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 ? πŸ€”

He's living of Olo's PP shot.

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.

- lacaprup


Jack's not a "nice" player.

D!ckbag and his bike buddy are the only 2 jerks that can't wave to the parking lot kid on the way out of the arena.

Every other guy at least treats him as human.

He's very unlikable. You may agree politically with him.
He loves tom brady
He's just a snooty man

No longer a snooty kid

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.

Blow it up again. I'm ready.

It's either that or fire the coach, and it certainly sounds like they're not doing that (but he's as big a problem as the players).

This collection of players is passionless, lifeless, gutless and heartless, and not ONE OF THEM would have survived one day in a Mark Messier-led dressing room.

- lacaprup


We already determined around here that:

Olo should be the first guy trade - tooph9
Olo is a pp specialist
Olo shoots it into the goalies pads
Olo despite only playing 70 nhl games can't score 5x5
Olo's not a sniper because he doesn't score in every shot


Olo has been the best player in my opinion.
Other than risto and jack.

Eichel is a top 10 all time buffalo talent.
Top 3 sabre talent wise.
Gil, dom and eichel.
La la, mogilny ect. Eichel's more talented.

Couple (phail and tralph) hand picked " easy to get along with" coaches. Bylsma fired because he wouldn't talk to him over coffee in the hallway.

This system has me guessing, as the entire team is terrible. So it could be the coach?

Still probably eichel fathead getting in the way.
I'm sure bogo or any of his friends who have left, have had his ear as well. Have fun elsewhere....

Wasn't there a rumor that the Pegulas were looking to sell the Sabres? Only way I would stick around for a rebuild is if that dynamic duo isn't a part of it.

God knows how they lucked into McBeane but it seems like nothing short of a miracle

Hell, relocating the team would feel like a compassionate euthanasia. This franchise has stage 4 cancer

The first is true. Like Parcels said; You are what your record says you are. Olo has difficulty scoring unless he's on the PP. I do like watching him bury those on the PP though.

At what point, how many games in would you then agree to it? 82, 125, 150?

I honestly think we should start a gamestop type of internet revolution and bully the Pegula's into selling the team.

They will make a doc about us someday.

Let me check the standings..brb...

Wow, both are doing great ... Bolts have poured in 54 G's, Panthers 44 G's and are 1st and 2nd in a very tight, exciting division. They are really, really fun to watch.

By this time next week, Sabres should have amassed 32 or 33 G's and only be 12 pts out of PO's.

They are a complete and utter joke of an organization from top to bottom.

The coach is the only guy in the building who can't understand that his system is literally destroying the careers of his players. These are gifted offensive powerhouses who he has turned into 13 Girgensons.
I always wondered what a team full of Girgensons / Larssons types would look like, lol.

- sbroads24


Yes, he is. The guy who scores the goal - whether it's the way Andreychuk and Vanek did it, or the way Olo does it - is doing the hard part. The guy who makes a pass when the team has a 5 on 4 or 5 on 3 advantage is doing the easy part. The guy in front creating a screen for Olo is doing more than the pass. Jack is a passenger on the Olo PP train right now, and Hall, Stall, Rino, Risto, or Dhalin could all make those passes on the PP.

It's amazing to cause he gets some amazing chances, he's either hitting the goalies pad, or hitting the goalposts. Kid most have hit 10 goalposts already this year.

I can live with Olo being a PP specialist who scores the PP goals. I can't live with Jack being a PP specialist who gets the PP assists.

change.org petition? i'd bet we can get 20K+ plus signatures if any amount of effort was put in.
if we really buckled down and tried... easily 100k + signatures and a brief 15 minutes of fame for one of us.

Couldn’t disagree more.

Olofsson literally gets to stand still while the other 4 guys work the puck around and try and get it to him.

The goal last night was a wide open net set up by Eichel and Reinhart

Olo has the specialized skill: a great, elite shot. Any of them can make those passes in the top 6 group + Risto and Rasmus. Any of them.
