Exciting we are getting close! Also weird we can't buy tickets.

Thank you.  I was just about to make a "Gary, where is the schedule?" post.

Officially no season ticket packages for the Sabres this season as there are no fans allowed at present.

Should tickets become available STHs will have 1st crack at them.  (No word on how they'd be allotted as at present, as mentioned, there are no fans allowed so no need to sell tickets.)

I am genuinely excited.

[dudacek]

I'm already sick of the Capitals.

[LGR4GM]

I'm already bored of playing the NYI.

Cool yeah figured STH would get preference, as they should if we get there.

Gonna be a brutal season playing this batch of teams over and over.

And no Toronto games, which is one of the few highlights of the season for the last decade or so.

I always enjoy the TO games in Buffalo in particular.  

At least the season is short!

Don’t like how tough our division is obviously but have to admit, I like this type of schedule. Minus it not being a full 82 obvi.

[pi2000]

how many rangers/devils/islanders broadcasts will we be forced to watch on msg

[Thorner]

Looks good. No excuses - go make the playoffs. 

[Taro T]

Wonder what the scheduling conflicts in MSG, Filly, & Newark were to have those 6 games not be doubles like the other 50 are.

And how 'bout 3 in a row vs the Devils in early April.  Could make or break the season sweeping all 6 or leaving points on the table against what on paper is the weakest team in the division.  (Realize they play everybody the same # of times, but getting a nice little 3 W's in a row, hopefully part of a much longer confidence inducing string would be nice.)

[Derrico]

Feels like awhile until we play the pens.  I could see them battling for that last playoff spot down the stretch and will have a ton of head to heads.

Anyone else notice 8 of the last 10 on the road?  With the inflexibility of Governor Cuomo, the Sabres could have their home ice advantage diluted because they will face fans on the road more often than have us behind them at home.

Looked like 6 of last 8 on the road & 6 of last 12 at home.

Unless one longer stretch was missed,, looks like no home or road stands longer than 4 games.

Thank you again @Brawndo!

 Could very well be home ice disadvantage at first once crowds are getting back, players nervous to impress the newly returned fans

I think there is no way we don’t make the playoffs.

Our problem was scoring last year. Period.

Thats been fixed.

Man, this is going to be fun.

 

And I do see more fighting do to familiarity.

[DarthEbriate]

What a bizarrely wicked schedule. I kind of love it. Except no Vancouver road trip this year (not that I could get across the border legally anyway at this point).

All we need to do is skate fast and overwhelm some teams, get a few stretches of hot Ullmark, and basically exhibit youthful exuberance and desperation for awhile. Can you imagine having to face angry Eichel in 2 games in 3 nights in Buffalo after you just came off a tough back-to-back in Boston?

The Jets play TO (and the Sens) 10 times this year!

Really looking forward to those games against TO.
