If Staal gets a breakaway don’t be surprised if they take a commercial break. There will be time.

Maybe I’m naive, but I think NHL wants to be in Buffalo market. A smaller market routinely pulling down the biggest tv ratings helps the overall value of their national tv deal. Hopefully the league would have their commissioner go to bat to keep nhl hockey in Buffalo. At least as much as they have stood behind “new” market teams struggling for years to grow a fan base due to piss poor ownership/management.

Agreed. The league fights too hard to keep teams in terrible markets for them to just let someone buy the Sabres and move them willy-nilly. They know this is a strong market. Sabres aren’t going anywhere.

I don't think the Islanders have completed a check all night. Someone better tell their GM to pick up some grit and heart at the trade deadline as all they seem to be able to do is pump shot after shot at our goal.

(side note: I see the clock struck midnight and Risto turned back into Risto)

Rasmus Ristolainen.

You only need grit against competition, hitting is frowned upon against bar league teams

Rob Ray make a point without knowing he made a point.

Skinner has made a career of scoring goals in dirty areas.

All of the sudden he just doesn't go into dirty areas anymore since Kreuger.

In fact one of the major complaints here is that players don't get into that area.

Maybe, JUST MAYBE, the system is designed that way.

Yeah but 1 goal can have 2 assists. So there basically hoping they beat there Average goal production.

Fair point

Rob Ray, Mr Hockey Knowledge. Good lord

Speed, speed, speed.

Or I should say Matt Martin is clearly the difference between the Sabres and Islanders.

This system we are playing. Is it suppose to give up this many breakaways? Is Ralph happy when this happens cause he knows their playing it right.

Saw something on twitter.

Leafs fans basically saying no chance toronto does this deal.

Tavares
for
Eichel

One for one.

Eichel doesn't "fit" what Toronto wants to do
- ImThatGuy

Win?

Bryson 15 minutes of ice time, Eichel 10 minutes, Skinner 6 minutes.

On the last one, Risto (frank)ed up and Dahlin was zero help, so it's hard to hang that one on the sh¡t system.

Nice shot Staal

You can call the Sabres hot line and they will give you tips on how to do it.

I've actually liked Bryson's play - he and Mountour are doing their best to try to get the puck moving up ice. That said... now Jack is in the doghouse?

Montour sucks ass, he should go first.

listened to pham after 1st period...said rangers analyst steve valiquette said that these sabres are wearing ski masks when they pick up their checks twice a month...
