Flyers played much much better. And Elliott was great! Sabres didn’t have an answer to break it open. They didn’t suck tonight. The results do obviously.

Yea, good for Casey! Awesome.

Ok, I’ll say it ... Boy, I hope KO is gonna be ok. Does anyone know the exact injury?

Asplund looking good. Not a weakness on that line.

Yes. If you had elevated unrealistic high expectations of a rookie… then he’s probably not doing well for you. if you had realistic basic expectations of a rookie ... he’s fine. He doesn’t look out of place. He’s not making terrible mistakes all over the ice. And he’s showing flashes of talent several times a game.

Tonight ...: yes. It’s who “we” are.

The Ryan Miller shutout.... nice 👍🏼

Haha did they? I just saw a player pick it off the ice with their stick.

When in doubt, wait to hear it from a secondary or third credible (key word) source before believing or wondering about if it’s true. Just a thought.

It’s incredible how some fans want to stay so ignorant of facts when they continue to believe Eichel makes Reinhart better, but there’s no way Reinhart does the same for Eichel and has done it for years now.

Still being optimistic ... Sabres 4 Flyers 2 Reinhart, Skinner, or Risto with a goal

Is anybody else using that night mode? The OP is barely readable. Dark blue with black print… Yikes. I skipped right over it 😂

Agree. Unfortunately, enough sports fans eat up any sports radio as long as the home town team is discussed. And they start to think the talent on the station is legit. I don’t get it but some fans actually think Schoop and Bulldog are talented, informative, and smart talk show hosts. It’s stunning. But if you aren’t exposing yourself to legit national talent that don’t talk about your precious local team all day, you tend to not have the ability to do a comparison. So the local radio hosts stay secure in their jobs.

The regulars will continue to deny it. There’s nothing you can prove, show, or say that will alter their minds. It’s a lost cause. It’s been for years.

IMO ... Putting any stock in Borgen being so physical that it will affect (positively) another team from being as physical because big bad Borgen is on the ice ... is a bit premature. Just a touch. And at the NHL level, it may take him 2-3 years before he starts to throw meaningful hits aka “Wilson style”. Not to mention at the NHL level, he may never get anywhere near “Wilson level” of physicality. Let alone the super rare occasion of a fight.

Niiiice screen by Sam Good shot Risto

No obnoxious boo birds in the arena tonight. That’s a plus 😂

One game in. Not in the least concerned, worried, or mentally bridge jumping. I’ll leave that stress and drama to others 😂 Get back at it today. Make adjustments, push back and win it tonight. 😡 Let’s go Buffalo! 4-2 Sabres

I just went alphabetically and did a handful of teams here to compare Buffalo at 8% hit rate with a few other teams. Anaheim Ducks 3rd round picks (2008-2017) that played 100 or more NHL games. 12 players total. 2 players have played 100 or more games. 16% hit rate. Arizona Coyotes 3rd round picks (2008-2017) that played 100 or more NHL games. 15 players total. 1 player has played 100 or more games. 6% hit rate Boston Bruins 3rd round picks (2008-2017) that played 100 or more NHL games. 6 players total. 2 players have played 100 or more games. 33% hit rate Calgary Flames 3rd round picks (2008-2017) that played 100 or more NHL games. 8 players total 1 player has played 100 or more games. 12% hit rate Carolina Hurricanes 3rd round picks (2008-2017) that played 100 or more NHL games. 12 players total 2 players have played 100 or more games. 16% hit rate Chicago Blackhawks 3rd round picks (2008-2017) that played 100 or more NHL games. 13 players total 3 players have played 100 or more games. 23% hit rate Colorado Avalanche 3rd round picks (2008-2017) that played 100 or more NHL games. 7 players total 2 players have played 100 or more games. 14% hit rate Yea, Buffalo needs to start hitting on the 3rd rounders just a little more. Even if it’s 1 out of every 6 picks.

Considering it’s the first game, Which one are you?

Looking at that Hall goal again. Reinhart was smart and patient. It made all the difference there.

Not a terrible period after being off from real competitive hockey for 8 months. something to build on ...

My source told me he’s a really cool dr. Good personality.

First time out of the gate. Not terrible. I bet they tighten it up a little next game or two.
