Troll job.
Exactly NOT what people are wishing for, well except one.

I’ve seen a bunch of people willing to dump Olofsson & Mitts for basically nothing

And I’ve seen a bunch who wanna bring in 4th line bangers that aren’t good at hockey

That might not be what you want,
but i can assure you there are people who do want exactly that

I really never understood the Bills panick. Playing as injured as any team in the NFL and won 3 road games in a row.

Reaves is exactly what I’m talking about
Yes, he’s a tough guy
But he’s not good at hockey

Getting Foligno back would make a lot more sense- he can actually play (somewhat)
But i doubt Minny would move him

KC has a pretty easy schedule left
We might have to win out to keep that #1 seed

Cap friendly is littered with trades for 4th liners who are “tough”
Feel free to take a look

Buffalo collected so many W's over the past few days I've lost count.

I think I can speak to everyone here at least that we all want players who are both talented and difficult to play against. Fortunately if we're formatting our bottom 6 it shouldn't take a ton of effort.

Really couldn't have asked for more. Next 2 Bills games at home, they could really drive that stake in the AFC East.

I want them to suck for another decade, I can only speak for myself. But it's been fabulous 👌

Krebs is neither tough nor good at hockey. How many runs at Sabres did SJS make after Dahlin blew that fella up? Some thug ran Krebs three times the next shift! Do you need him to get smashed against the boards and break bones?

Yeah, i'd like a Foligno too. Who wouldn't? I can't find one of them tomorrow. I can protect my multiple star players tomorrow.

Edit: And, FWIW, Z or Okposo needs to make a point of not allowing Krebs to be bullied like that on their line, but they're not exactly putting fear into anybody in the NHL.

That's funny because it reflects the true feeling of at least two regular posters.

I need names. Who is saying that.

If you’re going to call them out I NEED NAMES.

There is a pretty good chance that the Chiefs win out, but I'm holding out hope that division games often provide weird results, and they end up dropping a game they shouldn't. Hopefully, the Bills already did that with the Jets game.

I’m usually not a huge +/- guy as a telling trait but it is very telling top to bottom on the Sabres roster

“But we NEED to trade a guy on pace for 40ish goals to bring in a guy that’ll play 10min a night & get 3 hits bc i remember how Philly played in the 70s….”
🤣🤣🤣

- jdfitz77

donnie said in the post game interview that they do not need to look to make hits, but when it is there and lined up, finish it


so even the coach thinks some hits are needed

Mitts was effectively benched last night in the 3rd wasn't he?
- lacaprup

nope, after quinn goal in the 3rd, he put casey and olofsson out there



less than 30 seconds later, sharks score


casey and olofsson are shown in replay just standing still

the simple fact is that if you're putting hits up in the box score, you're showing the aggressiveness necessary to win the game, in a general sense.

No one should be hit hunting. But finishing your checks and an open ice hit or two per game should be expected.

how many shifts did they get in the third prior to Tuch's goal?
