Let’s get this season started already!

Everyone needs to Wake TF up and play hard.

They haven’t won since I got my head cut open and I’m sick of it. 😂

Think I may even be able to have a beer tonight.

LFG!!!

I must have missed this - hope that all is well and wishing you a full and speedy recovery.

With a GDT start like this the Sabres can't miss.

MUST WIN !!

GO SABRES !!

SWORDS !!

Will it be Donald Trump or Kamala Harris welcoming the Buffalo Sabres to the White House to celebrate a Stanley Cup win?

Huge game tonight. The road to the White House begins today for the Buffalo Sabres.

If they lose tonight, that puts them 5 points out of 8th. In Sabres terms, season over. This team never has and still does not have the talent to recover from that kind of a deficit looking up from the bottom. They can always figure out how to lose 4 or more in a row but are totally incapable of winning 4 in a row.

there's a covenant here at the office about people jumping into a nearby body of water (not lake erie) if the sabres manage a 5-game winning streak.

the deal may need to be lowered to 4 to have any meaning at all.

 5 points out with 138 points still available and the season is over. 🤣

New coach and new system and players getting more experienced means they are capable of going on a run at any time in the season.  The 2018/2019 team went on a ten game winning streak and then lost 18 of 26 games. The Sabres are going to have some big winning streak under Lindy at some point. Whether they can hold it together after that is something we don't know.

Fork it; they have to win again sometime.  Why not tonight?

Go, go, Buf-fa-lo!!!!

PS - hadn't noticed before, but Freddy even has a prehistoric rudimentary Buffalo Sabres logo on his hat!

Intraconference fun

To make the playoffs as a #4/#5 Wild Card you want to get a few a wins vs. the good teams (maybe face some backup goalies or get FLA on a night without Barkov/Tkachuk) and then make some hay and be handily over (DeLuca) .500 against the other WC contenders and the bottom feeders.

Last year the Caps snuck in with 91 points despite being just under .500 (40-42, with 11 OTL. NYI was also sub.500 but had a whopping 16 OTL!) The Caps were 8-8-4 vs. the top teams in the East (NYR, CAR, FLA, BOS, TOR, and TB). 8-12 is good enough against them.

The Caps were 17-10-1 against their competition and weaker Eastern teams (1-2 vs. BUF).

Sabres

The Sabres are off to an OK start against the top team(s): 1-3 v. FLA & NJD. Would've been nice to get a NJD game to OT....

If the Sabres want to make it, then they need to be a cumulative 5+ games over .500 against their primary Eastern competitors. BOS, OTT, DET, MON & WSH, CBJ, PIT, NYI, and PHI. They have started... poorly... in that regard at 1-3-1.

November

This month is Western conference-heavy on the schedule, with only 4 games remaining (and those 2 L in hand!) against the primary teams, so we're unlikely to see the Sabres jump them or have significant movement in the standings barring a massive win streak or getting every other game to OT. But each of tonight 11/5 v. OTT, 11/11 v. MON, 11/16 @ PHI, and 11/30 @ NYI is emphatically a must-win game. Anything less than 3-1 or 2-1-1 will have the Sabres all but eliminated because they'll need to jump everyone in the conference.

The Sabres need to play with the intensity of a gang of four-year olds playing Hungry Hungry Hippos.

When I was a kid I thought it was a good idea to swallow one of those marbles.  Turns out it was not.  Life lesson learned.
