Looks like the Habs are last in the east with just four wins and ten points. They have 39GF and 62GA compared to the Sabres’ 50GF and 46GA. Better keep an eye out for Arber alphabet (Xhekaj).

With a very sub .900 SV% the Sabres need to pepper their goalie. Do not make him look like the next Vezina winner with only 10 shots after two periods.

None of their D core look like household names and just about every player has +/- below bedrock. Do what you did against NYR and pick up the two points. 

A win today makes us 8-7-1. I believe that’s a Deluca .500. Could be wrong.

Lane Hutson is probably their most interesting defender.

This is a game the Don Granato Sabres would always lose. Beat a few good teams and then play against a basement dweller, a win would help propel them in the standings only to come out completely flat.

Let's see if Ruff can keep them going. When's the last time this team won 4 in a row?

I was wondering why they have a Monday at noon game... Was like WTF... Then I realized it's veterans day. 

And I'm a veteran.. Shame on me

I don’t think that I knew you served. Good on ya, hope you enjoyed it enough.

Won't be shocked if the Sabres are 5 or 6 games above .500 going into December, but pretty certain this team will never be below .500 again after today. 

God I hope so.

I wish I had that optimism

Thanks! I was a Navy diver back in my youth. It was a cool gig, if not a bit dangerous. Hence why I still do diving trips now. Much nicer with a go pro and filming cool marine life instead if disarming bombs in the gulf 🙃

Agree.   This should be a game that we roll over the Habs.  You just don't overlook any team, and you come out fast and ready. 

We did not win 4 in a row all of last season, we reached 3 in a row twice, and that was later in the season to boot. 

Given all the learning and growing that this team needed (and still needs), we can be happy to be at "Deluca" .500 after 16 games, but no way satisfied with it.  

This team can be good, if they want it.

Since 80% of the country is working today, why schedule a matinee?  

Good question.  Are the public schools off in NYS or WNY?   When I was a kid in the 60's, I went to a Catholic School, we had holidays on days like Columbus Day, Veterans Day, and Presidents Day.   

Happy Veterans Day to all our Veterans out there.  Thank you for your service.

My suspicion is they knew there would be more than enough Canadians off today to justify a matinee. Resale prices have actually gone up a bit recently, so expecting a better crowd in terms of capacity.

I took a look on secondary markets, cheapest tix for today were around 40 each for uppers, without fees. It appears the days of 7$ tickets are in pause until we collapse again 😜
