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?

Well 2-2 and ohtani was human. At least one more game guaranteed in Toronto. If tix were 700$+ for cheap seats, I would consider going

We are sixth in the division and in track for 82 points. Yeah this team is for real 😂. Maybe November will be different.

Another GM, a real GM would. But one beholden to “their” contracts will not. Just think what it would be like to have Rasmus Andersson on this squad at $4.5 instead of Power. A more mature player at half the salary. Your implication is our hate for Samuelson is past tense. Mine is still there, it’s just on airplane mode. Let’s see how long the flight is before I reconnect.

That outcome was predictable. One team was skating hard and winning puck battles while the other seemed content with playing for OT. As soon as this team starts building any kind of momentum they just piss it all away. These are the kinds of losses that you look back at as the reason why we can't get to the playoffs.

There he goes

Just for reference this is the Sabres record thru 10 games 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

4-5-1 9 points

if you want to be optimistic, they have a .716 winning percentage over the last 7 games need to come out mad in the next game and take both points

I'd like to revise my earlier response. Given what I've seen over the last 2 games, no this team isn't real yet. Good team find away to win with leads in the 3rd period.

Great line, good for him
