Mustache of God

This game isn't over. Let's get a quick one and then keep pushing

Agree, they seem to have zero sense of urgency 5v5.

I like this hall guy

This team does not look good. Hopefully they find their legs and show something, anything, please.

I've been telling all my non-Buffalo friends who play fantasy hockey to drop their last draft pick for Tage. He'll rack up points simply by being on the ice and breathing.

It's a great thing. In reality I'm in a "wait and see how this plays out" camp before being actually upset about it. I've never seen Eakin, Reider, Cozens, or Sheahan ever play before so I have no idea what to expect from them. With the exception of Cozens they all seem like JAGs who get signed by the Sabres and underperform. If I were the coach my 3rd line would be Skinner - Mitts - Cozens fueled by nothing but hope that they wouldn't get caved in defensively. That would at least give us the expectation of offense from the bottom six. Right now the way they're put together the message seems to be "don't get scored on."

I'm seeing that Quinn has already been sent to the Taxi squad: There's nothing to complain about in the top 6. Skinner on the 4th line generates all the buzz. In my mind there's very little room for improvement in the top 6, where the bottom 6 makes both my head and ass itch.

The only internal justification I can come up with in my head is that Linus had a shorter camp and since its' back to back vs the same team it really doesn't matter, however, if we're considering Linus as the starter for the team then why on earth wouldn't he start the season?

I feel like Connor Sheary gets at least one goal tonight.

Yeah, what the hell? I guess....maybe it will be interesting to see him go up against lesser opposition? I don't know.

310 days to be exact. When do final "lineups" get published. It's been so long I don't remember. Sabres 5 Caps 3.

It was the first goal scored in 2020...I threw it in there just because.

Rieder would have been my vote if there wasn't so much hubbub about the Skinner usage. Looking back it appears most of the openers are scored by bottom 6 players (was Sheary top 6? i don't remember but he certainly didn't belong there).

I had one job, and I failed 😞 . I feel this pretty much guarantees Tage gets it.

Here's a rundown of who scored to kick off each year for the past decade. Who do you think kicks things off this year? I'm voting for Skinner.

"That's a mighty fine polished turd you've got there. Much shinier than the last log of ***** that slid out."

Are you talking about 26 Corner Blitz? That may be from longer than two years ago, but he had some good ones.

Not surprised about Quinn on the taxi-squad considering his alternative is to...not play anywhere? Would be surprised to see him get actual game time anytime soon unless there's a lot of injuries. We are 2 days away from Sabres hockey. This has been a loooong off-season.

When is the final Blue & Gold Scrimmage? Are they planning on streaming that as well?

Someone needs to cut a heavy EDM version of the Sabre Dance, something like this from spotify, but less *****: Ideally you'd want a song that's recognizable (sabre dance checks that box) and something with energy to get people jumping up & down (dirty EDM will do that).

An Ideal Sports Weekend: Sat, Feb 6th: Sabres smoke Boston. Sun, Feb 7th: Bills Win the Superbowl. Mon, Feb 8th: Sabres smoke Boston (still technically the weekend because there's no way I'm not taking that monday off).

Nice to see the Sabres still can't score on shootouts...looks like they went 1 for 6?

HUTTON!!!

Hutton with the Miller SO

This is starting to look like sloppy beer league play.
