You must have been in the same section as me. Guy was a tool and I'm glad him and a bunch of people from his group were taken out by security. I think they were allowed to return but periodically throughout the game security would call out more people from his group. I just want to throw out there that there are many other Canadian Sabres fans at the game being very respectful and I was happy the Sabres had the moment of silence. Additionally, I always give a standing O when they announce the war veterans at the game. I hope you won't judge all Canadians at Sabres games based on a couple of these yahoos. Another strange thing is they were chanting Go Leafs Go for a bit. Then there was this other guy a few rows over who didn't seem to be with them stand up, take off his jacket and he's wearing a Leafs Suck Tshirt and he starts chanting leafs suck. Never thought I would hear both a go leafs go and leafs suck chant at a Sabres / Lightening game.....

I will also be at Pearl Street before the game. Buffet on the third floor I hear.

I'll be up in the 300's with my wife and son. Really looking forward to it!! Although I'm not sure I'm looking forward to the game nearly as much as this ceremony and the beer and wings involved with any trip to Buffalo.

Although I agree with this, by helping the Amerks make the playoffs it will give some of our young guys some playoff experience which in turn will help the Sabres down the road. I think it's very important for guys like Risto and Pysyk to play in the AHL playoffs and there's a good chance Grigo's junior team will be eliminated soon and he can get some AHL playoff hockey in this season too. I would be totally fine with the Sabres going with Hackett and Markov or someone on the big club and sending back Risto.

I agree with this. Basically the kid was identified as a superstar very early in his career and to have him reach the NHL as a potential first overall pick that does tell you something. I want Buffalo to go forward but I'm also not buying this talk that he's only dominating the OHL because he's physically larger than the majority of the players. The kid has an unbelievable shot that has nothing to do with his size.

Don't do it man. Not worth it.

As someone living in the GTA I really hope the Bills stay in Buffalo. I love going up to Orchard Park for the games. Having said that, here is an interesting article from the Star today. http://www.thestar.com/sports/football/2014/03/25/ralph_wilsons_death_opens_door_ever_so_slightly_for_nfl_in_toronto_kelly.html

He was. Connor McDavid was also granted exceptional status and at 15 put up 66 points in 63 OHL games. Not saying Day won't be good, just saying there is no generational player in the 2016 draft as there is in next years draft.

Hahahah, I realize you're being facetious but very early on whispers are Sean Day, a Dman for Mississauga. After watching the series against the Gens he has had some real poor lapses that have led to Gens goals. There is no other Connor McDavid for the forseable future and the Tank ends in mid April 2015.

I certainly want a forward to be drafted but I don't agree that Ekblad is not needed on this team. We're in last place, by a lot. Yes our D pipeline looks stronger than our O so I would much rather a forward. Maybe you just meant you would prefer a forward to D because this team is not so deep on the back end that we don't need him. Also, I think we're tanking next year regardless. In fact, I think Bennett would benefit much more from another year of junior than Ekblad. I think Ekblad is likely the most NHL ready prospect in the draft so by taking a forward with our pick it almost moreso signals the continued tank (which I think will happen regardless of who is selected).

You vomit when you're angry?? Dal Colle with another brilliant evening last night scoring twice in Oshawa's double ot win. He also had a beauty shot in the second overtime which I thought was going to end it but he got absolutely robbed. If we get the Isles pick this year I would have no problem at all taking this kid. He looks like a man amoungst boys out there. Scott Laughton is a great Philly prospect but Dal Colle has played way better than him in the three playoff games thus far. Missy is not a great team but Dal Colle has 4 goals and 4 assists in the first three games.

I have a feeling we win the lottery. The league hates the Sabres so there's no chance we win it next year. So to make it look not too obvious we win it this year in a much lesser draft. Then if anyone says anything the league can say look, the Sabres picked 1st in 2014.

RIP

Good question, I'm not sure but thinking it was around then.

Sabres did pretty well in 2003 but that was one of the deepest drafts in NHL history. That was the year Nashville got Suter and Weber (they also got Klein who has been pretty good).

And ofcourse dal colle snipes a beauty pp goal! Dal colle with another. Gens up 5 0 and dal colle has 2 goals and 3 assists, he's playing way better the second and third so far. I want him to be a buffalo sabre.

Update from the gens game. Dal colle looks very sloppy along with the rest of the team but oshawa leads 1 0. I hope dal colle shows me more this period.

That beats the Gens record of 42 - 20 - 0 - 6 (90 points) - Good for 1st in the East But we did lock up the east with like two weeks to play so they kind of coasted down the stretch. Good luck to the Mooseheads, maybe we will see you in the Memorial Cup! I've got my tickets to Game 1 tonight!

I've got tix to see the Gens open their playoffs against Mississauga tonight. I'll report on how Dal Colle looks in the playoffs. If the Isles give us their pick this year he is a guy that may be available.

Maybe I wasn't clear but you are right, that's what I mean.

That would be awesome! That's why I really want the blues to make it to the conference finals so we get the first but then miller doesn't sign there. It is very unlikely they end up in a lottery position but the odds slightly increase if miller signs elsewhere.

Welcome back man. Honestly, in a sick way I've enjoyed this season more then the last couple. I would much rather they win but the off ice stuff an trades have really kept me going. Plus I was so pissed last year when they screwed up the tank by going 8 and 4 to end the season. It's not so stressful cheering for the tank this year.

Sorry man but it is nuts. Nobody is trading out of taking Connor mcdavid. Nobody.

My wife always says that atleast nobody can say you jumped on the bandwagon when they get good again. I remember someone whom I barely knew say that to me in 2005 and my head almost exploded.

Dal Colle had better get sent back.....
