Ellis is the backup

Getting a playoff berth. In all seriousness, Zucker on the man advantage after Norris draws a penalty.

Ellis is the backup.

true. any moniker they come up with is going to suck if the team is bad.

who's starting.... Lyon? backup is who?

Zucker

Of course he cleared waivers 🤣I mean, if Buffalo was letting this guy go, who on God's green earth was going to think he was any good?!

yeah its hard to come up with a cool, tough sounding nickname when your team has been 1 of the softest & worst teams for a generation. Maybe Sabres Suckers? Sabres Softees? Pastajoe has the Sickos one covered lol

I feel like I’m on the lowest end of the old guy group around here and I don’t think this reference was all that old. He played during our superbowl era and later.

Hopefully it’s not a Toronto level of Ranger fans.

Sabre Sickos because there’s something wrong with us to still be supporting this team.

GuinsGhetto has a nice ring to it.

1) Sabres point total? 87 2) Will the Sabres makes the playoffs? No 3) Sabres leading goal scorer? Tage 4) Sabres leader in total points? Tage 5) Sabres MVP? Dahlin 6) Sabres ROY? Ryan Johnson 7) Best off-season acquisition? Kesselring 8.) Worst off-season acquisition? Georgiev 9) Biggest surprise? (positive or negative) Geertsen will play many games 10) Breakout player? Doan 11) Will any Sabres players or coaches finish as finalists (win?) for any major awards such as the Norris or Selke? No 12) Unsung hero? McLeod 13) Who will be the first Sabre traded away this season? Krebs 14) Will KA make any in-season acquisitions before the deadline? No 15) Will the Sabres be buyers or sellers at the deadline? Sellers 16) Other bold prediction? {Such as KA gets fired mid-season ;)} Norris will play more than 60 games 17) Any other thoughts? The goaltending will be their downfall

spare me. 20 internet points for this - I let out a chuckle.

lol I mean ya but in seriousness most of the frustration with this terribly historic streak we are on is the fact that the thing we are asking for and failing to achieve is so reasonably attainable Alan Iverson-esque ”we aren’t talking about a Cup…not winning a cup…not winning a playoff series….we’re talking about making the playoffs. Playoffs.”

The last 14 years of Sabres fandom says hello! 👋🏻😂

First game in pursuit of just squeezing into the playoffs.

WS Game 7 scheduled for 11/1.

They haven’t done close to enough to put themselves in a spot where playoffs can be comfortably expected, but thankfully making the playoffs isn’t hard and remains a coin flip: if they stay out of their own way even a little bit they’ll have a reasonable shot of it breaking their way this time. It’s a toss up but I’ll predict: PLAYOFFS. Cause, why not

Jeff Skinn... Oh wait Tage, boomer on the PP
