Up 3 to zip... Sure seems like these guys aren't catering to fan desires.

 

[machpo]

that was a nice goal. Larsson with some confidence.

 

[Samsonite23]

Hopefully some of this play from the young guys carries over to next year.

 

[machpo]

I mis-heard "No holes barred" for the Mike Robataille roast event. Didn't need that mental picture.

 

[Uberpecker]

Not trying to jinx things either way, but would you guys take Grigorenko going full Johanssen if it meant losing out on the top 2 pick?

Hopefully he does that next year to make us a serious playoff team.

 

[Gras]

Ha RJ just acknowledged his Rasmussen funk.

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Am I crazy for thinking we might be good next year?

 

[Clock]

Canes look like hell.

If he was johanssen? Absolutely. Johanssen and Marner? I'm down.

If Buffalo is going to win with guys like Larsson and Grigs putting up points, so be it. We've had one of the top rated prospect pools for three years. You have to imagine that some of these guys are going to start to figure it out at some point and not all be busts because of "Buffalo's losing culture". Hey I'd love McDavid and Eichel, too. But if development keeps bearing fruit like this over the next few years, that's awesome.

Let's not forget a lot of us (myself included) didn't have Larsson too high on the depth charts around here. He could top out as a poor man's Stafford next year and be streaky as hell. He'd still be younger with more upside. Leading on Carolina may be bumming some people out right now but we still have two more games to lose. If they are going to show off some of the youth against Carolina and win, I can accept that.

If we are having problems losing, that's a pretty good problem to have. This being a tank nail-biter with what we are icing right now makes me extremely excited for next season.

 

[CrankyJay]

BUF will lose in Columbus

 

[99problems]

Canes look worse than the leafs and the yotes ..

 

[Uberpecker]

Hopefully he does that next year to make us a serious playoff team.

I agree, but you're avoiding the question. Grigorenko full Johanssen + Hanifin or McEichel?

 

[Montag DP]

Did Carolina just play yesterday or something? They look so bad.

 

[Uberpecker]

If he was johanssen? Absolutely. Johanssen and Marner? I'm down.

Not 100% sure, myself, but I think so, too.

 

[Ralonzo]

Jordan Staal is underrated as hell. Eric is poop

This. Can't believe he has his friggin' name on the Cup.

 

[Samsonite23]

Not 100% sure, myself, but I think so, too.

I'm all for guarantees. Guarenteeing us someone like Johanssen plus Marner/Hanifin is all I could ever want.

 

[RiotAct]

Not trying to jinx things either way, but would you guys take Grigorenko going full Johanssen if it meant losing out on the top 2 pick?

No .

 

[Montag DP]

So we have one shutout this year. Anyone think we make it 2?

 

[Montag DP]

Also, Larsson is good.

 

[CrankyJay]

Can't hate on that play.

 

[cramdizzl]

Time to just enjoy it I guess

 

[Gras]

What's our biggest win been this year? Nov leafs game?

 

[CrankyJay]

Hah here we go.
