I chose a festive "thinking" gif. I genuinely appreciate this perspective and insight. I think it's spot on. The trick (not the treat), of course, is that big-bodied WR's who can separate go at the tippy top of the draft. And the Bills ain't sniffing that tier anytime soon. As for the approach being debatable, it makes me think a couple of things: (1) The weather in KC can get pretty rough as well (although perhaps not as reliably bad as it gets here); (2) I wish Terry would've put a roof on the new stadium.

I think from my perspective define real... what we are seeing thru the first 10 games in terms of results is on the lowside of average for our first 10 game segments over the past 10 years... so to me the result is real... we are trending in terms of results to the lowside of our average pts over the past 10 years... meaning we are out of the running when the snow sticks "for real"... 2 consecutive blown leads and OT losses seems a lot like the real Sabres... I am not doom and glooming... but simply saying that I don't see a whole lot result wise that would lead me to believe that we have broken thru... I do like some grit from some of our players... Lyon and Doan are a bit of a revelation.... but as I mentioned in another post... some of our players look like they want out... and are done with going the entirety of their careers with no playoffs opportunity.... Season is early, time will tell... injured players will return... but in my opinion, I think we are seeing the real Sabres... the ones we have seen for the past 14 years + or - a little bit...

I would say this... I am neither expressing optimism nor doom... too early yet for that... I do feel a lot of optimism from folks but I am not seeing where or how... very Sabre like last 2... giving up a lead and losing in OT is a sure way to April tee times... this needs to change... I am concern there are some players already checking out... wanting out of here... this was my main concern as we ran back our FO and coach... and played "the beat goes on " in the locker room... Here is a look at our last 10 years of the 1st 10 game segment. 16/17: 4-4-2 17/18: 3-5-2 18/19: 6-4-0 19/20: 8-1-1 20/21: 4-4-2 21/22: 5-4-1 22/23: 7-3-0 23/24: 5-5-0 24/25: 4-5-1 25/26: 4-4-2 Looks like it falls into the lowside of average to me... Now I am not saying when we get injured players back and the team comes together etc... that it cant happen... but from my vantage point I am not seeing anything out of this group to suggest to me that we have broken free of our past and are ready to make a leap to the playoffs... on the contrary... it looks to me like Tage and Co can be comfortable making those April Tee Times.. Speaking of time... it will tell... but as of now color me nonplussed. Agreed, giving up 3rd period leads and losing in OT gets your golf game going.

I just cannot get behind this line of thinking for a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 15 years. We were the better team from the 2nd period on and then fell apart with 6 minutes left in the game, you cannot leave points like that on the table and expect to make the playoffs but lets see how we fair down in these next few games. Also Lyon let in what i thought were 2 softies so let's hope the Sabres clean up some of their old habits. On a positive note I really like how Kesselring looked in his first game back and he's just getting his feet wet, looking forward to seeign him start hitting people down the road and using that size.

4-1-2 in 7 games is good. Repeat that over the next 7 and they will have 20 points in 17 games; that is a pace for 96.5 points. But, on the loser point thing, I think the past criticism is that they too often did not find a way to squeeze a point out of a game where it looked like they would get none. The last two games are more of the opposite: failing to get a 2nd point by giving up the lead in the last 6 minutes of the third.

If you find them for 250 I'm in.

The Sabres always look slow and sloppy. One thing that drew me to this team 20 years ago was how insanely fast and precise their passing was

Hold your horses here. The problem with this team for the last 15 years is failing to earn a single point in way to many games. The Sabres did this twice in 2 nights. I hate a loss as much as the next guy but the Sabres are trending upward and will easily make the playoffs I am betting one US dollar OR 10 dimes.

Someone please check me on this. Was Power on the ice for 3 of 4 jackets goals?

They crawled back from a deficit. There’s an upside at least

It's all good You're taking "maturity" lessons from a person who uses personal attacks on a sports team's chat page How does one compete with fallacies of THAT level O' maturity 🤣🤣🤣

To Sharks for Feŕraro and Musty.

As I said in the Columbus thread, we've been fooled before. This could go either way. There are signs though. Positive signs. More grit. More players who go to the paint. Better efforts blocking shots and cutting off passes. It's trending the right way but there are still some passengers.

Loser point is still better than no points. Winnable game but kind of an even game too. Difference might have been Sabres have Owen Power. The good takeaway though is they have some guys on the roster now that weren't here last year that go to the paint. They go hard net front. One can only hope this becomes more normal for them and some of the passengers from past seasons start to get the message and join in. If not, replace them. Starting to look more like a real hockey team, but we've been fooled before.

4-4-2 10pts

Bisonette said it clearly, the Sabres have a lot of bad habits that they repeat.

I gave context and asked a question. Are we celebrating the losses?

I blame Ruff for playing Kulich. I blame Adams that Kulich is the 1C. I blame Terry for everything else.

Yeah, I don't think Norris coming back is going to be a concern. One game, two max, and he's gone again.

7/10 at home for a team whose hair should be on fire to end the drought and they have 10 points. It is what it is.

At NHL .500 after 10 games with 7 at home. NOT. GOOD. ENOUGH. People are badly underplaying the very favorable schedule that is about to get much tougher. They really needed to take advantage of it and simply failed to do so.

I'm sure I could find something. But I'm not the biggest baseball fan, only really the world series. Besides, unless it's vacation/travel related I'm fairly thrifty, and I don't consider the 2.5 hour drive to Toronto a "vacation" 😂 if I could snag any seat for 250 that is probably my limit.

🤔

With your US American dollars can you find something?
