If Jagr clears regular waivers tomorrow at noon, he could conceivably be assigned by CGY to a European team to finish out the contract. Would not require going on unconditional waivers for termination. Either way, European bound unless claimed tomorrow.

He needs to hang up the skates already. He has to good of a history to tarnish it by not knowing when to say, "I don't have it anymore."

Yeah, talks have been going on for an awful long time. How much better of an offer is he going to get for a guy who has stopped scoring goals more than a month ago? Pull the trigger already before it backfires.

Nobody "changed" Incognito except himself. He knew he was under a microscope, and one slip-up meant his career was over.

On a similar note, did anybody else notice that racial slur incident in the Jacksonville game just went away? I am guessing it's because it never actually happened.

But we aren’t gonna have a “great 2nd half”

U act like these holes are gonna be magically fixed somehow

A run to 6th last isn’t gonna change the end of the year evaluations
It’s not gonna be nearly enough to “change the culture”

If we could make a run at the playoffs,
that’s one thing
Then I’d agree with you
But that’s just not gonna happen

Voynov will also be under a microscope so it could be a win-win situation

Yeah that was some bullpoop and that Jacksonville game I don't believe anything that guy said

People forget too we are pretty healthy.

One injury and with the lack of depth we could take another tumble.
