Right, and a better record with Asplund than Granato.

This is good 🙂

Ok fritz . Worry about your own conversation.

Boss do you have a Girgensons Bobblehead Encased in Glass on one side of the dresser and a Voodoo Doll with a little Asplund Jersey on the other side. Blow a kiss to Girgensons Bobblehead and stick a needle in the Asplund doll. And then use the clapper to turn on the automatic air compresser for your Girgensons Blow Up Doll before you brush your teeth for bed.

I'm glad you mentioned this. I meant to ask earlier, if the rotation schedule is still working the same, Vinny draws back into the lineup tomorrow night. Do we think Vinny draws back in, and if so who comes out?

I say, yes, and Quinn. Not sure at all about it though.
- lacaprup

I know what Meatballs said but I'll believe Quinn gets taken out again when I see it. PP1 was finally looking good with him on it.

aside from the nucks, we also have yet to play the bottom feeders


blues, blue jackets, sharks, ducks, preds, yotes

u played the hawks.

Gotta say it was pretty coincidental, me saying asplund should be benched and then donnie benching him.

Asplund looked decent the past 2 games.
Maybe he needed a boot in the butt?

Good coaches get the best out of players.

Pretty sure quinn will not be in the healthy scratch convo right now.

Should just keep Vinny out atm.

I don't think he played poorly earlier in the year. After all, he is a plus 7 in 8 games. I think people went out looking for narratives when they lost a couple of games and he became a target.

I think I went to the games and watched asplund look tiny and struggle. He looked like a borderline ahl player .

I think I said, donnie should sit him.
Then he sat him 2 games.

He and the Sabres looked good and now he shouldnt sit the next game.

Cant speak for whatever other narratives or targets around here.

u played the hawks.
- Gramps28

Yeah, but they have Stalock who is basically Hasek.

It was a bad hockey decision. Just have to hope they learned from it.

Buffalo Sabres +3,400 to win the Atlantic divison. $5 for $170. Just sayin'.
- lacaprup

Pretty unlikely
But at those odds, why not put down $100?

double or nothing girgens gets 20 points this year, never got an answer

it's a brown stained butt plug on his dresser



I kid

Should have bet him how many times he falls in a year. Gotta be triple digits

I disagree, the Sabres shouldnt just rely on the new guys for leadership. That's silly.

Veterans lead , why pile more responsiblity on these kids.

Look at the eichel situation, your trying to make the same mistake again.

Same for ethan bear, maybe he wasnt our type of "vibes" guy. You were bent for no reason. Maybe he isnt a leader?
- Boss34

Leaders lead
Age doesn’t necessarily matter

Oh my

the Days of this team needing vet leadership is OVER, we don't need "Dad's" on this team. After this year both Okie and Girgs can drive off into the sunset.
- hehateme

Agreed
That’s what coaches are for

Okposo & Girgs have played well in a defensive role for us
Okposo has shown to be a good leader

But they’re both replaceable players & don’t “need” to be here much longer

Someone took his Anti-depressants

This team looks up to zemgus, he earned that.
They respect him and he helps the young guys.

- Boss34

EXACTLY what evidence do you have of ANY of this?

Pilut has lost his waiver exemption now. Also on the ice for all 3 5v5 goals for last night with Power. Seems he's overtaken Fitz and may be in a fight with Bryson to stay in the lineup, if they are all healthy down the road. Interesting one to keep an eye on.

if I had to bring 1 back next year, it's okposo on a 1 year 2.5 mil contract


I am a little surprised they did not already extend one of the 2
