Hoss Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) All the home openers will be announced today at noon. The full schedule comes out tomorrow. So we'll know at least one game today but possibly a few others if we're a part of other teams' openers. Sabres open at home against Montreal on Thursday October 13th.

LGR4GM Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 November 3rd versus the Laughs... bring it on. Quote
spndnchz Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 Hoping for a home game the weekend of Oct 28-30. If it's the Bruins that would be amazing. Panthers, Sat 1 PM Quote
Cereal Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 Hoping for a home game the weekend of Oct 28-30. If it's the Bruins that would be amazing. You'll get a home game versus Florida Sat Oct 29 (1pm game, with Patriots* @ Bills Sunday Oct 30) Only other "good" Sabres-Bills weekends are Friday Dec. 9 (home vs Caps, Bills host Steelers Sun Dec 11) and Friday Dec. 17 (home vs Isles, Bills host Browns Sun Dec 18) Dumb conflict: Sabres @ Bruins during Bills' Monday Night Football game @ Seattle November 7. Also: Sabres @ Oilers 7pm Sunday Oct 16 (Bills host 49ers that day) Per http://sabres.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=886658, eleven Thursday home games, and nine Saturday home games. Only six afternoon games this year (four Saturdays, one Sunday, and one on MLK Jr. Day) Quote
sodbuster Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 @Carolina on Friday and Saturday nights in the middle of winter. Perfect time for a weekend away. Quote
Mustache of God Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 Whoever designed this schedule display (taken from the sabres website) should be dragged out back and shot. Can any of you tell the the home/away games based upon the shades of gray? Quote

Claude_Verret Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) @Carolina on Friday and Saturday nights in the middle of winter. Perfect time for a weekend away. I'll be hosting the pillaging tailgate for both games. edit: It seems like the Sabres haven't played many weekend games here lately which I thought was by design since we tend to over run their arena even more with fans from Charlotte, Virginia and beyond driving in for the weekend games. With the reported financial woes maybe the Canes actually want the pillaging hordes to come in, sell the place out and booze it up. Edited June 21, 2016 by Claude_Verret Quote
Randall Flagg Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 We get to see McDavid, Matthews, Laine within the first few games there, nice. and the first chunk of the season doesn't look too tough. Quote

I think I may have to make the trip down to Raleigh for at least one of these... Quote
JJFIVEOH Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 So Toronto and Ottawa are the two teams the Sabres play five times this year. And they play all four against the Bruins before New Year's? Quote
Eleven Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 The bye week is about the latest possible--end of February. Good, bad, meaningless? Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 The bye week is about the latest possible--end of February. Good, bad, meaningless? We have 22 games after that. The good is that we will be able to be well rested for the final push and the playoffs. I also think that with the all star break and the christmas break it is good. We will have a 4 day break, and a 3 day break added to this bye week break. Hope it is a positive. Quote

There's also an "unofficial" bye week right before the last 5 games which could be helpful. Quote
CallawaySabres Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 I see a 15-0 start....maybe 16-0 if we land Stamkos Quote
Hoss Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 I see a 15-0 start....maybe 16-0 if we land Stamkos Mercury Morris just started sweating Quote
WildCard Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) I count 18 back to backs, or 36 games. The vast majority of them occur from February on, over 10 of them I believe Edited June 21, 2016 by WildCard Quote
apuszczalowski Posted June 21, 2016 Report Posted June 21, 2016 I believe they are playing a preseason game or scrimmage in St Catharine's against the leafs who are holding some of their prospect camp and games in Niagara Falls and St catharines Quote
K-9 Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 I see a 15-0 start....maybe 16-0 if we land Stamkos Mercury Morris just started sweating Nicely done, gents. Nicely done, indeed. GO SABRES!!! Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 I count 18 back to backs, or 36 games. The vast majority of them occur from February on, over 10 of them I believe That sucks for chasing a playoff spot. Let's hope we're solidly in one :D Quote
beerme1 Posted June 22, 2016 Report Posted June 22, 2016 Fewer afternoon games thank you. Fewer Tuesday night games thank you. I will again ask for less of both next year. Some quirks as there always are. Home opener and final against Montreal. Play in Montreal twice on one road trip :blink: Thursdays the new Tuesday Quote
