WTF is it with these rolling pucks tonight?

Fans spend money and attend games. You are a fan. Fans buy jerseys and spring for ESPN+ or whatever. Fans are invested in their teams. (Not all can afford to spend money but invest with their hearts.) Just being a critic is not fandom. And yes, I have been angry and despaired over the direction of the Sabres. I considered not renewing my seasons a few times. As for the team itself, all you can do is watch them and judge what they are doing. I think this team and front office deserve support. If you don't want to that's fine. Just don't make excuses about cracked floors in the arena keeping you away.

I don't consider ragging on a team in an online forum being a fan.

Remember when the Bills hired McDermott and Beane and started trading away all their "stars?" Everyone was so sure they were tanking, and yet that 2017 team made the playoffs and broke the drought. Funny how you never notice a team getting good while it's happening. That's called being a bandwagon fan.

So if I understand you both, you won't support the Sabres until they make the playoffs? Make it twice? Three times? Win a cup? Erase the last 11 years so they never happened? You want Kevin Adams to build the team the right way but you're mad that the team hasn't made any blockbuster signings or trades? And as for craptacular Terry, if the Bills are craptacular, sign me up for that! Sorry if I offend some of you. I am just so tired of these weak sauce excuses. I heard the same things about the Bills for years. Be a fan. Buy a ticket.

We've got a million excuses. The bottom line is not enough people go to games. You say they'll come when the win? They've been playing winning hockey the last three months. The arena? You're not a hockey fan if the arena is stopping you. Too expensive? Go anywhere else and buy a ticket, buy a beer or pay for parking. I think Buffalo needs to prove it's still an NHL market. If you can't be bothered to go watch the current team then maybe the AHL is more your speed.

Aren't long playoff droughts the ultimate Buffalo experience? He's got an entire news network behind him. He doesn't need me.

They've been winning the last three months ofregular season play. Part of the problem are the Bills. Sabres have always lagged in attendance while football is still on. If attendance still sucks in February with the Sabres in the hunt for the playoffs then this market isn't an NHL market anymore.

LOL, okay.

It's not price keeping people away. Some games are $29.

Montenbeault.

I'm not the one with the hockey cliches.

Arggh

I'm sure he knew Comrie would kick it right at Power's skate. 🙄

Stupid lucky goal

Buffalo is really not large enough for two pro teams. Hockey relies more on local population.

More or less.

Only about 10K tickets sold for the next couple games.

Ghule?

I've seen refs blow stuff like that off.

Another attempted ref assist

It was a Habs player going into his own goalie.

WTF was that call?

What is there to gain from "getting to the bottom of all this?"

Because we are playing backups when we meet. Tokarski was in net last time.
