Look Promo, they've invented a new fan category for you because you are so far beyond comparison to anyone else. Never once have you doubted the team in 10 years, you have spared no penny in donations to the team, you've spread the word far and wide and attended 41 games a season, knocking over the beers of fans you've deemed to not be cheering loud enough, and chastising fans on the way out the door who have been disappointed in losses. You are Him. You are THE fan of the Buffalo Sabres. - - - That out of the way: how the heck are people who are watching all these games and following the team through all this muck "bandwagon" fans? Is there an official definition I'm missing where there's a minimum ticket purchase requirement per year? Asking for a friend. If my attendance in Winnipeg for the Sabres games isn't meeting the criteria, I'd have you tell me. And I'm hitting you up for free living accommodations when I come to Buffalo to make up the gap.

The folks on this message board are the 99 billionth percentile for passionate fans. Imagine posting 27k times on a message board for a hockey team during a historically bad stretch of hockey, worldwide. Absolute madness. Anyone posting here over this stretch regularly deserves a thank you card from the team once the team is good. That's not a joke. They should actually do it.

Exactly. 3 months of "winning" after more than a decade of awfulness. A cheerio life-preserver to a drowning man. Give it time. If we make the playoffs, the crowds will be electric. We don't need to "win games", we don't need to "win playoff rounds". The narrative of this hockey team begins, and ends, right now with one word: Playoffs. That's the lead - no playoffs in 11 years. Making the playoffs is the tipping point for a turn around. In terms of the GM having done a good job, in terms of the fans being fully on board again...that's the bar. Truly believe that.

Sabres sit tied for the final wild card spot in the east currently (ya, I look already) Gotta get the dub after dropping the last 2 - - - Dahlin enters into the game leading the team in points w/9 Tuch Leads in goals w/6 Hinostroza the high water mark in apples w/5 The starter, Craig Anderson, comes in topping Comrie in GAA at 1.00 (3.41, in sv% .970 (.909) and in record at 2-0 (2-3) - - - Samuelsson (5gp) and Fitzgerald (4gp) remain the only Sabres to not log points yet this season

Big derp on Asplund being out again Go team!

Matty Mo actually went on to produce 190 points over 236 AHL games over 5 seasons after playing his final game w/Buffalo Still had it

Matty Mo got old and slower than slow. He went to the AHL at one point and produced. He just couldn’t keep up with the speed of the NHL - that isn’t going to happen to Tage.

Must not have wanted to be here lol

Asplund out again, after a loss? Minor injury? Non-negligibly better than the other folks being rotated, in Granato’s estimation? ...development year? Read too much into today’s lines and discuss.

Ask Wishbone!

Thread title: plus-1

I think 4-3 through the first 7 games is certainly good enough for a time period in which Tage Thompson, our 1C, has 3 points. Should he regain form, I think we'll be ok. If he doesn't regain form, our record in these games doesn't matter anyways as we won't have a shot at anything close to playoffs. I'm pretty sure his production rate will increase.

There was a game earlier this year where the pull was late too. I guess it was the Florida game

ftfy

Comrie was good Cozens too Not having a scoring 2C behind Thompson can make it tough on him sometimes, and on our top 6 to produce enough offence sometimes. Cozens is getting there and could end up in that role. Dahlin looked good Power kinda had an up and down game I thought, to be expected. We didn't give up THAT many shots 4-3 is pretty good. I continue to think our record is representative, as it goes along.

Power with the unintentional screen on Comrie on the goal

and a few he shouldn't ah nuts

Comrie making the saves he should

Stream is in the future

KO has been buzzing

Dahlin is good and playing good. He'll set one up.

Excellent deflection from KO
