Thwomp!

As part of celebrating 50 years! 🤣 Can't make this stuff up. Thanks for the great thread. Inspired me to post for the first time in awhile. I wear it with pride. Was especially handy for the @Columbus game early this year that was a harbinger of things to come. Wow did the Sabres look bad. Plus side was that the tickets for the defacto Jackets home opener (first home game was the Gaudreau memorial) were $30 for 100s. Also got to hear the cannon boom several times.

I don't remember what year it was, but "misspelled alumni jerseys" has a nice ring to it. There is an overabundance of material unfortunately.

Get bent, Randy. You're amongst the last people that I would take advice from on "intelligent and tolerable" online discussions.

Dude, you're always wrong.

13 seconds was a fireable offense on it's own, and it's been trending downhill since then. There's some big contracts that aren't looking so good right now. The whole thing really screams for a rebuild-on-the-fly with a coach who can get it done, but we're gonna settle for "almost". Again.

We're wasting Josh Allen. That's the worst part.

Ban me if McClappy wins a Superbowl with the Bills. I don't care, but I feel pretty safe in betting that he won't.

I would love a championship.

Buffalo Sabres/Bills: Always happy with "almost". In fact, it's rewarded. Bills: 13 seconds, last year's debacle, team chemistry going downhill, poor drafts, over paying "your" guys to the detriment of the team. Yep, sounds like extension time!

These guys needed a hot seat. Not a fan of giving them more security at this point.

The expansion rules are fine. The Sabres have had 50+ years to win a championship, and haven't really been trying for most of the last decade, so of course teams are going to win before we do. The problem is internal, not external, but I know the kool aid is flowing free around here.

Surprised the NHL hasn't tried to force this on us.

Both the NBA and NHL playoffs show why you go all out just to make the playoffs. Anything can happen. Hope Sabres brass is paying attention. Both leagues' overall #1 seeds out in the first round and some other big upsets as well.

I'm not so sure this revelation is a positive development. Changes are needed. Of course the players don't want change.
