Fellas… Monday news dump: It appears the Buffalo Sabres head of heavies Milan Lucic is scouting in Scotland. #LetsGoBuffalo https://t.co/VXgF7xGKnx
Fellas… Hand up I’m a pigeon… But I’m convinced if the Buffalo Sabres put big Tage Thompson in the bumper spot and utilized him the way the Ducks use Leo Carlsson, this power play gets fixed overnight. I’ll hang up and listen. #LetsGoBuffalo

Fellas… My thoughts for you after game 17 - First, if rooting for the Buffalo Sabres was easy… everybody would do it. Major come down after the Columbus win. But I still haven’t heard no bell yet. This is why we hold the line. - The Sabres lost last night because they again did not execute on the PP. They had Vegas on the ropes.. and the choked. This is a common theme from this group so far this year. IMO it’s on Dahlin and Thompson. Big boys have to be big boys a man up. Makar and MacKinnon were terrible on the PP together last year for Colorado. This year they found something. Sabres big boys have not take a step up they’ve taken a step back. - A lot of #heat coming for Coach Ruff. Craig Rivet called in and it sounds like he will be applying the #heat to the staff on his pod today so excited to hear that. But IMO you can’t kill Ole’ Lindy Ruff just yet. The only thing I’ve disagrees with Coach Ruff on is the line combos. But to defend him the roster is littered with true centers got no choice to put them at wing. When the day comes I will be advocating for Jay McKee to step in. But that day is not today. - Colton Ellis great again… still think he’s hot but we’re getting close to real deal territory. Gotta win one for the guy. - Boo birds work up Jack Eichle and Mitch Marner. I can understand why some fellas might hate the guy… but that was the past we must look #forward - Ryan McLeod in the press box again last night. He’s too good a player to be there. I’m sure Jarmo K has gotten some calls on that something’s coming. - Reminder Sabres needs are a heavier player who can score some garbage goals, a Russian and I’m now going to add a veteran leader/presence. They’re too young. - Finally Doug Allen 0-2 on the year. Still think he needs more minutes and is an everyday NHLer. Like Colton Ellis This team just refuses to play well in front of the guy. Big one coming up. When it’s the Tampa Bay Lightning it’s #personal #LetsGoBuffalo
