Lol, incredible. Just incredible.

Edit: when did the league pass the new rule about it being an either or choice?

I do agree however, that having that threat in a line 4 player is the easiest to acquire, and on this team it would do zero to hurt the scoring threat...sh!t get 3 of them...what do they lose, a combined 5 points lol.

I’m guessing it could if Sobotka is long term. Don’t we get relief with if he’s long term injured reserve?

If Sobotka is long term, he could go on LTIR. Until Bogo returns, there's really no point. Unless one of them is out for the season, we're just talking temporary money. It let's us call guys up, but it's not doing much more than that. When your LTIR guys are healthy, you have to get under the cap.

Right but it buys them time if they make a move that puts them over, to make another one, correct?

It does. With Bogo on LTIR how much more room do you really need to make your moves? If you really need access to 8.5m, how are you ever getting back under the cap?

you mean the legal hit on drury, because drury had his head down?
- homiedclown


Can't believe i'm replying to this - but anyway, although technically not an illegal hit, Drury's head wasn't down - watch again. Nor was he "admiring his pass" as people like to say. Nobody admires a pass ... they pass the puck and most of the time watch to see if it connects to the recipients stick. The hit - in real time - was less then a second after it left Drury's stick - no time to "admire a pass". I agree that it was a legal hit where neither Neil's elbow or shoulder pad connected with the head. However, the force of the jolt cause Drury to spin to the ice, head first. Head to ice caused the bleeding.

Basically that's a lot of words to say my main point of "his head wasn't down".

IMO both.
I don't want the reincarnation of Andrew Peter's, let me be clear.

The biggest beef for me with yesterday's game was,
Zero payback on Kucherov - a nice clean hit to lay him out flat would be "notice" given, as well as the emotional bump it should have given the Sabres bench.
Delivered early, it could have set the tone.

And true to form, there was zero response to the Eichel hit except from our leading goal scorer.

Buff36 is absolutely right, team is a bunch of wussy's ... honestly, I don't want to hear the bullsh!t about Risto physicality. He wilted like a pretty flower.

Montour popped a guy in the face, took a penalty and the lightning scored. They need to play their game, not try to play someone else's

I'm saying the best revenge is to score goals and win. If you start chasing guys around looking for payback that way, it's going to bite you in the ass where it counts - on the scoreboard

Let's do both.
I didn't mind the face wash either. At least he showed some pushback.

So far this game they suck. Knox needs to make that catch and allen has to make the 4th down throw.

Doesn't matter. You need a response, clean or dirty, that no one is going to take liberties.

Well so much for that. Allen locked on to that throw, I am old and could've made that play
