How is this sold out?!  Was this addressed here?

This is actually another reason I bitch about this club. I remember going to both the Aud and HSBC as it was back then (maybe even Marine Midland) Sold out games!!! Atmosphere way better than you get in Toronto! The place would shake at times, it was electric and you felt good about being a fan. To see game nights now (tonight being the exception of course) with maybe a half filled building and usually more of the opponents fans. It is so incredibly sad and disheartening. Also to realize that another generation  of what could be young fans are missing that experience or just don't care is so criminal. I am angry with myself for swallowing what Terry Pegula was selling when he first came over and seeing what has become under his tenure. What you see tonight is what I fondly remember and yeah, it hurts.

Tuch with the Hatty! Good stuff.

Tuch at least always tries for the perfect snipe. When he’s off it looks bad (always misses the net). When he’s on, he makes it look easy af

[Night Train]

Now go into D mode and hold on for dear life !!!  

 

Sorry..combat fatigue..

I guess they are really feeling themselves after getting the monkey off their back...

Malenstyn skates a lot like Girgs. Kinda hunched over.

Why? Why wouldn't you...or anyone for that matter...take him at his word when he bought the team? Now? Sure, it's fine to be angry. Anyone who believes anything out of his mouth at this point regarding this moribund franchise is either tone deaf, obtuse, or both. He has lost all trust of the majority of this fan base and for good reason. He is a snake oil salesman.

[Believer]

Wow.

Come home after holiday party and see Sabres broke out!

Tuch. Tuch. Tuch.

Awesome.

Pat Maroon wouldn’t be a bad addition to this team.

He answers to Quasimodo..

[K012010]

Lindy must’ve had them do shooting practice for accuracy. All our shooters are on point tonight. Too big a coincidence.

[Big Guava]

Quinn starting to regain his form...6 points in the last 5 games including 4 goals and several patented Quinn laser snipes.

Not surprisingly, so is Cousins as they seem to regaining the "kid line" form that made them our best line many nights

Dump lafferty then, but besides being a goon I don't know what he can bring.

[Believer]

Did I hear him say “Sell Out Crowd.”

Fans needed this. Team delivered.

Glad you see it as half filled because I had you pegged as a half empty kind of guy, 

[bunomatic]

Jacks back. That was fun. Tuch with a hattie. Bennie could have had a couple more🤷🏻‍♂️

[K012010]

Anyone else find it slightly odd that Tuch embraces the goalie last after a win it looks like every time? 

Seems like captain behavior, but Dahlin doesn’t seem to push to make sure he’s the guy doing that. I’m assuming Dahlin is more of the lead by example, quiet leader.
