I have a problem with the schedule. It’s hard to develop a rivalry with a divisional opponent when you only play them 4 times in an 82 game season. Why can’t the rotate the western conference opponents very year? Would save on travel costs and beef up the intensity in divisional games.

I posted something recently about him…it pains me to see him win when he had greater expectations of Buffalo than Buffalo did of him (shockingly). He gets to enjoy tonight. We’ll see if it has changed him. I wish him no ill will but I look forward to the Sabres meeting him in the future.

I’ve really struggled with FL vs LV because of Eichel vs Reinhardt but I think Eichel is the antichrist in terms of Sabres hockey. I would prefer Florida win this thing but there would be some poetic Justice if we see LV in the finals and woop them with Jacky boy as their leader.

I was there tonight!

As you know, Whelihans has a bunch of locations so it is a fallback for me when traveling in the area… I agree not the same. We were in Buffalo for the Green Bay game this year and went to my favorite place… can anyone tell me where this is?

I live in south jersey…a couple of decent places over here…Jay’s Elbow Room, Jug Handle Inn and PJ Whelihand’s. If you haven’t been over all are worth a try

At least Ottawa is an up and comer…Philly and Columbus we should have just taken care if business.

Regrettable losses: columbus philly (twice!)

I was going to point this out as well…sad for knight and his family. I wonder how much the panthers knew of this situation they traded Devon

Right?! Most people I know in Philly jokingly say “isn’t Buffalo a part of Canada?” I can’t wait until we start winning some things…not gonna rub it in anyone’s face but these types of comments will sting a little less

Buffalo seemed to be the only team/city to take a chance on this in 2008…I know that every team is bidding on this every year. Boston for some reason has been allowed to host it twice already. Maybe by the time the new stadium is built we can get back on the schedule? I’d love to see the Ralph get it one more time before it goes away

I think part of LB’s point is that those hits are missing too…at least from the Sabres game

Like every thread doesn’t go off topic at some point…

When you break it down this way, I can remember the mystique of playing Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver in the mid 80’s. I remember when Darren Puppa got the call and I think it was his first appearance with the Sabres and he shut out the oilers 2-0 maybe. I thought that was so cool.

I thought about no goal too. That was painful
