Don’t worry. Every Sabres player that was struggling is now an all star after 1 game

Well just want to see them keep growing. Tage and Skinner are waking up, Cozens JJ are forming a nice pair. Tuch and Asplund are glue guys and make there lines better. Quinn is starting to get it, and Comrie is turning into a nice signing.

All of the sword swallowers will be sure to remind us of this the next time we lose a game.

If there was a definitive way to know I could get out of the deal in a couple years it would be insanely fun to trade for erik karlsson and play him in this system

This. Meatballs may have struck gold again when he moved Okposo to the first line. I loved the look of the lines tonight.

I know this is greedy but the three Detroit goals were the result of really lazy plays by Fitz (who otherwise had a great night), Clague and Cozens.

Well seems to have woken all 3 up. See if Okposo can hang for awhile because it gives Donnie the chance to play everyone. I hope Quinn keeps taking steps, he has looked better the last couple games.

Hunt was benched for half of the 4th quarter

Maybe traded or keeping him from getting hurt?

I was thinking the same thing earlier today, have the Sharks keep half his money and we take him, he has a no trade or he can block, I don't remember which.

Even with big money retained I just don't trust his ability to stay healthy for the long run. I love him but that's a terrible contract. Two years is perfect.

Even Krebs looked good, and he has been bad l year. 13 shots for, none against tonight.

Can't see it right now, they might need to go get a Safety.

Gretzky’s 6 points happened in 89. Kings beat the Pens 8-4. Gretzky had a hat trick that night too. So did Kevin Stevens.

1. The site has not been working for days in Brave internet browser or Samsung mobile browser. I'm here in Chrome. Chrome!

2. WNY is filled with the cheapest fair weather fans there are. Hockey heaven my ass. Hockey bandwagon is more like it. Embarrassing number of people at the game. Who has more fans at the arena 12 November: us or Boston?

3. The platoon situation for the 12th forward position is bearing fruit thus far. Every guy to come off the pine has looked better after the rest. When Asplund finds the back of the net on a feed from Z train you're doing something right.

4. There should never be a mention of Vic coming out of the lineup unless he goes 5+ games without a goal. Guy's a gifted offensive player. I'm not sure when I've seen a backhand blueline-to-blueline, across-ice saucer pass go tape-to-tape before. I have now.

5. Okposo on the top line. What a revelation! Let's ride that horse as long as we can.

6. Dahlin is your Norris trophy post horse at the 10% point of the season.

Look at Dahlin’s reaction to Thompson’s hat-trick goal 😂

It was a Monday night against a mediocre team on a night where many of us have family duties. Bad attendance isnt a surprise.

They still could, just think the Bills will try and wait as long as they can to see about Poyer
