Yeah that’s a mistake…again.

Especially not when they've been burned multiple times during that timeframe.

Not gonna lie—I kinda like it

That’s some very ugly defense

The benefits are something that I think should be honed in on in particular. Growing up my dad was a STH and that got me the opportunity to do everything from get autographs from all my favorite players to meeting Hasek to playing bubble hockey with Miro Satan. I got to meet Stu Barnes and hear about how the team called Jay McKee the Cheese Man and get an autograph for my dads best friend saying from one cheese man to another. It’s just not there like that anymore.

You strike me as the kind of guy who tongue punches the dark star. Maybe that’s what this artist is into as well.

Didn’t know where to put this so figured I’d start a thread. I’ve seen some grumblings about attendance last night and earlier this season, and obviously it’s been an issue over the last decade as well. I think something that’s often forgotten (ignored?) is that Sabres attendance early 2000s was also in the absolute gutter (multiple factors besides a bad team). Even in the beginning of the best season in Sabres history, fans weren’t showing up for games. This is a fan base that’s been out through the ringer for years. I think it’s going to take a playoff pace to fill out the arena by maybe January. The Bills being good also certainly doesn’t help. But this isn’t anything new for Buffalo.

Barely…

DM these. Can’t be posting this to the main board.

It was in jest. That’s just a tough break.

I never expected us to make the playoffs this season so yes.

Were you expecting otherwise? Cheaper than going to a home game.

Minus his own goal tonight

It was just okay enough early on for me to waste my time with the whole season. You can skip it, not worth the time. Read the article it’s based on and you’ll be better off.

Asplund shouldn’t be sitting out games unless he’s injured. Nor should Vinny. Donnie has to figure out the rotation and KA needs to make roster moves accordingly.

First goal was a fluke. I thought we had prolonged stretches of dominate hockey but we just couldn’t make it happen. Seems like there’s some disagreement about our play but I think we outplayed them. I know others disagree (the polls say as much) but I would be happy with 84 points this season.

For whatever the reason I often times think back to our first home ice game against the Thrashers when the goalie is pulled. We had a 4-1 lead with fourish minutes left and Atlanta pulled the goalie. Ended up being a 4-3 game but I’ll always remember “***** it lets leave the net empty and see what happens.” It was a joke based on a misspelling. I agree with paragraph two and three. Let’s win some games.

@LGR4GM you laughed at my post and I would like to know why. Almost year in and year out in the NHL we see coaches brought in for rebuilding teams that don’t get them over the hump. Everything this franchise has done signals Peca has a significant role in the future of the organization. Probably won’t be him. Probably should be someone with experience. But don’t act like it’s not something that’s seen every year. None of what I said was a shot at meatballs. It’s a statement on how NHL teams operate.

Granato won’t be the coach to lead us to the promised land. We just need him to get the team to both believe in themselves and have a record that reflects said belief. Someone else is going to take us over the hump (Mike Peca???)

Rob Ray is an ass and it’s embarrassing that he’s employed by the franchise. Right? If we’re going to suck we should at least look forward to drafting Bedard.

We’re going to outplay teams and lose and we’re going to get outplayed and win. Just one of those nights.

I’m 30 and the highlight of many of my days is talking to the cashier at Publix. Sorry.

Lowes gives a veterans discount. I hardly ever use it but it’s the thought (and my fancy parking space that I always use) that counts.

Love me some rounders.

The marvel from BC? Wtf kind of call is that. Now I know why I watch the bad guys broadcast most nights.
