Finlands biggest (and only) sports magazin has Sabres att seventh place in Atlantic. A podcast I follow here in Finland also has Sabres 7th. The site nhlsuomi.com has us at 8th. When talking about Sabres it is the bad/losing coulture that is always mentioned.

I am guessing they saw a potential rock thrown by the lawnmower as a bigger worry than your 3-4,000lb vehicle.

You play a long game.

No complaints. The PT appears to be working and I have much less glute and hip pain and the even the hammy lock-ups behind the knee are subsiding. Im on the upswing. It is still going to take more work but things seem to be improving. Gonna golf 18 holes tomorrow. Can’t wait.

1st MLB game I ever saw was June 1979 Blue Jays at the old CNE against the California Angels at the time. Nolan Ryan was the starter, what a thrill!! When times were different, we were pre-teens and went and sat on the stairs behind home plate between innings to watch Nolan warm and see how hard he threw up close. We were on a school field trip; my 2 other buddies were with me too. This reporter came up to us with his TV man and said we're on TV, could he ask us some questions. We told him where we were from, what school, how old etc... What a rush! We went home and watched the Canadian news station and we weren't shown. I think he was just Jaking us, but we were so excited! Quite a first game experience for sure. Ironically, stole a Canadian girl for a wife when I got older 😀

I want to see Dahlin get a few points, crush a few Rangers and chirp Fox that he can’t believe a scrub like him won a Norris.

I think the way things are going and he is wired he will treat a call up as a chance to take the net, never find fill in part time.

First frost of the fall. Nice fire going, cup of tea and watching Open de Espana golf.

I ***** hate the Rangers and all the national ballwashing of Mike Sullivan, Adam Fox and their decrepit forward corps. Id like to see the Sabres start off by giving them a good curb-stomping that launches New York on an an inexorable march to a bottom 5 finish that ends with Drury looking for a new job. Let's go Buffalo.

I have no idea how this team will come out tonight. Lyon should be an improvement on last year’s UPL. Another year for Ruff to get through to them but this coaching staff does not impress me. Cornerstones like Tage, Dahlin, and Tuch need to demand more and set a higher standard. The defense without Kesserling looks like last year. They need a fast start.

Beautiful thread title. As Doc E. would say, What Chaos!

Well, if you want to get technical, Sabre goalies combined for 153 NHL starts last year. 😜 Don't imagine many teams have more.

Zuckerberg would claim infringement. MySabres is available though. (Maybe that's what we get when the 'hood shrinks some more. 😉 )

Hope springs eternal and Lyon did have that one magical run while Bobrovsky was out, but he's had opportunities to seize the starters job in the past and has never been able to take the reins. Expect a more realistic hope is that he can be "the guy" for the month of October and then either UPL finally gets out of his own head or one of the little AHLers get an opportunity and seize the day. Either way, go Sabres.

A reference to a long since dead social media site? I guess they can go with sabrebook instead.

I remember the snow, Dave Steib starting, and I believe it was delayed a day because of weather. CNE stadium!

Sabrespace was already taken. 😜 You guys know we're utterly predictable and the biggest bunch of curmudgeons in the Sabrehood, right?

An oncoming car this morning swerved into my lane to go around a lawnmower that was 10 feet off the side of the road. What would you consider to be the more imminent threat, the oncoming car or the mower not even remotely close to the road?

Happy for the Jays.

Heard that's what they wanted to call it, but apparently Adams thought it was referring to him specifically and nixed the idea. 😉

Lyon starting the season as the opening goalie is a marvelous opportunity for him. If he plays well for a team that desperately needs to have a good start, it wouldn't be a surprise (at least for me) that he becomes the #1 goalie. UPL has been plagued with injuries and inconsistencies. The opportunities have been there for him to seize. He just has not been able to be dependable for a variety of reasons. Just maybe, being seriously being pushed by UPL might be the best thing for him. The Sabres are far from being a well-rounded team. But if he can get consistent solid goalie, we should be able to be in the playoff mix for the whole season. I'm predicting a Sabre win tonight. Why? Hometown bias.

Hockey fans are not from a “hood”. It sounds fake.

Since we’re running with stupid stuff, play on history and call it sabredom.

You can release players. The mutual agreement is how you get that contract off of the books. With a release, it still counts.

Sabre Nation seemed to have a better (though clearly not creative) ring to it. But guess with the dwindling of the fanbase we're down to just a single neighborhood left. Would the 2nd last one out please show me where the switch is to turn off the lights.
