Yes we do, that's why I think it's a big win this Early. It was a nice rally.

“It’s just these young guys,” Okposo said during the Sabres’ locker cleanout. “They want to learn. In the NHL, we have a lot of different egos with a lot of guys that want things for themselves. We’re very fortunate on this team where if you were to pan to the bench when there’s a goal scored, everybody is genuinely happy for that person. And that’s not always the case.

“It’s extremely special and something I’m very proud of.”

Each player on the Sabres this season, from the youngest to oldest, has detailed how Okposo fostered an environment in which everyone felt comfortable to speak. The factions that existed in past years were eradicated once Okposo became the unquestioned leader of the group at the start of last season.

Personalities of all kinds are accepted and encouraged. If anyone needs help on or off the ice, they know they can call Okposo. At 34 years old and 16 seasons into his NHL career, Okposo captained the Sabres to within two points of a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. His words of wisdom guided them through adverse times and his relentless work in games and practices was a beacon for a team filled with players under the age of 25.

“I think he’s been the best captain I’ve had," said Zemgus Girgensons, an alternate captain who has been with the Sabres since 2013. “He’s one of the guys that I look up to, and I think a lot of the success here is because of Kyle and the way he handled things. I think he held the team together, the times in need, he was always there. He’s a part that was huge for us.”

Don’t you see the flaw in the back patting then? If everything just gets pushed to next year you’re never wrong

And guess what? No one cares about anyone of us being right or wrong.

I thought Tyler Myers was going to win a Norris until like his third year in Winnipeg.

Using Elon Musk to try and make your point. That's a good one. He should stick to trying to build cars, because lately, he's been failing hard at even that.

To be fair, he is kind of right. Fangio as the Bills DC would be an excellent career move for him. An Allen vs. Fangio matchup has been the closest thing to a "sure thing" in the NFL since 2019. He could avoid it that way.

That's true.

And I do expect him to have success in Philly. They had an elite defense a few years ago, and have largely the same guys coming back.

They both look so Happy, probably right after they stole another 5mill from the Sabres celebrating riding Bare Back down Bend Over Mountain.

It's only a cesspool because most can't take the truth about the Sabres and that the Organization has made most Fans see how bad they really are Run.

Even though I do poop on him here as a bit of a schtick, I do think he's a good defensive coordinator. I just don't understand the aura around him. He's obviously earned the respect of a lot of people in this league by putting in his time, but people in league circles use that fact alone to put guys like him in the same conversation as guys like Parcells and Belichick when things like the win column indicate that it's not warranted.

Exactly, he's a perfectly fine DC, he's not the second coming like some pretend he is.

Using a billionaire to prove my point is a dig ?

Kulich with two goals and Rosen has two assists through 2.

Savoie has 11 points in 6 WHL playoff games.

Whalberg has acclimated well to Rochester and looks great.

Ostlund just arrived.

I get that we're all cathartic poopting on Granato but all of these "country club" comments from the locker room are an equal indictment on the poopty job Okposo did as captain, and by extension, Adams's decision to bring him back.

I’ve been saying country club vibe from my source for a few months now

Sabres are running out of nhl roster spots for these guys.

Don’t know who I would move. But we can easily trade for a decent named player this offseason. We have the ammo

I half jokenly texted my buddy’s that in the oilers get knocked out early and Mcdavid is pissed.

Send an offer. We have the prospects and picks

Let’s play the comp game.

I usually hate player comps but I’m bored and can’t care much for the NBA play-in tournament.

Peterka-Ehlers
Quinn- Oshie
Benson- Marner
Kulich- Horvat/El Nino
Savoie- Marchessault/Debrincant
Ostlund- RNH
Rosen- Terravinen

Power- Devon Toews
Byram- Reilly/Montour
Johnson- Schmidt
Novikov- McNabb

Levi- Saros

Using a billionaire to make your point about conspiracy theories? Yeah.

I wasn't even necessarily talking about the layoffs. I was talking about the actual building of vehicles. I see a new story about the cybertruck breaking in a different way every other day, accelerator pedal covers coming off and wedging the pedal down full throttle, their special glass cracking in a small hailstorm while other cars near it had no issue, the wheel snapping off after a fender bender, driving a mile down the road after taking delivery and the screen flashes red "pull over" because they fücked up the steering, the "frunk" that can cut your finger off... and just general build quality of all Teslas, shipping cars with visible cracks in major castings, misaligned body panels, not to mention all the auto-pilot problems
