Odd comments from a guy who created two message boards for people that are passionate about the Bills and Sabres. Also, being a Lindy Ruff fan in NO WAY compares to the Flutopians.

A great day in Buffalo sports history. I am very excited.

Right here. 👋

Hint: One of them has since won a Stanley Cup, and his initials are Zach Bogosian.

We had at least two guys that would have done something . . . and they are two guys that some here and on WGR never liked and are no longer on the team. You can guess who they are.

You left out the fact that he almost died playing for the Sabres or at least had the possibility of not being able to enjoy life the way people are able to do.

You are questioning the effort of someone who had a life threatening (or at least quality of life threatening) injury while playing for our team and is universally respected by his teammates?!? Hmmm.

Indeed.

I was fortunate to be at the game. I have not had a chance to read most of the comments in this thread. A few observations: - It was great to see and meet a lot of Sabres fans at the game; - The way the Sabres break out of our zone is one of the most impressive aspects of the game (especially compared to how we could not seem to do that effectively and consistently for so many years prior to DG); - I was worried that the Sabres would have trouble on the back end of this road back-to-back against two tough teams especially after the emotional overtime win against Tampa Bay AND the Panthers having four days rest. The Sabres did not seem to have any issue in this regard. They played with a lot of energy and as Ed Jovanovski said in the Panthers post game show, the Sabres played an excellent road game. Great wins against the Panthers and Lightning. Well done.

I also have no Italian grandparents. Nevertheless, the Chef's spaghetti parm is amazing.

As for the supposed issue regarding when the Sabres announced this, my guess is that they made the decision, did not want to announce it on Sunday when the Bills are playing, and determined it probably would get out in any event if they waited (and certainly if they waited until Monday).

I love Tuch, but for the reasons you set forth and the fact that KO literally risked his long term health for this team, the decision is a no brainer. As you say, all one has to do is listen to how the players talk about KO. Great choice and well deserved!

Rosters were available for all to see in the year 2022

Thanks for sharing. That was cool.
