Yet we continue to watch night after night...

They're my boys through thick and thin.  I still look forward to each game and expect to win sorta like Charlie Brown never thinking Lucy's going to pull the football away when he's just about to kick it.

Is this the worst Sabres season ever as a fan?  So much hope and so much disappointment 

I can't remember anything like it, right down to the beloved voice going silent. I don't remember 73-74, but it's the only season that can surpass this one. Huge letdown after their first playoff appearance, serious injuries and Tim Horton's accident.

Rebounds, every single one of them, except that McCabe wrister that bounced off his ass to Reinhart.

The point was that he doesn't pass much. I don't think that's debatable.

5 periods now and 1 fluke goal against 2 bottom teams... it’s beyond mind blowing 

Every game it seems like Skinner has lots of shots but just can’t score, Eichel can only shoot wide or high, and Reinhart is almost getting a shot here and there.  The rest are not a factor.

One positive last period was Tage's presence in the O-zone; he's regularly skating, defending, passing well, and almost converted a great goal with the spin

He has been doing better IMO agreed. Not going to produce much of anything on that line though.

They didn’t quit in 73-74, just had lots of bad luck. 

 

These guys have called it a season weeks ago.

Good point. I'm sure this'll be pointed out as the nostalgia of blockheads or something, but those guys literally couldn't afford to quit.

All Sabres shots have no one in front.  They need to charge the net like when they bring out the crab legs at the Golden Corral Buffet.

I don't know if this is a valid hockey point or not. You keep hearing about crash the net crash the net crash the netm but I often see players in too far to cash rebounds. It happened in the second with Alexander and Casey (M.). Maybe pull it back a hair?

It should honestly really help negotiations that they'll be trying to sign "30 goal scorer" Jeff Skinner and not "40 goal scorer" Jeff Skinner

How much worse are we next year without Skinner?
