Mustache of God

Like clockwork.

A win tonight puts us 3 points back of a playoff spot. We won yesterday and since this team is wildly inconsistent I'm expecting them to absolutely the bed tonight. Aside from that, I hope they shake that bug and come out strong. Disappointed you wont' see Miller in net tonight? Don't be! After the Sabres go up 4-0 midway through the 2nd he'll go in as relief and we'll all get a glimpse of the wtf miller wave in the 3rd. Go SABRES.

Derek grant...come on!

3 points from eichel. And Kane is learning to finish his feeds. This could be dangerous

KANER

That looked square on ennis there...

Samson could have 4 points already..

"Fight" More like angry hugging

Yeesh, here's to a quick recovery eased forth with a drubbing of the leafs

Please please please don't go into Alamo mode with 55 minutes left

Eichel with two points already

Sam I Am!

Kaner!

A w8n tonight puts us 5 points behind, a loss 9 points. Truly a mistake win gane to keep our hopes alive. Luckily were due for a win as we laid an egg last game.

Just caught the video from the BN online article. Great stuff! Hopefully you're going to need to get some reinforcements for that shelf soon.

Hasn't Sam played most of his minutes on a line with Jack? It'd be interesting to see these heat maps of his ice time with and without Jack.

Must have been payback for Versey...somehow, someway.

I liked how every time I opened last years thread it said "The 2016-2017 Bills season, not off to a great start" and each time I saw that throughout the year I thought to myself "the situation has not improved". Here's to winning another off-season.

Watching these Sabres showdowns really highlights just how bad this team is at shootouts

This is why we're in the basement and will not be making the playoffs this year. Only if we find Eichel the equivalent of his Backstrom.

The Buffalo Sabres will be fine.

I'm actually looking forward to the Vegas draft and having it take a player that I don't want on the roster. Some would argue "why would you be excited about losing a player for nothing?" but I can't imagine the return of a player being very high for someone you don't want on one of the worst teams in the league. I'd love to see Moulson or to a lesser extent Bogo go mostly for cap reasons.

I just can't see a team trading for a goalie that's making close to 6mil, especially with the cap staying flat. Teams know that Pittsburgh would want to get rid of him so his value would be low as well. I think Fluery would be a great pick for Vegas considering the cap hit and all that. I think Vegas will have the mindset of "draft the best player available" and that is going to be Larsson or Girgensons or maybe Ennis or (fingers-crossed) Moulson.

We will not have to worry about Ullmark being drafted by Vegas and I will eat a shoe* if that actually happens. Keep in mind all the other teams need to keep goalies unprotected and I don't think Ullmark will be anywhere close to the top 2 exposed goalies across the league. I can see the Sabres losing Girgensons, Foligno or Larsson to Vegas. For the deadline I'm not expecting much from Murray, move Gionta and Franson if you can find a buyer and the return isn't going to wow anyone.

I walked across the street to pick up a bottle of wine at the start of the 3rd. I think we have empirical evidence that the sabres win games when we start getting after it.
