Sabres Fan in NS

There is no way the game should have been close. That said, gut check win with an exciting goal line last stand. If the Giants had 5 more seconds ... yikes !! Something was off with Josh last night. The game plan was not the usual game plan.

Yes. I don't care about or understand the hole in the ozone style images that are posted, but VO stinks.

They do not always miss the playoffs - 12 years is not always. All of those years due to the short sightedness of management as to the very risky results of deciding to ________ for what's his name. Last year they missed by 1 game. That is pretty fine compared to the recent past. The Sabres will be right there again this season. I believe they will make it inspite of losing their first 2 games.

What in the blazes is that ?? A mini pineapple ??

He will stay with the team, unless something drastically changes. Him being in the lineup makes the chances of them winning better. That's the bottom line.

Who is this guy? He seems familiar.

Is that his daughter ??

Wasn't the draft age 19 until about 1980 ??

Partial solar eclipse today. Be careful !!

Welcome !! Awesome first post.

What was he doing there? EDIT: Looked it up. Terrible.

GAME ON !! MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! I have no feelings for the Islanders. They are not on the same scale as the dastardly duo. The Sabres have to be able to win games against the Islanders - a pretty good team that will likely be challenging for playoff spots with the likes of the Sabres, Senators and Red Wings.

It's Friday !! That's all and it's fantastic.

What? I expect to be judged on my behavior. That's the way society works.

No. And nothing.

That's true, but I was also taught that it's when you are over hyped for a certain game that it traps the players into over thinking and not just playing their game. Whatever you want to call it .. the Sabres (every one of them, including the coaches) were playing pentatively and over thinking everything.

The whole team was like that. I posted that this was a trap game due to it.

Levi. 100% sure that I would start him.

I was not making excuses. I agree they did not play well against a better team (at least the Rangers played better). All I am saying is I was not surprised and I expected a let down.

Welcome !! Have you been a Sabre fan for a long time? This is often how they start out. The Sabres will be fine. Enjoy the season.

Welcome !! We are neighbours. Where are you in NB? How did you come to follow the Sabres? In NS many are fans of the Leaves from The Great Satan. Some are Penguin fans because of Crosby and some are Avalanche fans due to MacKinnon. Many are Bruin fans due to the long history between Bastaan and Halifax. Others (mostly his family) love the Bruins because of that rat fink Marchand. There are very few Sabre fans in Atlantic Canada.

All the hype of a highly anticipated season. The players just aren't relaxed and don't seem to be able to play their game.

What a mess. What in the blazes were these two thinking? Careers ruined - check. Family ruined - check (at least for him if it's true that he is married). I will not blame the Pegula's for this show of lack of character in these two. Even if Mr. Pegula has a last interview / meeting before anyone is hired that is likely the rubber stamp on a hiring. There were many layers of HR and a process in this hiring. If anything it shows a lack of something (not sure exactly what) lacking in that whole process. Down the ages since Mr. Pegula bought the team he has trusted his advisors. Unfortunately, that advice has often been bad if not very bad. All that said, these things happen. There probably is not a notation in the employee guide about not getting involved with fellow employees. Maybe there should be, but that is not likely to help prevent such things happening.

Missed this one. Game 1. Home opener of a highly anticipated season. RJ memorial. Playing a very good team that is well coached. Often a 'trap game'. It was. I almost expecting a bit of a let down and that the Sabres would look flat. All in all a good experience and they will be ready tomorrow. All those same preasures will be on the Islanders. The Sabres will be fine. Finer than fine.
