Still looking for their first regulation road win of the season...longest streak in team history without one from the start of a season and counting.

Ventura? You mean this guy?? That explains a lot...probably has them fill out a long animal questionnaire before making decisions😂😂

Flyers seem to handle the Sabres with ease in most recent games...this has been a very ad and uncompetitive matchup for whatever reason, even when the Flyers were terrible also. Based on how the Flyers have beaten the brakes off them in most games recently where it's 3-0 in the first 10 minutes of the game half the time, probably a fair assessment.

UPL should stand for "U Play to Lose"

2-3-1

sounds like it was probably a deep bone bruise from taking a puck to the ankle. Now he just needs to fall in love with a girl named Allie and they can get married and live happily ever after like in The Notebook!

All I can say is that top line of Benson-Norris-Thompson looks like it's going to be a menace to the rest of the NHL for as long as it can stay healthy and intact.

He is pretty damn good at it for it being as hard as he says...

I had a chance encounter with some former Sabres when I delivered furniture to one of the townhouses they lived at back in the day and there were several players there hanging out including Kotalik, Vanek and Roy...we were just chatting while I set things up for them and I asked them who they thought the player with the most skill on the team was and without hesitation all of them said Connolly.

If he stays healthy he is a very good player at both ends. The problem is his staying healthy.

It's the stuff that dreams are made of. 😂

What are you talking about? That was Mike Mularkey, not Dick Jauron. That's when all we had to do is beat the Steelers backups at home in the final game when they rested everyone, and we would have made the playoffs and we choked it. Jauron went 7-9 three straight seasons and then was fired in the middle of his 4th year at 3-6. In his entire coaching career, he had one magical season in his 3rd year with the Bears where the defense and special teams propelled them to a 13-3 record with abysmal QB play and winning close games in improbable ways every week and then never repeated it again, following that season with a 4-12 record. His overall record as an NFL HC was 60-82, an abysmal .423 winning percentage. His one playoff game was an absolute ass kicking at home against the Eagles where they lost 33-19, were outgained yardage wise 336-184 and had 4 turnovers.

Huh? The dude would punt from the other teams 35 if he had the chance. He coached not to lose rather than to win most games.

Well they beat Carolina already this year doing the same thing. Brady forces teams to stop a play before he stops calling it. If they don't stop it, he just keeps calling it.

are they trying to play all their home games before February?

Usually the games are shown on The CW

He has shown the only time he really plays well is when he has to fight for something, so this is actually the exact situation he does well in based on previous history. It's when they give him the unquestioned starter's role next year again that he will struggle badly as per usual (if they do).

Pittsburgh is one of those weird teams the Sabres usually either play really well against and win or really bad against and lose. I don't recall very many "OK" games recently against them.

If I remember, he is always a guy that gives the Sabres fits and scores against them or at least causes goals to be scored against them.

You been visiting places with paranormal activity? 😂

True, and that Borque was an all-time D-man while Aho is a forward.

Often hear people who are great at pickup basketball say they could take NBA players who are bench players that never play, but then get absolutely crushed by them in a "no-contest" type way when they get a chance to play them. That reminded me of Malenstyn scoring on that play...while there are probably a lot of people that think they are way better players and scorers in their leagues than someone like Malenstyn who is a 4th line player, the truth is he would dominate them and their league and score at will, like 5-10 goals a game any game he wanted. The difference in offensive skill between the best "pickup" hockey players and NHL 4th liners is still night and day and I think we forget that sometimes.
