I'm not the guy longing for the days of johan Larsson.

The good ole days 😀

Watching Girgs take a non-ceremonial draw up 1 late, I know I'm not the only one thinking it.

Olofsson is really streaky.

Guy could be hit or miss in a playoff series.
His small size hurts him in the playoffs IMO.

He could score 7 or 0 in a series. I'd like to think he gets hot.....

- Boss34

I would hope. Interesting Olofsson scored 9 goals in the first 11gms and has scored 9 goals in the last 11. I really like this version not the one that disappeared between those 11 game streaks.

This isn't just a streaky thing. He looks like a different player. Imagine you heard Ray say he's playing the game the right way now.

He only scores a goal every 10 games. Quota now filled through the 26/27 season

What happened with the Bill's 3ER?

Seams like most of my die hard friends are taking the loss fairly well. I think it's the Damar injury....

Could be with the Bills too. Football means less....

Went through a lot this year, with everything that happened, all the injuries. They just looked drained against Cincinnati.

This is definitely something we should discuss after every new blog over the next few months. 🤔

You defend johan Larsson

I'll stick with krebs.

Who's better Pittsburgh or Washington.
Who the Sabres catching?

Maybe a reoccurring injury.
Probably just warriored thru it, as usual for the team.

Gonna be an "underdog " next year.

Probably a better mind set.

Completely agree, tragedy started with the tops shooting . These guys were involved in the community.

Drained is a good call

Very disappointed. I thought they were holding back to boat race teams in the playoffs. Not sure they didn’t recycle plays that actually work. Where was the Gabe Davis TD vs the Rams? Instead they couldn’t get enough of RPO plays that they sucked at. Allen is terrible at RPO. McD really (frank)ed up when he said the team can’t be so one dimensional. Offense didn’t look the same when they decided they needed to run for some reason. What’s wrong with blowing the doors off a team like they were doing? Looks like the team peaked in the 13 seconds game and are now descending. They suck. I’m pissed. They were going to get steamrolled by the Bungals if Hamlin didn’t get hurt. Nice of the Bills to lay down and let them take their lunch money. At home too. (frank)ers. Team isn’t tough at all.

In case anyone was wondering who the Bills opponents were next season. At least the away games look easy.

O line didnt give allen enough time to figure out the daboll to Dorsey play book change.

I agree with 36, they were drained.
Dawkins is a top player, he blew vs. Cinci and miami

Lack of concentration, how many dropped passes thru out the season. Do we overlook drops when evaluating wide receivers?

I was nervous about the bengals game.
They made our offense one dimensional by scoring points early. 14-0 it was over

i don’t buy this at all. Team had no trouble destroying teams at the beginning of the season. They chose to run more and Keenum stopped getting playing time.

Bills running backs vs Cincinnati
11 rushes 38 yards

This doesnt back your theory on running more.

22 rushes for 87 yards by rbs vs Miami

Have to keep Clague in the lineup.

Cozens definitely looked like he got concussed. If he cant go wonder what granato does with the lines….

- ZiggyBuff

'
Not pretending that they should but I would move Krebs up to Cozens' position and move Asplund into Krebs position on the fourth line. I would not bring Hinostroza up so the Sabres would have to expose him to waivers again but would bring up Murray who can be sent down without being exposed. There might be players in Rochester that you want up first but I wouldn't assuming that Cozens is out short term just for the player called up to sit on the pines. The Sabres might also think about bringing up Bjork. They are paying him anyway and then they could expose him to waivers in the hope someone will take him off their hands when Cozens come back. Pure supposition on my part.

This from the replies to the tweet above gave me a good chuckle this morning.

It has them at a 2.5% chance to win the cup. Vegas is at 2.4%

It's almost like those numbers are totally arbitrary and change after every game. One glance at the standings would give you a much better read on how close the Sabres are to the playoffs.


Wait.... let me make a wild guess. If we win Saturday night our odds of making the playoffs will go up slightly?????

Maybe, just maybe

Had a little giggle there to, damn at the beginning of the week I believe we were at 5.8% to make the playoffs.

Looks like the author looked for what he thought is one of the Sabres top 2 prospects.

I'd be near shocked if Adams agreed to Kulich.

I think he'd rather offer a 2024 1st to try and lessen the quality of the prospect.

>>> Would an offer of Jiri Kulich and the Philadelphia Flyers’ 2023 second-round pick (acquired by Buffalo in the Rasmus Ristolainen trade) and a 2024 third-round pick move the needle for the San Jose Sharks?

That sounds like a low return for Meier at first, but consider that Kulich, the 28th-overall pick of the 2022 Draft, has seen his stock rise exponentially this season. The skilled forward scored seven goals in seven games for Czechia in the WJC while earning a silver medal, and it’s conceivable in a 2022 re-draft, he’d go in the top-10.

Kulich is ranked 47th in The Athletic’s recent ranking of the best players and prospects, 23 and younger.

The Sabres own three second-round picks in this upcoming draft, so I went with what I expect to be the highest pick in that round.

Probably know as the season gets into February. I mean we had been at about 6% to make it for awhile

Especially after he tried to give the puck away to Winnipeg twice in his own zone the prior shift while nearly falling down.
