Any chance all hell breaks lose today after the Cernak elbow last game?

I saw on twitter that greenway fly out yesterday. Hopefully he can play today.

I know it’s a long shot with the ice / storm that just went by.

So I doubt it

Big Game today. Why is it a Big Game? Because it’s the next game.

Tampon Bay playing Carolina tomorrow. Maybe Sabres get the back up treatment. Black and red jersey game. We thinking 7 goals today or just 6?

Good thing I’m here. Someone’s gotta provide valuable insight around here. You’re welcome.

Nope. Nothing. Sabres need to win the game and not worry about that.

Putting Tampa on a pp when your team lets in over 3 goals a game isn’t smart hockey

You’re out by Disney?

There’s a Bills backers bar that should play the game. People in Orlando aren’t big hockey fans though.

Kitty O’Sheas is the bar

Thanks. Looks like they open at 2 though games at 12:30.

Probably going to try Millers Ale House first

SAN JOSE HOCKEY NOW: Max Miller reports Sharks goaltender James Reimer was disappointed not to be traded to a playoff contender before the deadline. Sharks GM Mike Grier reported a trade was never close for the 34-year-old netminder. Once Jonathan Quick and Joonas Korpisalo got traded, Grier said there wasn’t a big market for goalies.

I saw a breakdown on this

Travel - players complained about not enough 1st class seats essentially. I think they take delta. Essentially delta sends a normal 767 plane and they use it for a charter. Not sure what the bills can do

The food part being a c+ was interesting because the Bills upgraded / invested in the food / nutrition.

Then I think the other issue was hotel. Rookies didn’t like bunking with each other and wanted their own rooms

So the average food part was interesting

If Matthews does not re-sign and somehow becomes a UFA, they are all in to try and get him to join the Sabres.

There's a connection with Tage and Matthews that they believe helps, and they know the impact it would have on Matthews current team.

It's part of the reason why they're trying to maintain as much cap space as possible going forward.

Interesting.
Kinda fits what Gerbe said a year or so ago about the Sabres having keen eyes for a certain high profile player at the end of his current deal.

That said, Drive by Gerbe has struck out on multiple postings since then as well.
And I wouldn't hold my breath, especially if they won't spend the $9m dough on Meier...spending what $13m, $14m, or more on Matthews. ($16.3m = 2023 max contract value of 20% of Cap)? That would certainly be something.

Asplund is willing to battle along the boards, and does.

Olofsson runs away from those situations screaming like he saw a monster out of a horror movie.

- kingcong39


Asplund board battle > olofsson's board battle

Asplund everything else < olofsson everything else

we're not in a playoff race if he doesn't go on that tear. like or not. And, I've said multiple times this year he should be benched. I'm simply not going to let him get the Risto treatment. Maybe if we had goalies and defensemen who played defense, but we don't. I'm not blaming a small, soft role-playing forward who scores 20+ goals every year for being the reason the worst defensive team in the league lets up goals.
- lacaprup


I think you just answered the point of why this team TEAM gives up scoring chances ...
but you excluded the part where he refuses to play defensively.
It isn't just him, the coach and his system are complicit yet he stands out.
He contributes goals, just gives up far many more scoring chances that the opposition cashes as goals, hence his rather poopty +/- of -17 this season and a -20something nearly every season.

They have to have a better read on him than that. Christ, I'll go out on a limb and say I expect a goal from him today because I saw him get a few nice chances last game. Before last game...all puke worthy for the last 5.

They have to see something in practice. There has to be some tell. If you can't tell who the mark is within 30 minutes, it's you.

- lacaprup


So they should pay Olo $4.75m and play him 25 games a year?
That is some out of the box thinking for sure

Cernak is gonna have a target on his back.

Imagine being able to send greenway out late in the game instead of asplund.

But, you know , let's compare asplunds board work to olofsson.

It's like arguing which midget is taller 🤔

Imagine the NHL would have a big issue with someone storming down from the press box to start a fight, and even bigger issue with someone flying in from Nashville.

Your obsession with Asplund is odd. Time to move on, he has.

Just wrapping up the final chapter of the elmer saga.

Some posters thought he was a good nhl "glue" player.
Just shows how analytics can be deceiving.

I know you're probably feeling a bit glum, chum...

Sorry, I could imagine how I would feel a day after girgensons was traded for basically nothing.

Your HB level took a hit on the whole asplund is gonna replace girgensons mantra...

Get well soon pal.
I'll light a candle out front , before heading into the game.
Maybe poor out a 40 ouncer as well.
