Nice welcome home party for McBain.

 

[Jame]

I agree.

I wasnt a big time Sekera guy but man oh man I hope Compher comes through and makes that deal look less disgusting.

if there was an all star game this year... he'd be in it

@BNHarrington:
In last two games, #Sabres have given up guys' 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd and 3rd goals of the season. Get rich against the weak for sure.

If we score 0 or 1 regulation goal tonight, it'd be the 14th time in 21 games since Nolan took over. Also, if we get shutout, we'll have 65 non-shootout goals, putting us on pace for 130 goals for the season--the record for fewest goals is 133 by the 1953-54 Blackhawks.

In other news, this Jason Pominville bobble head looks nothing like Jason Pominville.

 

[couture23]

Well, hopefully we can net at least one.

 

[KeepCalmandCorsiOn]

Surely if a team that's lost six straight can score 3 goals in one period, the Sabres can too!!

 

[ZZamboni]

I like how they have all the teams banners hanging from the rafters at xcel energy center. FNC should consider that. Nice touch.

If I didn't see the name on the base, I would have guessed that was Suter.

 

[gallagt01]

This team still can't pass. Ennis just put it in Sulzer's skates and he was two feet away from him.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Not getting shut out in back to back games is a moral victory?

 

[KeepCalmandCorsiOn]

The powerplay...

 

[gallagt01]

Ehrhoff is terrible on the PP. Awful decision after awful decision game after game.

 

[SabresFanNorthPortFL]

Honestly ask your self, how many actual NHLers do we have on this team? Yeah, they collect a NHL paycheck but do they belong? Will they be in the league in 3 years?

Miller, Moulson, Ott, Ernhoff, Myers, Stafford (hate him but he is).... Really, who else?

Girgs, Larrson and Pysyk get a pass....rest suck. We live off a few games from Foligno and Ennis but reality is, they aren't NHLers. Team is terrible and constructed horribly over the last five years,

First Montoya, then Niklas *beep* Backstrom... I couldn't handle it.

Ennis is certainly an NHLer, but some AHL time would help Foligno.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

It's almost pointless to have Scott if they give him a penalty every time he touches someone

cough cough

Idk about that. He should of been up/down AHL the last few years. Skills yes. Defined role? Asked to play out of skill set? Etc... Can't/won't say for sure he is an NHLer. Flynn is way more of a complete, successful NHLer right now....that doesn't say much of Ennis

If you don't think Ennis is an NHLer you are wrong

I guess you feel differently but I'd take 1 Ennis over 3 Flynn's.

 

[machpo]

Condor sighting!

 

[SabresFanNorthPortFL]

Not meant to argue about certain players, just a point about how did we get to the point that there is actually only a handful of actual NHLers on this team, no top line talent, no fire, just a ****** team. Sucks watching them for the last three years.

Well if you want to watch a team that has no chance of ever doing anything against Boston or the Western Conference teams in the playoffs the East is full of them. A rebuild was needed. There's plenty of other things to do at 7:00 every night for the next few years.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Omark just isn't very good is he?
