It is difficult to do so.

I made it through 12 minutes on Monday, 11 minutes Tuesday, and 40 minutes yonight... although at 12 minutes into the 2nd I was ready to turn it off...but the wife was watching something on the main TV inside.

Who scored the Sabres goal anyway?

I refuse to watch it period.

He might be a little biased, but Jordan Palmer said Josh Allen might be the most Physically gifted Quarterback he has ever seen.

Anyone who's been a sports fan around here for the last 20 yrs knows why, Thank God the Bill's have brought a little joy the last few years. But any sports fan knows we will just keep coming back for more, and have every right to B!tch.

He tries real hard, looks really good defensively, and the Sabres can get a bargain at 3M over 3 seasons. What’s not to love.

Yeah he's got all the tools, run, throw, rag doll Dlineman. It's gonna be fun to watch, actually scary cause he still has room to grow as a player.

I can't understand anyone paying money for tickets and a Covid test to watch this sh!t show in person and support this organization that has their head up their ass.

Connor Sheary has more goals than
Jack Eichel, Taylor Hall and Jeff Skinner combined.

This roster has holes too don’t kid yourself.

Eakin, Reider, Sheehan, Lazar are all 4th line quality at best.

Thompson will just never get it so that experiment is over.

Staal and Okposo are both cooked.

They need to keep Borgen in the lineup and try to find a dance partner that needs help on defence and move out a RHD ++ if need be and get a top 9 quality forward in here ASAP.

Nashville is a tire fire right now. Maybe they can put a package together and try and pry Forsberg or Arvidsson out of there I have no idea.

Not that I’m against acquiring another forward....
but if the talented offensive players we have now can’t score, what makes u think a new guy would do any better?

Hall MVP level.
Staal hOF career.

All of the sudden they are bad. Or is it the coach plays a system where you get point shots because he actually domes to now what he is doing and is a piece of poop moron.

(frank) Kruger I hope he gets mildly injured where he is no longer able to coach the team.

- ImThatGuy


I guarantee he doesn’t tell them to stay away from the net
You sound ridiculous with that dude

These guys all know to go to the net

Not trying to be a d!ck,
just wonder why u guys put yourselves through it?

There’s better ways to spend 2.5-3hours if they’re upsetting u guys so much

Well we have 4 guys who one would deem “top 6 forwards”. 5 if you want to include Cozens already which actually wouldn’t be a stretch after what he’s shown already as long as he can maintain it.

They are using Skinner to drive a line in the bottom 6 which isn’t the worst idea given the success the Lazar line has had in stretches but having guys like Thompson, Olofsson, and Staal in the top 6 is not a winning formula

No but I saw hall win an MVP, Staal have an MVO career. Eichel be more productive than this.

The coach plays a system where we drafted a can’t miss sure as poop puck controlling d man and we don’t let him carry the puck.
Yes my convinced not having a coach at all would be 10,000 times better than this (frank) face of a idiot coach.

- ImThatGuy


I agree totally. But at what point do you (Dahlin) say “(frank) it, I’m going on a breakaway and not crossing the blue line and rimming it around the boards!”?

And if Soccer Douche doesn’t like it tell him to suck my wang for god sake! It’s pathetic. Why are they listening to the coach?

And if Jack can March in and get disco dunce fired, surely he can tell Ralph wiggun to stick it. Or tell Kim to stick it.

Maybe that is it. Imagine getting $5 mill a year or more. You get injured, have surgery, things ache. Part of getting older.

Why not go to a team with imbeciles for owners who throw $ at players that were good 4 years ago. Purchase a house 1.5 hrs away from your family in TO, and milk it.

What does Taylor hall have to prove? Or skinner? Or Staal? Not a gd thing. Because I know if I had their $ and didn’t want to put up with the madness of Toronto or Montreal, and had a plan to retire at 40, I would probably do the same thing.

Why finish a check? Why go in the dirty areas? Why face wash and get rough? You get hurt, your body is sore, and you just want to make it to golf season.

That is why players come here

The GM that signed skinner is a (frank)ing twat who should be shot and pissed on because everyone knew he is a family man and wants his sisters to come to his games. He wasn’t going anywhere else. Not saying I would have signed him but not for that salary.

Staal is here to get $ and retire back to Tunder Bay and life like a king. Hall? Close to Toronto. How many injuries did he have early in his career? Skate to the face? Shoulder injuries etc.

Not enough hungry young guys that don’t suck to make people want to work hard.

I think it’s more important to bring in a goalie we can depend on
That way the skaters can have the confidence to push offensive play more

Bc the way we are playing now, idk if it matter what forwards we bring in- bc we just aren’t playing “good” offensive hockey

If u want something like this, then i hear ya:
Skinner-Eichel-Reinhart
Hall-Cozens-_______
Olofsson-Staal-_______
-Line of Larry’s-

I’m with ya that those blank spots are problems
Maybe give Asplund & Ruotsalainen a shot?
Give Quinn his “tryout” games & see what happens?
Keep Borgen in the lineup & trade Montour or Miller for a decent RW?

But again....
unless Ralph & the players feel more comfortable to let loose offensively, i just don’t know of it matters what we do up front?
