Sabres Fan in NS

Canada avoids the Group of Death. In with ... Belgium, Croatia and Morocco. My wife's best friend is from Morocco ... 👀 ... both have said that they plan to cheer for both teams in the group stage. I still may boycott this WC. Qatar is terrible.

Not to be *that guy*, but part of the reason has to be the sort of break in February ... I'll show myself out. Really, though, it's very encouraging that the Sabres are playing well in March and should be in April. The last time that happened was 10 years ago. A decade of ass, indeed. I remember some years that they were eliminated very late in the season. No specific season come to mind and I am too busy to look it up. I think maybe even on the last day.

You know it !!

I finally picked up my new glasses the other day. With COVID still an issue I was delaying the inevitabe and picked them up and paid the balance due ... our insurance plan ... the NSANDMRSNS Plan ... is ***** and we have to pay the premiums and get zero coverage. Anyway, 3 way (😎) progressives. I am slowly getting used to them. The areas for reading and computer screen distance blend and blur a bit, but I should be able to get used to them. The distance part is great. I don't need a strong prescription for that, but have needed the correction for some time and knew it. It is something how much my eyes were straining at distance. $1,000 (ish) bucks later ... Happy Ramadan to me ...

I think he will thank the fans and the Sabres for making him one of the luckiest men ever.

Like all the Sabre alum ... he deserves a cup as much as anyone. Hopefully, the Sabres will get him one in his retirement. Hopefully, the Sabres will get us all one.

Baring unforeseen situations Ramadan will start at sunset today. For those of you unaware Ramadan is my Lent and as part of my fast during the Holy month I fast from all non-work related internet use. I think that I will be around for most of the day today. This year is very special as Easter, Passover and Ramadan are all in the same month. A Blessed Easter, Passover and Ramadan to all my Brothers and Sisters. And for all my Brothers and Sisters that don't celebrate any of those I ask for your blessings and peace as well. Peace / Shalom / Salam

Thanks for getting us started @SwampD. A momentous occasion, indeed. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

*Big Audio* 😎

How dare you speak logically in the hopium thread ... 😉

Without hope all is lost.

So, you're telling us there's a chance, eh !!

@deluca67 500 ... BOOM!!

Different approach by the coaches has lead directly to the development of the younger players. So, coaching is the key to me. Of course, young players have matured along the way. There were two key additions that helped ... Hiney-Stroka and Anderson. The fact that two key players that may have been part of the problem (I don't think Samson was, but he was disgruntled and I don't blame him) are gone had an impact too. Like you suggested ... a bit of everything, but I agree with Liger that the change in coaching is key to the improvement. Of course, the players have complete buy-in.

Yes. And they will.

Okay, my friend ... you're sue.

Do my eyes deceive me or am I seeing some hinting that a loss to the Jets is tolerable since it puts pressure on Vegas. Nonsense !! MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

Thanks, eh !!

Maybe ????? Depends who else is ready to take his place. I think there will be someone, but maybe not. Eaksie is under contract for one more year after this one. No? If he us UFA on July 1 ... then definately no.

If Power becomes Stevens and Dhalin becomes Potvin and Levi becomes Brodeur and if they have a 40 goal winger and a 90 assist centre the Sabres will win a cup.

That suit is straight off the rack. He doesn't need a better tailor ... he needs a tailor. Period.

Against Vegas they did too. Worked to a 2 - 1 lead. Locked Vegas down until the EN goal iced it. The key to the EN goal was Eakin winning a critical faceoff in the D zone.

Awesome!! The crowd makes it look like it's still the '70s in Buffalo.
