They lie about everyone's height, and weight.

Spurgeon's 5'11 but they make him smaller in the pre-game report.... opposite for Bryson

I mean I pushed the idea prior to Cozens signing, so I buy it on an internal level.. I just don't think they'd purposefully hamstring themselves for the right fit if the cost was more physical dollars owed. I see both sides of it, but to me it's bad business if they say well, he's perfect, just needs more cash than Tage, so no. How many examples are there in the league where you're paying a less prominent player more money than your lynchpins?

Don't have to look far: There's one example right on the Sabres roster.

Damm, Bennett practiced the other day, and Momo said he was back. But then he did not practice yesterday’s and I had a bad feeling he wasn’t gonna go tonight. Think Barkov maybe has a broken hand. And they sent Denisenko back down expecting these two to play. I imagine he’s back up for tonight now.
Top 2 centers out, gonna be tough.

Buffalo has a +12 goal differential


Bryson is a -21

To put it into perspective Clague is -2 and Boosh is -1.

Schenn is +9 on an awful team.

- sabresfan69


NHL media said schenn can go for a 3rd round pick. I forgot who tweeted that

Boosh ….., honestly has been good since early to mid January.

Clauge and Bryson are the same player essentially.

If we had Ullmark we would be in the playoffs right now without a battle.

But Adams was right to not give him 6m and offer 5m. We needed to save 1 million dollars.

Ullmark is on an extremely loaded roster

Check tukka rasks stats. He had similar production

It’s the system and team

.915 and .917 save percentages seem like decent numbers on this team

Looks like a very nice crowd for kids Sunday in the uglies against the Caps. A depleted Florida. A depleted Washington. Gotta get 4 points.

1pm Sunday. Make your dip, smoke your meats, and have a backyard tialgate.

Now we are begging for those #'s and can't get em'.

A little bit of Karma for this fan base IMO.

I’m saying Ullmarks overall production is currently inflated due to the bruins good team in front of him.

People think he’s the best ever goalie that left buffalo

People thought he was garbage when he was here. Now the same ppl beg for a .910 goalie.

I didn't see anyone say that. It would be Hasek obviously.

You tell those people to shut up.

Nobody said that.
They said he’s a good goalie and Buffalo better have a plan if they move in from him.
