Seems the French Connection had a huge impact on a lot of us on this site.

Good parenting by your dad i always say I have 2 fav teams. The Sabres and whoever is playing the Leafs.

Brutal. Nothing left in the tank in the 3rd They let a bad team stick around they needed to put this one to bed in the first 2 periods guess 1 point is better than none but still feels like a point lost luckily others teams in the playoff race lost too

Definitely counts ! So why Sabres and not leaf’s ?

Sorry lol Pjs

When is the last time they were amazing ? 17 years I’ll take good for 2 years if I get amazing in 2

I think joker is a core piece as well. Maybe bottom pair but definitely in a long term asset IF they have a first rounder this June , I do hope they draft a Dman

There may be a day you may not be the only Sabres fan in NS Seriously thinking about retirement out that way So beautiful out there

I find it interesting that the leafs had 7 power plays in the first 30 mins vs the same team the Sabres played yesterday.

Put the throttle down in the 2nd period. Let’s make this the laugher that it should be

I agree except that the NHL d core is young and will be around for years , maybe even a decade. So I’m not too worrried about it at the moment I think you are in agreement with me that GMKA needs to bring another D vet or 2. That should suffice

I’m always intrigued why people, who don’t live in Buffalo and surrounding area, become Sabres fans. 9/10 times when I tell people I’m a Sabres fan, living in Burlington Ontario (30 mins from Toronto, an hour a bit from Buffalo), they always say “what are you? American or something?” so if you are Canadian. Or living outside the greater Buffalo area. I ask “why the Sabres?” My reason is simple. - I preferred the swords on the jersey to the Maple Leaf. Unfortunately for my Dad a long time leaf fan, as was most everyone else when you are 5 or 6 Those things like having a sword on the jersey matter! luckily I was able to watch games on tv and listen to them on the radio. Plus the Sabres were good in those days mid 70s the biggest reason I remained a Sabres fan when the swords on the jersey weren’t so important? #11 Gilbert Perreault. He was must watch tv Its a shame that a lot of Sabres footage was destroyed or is difficult to find. I still remember games , or moments. Taking the puck behind his own the net and skating by everyone Splitting the d and decking the goalie I was lucky enough to see the Sabres in Maple Leaf Gardens in 1978 I’ve looked for this game on YouTube because I swear he scored on a slap shot from outside the blue line hopefully younger Sabres fans have gone back and watched what they could of Perreault So what’s your story. Why are you a Sabres fan while not having any connection to the city of Buffalo?

Kids in southern Ontario are becoming Bills fans again. there were a lot around my age 53 who were early teens when Jim Kelly came to town in 83/84 then about 20 years of Pats fans. Imagine my life surrounded by leafs and Pats fans??? Now my son, who is 17, says most kids are Bills fans again. not sure what the actually percentage of Canadians at the stadium is but I think it was close to 15% Allen is good for the long term. Those canadian teenagers today will soon become season ticket holders. Like I was for years. The Golden shoes Joe area should definitely be considered part of the Bills territory….just don’t play any games in the sky dome or whatever they call the monstrosity of a stadium in Toronto. go bills ! edit. Golden Horseshoe! Gotta love auto correct

Geez, not liking the sound of that!

Must win

Editors note. I should have gone to work

Would be interesting to start the poll today I think they are still alive but it’s a long shot 1 spot available for 5/6 teams chasing it

4 out of last 5 they’ve given up a goal in first 2 mins of 3rd

Just seems when there is a smaller crowd, they don’t perform id be interested in seeing their record when the building is close to max capacity compares to games like today

Lance hit the nail on the head here People who only see the stats will think he’s been avg but he’s making the saves that Comrie isnt in the biggest of moments

Not a holiday here in Canada but luckily I picked up a stomach bug last night (wink wink) and had to call in sick You can’t be too careful these days!! big game! Go Sabres!

Kumerow ? But I don’t think so. Was hurt Diggs, Davis, McKenzie , Shakir Maybe they only carry 4 wr? 🤷‍♂️

Who were the receivers ahead of Isiah Hodgins? Seems they lost a real good one

When the kid line is flying , they are one hell of a good team the future for this team is soooo bright. I know we all want it today but they will get there - a top 5 team

UPL has been great but Hellebuyck has been amazing. Difference in this one
