I have 99.99% confidence they will win tonight. But just in case, I picked up 2 more tickets for Sundays game. Lets Go Amerks!!!

To your point, I remember hearing last year that 2022 was suppose to be a pretty good draft.

This is the draft guru I was waiting to hear from. Assuming we pick 9 and 16, what does the draft look like in the middle of the first this year? Avg. draft? Good/poor depth?

I’ll be there to closer out on Friday boys. Let’s Go Amerks!!

Just bought my tickets for Friday! Taking my wife and boys. Sitting in the end Roch shoots twice and we will all be rocking our Sabres jerseys!!

Wow they actually made it?!?! We live maybe 20 min outside Belleville. I haven’t been to a game yet but if the Americans end up playing there round 1 I may have to get some tickets.

But but but…..what about Rossi?

This is a pissing on Eichel thread. To anyone who does not abide by the above

Agreed. As a Sabres fan living in Ontario I would so much rather go to Buffalo. I’ve rarely had any long delays or issues at fort erie bridge crossing. Queenston / Lewiston is a nightmare and I haven’t had much luck the few times I’ve crossed at the rainbow bridge either. I love the fact we can cross the border at fort Erie and it’s literally a 7 minute drive to the downtown/hotels/arena from the border.

Hey! Your forgetting about the beer shelf installed at the urinals!!!

What’s pathetic is how this organization can come this close to ruining one of the best hockey markets in the league. The Sabres have literally a historic record now of missing the playoffs and you want to blame the fans? This avg is from the entire season especially the first few months when they were icing on paper one of the worst teams ever and a league low payroll. Now that the team is finding itself I’ve already noticed the place looks more full on tv. Personally, I’m hoping covid continues to become a thing of the past and I can easily cross the border and take my family to the usual 3-5 games per year. Winning is what will bring fans back and that’s on the Sabres. Luckily it looks like they’re finally on the right track….

Just another example of why organizations should always draft bpa. Nobody knows where the organization will be in 3-5 years when they’re ready to make the team.

Yep. He is a legitimate number one centre. I thought we were getting a nice scoring winger with a wicked shot. But watch his all around game. His ability to stick handle and retrieve pucks in tight spaces along the boards has been excellent. I haven’t noticed him being a complete liability in the defensive zone either. A C spine potential of Thompson on top line and Krebs? Mitts?, Cozens taking two of the next three slots could work out. As Liger says, adding JJ and Quinn at the wings next year should also really help those C. I’ve been fooled before but I love the new looking core. That’s all just forwards too. Power, Dahlin, Mule and Joker on D? I’m excited for next year already. Add a legit goalie this off-season and LFG!

Did anyone else read the thread title and immediately think ‘Was it the Russians?’

I’m very excited about what I’ve heard from our Roch fans. JJ numbers really are pretty unbelievable, especially considering it’s his first year in NA as has been pointed out. Will be fun watching the development of so many of these young guys and I have JJ near the top of that list.

So many times this type of thing happens. Player goes back and team still doesn’t win it the next year…..

What value does he possibly have? He’s a Ufa after college next summer correct? If we’re freaking out because we don’t really have much control over his rights then I don’t see much value in owning his rights via trade.

Sabres then worlds for power?

I'm lost. I must have missed a thread somewhere that explains the back story to this....

The ol conditional 7th rounder.

Owen Power will be fine

Can we just re-sign him please? He's a perfect bottom 6 imo.

That second line

I tossed a couple $ on the boys today.
