Sabres & NHL 2016-17 - Victor Antipin Signs One Year Deal

[26CornerBlitz]

@pham1717

Lehner is still day to day but has told Bylsma he'd like to be the backup tomorrow.

[shrader]

 

I like the way Deslauriers plays and I've been looking forward to his return for this reason. To me, he is an NHL player. Maybe he plays a small role, but an upgrade is an upgrade. And to me, a good 4th line makes a big difference between a mediocre team and a competitive team.

 

Absolutely. Even if you're upgrading your 12th forward, you're still making the team better. Grant isn't an NHL player.

Ryan O'Reilly knew it would be "sick" to score a goal helmetless. Then he did it & ended his slump. Story: http://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-ryan-oreilly-ends-slump-helmetless-goal/

And, he looked like Ovechkin with the one timer, too!

That sure looks like a young Eichel to me.

Yeah, they didn't exactly try to make that a difficult one.

Anyone who boos Vesey tonight needs to get a life. He didn't owe Buffalo or their fans a single thing.

He turned down Buffalo. Right or wrong, he will get a smattering of boo's, won't last all game.

That's like booing a girl who chooses to date a different guy. Grow up.

I wouldn't do it, but it will happen. There will be some boo's, I don't know how you think there won't be. If you think all 15,000+ people at the game are "grown up", you're mistaken....

@goldieonice

Perhaps this will now be put to rest and there will be some retractions for the false media accusations. Coach Gallant himself clarifies...
