Conversation happening in the Bills thread. What made Gretzky so dominate? How would he do in today's NHL? Would Crosby be better than him in the 80's NHL?

Time for a new one
 

So my QB ranks are as follows
Rosen
Mayfield
Darnold
Jackson
Allen
Rudolph

The first of course was his tin-foil comment on Toronto predetermining outcomes that go against Buffalo.

Who is getting traded?

I mentioned I was in the Queen City yesterday. Did I see a picture of Cellino of Cellino and Barnes on a Cellino Plumbing truck? Twin? Side gig?

Makes sense...the only guy who actually plays hard every night and is having a career year, has good possession numbers on an abysmal possession team...but yeah, lets trade him...

SMFH...

You are seeing more and more Dmen under 6'0 on these lists.

Kids I will be keeping a close eye on this year are:

1) Adam Boqvist - Swedish RHD. Arguably the best player in this years Ivan Hlinka Tournament.  5GP 1G 7A  (lottery pick)

2) Bode Wilde - RHD US National Team Dman who will be attending Harvard this fall. Читать дальше...

Washington visits for a matinee today. They will be wearing their Winter Classic Jerseys today as well.

Who is going to watch?

Very bored and can't sleep.  I didn't find a thread like this (though there's likely to be one with this group), so I thought what a good time to revel in Sabres past glory.  With all the uninspiring players on the team now, I thought I'd give my picks on the best All-Time Sabres line up.  I've been watching since 1970, so I've seen them all.  There were some really good times.

True story.  I had had it.

Don’t just slam doors do something. Send someone packing. Waive a crappy vet. Do something!

Earlier in the year he demoted Moulson and acquired Wilson and the team was better for it. The deadline is still a few weeks away, but something needs to be done now. While appeasing the fan base isn’t a reason to do something, sending a message to the lockeroom is.

First step: trade Lehner or Kane now.
2nd step: waive now Nolan, Josefson and or Gorges.

The Sabres hit an all time low tonight by being shutout for the third straight time.

Sabres are 31st in GF and it’s not even close
Sabres are 29th in GA
Sabres are in 30th place in the NHL, tied for last in pts.

We thought the offical tank teams were awful, but this is the worst hockey I have ever seen.

You know, I just don't like him.  And today, I figured out why.

He does a perfectly good job of describing a hockey game.  He really is very good.

There's nothing wrong with his voice.

He's no John Gurtler.  (If you're reading, John, I'm not saying this to be mean; that just wasn't the job for you.)

You know what it is?  I associate his voice with this team sucking.  And that's not his fault, but I forever will.

Another one

What's the game plan for the Sabres next season? What expectations for the 2018/19 season do you have? Can they become a playoff team or are we still "a couple of years away"?

.

"After the second goal." Presumably by the Kings. And then what? He slapped one of the cute little kids in the stands?
