I love how Sabre "fans" are hating on me because I think we could be could enough to grab the 7th or 8th seed in the east

Not sure who was hating on you.

I just dont subscribe to the Sabres being a playoff team in 2019, although I do see them being much improved...18-22 points better, not the 36 or so it will take to qualify for the playoffs.

To achieve the last playoff spot in the east, they will need to
- increase their GF to about 240-245, from 198 (~20%)
- decrease their GA to about 240 from 278 (~13%)
Bergy and Sovotka coul cover the points lost by ROR's departure, and Sheary could cover Kanes contributions....that merely g3t you back to even. The rest of the roster needs to find thoee extra 40 - 45 goals...While playing better defensively to shut down about 40 more goals

That is a very tall task to accomplish in 1 year.

Awful

How’s your golf game these days?
Just posted my second course record yesterday. Private club in Minneapolis, 9 birdies, 1 bogey, 64. Didn’t even make a putt outside 8 feet. Made a weeks pay in the process, dude just kept pressing. It was a good day. Think I’ll go fishing this week.
Hit em straight!

Nice

"Struggle and floated" to 4th place behind Jack, Sam and ROR, right exactly where he should be.

This isn't for you, I'm just lazy:

If you want to call it a "stealth tank", fine, if "stealth tank" means the newly minted GM was going to take the year to see what he had before making any big moves. That is pretty damn close to diametrically opposed to what Murray did to try and land Jesus.

Lazy is ok .. I’m glad we’re cool



Love you wetbandit

Some see the real picture still a lottery team this year draft a winger

Wildcard in 2019

Best team in 2020

sucks
no time

fish business never slowed down this summer so I played once since I got back from NY 2 weeks ago


plus I just bought a house with 4 acres of land and a 1700 square foot basement for the fish expansion

plan on moving all the tanks in early november after shipping season



to sum it up, my golf game is pretty much on hold until Late Jan.

Black Cherry all the way.

they were bad last season

7 teams had fewer points

hawks, sabres will be better then them this season as I feel the roster got worse

Some see the real picture

pretty much sums it up....the real hockey starts in 2019

it's the reason JB grabbed 1st rounders instead of immediate help

Lundqvist Was dealing with injuries all year with a healthy king they could surprise

Being a realist is a curse

Haven’t been wrong on the “Sabres” record yet

2019 will playoff race fun

I've always liked McCabe, but it feels like Pilut and Borgen are younger, cheaper replacements soon.
- Lunaion

I’m a big McCabe fan
He’s had some setbacks though
Hopefully he can continue to delevop into a solid defensive defenseman for us

I see Borgen in that respect too

Pilut is more of a puck mover with some offensive talent

I’m very happy with how our defense looks moving forward

Need 3-4 more forwards capable of scoring 20 goals (or more, hopefully)

- homiedclown

That’s gonna be hard to do imo
They still have enough to possibly take a run at the postseason
Depends how good Lundqvist is

You were absolutely constructing a narrative. Now you're going back to building a strawman.

Frankly, this isn't about RoR. I think he is good. I've never said otherwise. For the majority of the season, the second line was bad, despite having good players. Line composition, coaching, injuries, poor play....something was wrong. My point has been that blaming the defense or goaltending to defend them, or saying they didn't have enough around them, is a cop out. I stand by that.

Explain Eric Staal on Carolina the last couple years vs Eric Staal on Minny

Did he suddenly become a better player?
Or did his numbers increase bc he was on a better team with better players up & down the lineup?

pretty big red herring

Sam, RoR, and Kane are all rated very close in my book. Kane's the only one who has shown that he can produce on his own.
