Um. He’s 34 making $750,000 this year. Sure. It’s the love. 😂

So even you don’t know what you mean. Gottit. And just what i thought.

Team defense. You’ve been saying this over and over. I would love to see some examples of what you are talking about, cuz I have no idea what you mean. They look like every other team now. Something I have not been able to say for ten years. Sometimes they get hemmed in, sometimes they don’t, just like every other team at times during games. I have found that it’s most often a function of who is on the ice, not the D system. Again, I would love some examples where you think it is the defensive system and not the personnel. Sell it to me, cuz I’m just not buying it, yet. Sorry.

I saw that. I guess I missed the thread going south.😂

Wuh? Not sure how you got there. I don’t love Jack. He’s irrelevant to me. I’d rather talk about the Sabres being good than another team being bad. In the end, it’s all that matters.

Don’t pull a Neo on us playing dumb. You knew what you were doing.😂

I was just wondering this myself. I have always said that hate for hate’s sake is fine in sports, cuz it doesn’t mean anything. It just bugs me in this case. I think it’s because i feel it is misplaced. As you know, I never thought the Tank was the answer. So hating the guy who (I felt) was put in a no win situation just feels ugly to me. I’ll stop. Hate away. It’s what makes sports great, after all.

We have one more win than them. Of course, the 3 OT/SO losses make it look much better for us,… I guess. As long as we can make fun of Jack…

Before seeing the graphic I posted, would you have guessed that their records were almost identical? I wouldn’t have. Certainly not by reading this thread. I have no idea what this means. I don’t think any of our wins matter. Don’t get me wrong, i’m enjoying them, but they don’t mean anything. Our losses certainly don’t matter, either. I will say that I really like the hockey the Sabres are playing to finish up this season. I pray to god that it will be the same in October when games actually mean something again. I’m cautiously optimistic. Cute.

And other than TO (who we own) and Carolina once, we lost to every other playoff bound team in the east. Teams don’t give a crap about seeding.

Sure. But even at our current pace, we’re not a playoff team.

East teams already clinched. And we lost to them. I’ll read whatever I want.😂 Yay!!!!! 2 to 3 years from now! How exciting! Just as likely to not pan out. Doesn’t move the needle. That would be something.

For all the schadenfreude and ass shining in this thread, I think we need a little perspective. We're the same team, only we aren't playing anyone who has anything to play for. And no matter where Vegas' pick ends up, it ain't helping us make the playoffs next year.

Huge gaps. 70s, knew they were a thing. That was about it. Listened to the Sabres on the radio mostly during the 80s while playing street hockey or shooting against the garage door. Didn't have a tv from around 1988 until 2001, but watched every playoff game of the Hasek era at a friends apartment or bar in NYC. Probably have missed only a handful of games since the 04-05 lockout, though.

I was watching the StL feed the other day and they were talking about what a great trade that was. How it’s okay when both teams get exactly what they need and both “win” the trade.

I think he is that new NHL coach kinda guy, à la John Cooper.

They only jump down to 17th, according to FB followers. https://www.statista.com/statistics/243087/facebook-fans-of-national-hockey-league-teams/ Mitts next year. Hands down. Cozens the year after that.

Who is Radar O'Reilly and what is Hawkeye?

No.

Man,… That release…

YES!!!!

AWESOME!!!!

Great save.

Bjork just opened the floodgates. He's getting a hat trick.

He already is. People really need to watch other teams' broadcasts. There is some trash out there.
