We deserve a lot more. We are die hards. See no goal.

No interference.

Whoa! Malley.

Nice to see Peterka get 20. Keep it going kid.

McLeod usually dies make a mistake. Bad break. Stuff happens.

Great shift by Dahlin.

Awkward anthem rendition tonight.

Looking forward to it. Still love to watch the games. Thinking of some Greek food tonight before the late start?

This proved my point even more. Bandits play 9 home games, average ticket price is $50. Plenty of $11-25 tickets.

The Buffalo-Niagara Falls metro area population was ~1.35M in 1970 and it is ~1.17M today. This does not include Southern Ontario which is Canada's most densely populated area and has had significant population growth since 1970. So the population of the potential fan base today, if allowed to count just a small portion of Southern Ontario, is about the same now as it was in 1970. The big reasons for Buffalo gaining a franchise was that the market was hot for hockey and the likelihood for success was thought to be high, and the ownership was considered strong. When Buffalo was passed over for league expansion in 1967, the Knox brothers tried to purchase the Oakland Seals two years later with the intent on moving that team to Buffalo. The 1970 population was not the defining reason. In fact, the Sabres had to compete with the NBA expansion Buffalo Braves in 1970, something they do not have to do today.

Ahh, no blockers huh. That approqch did not work, all it does is keep you the youngest team in the league and a losing team on top of it. We could never play all the forwards that we drafted on the same team, so trading picks/prospects was a viable option that Adams did not do (ok, just once with Savoie for McLeod). If you wait too long the prospects could lose value. Kulich looks like he is an NHL player. He will stick around and if not he will have trade value. Tyson Kozak looks like a potential 4th liner. Rosen has not been given much ice in the few appearances he has had under Ruff, which is puzzling, so I do not know what to think of him. Murray and Rousek are looking like AHL players only. There is no need to call up Helenius or Östlund yet. They are very young, doing fine, and have a ways to go.

I just accurately answered his question.

Then drop them. Who cares, all GMs make mistakes and they move on from them all the time. He can move Eichel and Reinhart and that's ok? The goal should be to ice the best NHL roster you can every year.

True. Just two years ago. The New Jersey Devils' best season EVER was under Lindy Ruff in 2022-23 , they achieved a franchise-record 112 points with a 52-22-8 record.

Because Kulich/Rosen/Quinn will get dominated by good teams 4th line, especially on defensive zone draws, and they would be vulnerable on the road were the home team gets the last line change. Instead of using the NHL team for player development, lets have a real "shut down line" that actually does shut the opponent down, and actually helps the team win games instead for blowing leads in the 3rd period. That starts at center. Lets improve the center spline, and then we can build the lines out.

Made the mistake of watching the morning news. This song was written 55 years ago, seems like not much has changed.

All of the fast food whoa’s that I have come from growing up in Buffalo. Back in the day there were plenty of family run locally owned places for burgers, dogs, pizza, subs, wings, etc. Italian and Greek places , bars and Taverns, … Taco Bell failed its first time entering the Buffalo market.

I went to Jerseys Mikes …. Once. Got an Italian combo sub of some kind. All the meat looked like bologna, it was cheap, tasteless, and pretty much terrible. One and done for Jersey Mike.

Never had an LSD phase thankfully. Iridescent deli meat and the Sabres, what a combo. Interesting to know this is common but it doesn't change a thing for me. I get deli roast beef from an high quality Italian meat market in town and I don't see the rainbows colors. Maybe his slicer is less sharp as the article suggests. He slices it a bit thicker than the garbage they sell at Arby's too. I tossed that Arby's green and blue meat in the trash, never again to set foot in one. I will stand by that decision.

Clifton often plays with that 4th line so that does not help him. He adds a physical presence and he helps on the PK, we need more of both, not less. Not saying he is a great player but Spence and Rob Johnson is not an upgraded 3rd pair. Maybe this Spence is better than I think but he looks like another Bryson to me, which means he is a bad match for Johnson.

As a rule I do not eat any fast food. The last time I ate at Arby's, must have been the 90's, the "meat" had rainbow colors in it, like light purples and pinks and light blues. It was disgusting. Fast food is not for me, no, no, no.

JBD is jumping to a top pair defenseman from a 7? Spence for Quinn? Spence is small, how does he help toughen up the backline, especially playing with Johnson? I prefer Clifton.

I just don't see a housecleaning, I think Adams and Ruff will play out their contracts in a prove it year. I want to start winning more games and to continue to play like a real hockey team. The lure of a top 4 pick is there but I have had enough of that, if it happens it happens.
