"How to lose friends and alienate people" by Jason Botterill

Play people out of position, make players healthy scratches all the time, and dont address long-standing team issues

The first two are Ralph's decisions

Personally, I like the continuous attempts to fire the puck off the glass in hopes of a bank shot goal. I mean why else would a nhl player continue to not attempt to hit the net with a shot. Gotta be some crazy pool shark angles playing in his head.

Don’t forget the pirouettes with the puck, all alone in front of the goalie. The goalie never would have guessed he’d just skate it into the corner without attempting a shot. He’s a real trickster.

I've started setting the dvr.

That's where this team has driven me to.

Botts would tell you you’re being far too impatient. What’s a few more years of finishing out of the playoffs?

Ryan Wilson is speculating a Scandella - Galchenyuk swap.

Not that he's heard anything but to keep an eye on it.

There's a reason the Sabres are treating sam this way.

I'm hoping it's to up his trade value.
Makes zero sense to inflate his stats with jack in another contract year

Play him at center. How much worse can it be?

- Boss34

True, it wouldnt make any sense that they are playing players together to try and win.

I'm not sure how the NHL works (actually I am). Two of those three things belong to the coach... But the third.. man that third.

Krueger isnt playing people out of position for funsies. He's doing it because JB gave him 8 defensemen and 2 centers. Same with the scratches

The Bruins have been playing some mediocre hockey lately.

I’m still going to root for wins and try not to be a pit of despair

We’re a point out of 3rd and a loss to the Sens where we out shot them by 15 is the nail in the coffin?

The Bruins scored 7 goals on 17 shots Monday.

Maybe they get some unfavorable luck tonight

I feel the league will see what they did to us and just do it some more. Bruins always play us tough.

What did they do? Get a superhuman blocker save from Anderson on Rodrigues?

We were the better team.

I hate the overload of D men. I hate that we lack a 2C and winger to boot.

I also can think of maybe 5 teams with a complete roster with no glaring weakness

Ran Eichel with Brady every single shift, when you take a teams only player away your odds of winning go way up

Honestly some Sabre fans are just garbage

I log onto to Sabres twitter and it’s just incessant complaining about Samuelsson the last two days. People seemingly rooting against him to succeed as a prospect because they hate the GM.

4-3 Sabres tonight

Skinner with 2
Eichel
Sam

Go (frank) yourselves

Most people cant wait for growth on a player.
I feel like im stuck with my college and my Buffalo teams
Buffalo all you hear is how garbage every player is and no matter what you said they do well you are wrong
with my college its the opposite every player is so great and how dare you say something "negative"

There has been some good, and some bad with Samuelsson.

He was thought of enough to make the team and wear the “C”.

Perhaps his value is high and we can move him for a forward prospect of similar elk.

Zegras with 4 assists in 5 minutes of ice time at one point.

Is the U.S coach smoking crack ?

Just put Zegras-Turcotte-Caufield together and be done with it.

Like Jesus you guys have a roster that should most likely be playing for gold this year but your coach is clueless.
