Randall Flagg

During halftime of the week 2 or 3 bills game, I went outside with her family to toss a ball around, which we do whenever we can. My wife can catch, but I wasn't really thinking and zipped a ball on a rope right to her face. She didn't speak to me for a while after that lol

I believe it. Everyone can join the list, because the GDT does get nasty when we lose. I'm actually the opposite funnily enough, I shriek and rage on here but IRL just chuckle and toss the remote to my wife. She doesn't like when I swear or anything

When I saw the entire lower bowl empty out during the last commercial break against NYI to try and beat traffic, and then saw NYI score a goal, I wondered about our fans. BTW, the arena has been empty enough this year that there has been very little traffic no matter when you leave.

Happily admit to making a goofy post. I'm not sweating it. You're not on the list! Still, the worst post in this thread is what that guy said about PA. It's as wrong as you can possibly be, whether you like or hate PA.

A list of people who truly hate that the Sabres lose and regularly exhibit some level of desperation that they fix their problems: PA Thorny Callaway Sabremike me I'm not sure how many more posters I can add to this list, probably a few. Weave is one I missed. That doesn't mean other people like losing, or are fans "the wrong way." It's just silly for that other poster to say that PA wants us to lose when very few hate it more. Before last game, Thompson's on-ice PDO was like 91% or something. It's coming.

PA is one of about 5 people here that actually get mad about the Sabres losing lol

The obvious one: Scott Wheeler's Top 5 Prospect Pools - Sabres #1

The Sabres need to be much tighter at the end, but NHL officiating is an absolute travesty. You cannot ignore like 3 senator penalties all period because the game is "over" and then give them PPs when they board our players. It is a completely inauthentic way to drag a team back into the game. Jarring, and obviously unnatural. Call the ***** rulebook. Otherwise, looks like we are still road warriors. Keep that up while trying to fix the home issues

Thompson Tuch Skinner Cozens Mittelstadt Quinn Peterka Benson Rosen Kulich Owen Power is averaging 24 minutes per game this year, and is overwhelmed half the time he's out there right now What on God's green earth are you talking about "short-sighted"

I can already see us trying to tell wookie in March that yes, it is Kevyn's fault Dahlin is laboring an injury as we frantically chase 8th from 9 points out in February, because he built a team that required this sort of thing

Sure is

Sometimes ya just get beat by, er, Jake Allen!

Luckily it's a development year - he'll learn a lot eating the 25 minutes per night we are giving him. You get out what you put in I guess!

It is a DISASTER that Owen Power is our second most important and second most played defenseman.

Muh ALlen Under Center!!1! Where he's worse at reading defenses!1!

The Skinner - Mitts - Tuch line had better measurables in almost every way than Skinner - Tage - Tuch. This is not a slight to the line with Tage, which sustained elite performance for an incredibly long period of time. Mitts' stint was obviously shorter since it came so late, there is no telling that they would have been capable of maintaining that pace without actually seeing it happen. But great to see them pick up where they left off, and it's a great option to have in the bag when you need to shake things up.

Dahlin is unreal to watch. Breaking things up is easy for him, every single pass hits, he plays like he's bored at the slow speed of the game.

I didn't catch the # but it was noticeably more full than Tuesday. I wouldn't be surprised if it passed 15k

I like the first two lines as much as I hate the third one. Interesting juggle. I've gone away from obsessing over line combos as part of what interests me in hockey. My wife and I will be there. I haven't seen a buffalo sports team lose in person since 2018 or 19, we are into a double digit win streak at this point

Lmao we played the 21 year old into an injury just 4 games in

vs NYI tomorrow and vs MTL after that. Need 4/4 points, simple

If our goaltending room was in better shape the question I'd be asking based on what I've seen so far is "should we send Levi down? Is that best for his development?" The conversation is instead forced along the lines of "how often can we get away with starting this kid without completely wearing him out? it appears that 4 games in a row is the line we have to toe"

That's just silly though! I believe kevyn does his due-diligence but then gets gunshy, and this offseason was just the worst time imaginable to do that, because they created so much leverage to springboard from. If they really let all the energy out of the spring the way it looks like, there's really no telling how ugly it can be or how much work it might take to try and wind up again. Just an all-time fumble if they can't claw out of it starting basically right now.

The Sabres did this to you, and the Sabres continuing to act in this way will make unbearable, soul-crushing hockey happen again, and we will be booing some of these guys in a few years just like we do Eichel.

I am just trying to get through to you that just because something didn't happen, and because OTHER TEAMS didn't fix their goaltending (most teams did not need to do this nearly as bad as we did, so of course they would distribute assets differently), doesn't mean that there is nothing we could have done! Other teams that finish bottom 5 3 and 4 years ago, left us behind a long time ago. We still languish, and each season along the way I was on this board pointing out "Hey our goalie situation is terrible and it's going to guarantee a continuation of losing" and it did every single time. This is by definition failure, not *shrug it's fine nothing we could do* Losers think this way. Losing franchises act this way. That's what we are, and I don't want you, wookie, to be that too.
