Buster did you get anyone to take the Condo.

Oh man, thanks for asking. Yeah, someone grabbed it via VRBO on monday. Funny enough, not 10 minutes after the rental I got a job offer. It was a good day.

Shameless plug for anyone looking for a getaway this spring - April is pretty open.

We suck AND it's boring. You can suck and be fun to watch, or you can be good and be boring, but this is just the worst. Sucky and boring. Burtal. Absolutely burtal
- jcragcrumple

It's a joke.

It's tiring and annoying to watch.

It's why I took a very pessimistic approach to these offseason moves and lack of moves.

It's made this less surprising

Just like multiple coaches before him. Can we blame Trump, Obama, and Bush too?
- lacaprup

So let me ask.

When are the Sabres allowed to win any games when Eichel isn't superhuman?

Because so far the answer is- never

He hasn't been dominant in a single game this season, yet the Sabres still have wins. What, exactly, is Jack Eichel to you? Is this your definition of an elite player?

I would have put him in my top 10 players in the league based on his last two seasons of work.

I’m not sure what is going on with him this year though but he has flat out not been good enough.

He's been the only reason to watch this awful team for the last 5 years. He has had a bad 10 games and people just want to kill him. Amazing.

I don't want to kill him, but would like to see more from him. He likes Ralph, so has been said, but seems to be getting the life sucked out of him by Ralph.

Yeah Borgen back to the taxi squad. Hope this is just a paper move, the kid looked like he belonged.

Do diligence is my guess.

Especially in your own back yard.

It’s frustrating.

This team schematically doesn’t get enough chances, however if they weren’t so unlucky they would have scored enough to at least cause a 2-to-4 point swing in the other direction.

They once again suppress quality chances against but can’t get a save from either goalie when they need one.

Ralph wants to play like Trotz’s Islanders play. Drag teams into the mud and win the 2-1 and 3-2 games but we don’t have any scoring what so ever and our goalies let in 1-2 back breaking goals per game.

Nothing wrong with giving him criticism. He deserves it just like everyone else.
- Buff36


If he is injured, seems stupid to criticize a guy that's playing for the team, not himself.

Criticize him if he got injured skiing, sure......

How did he get injured, they say it was during off-season training. Do we know that or maybe he fell of the tandem bike. I don't know what is up, but he does not seem here.

It's not a matter of who replaces him (if he's hurt, which I 100% believe he is not). it's a matter of getting my player healthy. take a look. we're wasting another season.
- lacaprup


Ok, so you have no answer for who's replacing the injured eichel stats, from sitting him until he's healthy?

Believe it or not, it could be worse.

Look at what? We suck.
I'm disappointed in eichel, ready to trade him myself.

Fan's got what they wanted though, skimmer with eichel.
No shots in 23 minutes
Sam completely lost with out eichel and useless
2-0 shutout

Way to bring the best player down, by putting him with a 1 point player that also creates on his own.

Or, take him out of the lineup until he's healthy since we're tanking with him.

Is anyone 5% confident Jack will score two non-ENGs in any one of the Sabres next ten games?

Me either. Like I said, Jack's a nice player. That's about it.

Wrong. The 4 even strength points from jack will be replaced by whomever takes the 1C. not much to ask 4 points in 11 games frankly. The 7 PP points will be replaced by anyone on the 1st PP who will be feeding Olo. Olo is the one responsible for those points. You act like we're losing anything more than a PP specialist with Jack out nursing his phantom injury you're clinging to.

Any time a guy gets 3 points in an nhl game, that's dominating.

6 points thru the first 3 games. Doing his part, I would say.

The last 9 ? Um ? 🤔
