I am optimistic and for the very reasons you mentioned, especially the bolded. FTR, I'm in the one third that said yes.

Yep. Math is hard. Especially while trying to do other things, like actually working for the first time since February.😂 So, do you think they will make the playoffs this coming season? I do,.. I think, just not sure why, though.

Sorry, this made me giggle. I would hope so.😂 If you extrpolate their post health, end of the year "run", it still only puts them around mid-80s points and out of the playoffs. I just don't get the optimism. I'm just looking forward to watching better hockey for the entire year. If they somehow top the benchmark set by Disco Dan all those years ago, I guess that'll be a win.

This is pretty myopic thinking. Every team has the new things they are hopeful for. The problem for the Sabres, and ultimately the fans, is that a lot of those teams are already good. We need our new hopefuls to not only come through for us, but also be much better than other team’s hopefuls in order for us to leap frog them. But I’ve been told it’s different this time. How long do I have to wait?… two more years? It’s always two more years.

But it is a game that championship teams win: played like garbage, a two column injury list, Gabe Davis with a bad pin, and they still found a way to win.

Our receivers suck. Period.

I don’t get the Athletic and I don’t care. You can’t rank something that is subjective. I mean, you can, but it has no relevance to me.

I’ve already listed a bunch of broadcasts. And it doesn’t matter anyway. It’s subjective. I like him, you don’t. That’s fine.

Just,… no. Do you ever listen to other broadcasts? I watch a game a night, most nights, 2. Some days even three. Dan, and even Razor, are nowhere bottom tier.

Careful what you wish for. Hurricanes aren’t blizzards. You can’t just walk down the gas station to get another 30 pack. They are long and they suck.

Absolutely. Everyone is convinced the “hit” in Miami was a concussion, but couldn’t his response to that also be attributed to heat stroke and dehydration?

I’ll often listen to the French broadcast of Canadian games. Shows you you how much a pbp guy even matters if you are watching.

Is that even a thing anymore? I really doubt it.

Absolutely. It’s even funnier because he was looking right at him.

Enjoy your misery. I know I will.

They don’t always call the game. In fact I find them to have way more banter. Most likely, your threshold for banter is just way lower when it’s the Sabres.

The Panthers crew, the Blues crew, heck, even the Avalanche crew can be brutal. Sharks, Kings, i could go on but i don’t have to and i don’t really care if you agree. I think we got lucky with Dan and he will only improve once our RJ bias disappears. Talking only for TV of course as I have never had to listen to him on the radio. I am confident that that would be torturous.

I got it through NhL.com/sabres/video/blah/blah/blah. No issues.

Truth be told, with a month and a half left in the season and the Sabres already knocked out of the playoffs, listening to RJ make a nothing Tuesday game sound like a playoff game got a little tiresome. I like Dan. I think he’s good.

He took a pretty nice shot.

I’d rather vacuum than sweep. And it just takes a little edge off the chill of the cement.

Who just got whapped in the face at the end.

Man,I’ve missed this. Upper 50s. Perfect.

Skinner being the first F back,… that’s funny.

Am I the only one who has no problem with what Miami did? Buffalo fans are the last people that should gripe about a weather related home field advantage. In the end, this game will have zero relevance to how far they go into the playoffs.
