Oof, they play a lot of other teams that are also fighting for an eastern WC spot. Gonna be a lot of games there where I suspect our rooting interest will be "please no OT."

Down with the three point game!
Just poured myself a little coffee to try to watch Seattle-Washington but they have the 1000th game ceremony for Eberle tonight so we'll see how this goes.
The Flyers have a heck of a run too. I think we see them drop a bit with this

Goal differential would indicate the Caps are sitting higher than they should be in the standings.
Yes I know that metric isn’t the one-and-only way to judge a team’s performance.

Win for Rick
Having watched him closely for the past 2 seasons, I too am surprised.
Watching how Walker has played now since his acquisition and how the Avs D is performing, I believe Bo was placed in far too much of a scripted role that didn't play to his real strengths. The Sabres trade has revealed Byram to be way more responsible and solid playing the D position than he regularly showed in Colorado.
I guess when you are #4 behind, Makar, Toews and Girard/Manson, you do what you are told to do. Like ..... "play like you have handcuffs on"....lol
Bo is to the Sabres right now as he was to the Avs in the '22 playoffs. A positive spark plug.
Bednar obviously suffers from an embarrassment of riches.
That's what we all thought last summer too. Only to be deeply disappointed. Now is what we thought it would be.
P.S. The Sabres are now receiving some elite goaltending. Makes a big difference when you don't have a MacKinnon/Makar/Rantenan/Toews/Nuke in your line up.
Let's go Buffalo! I'm rooting for your team, even though they traded my boy Mitts out. Hope you guys have games to cheer for come April!

"Eric Cartman?"
I hope that thing is not too sharp to cause a locker room incident some day. Would be a shame.
I wake up to this buzz kill? No bueno, mi amigo.

I enjoyed Rob Ray calling Patrick Roy "Pat Roy" all night in the most flat Canadian English accent. Especially during the ridiculous interference challenge (once a delusional goalie, always I guess). Rob's a comedic legend, underrated as ever.

Clayton Keller is not the type of player I see the Sabres needing to add.
I would much rather the Sabres spend the meaningful trade assets to get Anthony Cirelli than Keller given that bottom 6 centers are a much bigger need than top 6 wingers. Especially with the guys they have coming up the pipeline.

Seconded. Maybe we can start a separate "Zach Benson Short King Looksmaxxing" thread for that.

Just listened to JW on the WGR reference this and nearly spit out my coffee

A 6 million dollar 3c is definitely on the pricey side, but I Guess if your team wants that so be it. Keller could be a game breaker type player, and his age works with the rest of the team

A $7M winger with Skinner ($9M), Tuch ($4.75M), Greenway ($3M), Benson (ELC), Peterka (ELC), and Quinn (ELC) all likely back and Kulich, Rosen, and Savoie coming soon, is a tough fit in the top 6, or even top 9.
If Skinner didn't have a full NMC and the Sabres were able to move him out to fit Keller in, then I would see the fit. But, I just do not see a world where the Sabres buyout Skinner and then trade for Keller with other pressing needs on the roster.

Power and a minor add could get Keller I bet, then go after Pesce. Then you go roslovic or stenlund as your 3c for a few seasons,slow kulich Rosen and Savoie. You're GM would have to be willing use Power, kulich, rosen, Savoie, samuelsson. Don't touch Benson or peterka.A $7M winger with Skinner ($9M), Tuch ($4.75M), Greenway ($3M), Benson (ELC), Peterka (ELC), and Quinn (ELC) all likely back and Kulich, Rosen, and Savoie coming soon, is a tough fit in the top 6, or even top 9.

Pesce is washed...and rumor was he nixed deal to Buffalo over summer

I doubt the Sabres have any interest whatsoever in moving Owen Power.

That's going to be a lot of money on the backend, I'm just rooting for you guys. Same with Ottawa. Need some heavy hitters or game breakers
