CallawaySabres

I think it’s actually the best series going on. Both teams hate each other, Crosby is still incredible to watch and the goaltending stories are amazing. What is there not to like?

Even the Stars have a crowd chant?? We need to step it up

I don’t see anything wrong with one pregame ritual that could turn into a tradition.

Anything but the library atmosphere would be fine with me. There needs to be a change and what that change is I don't know....they need to do something as it will probably be another couple years before they can be a top 3 team in the division. Florida, Tampa and Toronto are not going away any time soon....and Boston will probably rebuild for the 5th time on the fly this summer.

I am 51 years old and would love to see that type of atmosphere. I am not saying it is just for the young folks, everyone my age who sees other teams do this type of pregame ceremony says they would love to see it in Buffalo as well. I think the majority of fans that attend these games would enjoy it thoroughly. Why not have entertainment on AND off the ice?

I am about as old school as it gets, but when I see place like Vegas, Tampa, Carolina, etc with their pre-game hype machine, I get jealous every time. It is going to take at least another year to get the fans back but why not have some sort of pageantry before the game starts. A lot of the fans going right now are kids/teens and families. Bring the energy up and think of something else besides the same old video on the jumbotron. I watch the knights arena before a game and it looks like the fans are gearing up for the Stanley Cup games. Our arena has been void of excitement for over 10 years and they need to figure something out (besides icing a good team) to get the puck moving. You can think the Vegas intro is cheesy and unnecessary but it accomplishes everything they are trying to do to get the energy going. Can they not even pass the flag around like they used to? Their whole idea of amping the fans up is blaring crappy music at every break of the game...it's freaking brutal. One of these days, I am going to bring back the Sabres on the warpath chant.....THAT is what needs to be encouraged during the breaks.

Tampa sure picked a bad time to forget how to play hockey

Upsetting that we are still this far away from Boston, Tampa and Florida…all in the division

Two questions, is Boston playing for anything tonight? And 2nd, is Toronto definitely locked in to play Tampa in Round 1? If so, oh man. The East as it stands today are all time first round matchups in my book.

The idiot commentator on NHL network during the Bruins panthers game just said can somebody tell me why Buffalo did not want Sam Reinhart. I swear to God 100% of the people on this board know more about hockey than these idiots do.

I have 2 brand new royal blue Sabres jerseys that I paid $250 per. They have never been worn and still have the tags on them (both Eichel). My kids both chose to wear their too small Pommenville jerseys on Saturday so is it possible to get new names and numbers on those? Do I take them to the Sabres store at the arena? Any idea how much it costs to do that? Thanks for any help!

Hardly pathetic, this team became unwatchable on tv, let alone paying to see them.

I would guess around 12k

Great game to attend

I have watched more games in the last month than I have the last 3 years combined for sure. The Sabres were dead on a vine and I had no interest in watching hockey at all. I NEVER thought that would ever happen to me with a Buffalo sports team, I have have hung around for a lot of crap years for Bills and Sabes. When Eichel, Reinhart and Risto left, I thought it would be another 5 years. Nobody is more shocked than me that it only took until March to get back to my love of the sport. Next year is going to be fun but it does stink to have Tampa and Florida in the division.

What a pass!

So in regards to UPL. Wasn't he supposed to be this huge goalie prospect that was starting to look like a can't miss? Now, it seems all that attention has been pointed towards Levi (if he signs here). What are expectations of UPL right now? Is he projected to be goalie #2 on the Sabes next season? Are we still thinking he has a shot to be the starter? I don't watch Rochester but it seems as though all the hype air has been let out of the UPL balloon.

I would choose the Sabres playing Vegas in the Cup over the Bills playing Brady in the Super Bowl. That is how deep my hatred runs for Eichel. Just to get him in our building when the stakes are that high, wow, you just know he would lose his shiit.

5 out of the last 6 games remaining are against bad teams, not the way I wanted to finish the season. It seems like they never played the Bruins at all so hoping that something is still on the line for them when they meet up.

If I could have 1 wish for this team right now, it would be that Levi is the real deal and he is signed and ready to go in 2 years. We could then go sign a top free agent veteran goalie this summer and not wait any longer for a playoff run. Even though that game last was 6-2, They had 1,000 chances that were created and that was good enough for me. Where is that floor $$ going to go this Summer, where is it going to go.....can't wait

It would be a shame if Eichel went on LTIR

Buffalo is looking relentless and I can’t even believe what I’m watching

I just don’t don't see it in this Power kid, oh well…

Are we bad again?

Who is making the decision that Eaken is an actual nhl player? It really is beyond annoying at this point….he will probably get the next goal though
