How about a blog about the worst run sports franchises of all time. Which teams make that list and where does the current iteration of the Sabres fit on it? Top 5 I bet. Easily.
- SoCalPucks

All time idk, but current top 5 imo is Pittsburgh Pirates, Buffalo Sabres, Detroit Lions, NY jets, Charlotte Hornets. Just North American sports of course.

In the same tier, absolutely.
Just look at his stats...playing on a poopty team, not on a SC Champion.

But go on.

- IonSabres


I did look up Gibson's stats, both the straight forward and advanced ones, a little earlier this morning.

They don't paint a pretty picture for him the past 2 seasons, and he isn't in the same stratosphere as Vasilevskiy.

Yes, the quality of the team in front of each matters, but what's interesting is both Gibson and Vasilevskiy face virtually the same number of shots on average, but Vasilevskiy faces more high danger chances.

For the past 2 seasons, Gibson has been a reputation goaltender while Vasilevskiy has been the best goaltender in the sport.

No wonder that Ducks poster is trying to offload Gibson while making it sound like a great deal for the Sabres.

Ionlightning has posted that Gibson is equal to vaslevsky.

Not in fantasy or reality......

No deal

- Boss34


Boss, sir, you are 100% correct on the above.

I looked up the goaltending statistics for the past 2 seasons on Natural Stat Trick this morning.

Gibson has been a mediocre to poor goaltender the past 2 seasons while Vasilevskiy has been the best goaltender in hockey.

It's all just hard to imagine. They didn't conduct a GM search, and now we're counting on Adams to lead a rebuild. He's doing an extensive coaching search, to lead a tank season? It's completely backwards.

It wreaks of a team with no leadership and no vision or plan. Is that surprising? Not. One. Bit.

on top of that i can't see a scenario reinhart gets us that much unless its a really late 1st.
- SabresFaninIndiana


If Reinhart won't sign an extension with the new team, sure, but if he will, he's absolutely worth that kind of return.

Don't think Josh has gotten his vaccine shot or atleast both, he was wearing his mask last night at the game.
- Buff36


Possibly but that's an assumption.

My wife was vaccinated in February, and she continues to wear a mask in public everywhere we go.

Yes it is, just from what has been said, and then wearing it out onto the field. I still do too, I only do it cause I don't want to bring home anything to my Mother.

I don't get the love affair with this guy. He's been with more teams than Mike Sillinger. He's been with Florida, Tampa, Chicago, Atlanta, Montreal, Toronto and Carolina. Why so many?

What has Dudley done that warrants the love affair?

he helped build the first tampa cup team
he helped build the black hawk team depth they had for their first cup with kane and toews
he helped build the current cane team

he still lives 35 minutes from key bank

and kim and terry said they know as much as he knows about the game

He said he'd be surprised if anything happened in the next 2 weeks. You said he didn't think anything would happen by the draft. The draft is over a month away.

Just pointing out the difference.

he left chicago for a promotion


he left the leafs for promotion

the canes were too cheap to retain him, so a team he worked for in the past brought him back, the panthers
