Thank you for posting that



Taco: please get your boom box out and play this on your dog walks past KA's house

Bro I've got my Big Blue Party (Brookstone) going right now floating in the pool by myself talking with you idiots with some Other Half in the cooler. Kids, wife sleeping rn. Life is fine at the moment.

However tonight, I will be walking past KAs house with a sign that reads Why The (frank) Is Eichel Still Here

It's the worst kept secret, and if Adams doesn't get the value he wants, he'll Drouin him until he does. I have a lot of confidence that he won't let this trade get bungled. He can't and he knows he can't. If he grew any balls from living in Beane's office, he'll let him rot here until he gets what he wants.

Very, very curious to see this goalie in action next season. They appear to be very high on him. They don't give a (frank) about draft pedigree either. I don't want to hear "well he was a former first rounder" as some kind of justification that means he needs to be good, Zach Bogosian.

I like his story a lot. And as a sub-enroth-sized former goalie, I will always root for the undersized guy.

Go get em, Devon

Interesting take.

In year 2 (14 months from now), possible players who could join the big club
- Quinn
- Power
- Peterka
- Samuelsson
- Bryson
- UPL

In addition to Wright/Savoie/Lambert if they are lucky enough to get a top 3 pick

That likely wont result in an automatic Playoff position...but it goes a long, long way towards building a fun atmosphere and confidence the future is coming fast.

Going into 2015, before we got eichel, people were saying the same thing with a different list of prospects, and adding mcdavid/eichel.

This team needs to stop trying to lose. It kills the players in the system.

We're heading to Cole's Creek park up near Messina in a couple weeks to do some trailer camping. Super excited.

The Rangers are dangerously close into turning into the Sabres and their late runs to 9th in the division.
- Stripes77


The rangers had a better record than the habs. They will be fine. Players always want to go there. Them not wanting to move certain players is just early negotiating. They already have a number one defenseman, number one goalie, and top 5 player in the league.

Not sure I agree. Prospects are prospects. Fact is, prior to 2017, our drafting was a (frank)ing trainwreck. We didn't ruin guys. We bombed. Absolutely bombed. I don't see any guys the Sabres gave up too early on that we say wow, never should have traded him so young.

Not signing Brenden Hagel was dumb.

I would agree if he signed an extension, but since he is a rental I would give it a B.

A few inches taller and he would’ve been drafted much earlier. First round talent in a “too short” frame. I’m pretty sure it was Luongo who was telling Zito to pick this kid Levi.

The whole "you don't like it you can leave" rebuttal is so god damn played out at this point.

Yeah, (frank) me for wanting things to be better.
