“There” is a playoff team. They look like a playoff team. So, if we make it, we’re “there”. Not “there” until it happens though. But do I think they make it? Yes. Leaving aside the specifics of “there”, do I think we are a good team? I define that as a team that’s going to win more games than they lose. 17 teams did that last year. Yes. The Sabres are a good team now. I’ve seen enough imo to make that call, re: my own estimation

Lol Marek and Elliot absolutely drooling over Tage right now. Elliot: “I don’t know how you stop this guy. Like, like, like Nathan MacKinnon can handle him, uh, I think, but there’s not a lot of guys that can.” Re: relevance to thread - Elliot goes on to say the Sabres remind him of COLORADO in that they are a group of “powerfully built people that can get through anybody”

Except for my friend Adam who’s about to place a sizeable bet with me that the Jets finish above the Sabres

The only thing I’m hearing in media circles these days consistently is that the Sabres have arrived and are for real. They are getting their props and aren’t the team everyone is doubting anymore. There’s the odd apple here and there preaching caution but they are quickly falling by the wayside

Dahlin also, ya know...aged. It was inevitable. Coaches come and go. People being just so darn surprised a 21 year old with massive pedigree got way better during the time period where... players generally get way better is the best and always fun.

Will go and read through the thread after this - - - Unsurprising we were able to take it to the Pens and their tired legs once the third rolled around. Good to see they recognized this and seemed to capitalize on it with relative ease in the third. It did seem inevitable. Dahlin and Thompson will be battling for the points lead all year. Dahlin moves ahead, again, for today. Skinner an interesting challenger for the assist total. Cozens' offensive ceiling might be limited. Thompson's is not. They are empty net fiends definitely Good W overall. Getting to the point where they win the games they should. Very good sign.

Uniforms actually look pretty messy. Not really a fan of the whole jumble. I expect the true 3rds to be amazing though, don’t see how they can mess those up. - - - Pens on a back to back, no reason we can’t come up with a W in this one. Would love to engage in thread during game but as mentioned, that’s not possible for those without the game on tv due to the instant score updates - will prob check in after. Go Sabres, keep on rollin’

Attendance issues at whatever our arena is named now
Thorner replied to #freejame's topic in The Aud Club
Such a good point. I’ve totally felt this - being a fan isn’t just a mindset, it’s also muscle memory. It’’s a relationship. Of course there are rocky times. Personally there have been moments over the last decade, especially over the more recent years of that stretch, where I’ve had to work *really* hard on trying to keep that fire. The loyalty has always, will always be there. I’ll always love them. But the PASSION, of course it’s ebbs. Any relationship. But it also flows. I’m still working on my relationship with this team, as always, but it’s sure getting easier. And soon, through practice and hard work, the muscle memory will return, too. Trust the process. We are allowing that mindset to the team, correct? Why not da fans. -

The Yotes are playing on a renovated table hockey surface. Sabres aren’t going to relocate in your lifetime At the very least not in Bettman’s -
And? I quoted someone else’s post, pointing out that Reinhart commonly starts slow. You, for reasons best known to yourself, quoted my post with stats I can only assume you incorrectly interpreted to mean my point wasn’t correct (and it assuredly was). Another poster who for reasons best known to himself has an issue with me, took the chance to use your misreading of the numbers to call what I said a “narrative”, ridiculously. Far from being a narrative, what I posted was simply the statistical truth. This inability to understand how math works isn’t really my problem. You can’t salvage your initial incorrectness by starting an argument I had no intention of having, sorry. I don’t care if Reinhart’s production in last year’s playoffs, a small sample size to boot, went down. It’s immaterial to what I was saying. Next.

Reinz ketchup bottle drips the runny stuff no one wants over the early games, with the payoff being the substantial flow that cascades over the rest

Reinhart 379 career points in 541 games 39 October points 83 October games 340 non-October points 458 non October games 39 points per 82 in October 61 points per 82 everywhere else Never let math get in the way of another awful post
