I am such a sucker for music when it grabs my attention. https://youtu.be/YD60plyvsYo

I wonder if this is a harbinger of better days ahead for the team.

Just like the Buffalo Bills in The Music Man?

LYNYRD!

One of his teammates died a few months ago: Clark Gillies.

You forgot low sperm count/impotency.

If anything, we don’t have to worry about losing our barn. They do.

Humor helps to keep me going sometimes, especially with the zeitgeist we have. Not to be political, but I can’t forget about the impact the “Trudeau Eulogies” had back in 2016 - and how I could still use them in my dark and twisted humor towards certain notable people.

And some of us on here make more than 70k a year. That kind of change won’t buy much. Maybe a couple of steps above a Yugo.

As I said in a different thread recently, the pundits wrote us off again and said that we’d finish dead last in our division. Go pound sand and go eat crow, you imbeciles!

That’s what you get for betting against the “underdog”: https://www.oddschecker.com/us/picks-parlays/hockey/nhl/20220405-nhl-tuesdays-best-bets-boston-bruins-vs-detroit-red-wings-and-hurricanes-vs-sabers

If we keep this level of play up into next year, we are going to be dangerous.

Forget Jack! He has about as much respect with Sabres fans as Slava Kozlov: NONE.

I hope to be proven wrong, but I just don’t see them getting in for the upcoming postseason. Too many games have been going past regulation lately. Sure, we have walked away with at least a point in recent games, but I think a lot of us would prefer regulation wins (and not let the other teams pick up that extra point).

I’m descended from the Ross clan of Scotland (even though that’s not my surname). Their motto is “Success Nourishes Hope”.

No one will dispute this. Furthermore, Donny and his siblings were raised on hockey.

A lot of pundits were saying that the Sabres were going to finish last in the division before the season started. Then again, some of them also said with certainty that the Pens were going to miss the playoffs as well. There’s no bread. Let them eat crow!

I really can’t pick a single answer. Too many people to quote on here since I’m in agreement with much of what’s been said. Lynyrd seems to enjoy playing hockey again.

Some of us remember when the Sabres would blow leads. But for the Hawks to blow it on their own ice at our hands? Bad for them, but good for us.

I’m with you on that. This month has been a good run, but there will come a point when they run out of gas.

Before the Sens-Preds game started in Nashville tonight, the PA announcer called for a moment of silence in memory of the guy. (Hopefully I got that one in before the thread went off the rails even further.)

How much longer do we have Lynyrd (Skinner) under contract?

And yet, I‘ve been seeing a pattern for years when it comes to sports: if you can’t make it in Buffalo, you can’t make it anywhere else. Unless there’s something I’m missing, our beloved city has become a coaches’ and GMs’ graveyard. There have been very few exceptions to this, such as Scotty Bowman. Possibly Bobby Hurley with the work he did at UB men’s basketball. I guess if your résumé includes a legendary and storied franchise, you get a pass. If not, then your career is over, and the only job you’ll get is coaching youth hockey or youth football. (Yes, I’m being facetious with the last sentence, but there may be a kernel of truth in it as well.) Seems to me that @SDS’s meme about Jack Eichel the other day with the listing ship could also apply to said Ken Holland. Yes? No? Maybe? It’s hard to bring oneself to fire a legend. Success on the ice/court/field doesn’t always translate to coaching/FO success. We’ve seen much of the opposite as of late. Wayne Gretzky, Mike Singletary, and Michael Jordan - to name a few. And…when is your 50th high school reunion? Was it last year? 5 years ago? Ten?

Phil Robertson and his family have been hunting them down, haven’t they?

Still over 30 minutes left of hockey to play.
