I do. Let’s Go Buffalo. clap, clap, clap-clap-clap.

Marty St Louis has done a nice job there. He started with very little.

He is starting his playoff beard now.

man the negativity surrounding this team is high. Even some normally positive fans here are getting surly. Look at the two teams rosters, the coaches, and the culture difference between these teams. I’m setting realistic expectations in an effort to make it through the season.

Well 3-1 after two, it’s going to be tough. Let’s see what they are made off.

Not really. Among the scoring defenseman Norris candidates he plays a very strong defensive game. He screwed up. It happens to all of them.

Tage has only 5 goals less than MacKinnon over the past 3 season. If only the idiot Adams can get him a playmaking line mate. But MacKinnon has way more playmaking assists, a solid two way defensive game, built like a truck, and insane speed. He is at McDavids level and better in some ways.

I remember when Gilbert did stuff like that. McKinnon is freaking awesome.

Dumb call Stripes.

More minute for 78.

Are the Sabres players reading Sabrespace?

Ugh. Bad turnover and a goal.

Dunne in for Gertie is helping.

Pretty poor journalism, pretty odd way to look at things, but that seems to be the norm today. Kick the dog that is down. The team being on a short leash with Dahlin and Tage - it should be the other way around. The two best players should elevate the team and help make the other players better. I get that Adams sucks at building the team and the best players are not supported enough, but that is the exact opposite of what I learned playing sports.

I call that a good first period. Keep it going.

Fiberglass sticks. My old Northland or CCM would have survived that.

good to see Tage convert. Ray just said “the more guys that score is better for everybody”.

Colorado is loaded with great players. Here comes their power play next. Then he purposely bumped our goalie.

The Sabres are playing pretty good so far. I just want 60 minutes of hard effort, that’s a start. This team needs to realize they have to earn the right to win. (Ok, I stole that from McDermott). Says a lot about the top 6 right now.

We had one and somehow it still wasn’t that nice. Eichel is a beast right now and that neck surgery was the right move for him.

damm McKinnon is fast and strong.

The Sabres are not a thing when the Bills are playing.

I do. Taro, ROR smashed into a Tim Horton's in July 2015, before he ever wore the Sabres jersey in a game. He played for the Sabres for three season and was traded in 2018 after his "lost his love for the game" speech at locker cleanout. The episode with smashing the truck was long over, he was very luckily acquitted of the charges in July 2016 when the only witness was unable to identify him. He publicly apologized and thanked the Sabres for supporting him. It should have ended there and if ROR had more problem the team should have been helping him. Maybe Terry was still have been upset about the drunk driving, but he was also upset about what ROR said and insiders say he did not want to pay the bonus that was due. I expect that Terry knows that hockey players and football players are not choir boys, drug and alcohol abuse is a problem for many athletes and for many reasons. He has to be aware of this.

They actually played hard for Donny for about two years and showed some improvement. Adams failed to address obvious goaltending issues, the need for veteran leadership and toughness, and the overall roster depth. That would have taken a few smart trades, parting with prospects, and spending closer to cap. It all fell apart on itself. Probably why no other teams employ the develop solely from within and "no blockers" strategy??? We are now seeing the longer term effect. The youth is regressing, and starting to want out. Lindy can complain about the level of compete but other than a handful of players he is not being heard. Game 3 - maybe they will surprise us and start playing to their potential. Maybe something eventually clicks? I doubt it but maybe.

First - Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all of our Sabres fans in Canada. This afternoons matinee is to get more kids in the crowd but since many schools do not observe Columbus Day/Indigenous People Day that may not be the best planning. The good thing is that the Sabres wont interfere with me watching the Bills on MNF tonight. As for this team - they need to play 60 minutes if hockey and support the rookie in net. The western conference teams travel a lot of miles and they strive to get a win on their first stop of a road trip. Buffalo better be ready to play. I don't care about injuries, a win today is mandatory.
