Sorry Mrs Anderson, my choice of words did not meet your approval. He was pretty good. Better?

I know the AHL can be a rough and tumble league. Where is that play coming from on the Amerks…especially on the blueline?

Good - 1st game I watched start to finish in over a year…and they won! - I thought Cozens was the best forward on the Sabres. He has really good wheels for a big man. - Gramps did okay out there. Still wouldn’t count on him for more than 20-25 games. Bad - With 2-3 min to go, I saw Bryson and Power(separate shifts) get caught up ice with Ottawa heading the other way. There is a time and a place for aggressive play, and that wasn’t it. Coaches need to fix this. Dreams of Freestyle Montour were going through my head. - Skinner on the PP…not sure it is a good idea. He is a giveaway machine at times. Ugly - Virtual board advertising changing while play is going on. Very annoying. Not as bad as screen shrinking ads from a year or two ago, but still 👎🏻 .

I love Fishin' In The Dark! Great catchy country tune. Actually, as long as I never have to hear Hear We Go Now... ever again, I am happy. Too bad, one of the players don't have this as their song, or the Sabres adopt it as part of every game(this is my annual mention)...

I've been very critical of the organizations treatment of the fans over the last decade(concession prices, arena experience, promotions such as this, etc...), but I will give credit where credit is due...this flag is a pretty cool giveaway.

I didn't watch many games last season, and don't think I watched any from start to finish. New season. Lot of optimism among the members here. I will have the game on at puck drop, and only the Sabres will decide how long I stay tuned in. 😂 GO SABRES!

Kind of difficult to go anywhere but up, since they were at rock bottom. 😉

Starting Anderson would be a puzzling decision to begin the season. He is clearly the backup. Season opener(home opener)...have to start Comrie.

If Portillo bolts next summer, I would draft another goalie somewhere in rounds 3-7.

😞

😂😂😂 I think I’ve earned the right to take a “prove it” stance after the last decade plus.

No news is good news? Is this like fuzzy math?

Playoffs…check…nvm.

I flipped on the game at some point, and there was an ad with a huge black circle(must have been a logo of some kind). Already hard enough to follow the puck at times, lets make it even harder. 😂

Handing out contract extensions like Halloween candy today. Where do I go to get mine. TRICK OR TREAT!!!!!

I thought this thread title was a joke. 54 NHL games, and you get a contract of this length and $$$. okie dokie

Draft completed in 65 minutes! Good luck to all.

I am pretty sure that anyone who wanted to, is in for this season.

Which prospect is the one whose skating needs to improve...Bloom or Nadeau?

Whenever a Ek mentions comes up, I think back to the poster whose name I cannot remember, who would post one hockeybuzz rumor after another. 😂

90 sec. Most people are pretty quick. I would think the draft will be less than 90 min total

My house is a few miles away from the nearest tracks, but whenever I hear the train horn, I think… Stupid Bills train horn. 😂

The ESPN rosters have been a trainwreck for years. They should at least make more of an attempt now that they are a broadcast partner once again.

Number of transactions per week is back to 5, and league play begins a week from today, 10/17.
