It's really. really hard to be this bad as a team when you have 2 elite players in Dahlin and Thompson and a very,very good all-around player who puts up 35 goals like Tuch. Really, almost impossible, I would say it's a statistical improbability that the Sabres continue to figure out ways to do it.
Tuch set a new NHL record for blocked shots(113) among forwards since the stat was kept starting in the 2005-2006 season
Tage Thompson became the first Sabre to ever lead the NHL in even strength goals in a season with 37.
Yeah that's pretty crazy to think of.
imagine two teams in the same city where 1 team has the 2nd longest playoff missing streak in league history(the Bills at 17 years) and the other has shattered the previous record by 4 years and counting at 14 years(Sabres - previous record was 10) with both periods overlapping.
Ryan Fitzpatrick was the Bills starting QB and we had Stevie Johnson, Lee Evans, CJ Spiller, Roscoe Parrish, Fred Jackson, Donte Whitner, Chris Kelsay, Jairus Byrd and Paul Posluszny on the team with Chan Gailey as coach.
when you post an .872 save percentage and a 4.12 GAA I would hope that's all he got. You need to earn your playing time when you are coming up from the AHL and you didn't perform well the season before. He performed worse. Much worse.
You only get to make lasting memories with your kids for a short time. Don't ever choose not to do something you feel you might regret later in life when you had a chance to give her that.
OK, how bout I say they have been to multiple Cup Finals then? 😂
Yikes...have been to 7 Cup Finals since then but only 1 win...probably the worst performing Boston team out of the 4 sports teams...which is crazy to think about.
