In misery of redwings of suckage for a long time
And we've yet to face them with a roster like we iced today.
It should be (re)pointed out that Buffalo missing Eichel is an enormous factor for them.

It’s not like if Tk and Myers were healthy they’d ice the best possible lineup anyway
Totally agree that Giroux should not be playing with Hayes. Especially today. Hayes was a mess all game.And just to expand on how broken that line is:
Giroux has been playing great individually and yet...
Giroux-Hayes-Patrick
11:07 at 5v5
39.13 CF% (worst on the team)
28.02 xGF% (worst on the team)
Using Ghost as an example because I think many would agree he was probably our Player of the Game...
Ghost with Hayes and Patrick - 7:01 at 5v5 - 25.00 CF%, 16.78 xGF%
Ghost without Hayes and Patrick - 10:08 at 5v5 - 52.17 CF%, 71.12 xGF%
THE COMBO DOESN'T WORK
CHANGE IT
Giroux, Patrick, and Hayes were the bottom four forwards in CF% and xGF% and Ghost got pulled down into the dirt because of that. Those four were together more than anyone.
The Sabres will be hideous forever
I will be very disappointed if we don't smoke them tomorrow.
A loser franchise run by losers who lose a lot and almost always lose
beat the Sabres today.
Agreed, but if its a penis....you hold that contact, something creepy about a banana thoughNever look a man straight in the eyes when you're eating a banana.
Yeah, beef has been banging this gong for a while now. I know, because I have tooAnd we are zero steps closer to winning a Cup, are we?
Are you OK? You seem really bitter about me speaking the truth about the franchise's state and its prospects for winning. I don't know why you're suddenly so angry about it, I've been saying this for years now.
Technically 2 points gives us a stronger league position to make the playoffs and therefore puts us closer to the cup.And we are zero steps closer to winning a Cup, are we?

If the absolutely random "less dump ins, more controlled entries" theme keeps going, I will be very happy.

I would say it's an opinion on the state of the Franchise and it's prospects but that's splitting hairs
Or when he's eating a corn dog...
Had to miss this game. Sounds like they are starting to play better.
With Myers I get the impression that he has all the physical tools in the world, but he doesn't think the game at a particularly high level. Lots of head scratching moments from him lately.Ghost looked very good, the best he has for a while, but it is the Sabres, I think Ghost is getting back to his pre-knee level, not quite to 2017-18. However, a better judge will be against a team that can actually forecheck.
The fourth line looked much better, they have the talent to be a top energy line, but seemed to be up and down this year.
Braun paired well with Sanheim, you have to watch his workload, but he does provide Sanheim a security blanket, I think Sanheim is what he is, a very skilled offensive defenseman who will always struggle a bit in the D-zone. Which is why Myers has to pull back his offensive game when paired with Sanheim - that's not a problem with Braun, who doesn't have one.
AV has been to two finals with a far worse roster than ours has he not? When in the playoffs anything can happen.Unfortunately, making the playoffs does little more than harm our draft position if all AV is gonna do is "play safe." Lavi is the last coach we had who I thought could take a roster and try to win with it instead of trying to avoid losing. At least there was suspense last season; waiting to see if AV would keep the regular season rolling in the playoffs instead of entering Safe Mode. It is a pity that he hasn't learned from the past.
