I feel like I'm out of the loop here. Why aren't the Sabres playing this week?

Because the NHL thought it was a great idea to give proper coverage to the World Dart Championships while the NFL was on break...and not to their own sport - idiots

Doesn't every team get a "bye week" now?  The Sabres' happens to be adjacent to the all star break... Is that it?

I really don't know. That's why I'm asking. This is the first I'm hearing about a bye week.

Not sure how I missed that.

Yes.  It is in the most recent CBA; there is a five day break for all teams.

Every team had their bye week connected to the All Star break this year.

Half had it prior, half had it after

kind of defeats the purpose of a bye week for half the teams to have it overlap w/ the break. a bye week is  great if you're injured... but for the other 90% just battling general fatigue, anything after 5 or 6 days off is excessive. what a disadvantage to half these teams including us

The Sabres, save for Dahlin, have 9 days off.

It is sooooooooo refreshing to look at the standings and try to figure out playoff scenarios instead of draft scenarios.

Nothing going our way tonight.

Doesn't matter.  Get to 98-99 & all will be fine.  Need to find 4 points over an 0.600 pace to do so.  Doable but very challenging.  The best things in life often are.

Bye week was implemented in the 2016/2017 season. It was a concession by the league to the NHLPA in exchange for the players agreeing to a 3 on 3 format for the All Star game.

Mandated 5 day break...some had it before the All-Star game and the others like the Sabres had it after.

This week couldn’t be going any worse on the ice for the Sabres😔

They will just have to do it themselves. A challenge.

Should we start rooting for our opponents because rooting against them seems to not be working all too well

Yeah, it’s all western teams messing this up so far.

Like others are saying, just win. If they win a few in a row, the other teams will feel the heat.
