Think we all know a few guys who are playing poorly but not 'eligible'.

Bit of a test for KA and Meatballs. Quinn and Krebs are 2 of his biggest acquisitions, but the best hockey move right now is probably to send them both down to Roch, even it's a bad look.

The men that were honored with letters will not be part of the "rotation".


I thought maybe i would help you by warning you for the past few weeks..... you didnt listen

This must be devastating 😥

They are making a bad hockey decision for bad reasons. Lost some faith in KA and Don today. Celebrate that if you want.

This is a terrible take.

Asplund got his assplund benched.

And pegsville asked if I watched the games. 😀

Hard to find a spot for a tiny defensive forward.

Maybe the game isnt for soft players? Nah....

- Boss34


Not sure which games you are watching. Asplund usually does the heavy lifting when it comes to the defense on his line. The guy is 5' 11" - in today's NHL that is average. The kid is a good player.

You've been completely wrong on KA from the beginning.

When you "lost some faith in KA", I'm gaining more faith.

I can't remember your take on donnie, but it was most likely wrong. I think he's a great coach and noticed that asplund needs a kick in the butt.
Donnie's having a hard time finding a spot in the lineup for asplund, plain and simple.
He tried him at 4C.
Tried him with olo.
Guy has only 16 more nhl goals than you.

If he blocked shots like our fearless alternate captain, he wouldn't be watching the game tonight ☝️

You should really be asking if the head coach has been "watching the games".

He made the decision, not me ☝️

I'm gonna side with donnie over buster on this one.
The part where he gets paid to be an nhl coach vs. You sitting on your couch, not getting paid to be an nhl coach. Hope you understand.

Just got out of the hospital again yesterday, infection related to the appendix.

I will be there tonight.

I feel like your wishing a 6-1 habs beatdown of buffalo to prove asplunds value. Please put the voodoo doll away.

Yes, and Donnie said that this was not a commentary on his play. So you can sit on your couch, not getting paid and pretend that this is something more than it is. The same coach likes Asplund a lot.

Glad you're feeling well enough to go.

I'd love to see Quinn and Krebs start contributing. Key players for the future of the team.

Thank you I appreciate it, been listed as questionable all week. Still a game time decision.

Quinn's non goal just shows what a true talent he is.
Only a handful of current Sabres make that play.

I'm worried more about smiling jeff and kyle.
Lots of money / future money tied up for 2 guys who look like they peaked.

Kyle looks slow. Jeff looks like he wants to make fancy plays and not take what's given.

Word is Buffalo had their rookie party after the Vancouver game. Look for a rebound.

I've heard Skinner is waiting for the home croud. Something about a dance party.

Jeffy ends the drought tonight. Bet it.

Don Granato said Rasmus Asplund will be out for the Sabres tonight. He emphasized that while all the forwards are healthy, there will be a rotation.

At WR? Like who? The self proclaimed 3rd best WR in the league isn't very good.

Plot twist, Toney hated the Giants and was "hurt" until he got traded.

6-1 second in NFC east. Toney sucks

It's fine to think this. It's also a fair to question who is markedly better than him that's available. Jeudy maybe, but he's also had his question marks. Claypool is for sure not. Outside of his 4 TD game, he's about as good as Juju SS or MVS. If there's a mastermind that can unlock Toney's God given ability, it's Reid.

If he struggled with Daboll he gunn struggle in KC. There is no treatment for ego... see Eichel.

I love how many bills fans on twitter say

“We don’t need a roof” on the new stadium and it’s “apart of living in buffalo”

I don’t buy that garbage response.

Last year, I went to the commanders game, very chilly

Dolphins game was cold icy rainy and miserable

Jets game was windy and freezing and fans didn’t show up

Patriots game at the time was horrible. I didn’t truly enjoy it till watching the highlights.

Colts game raining hard and cold


I guess my point is …. Fans don’t want to be freezing at games and players don’t either.

I still went to the games I mentioned. But it wasn’t fun. It was a grind trying to survive some of them.

We don’t need a roof
The elements make the game fun
Sure, sometimes it gets so bad that it sucks, but that’s not all that often

Building a 2 billion dollar stadium for 17 games a year is not very economical

The 6-2 Knights with Eichel 3G and 4A in those 8 games? It didn't work for them last year, think you'll see Eichel play them into the postseason this year. Too much talent.
