Buffalo off to good start but 5th
« on: October 26, 2018, 07:46:56 PM »
Wow, can't believe that Buffa-slug logo is used on this site.

Anyone notice the Sabres are 5th despite being 6-4 after 10 games?! Not bad but they're still sitting 5th behind :TOR-NHL: :BOS-NHL: :TBL: :MON-NHL:

I like the turn around so far in Buffalo!

I'm actually a little surprised to see Buffalo with a winning record. Hutton as their starter must be paying off. Guess the rebuilding has finally shown a positive ROI in Buffalo.

I require from my teams, proper levels of anger, belligerence and some good ol' fashion piss 'n' vinegar.

Sabres are still 5th in the Atlantic. Hutton seems to be a stabilizing force in net for Buffalo.

The sniff test with the Sabres isn't good. Their goaltending is an issue and not an easy fix. Some clubs take years to fix the problem in net. Since Miller left, Buffalo's been struggling to find a guy to plug in nightly. It also doesn't help that their defence has been weak and not much help is in sight.

Sabres are currently sitting tied for 3rd with Boston (22pts) in the Atlantic Division. Not bad. Buffalo even beat Tampa Bay last night 2-1.

Hutton has been lights out.
Another backup goalie having a career season so far is Leafs' waiver fodder 35yo Curtis McElhinney. Practically stoned the Canadiens last night making 48 saves! Time to unload Mrazek (26yo) and Darling (29yo) for a back of popcorn or something. :rofl:

Sabres are climbing in the standings thanks to Hutton. Ullmark will be good for them too.

  • Rhino7: @Daddy, thanks for what you said lol. It was the ultimate challenge to beat JWalkerjr88 last season, I wanted my path to go through him so it makes my title run that much better! I just wanted to get to the SB and figured at that point anything can happen and lucky for me, my boys had enough left to take out BAB. Live is the most challenging league I’m in and most fun, so thanks for what you all do to make it that way.
    Today at 10:28:58 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: Rhino that was a pretty close final too i think
    Today at 10:41:59 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: eitrher than or i had somekey players not perfoem well at all regardless great win by u
    Today at 10:43:31 PM
  • Rhino7: Appreciate it, your team is solid. I expect to see you make another run
    Today at 10:46:37 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: You did well Rhino. I appreciate the battle. The loss didnt sting more because i was undefeated, i know fully that being undefeated in the reg season doesnt mean anything in the playoffs. When rhino and i played this past season, the better team won.
    Today at 10:58:04 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: This next year im coming full force. So far my pattern is win a chip every other year. Lets keep the streak going!!
    Today at 10:58:35 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: im coming back too
    Today at 11:02:00 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: lets see if my team performs like last yr
    Today at 11:02:10 PM
  • Daddy: Well.. if im undefeated heading into the NFC Title game & I lose. I may beat up my neighbor. I dont like that guy anyway.
    Today at 11:07:13 PM
  • Daddy: I hate losing. Especially when its the biggest moments. I hate my teams i root for to lose. I really hate for the teams i built myself to lose.
    Today at 11:08:50 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: I dont like losing ever. But a loss is a loss. Im pissed either way
    Today at 11:09:47 PM
  • Braves155: Are you also a perfectionist in your everyday life?
    Today at 11:10:05 PM
  • Daddy: Im not a perfectionist in my dynasty life. I make all kinds of bad trades and make all kinds of mistakes.
    Today at 11:10:51 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: If i traded all my picks to a division rival in a rebuild and he beat me in the title game with Desmond ridder or lose undefeated. Its all a loss at the end of the day
    Today at 11:11:08 PM
  • Daddy: Nobody is right all the time. Its the beauty of sports.
    Today at 11:11:13 PM
  • Daddy: Beat me with Desmond Ridder and i trade for Desmond Ridder.
    Today at 11:11:54 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: You playing chess not checkers lol
    Today at 11:13:04 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Rhino beat me with goff and then traded goff
    Today at 11:13:44 PM
  • Daddy: It helps to know sports but ive signed guys ive never heard of like SP Dallas Kuechel. Nobody knew who he was. I saw he earned a spot. I took a chance. A couple years later the dude wins the Cy Young.
    Today at 11:14:05 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: 3 out of the 4 starting QBs in the title games have been traded this offseason
    Today at 11:14:21 PM
  • Daddy: I think i had him on a prospect deal.
