  9. GDT: Columbus vs Buffalo, 7pm

    Actually, I'm cool with a playoff berth no matter who's contributing. You know, because we watch hockey to be entertained and, you know, you can't win if you're not in and, you know, after years of being horrendous even a "first round exit" would be fantastic for our young, young team.

     

    Listen, if Tim Murray's management is as good as everyone thinks it is, then it doesn't matter where we pick-----we'll get the right guy.

     

    You do not foster a winning culture by losing. It's simply impossible. You'd think Buffalo Sports Fans would realize that by now.

    What a sight for sore eyes this gamethread is.

     

    Go Sabres! Here's hoping for the same as what happened with my Phoenix Suns last year.

     

    I just want to be entertaining, even if we end up losing games. Last year's performances were horrendous, and the team was detestable and boring. Games were a chore.

     

    Here's hoping we beat the ###### out of Scott Hartnell tonight, and that we take advantage of them not having a few key players.

  18. Pre Season GDT: Washington at Buffalo, 7 PM

    Can we please do this in the regular season?

     

    If we have another playoff-less year, OK FINE. I just want to see some damn life. Last year, not only was the team bad, but they played a completely unlikable brand of hockey. Boring, listless, dreary.

     

    Hoping we can just be entertaining at the very least even if we end up being bad.

  19. Serious question now that the offseason dust has settled: would you rather go into the 3rd-last game of next season with ...

    Let's remember that by the time the playoffs roll around, it will have been 4 effing years since we knew the gut-churning, unbearably tense thrill ride of playoff hockey.

     

    April 22, 2011. That was the last time the Sabres won a playoff game (it OT, no less -- on an Ennis putback).

     

    Would you really rather wait another 20 freaking months for the Sabres to play a playoff game? And do you want to wait that long in exchange for a 42% chance (probably less, since they are changing the rules) at the #2 overall pick?

     

    And what about the regular season? Don't you want to wake up on a Wednesday, with the Sabres on a 3-game win streak and the Bruins coming to town, look forward to the game all day, wonder whether the Sabres can deliver a statement win, go crazy when Kaleta lines up Lucic, break the game down here afterwards and then go to bed happy?

     

    Why do we care about this team anyway if not for the thrills?

     

    The team last year was unbearable and completely insufferable. I checked out by like early January and that's probably being generous.

     

    For a person trying to develop and hone his love for the game, these last couple years has been completely detrimental to my own development and I'm sick of it.

     

    Give me a chance to fall---and stay----in love. It felt so damn good to watch meaningful hockey in the Olympics and the playoffs and it sickened me that the Sabres were not a part of it and were not only the worst team in the league but boring and an eyesore to watch. If you're going to be bad, at least be entertaining. We weren't. The team was downright detestable.

     

    Nothing will develop the players more than meaningful hockey. If our management is now as good as we think it is, then we'll find a way to find players regardless of where we draft.

     

    We have to remember that while the goal is Stanley Cups and that's obviously what we should strive for, we spend six months of our year watching this team night in and night out so we should be entertained and thrilled too. If that means a playoff chase that falls short, okay. If that means a first round exit, that's okay too. Just build. Languishing and hoping draft picks pan out is not building, no matter what anyone says. It's throwing a bunch of ###### together hoping that it will all click at once and suddenly we won't be bad anymore.

     

    I'd kill for another thrill ride like the series against Philly in 2011, regardless of outcome.

     

    Be the team that they say, "damn, AND they have all those picks to work with?" rather than the team that they say "well, at least they have all those picks to work with."

    If anyone has seen/heard Bobby the Brain Heenan in recent years, they know what this could wind up leading to. There's another guys who built his career on his voice and now is a completely different person.

     

    First person I thought of.

     

    Unbelievable. Heartbreaking. Jeanneret helped me fall in love with the Sabres. This is brutal news.

  23. Tyler Myers going forward

    Hard to give up Myers now after he started to come around more and more. Funny how he was Enemy #1 when he was a nightly disaster though. Good for him for showing at least a bit more later on in the season.

     

    Hopefully we hold onto him but if you get a good deal you gotta do it.
