Dennis Wideman will forfeit $564,516.13 in salary for his 20-game suspension. #flames

Sick puck control, awesome talent, pure goal scorer....

 

Damn, if the Sabres only could acquire half of that type of offensive talent...Eichel is very good, but he's never going to put up number close to what McDavid will in his career. Maybe this is the year the Sabres get lucky, Auston Matthews would an amazing addition to this team.....they will be in the running...

 

Don't shortchange Eich. He has made a number of jaw-dropping plays himself this year. Are you really suggesting he isn't half the offensive threat McDavid is?

From the notes: The Sabres enter tonight’s game with a 5-0-1 record in their last six road games against Atlantic Division opponents.

We'll see how McDavid looks in the post season. There have been plenty of guys who score crazy goals in the regular season and then completely disappear when the real season starts.

He plays for the Oilers. Might be a while before you see him in postseason.

Nice W last night! Les habitants are really in a free-fall...good to see the Sabres take advantage. Another point for Eichel and another strong performance between the pipes by Lehner.

Sure seemed like it. I'd rather have Eich to be honest. LOVE his personality. Buffalo all the way.

I love Eichel, i think he's a great player. I believe he's a better all around player, but he's not going to put up the offensive numbers McDavid will, that's all I am saying. It wasn't a slight against Eichel at all...The Sabres need an offensive minded player, Mathews would be nice...

I won't go that far; I'm very happy with Eich but I think we'd all fall in love with McDavid as well. Hard to go wrong here.

I love these article translations. I found another great line:

 

Brian Gionta, meanwhile, sealed the win with a goal in an abandoned cage
