Took them to the Cup & led the league in playoff scoring if i remember correctly
I guess your definition of “great” varies

- jdfitz77


Perspective eludes you fitz

Gabe Davis: GREAT
21 years old
4th round rookie pick
128th overall
17th or 18th wide receiver picked in 2020 draft
7 Td catches
Led team that went to the AFC championship game in tds
Very few expectations / might not make team as a 4th

Danny Briere: NOT GREAT
Signed gigantic 7+ million $ multi year contract
Scored 30 goals 2 out of the remaining 8 years of his career after leaving buffalo
Had 1 stanley cup appearance
Huge expectations

See the difference between great and not great

It makes sense that the linemen caught it, just by knowing how close they are to players and for a lot longer

But yeah no way they play a full 56 games

This is also the NHL's fault since they didn't do the Rapid Testing

The NBA isn't have these issues

Ffs dude, that’s ridiculous
If you have to repeatedly qualify a point,
then it’s not a good one

Go back to talking about how Dahlin should be a 20goal scorer
Or face punching at least

The two linesmen who worked both games of the Sabres-Devils series have entered COVID-19 protocols, The Athletic has learned.

This gives further evidence to the possibility of on-ice transmission, which the NHL said it had not definitively seen.

Pretty sure there was some test tube baby on here saying this wouldn't happen...

At this rate, all of our players will be out of shape by the time we resume again.

NHL stance is deny, because they cannot admit fault.

The NHLPA is going to eat their lunch.

I could really see a lawsuit coming from the NHLPA/the Sabres.

I thought I respectfully brought up some good talking points 🤔

First time I've jumped in on the gabe Davis debate.
You look stupid. 7 tds as a rookie 4th rounder.

Briere: first time I've brought that up.
Idiot

You are gonna run out of people to talk too.

I really like Danny Briere. Fit's my profile of hard working, nhl success story.

July 1st 2007 sucked as a fan.
Looking back though, neither drury or briere went on to play better elsewhere. Prime years were in Buffalo at least.

Imagine prime vanek with eichel

Roslovic has been killing it for CBJ in a bigger role and playing center

Have 0 idea why we didn’t go after him. WPG wanted a D man all offseason

He's a good coach but sometimes enough is enough with how he goes about coaching.
