[steveoath]

Happy days are here again. My first GDT. Euro friendly face off (9pm in the UK). 

Hopefully an early goal will shut up the inevitable crowd of leafs fans.

Go Sabres etc.

I don’t think I’ve ever woken up more excited by a Bills team than a Sabres game but here we are. My how the tables have turned.

I may purposely avoid this game as to not kill my Bills buzz

Stick swinging gets you 3 games but smashing a dudes face with your elbow and stick gets you 2.  NHL gonna NHL.

Well at least the Bills are on the right path of their rebuild.  And that’s how you do it right.  3rd year of the rebuild and the team is on its way.  Maybe not a contender yet, but inching closer.  The Sabres are the complete opposite. 

[Thwomp!]

Not watching.  They don't care so I don't care.  Sad to come to this point in every single season for almost the last decade.

Not gonna defend the Sabres cuz who wants to do that but you just can't compare. NFL drafts 20-23 year old men who have proven against men who they will compete with on the next level they are performers.  The NHL drafts 16-17 year old children who are competing against insurance salesmen.  Drafting a player in the first 3 rounds in the NFL almost guarantees you a starter and most likely impact player. Outside of the top 15 picks, the NHL draft is a complete crapshoot.

Agree.

I’ve always felt it’s rather sophomoric to compare the two leagues. It’s full of strawman arguments and attempted comparisons.

[French Collection]

Not a fan of the game’s start time.

I am still holding out hope, and a win today would be huge. 
 

I am not an NFL fan but I am reading some Bills stuff on this forum just to get some positive vibes. I can’t wait for the losing to stop.

Let’s go Buffalo!

• Buffalo has not lost the home portion of a home-and-home series with Toronto since the first such series (a 4-2 loss on Dec. 20, 1970).
• The Sabres are 10-1-2 (two ties) all-time in the home portion of their 13 previous home-and-home series with the Maple Leafs and 2-10-1 in the road games.
• This is the first of four meetings between the Sabres and Maple Leafs this season.
• Last meeting: Toronto defeated Buffalo 4-2 in Buffalo on March 20.

Oh... there's a game today.  I hope they show up to play.

I get to watch this one... maybe.

[Huckleberry]

Yeah think I'll go out and get drunk ?

[Doohicksie]

In my wonderful week of Bills football here in North Texas, the only pimple was the OT loss by the Sabres that occurred during the welcome party for the out-of-town fans.  The Sabres needed to win that, to make my Buffalo sports week complete.  I'm holding them accountable.  There is no excuse for another loss tonight.

MUST ***** WIN.

[Hank]

It always amuses me when guys feel the need to post about how much they are not interested and are not going to watch ?

[bob_sauve28]

Awesome!! Let’s go Sabres!! 

 

Think of those kids in Central Africa that can never watch hockey. We are blessed. 

 

 

Destroy the Leafs!! 

 

 

 

[Claude Balls]

Gross.....that's how I feel about today's game.

[Pimlach]

I’m in Dallas at my sisters house and we have many family members present for a special Thanksgiving this year.   We went to the Bills game yesterday.  It was wonderful to see the Bills win.  They were well prepared and professional.  The Bills have a good blend of emerging talent and veterans.   They play and act like a team, which makes them fun and great representatives for the city of Buffalo.  Compliments to Beane and Coach McDermott.   They are on the rise.  

Today at 3:00 CST is our Thanksgiving Dinner.  I will not interrupt this Holiday with the Sabres.   I will do periodic checks on NHL.TV using my iPad but it’s time to focus on family and more important matters.  

I was saddened to see the BN put out that article on the 5 game losing streak to Toronto, almost foreshadowing more gloom and doom fir this downtrodden team.  This team has so many losing streaks with other teams, ten years of bad management will do that.  

So, Let’s Go Sabres   No time like now to pull yourselves up and win for your fans.  

 

[Scottysabres]

Go Sabres?

Ok, ok

Go Sabres!

The masochist in me says I will watch.

“Competing against insurance salesman” is a spectacular way of having four words do the work of forty.   Perfect ...

Glad you're amused.  Also glad the Sabres organization and the Pegulas can count on you no matter how ***** and spineless the team they ice is.  Enjoy!

I appreciate the irony of guys being interested enough to tell us how how disinterested they are. It makes me laugh ?

I know there is a lot of negativity and these two teams are on different trajectories, but if the Sabres win, they tie the Leafs for 3rd in the division with a game in hand.

Come on Sabres, must win game to get some fans back on the rails.
