  1. No but Sabres Twitter is definitely anti-Mitts. The point I was trying to make is it’s hard for me to fathom how people don’t see Bryson as a prime player to be replaced
  2. this might come off as a bit pompous and I apologize for that BUT if you don’t have Bryson on your list, I have to question if you are watching the games or just scrolling through Twitter
  3. Because he is a UFA at the end of the season, It’s crazy for the Sabres to give up good assets for a player who will only be here 2 months
  4. Reading the crazy frustration posts by the usual suspects is the small silver lining of watching a Sabres loss
  5. That was fun. it’s amazing how their home record correlates almost perfectly with a big crowd no more Monday night home games !
  6. Change of strategy tonight instead of giving up a goal in the first 2 mins of the 3rd they gave up a goal last 2 mins of 2nd. We will see if it pays of for them.
  7. Weve seen this game a lot lately. Lots of opportunities, can’t beat a top goalie and opposition wins by converting on one of their few chances by going strong to the net
  8. I don’t think I would say that to be honest i would say “their first rounder” im going to ask around tomorrow , see what other people say and report back!
  9. Bryson and Olofsson (as long as he is replaced by a more aggressive / stronger vet who can score). skinner off of PP1 but not off the team or line 1
  10. I remember wearing my Sabres jersey the day after they rolled the Leafs in that series and walking through Home Depot and hearing someone say “ that guy is trying to get himself killed”. Luckily in Burlington no one actually tried. but I’ve hated the leafs as long as I can remember. Not sure why, probably mostly due to their arrogant fans. though the leafs of the 90s were easy to hate starting with Tucker and Domi
  11. Can you put it in a sentence? Not sure I’m completely understanding
  12. Seems the French Connection had a huge impact on a lot of us on this site.
  13. Good parenting by your dad i always say I have 2 fav teams. The Sabres and whoever is playing the Leafs.
  14. 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
  15. Definitely counts ! So why Sabres and not leaf’s ?
  16. When is the last time they were amazing ? 17 years I’ll take good for 2 years if I get amazing in 2
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. I find it interesting that the leafs had 7 power plays in the first 30 mins vs the same team the Sabres played yesterday.
  20. Put the throttle down in the 2nd period. Let’s make this the laugher that it should be
  21. 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
  22. 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?
  23. 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
