Yeah if things go right the Sabres should be able to roll 4 lines of Speed and forecheck and scoring at you.

Just need to turnover about half the team over 2 years.

Just saw Xavier Rhodes now off the injured list.

Didn’t really like the way Bills played against Packers. Packers running at will on them. Bills couldn’t stop it. Hope that doesn’t turn into a problem for them. One thing there was to like is Von Miller taking out 3 lineman on the 4th down stop. Just a great unselfish play. Team player. 1/11th. Don’t blink.

Funny one of my favorite prospects hasn't even hit the system yet. Nadeau: a Shoulder Injury kept him out of prospects camp this year. I am looking forward to seeing him, he has improved his skating immensely.

Well you got Savoie, Kulich hopefully pushing maybe even by the end if this year. Couple others if they keep growing that could deserve a look next year. Decisions Decisions!!

They could do it next year if they wanted to, but you are right it will probably be 2

Schwarber’s walk up music is best in the game. Thuggish Ruggish Bone.

Pittsburgh just blew a 3 goal lead to lose it ot. They just went 0-4-1 in their last 5. I’m hoping they are exhausted after this last game with Boston bcz if not we might be in trouble.

This is D+4 for Cozens. How many of these kids are going develop faster than him?

Erik Karlsson another 3 points tonight and the game isn't over yet. If the Sharks kept some money I would take him in a heartbeat. Him, Dahlin and Power would be hard to beat. what a great mentor for both and the rest of the young D core we have.

Savoie isn't jumping from the Winnipeg Ice to the Sabres any time soon.

It's coming for us as well.

The Sabres have hired the Jerry Jones group to find a sponsor

It'll probably be Highmark BC/BS here as well. Maybe M&T

- Hank Balling


I hope they maintain a little dignity. I highly doubt they will, but I hope they do. It looks like Pit friggen shrank Sid's C and Geno's A so the highmark logo could have pride of position on the jersey.

If we get a big enough Go Fund Me together can we pay and order the Bruins to change their logo to a bear with a Sabre up its ass? We wouldn't want anyone's kids to go hungry in the league from a pay cut or something.

Good links, ty. The video on Dahlin is well done.
2nd among defensemen in primary, shot assists per game
Fox - 7.90
Dahlin - 7.22
Josi - 6.33
Lindholm - 5.78

He is #1 among defensemen in passes to the slot

4th in the NHL in puck possession
Hughes (VAN) - 3:29
Doughty & Josi - 2:49
Dahlin - 2:48
*Note Dahl's only one second below the 2 slot.

He is in a large tie at +9 for 2nd in the NHL (Shea Theodore +12). Dahl's rings in at +9 while playing 25:23 a night, good for 6th in the NHL (Quinn Hughes 27:03).

And, for whatever you consider it worth, Dahlin is as physical or more physical than any other player named in this post. He's also the youngest.

Your current Norris trophy favorite.

- Lunaion

Well he was a little different, some of these kids went through there development through the pandemic, it affects things. A lot of these younger kids that have been drafted lately are gonna be different in there development because of what happened the last few years.

Why, he could play at the end of this year, depending on how he finishes. Do you really think he's going back next year to Winnipeg.

Hines was a sneaky good pickup by Beane. Very good 3rd down back, can block and is a decent punt returner if need be.
