SABRES 0311

Absolutely not. Those two remind me of the Philly’s mascot.

Are you trying to say DG and KA can’t hit a curveball?

It’s not a serious thing. More of an unofficial tradition and lighthearted way to start the GDT. Its Mostly Whiners who complain about it. J/k😅

Buffalo would almost certainly get a new team down the road. I’d root for the current team if they moved because it’s the same team, different city. Already know the players and the history. No way I will root for the Rags, Isles, dare I say Laughs.

I think I would root for wherever the Sabres move to. It would be weird but is what it is.

Remember, it’s a long season. In no way is that meant to sound positive.

Watching the game on delay. Just saw the third Bruins goal. I’m guessing the live feed is not much better. Oh we’ll. Buffalo sports are what they are. Maybe Kane will change everything 😆

Look at the bright side. Pretty soon we’ll be able to focus solely on the Sabres

Is it the best answer for team success they can come up with or the best answer to keep fans engaged? I don’t know but I am worried it’s the latter.

My take on Kane coming to Buffalo is more negative. I’m not attacking anyone else’s view it’s just that I’m more pessimistic about this. He’s 34 and recently had what I can only guess is a major hip surgery. If he was 24 and had the same surgery I probably wouldn’t think twice about it. As I previously mentioned, his guilt or innocence will cause division in the fan base. Whether it’s negligible is yet to be seen. I doubt it impacts the on ice product. We literally went down this road a couple years ago with Staal and Hall. Well known player signs with an underperforming and dare I say uninspiring team. Fans (myself included) get excited. Turns out to be a waste of time. It’s already been 15 games. It will take a few more until he is in game shape and integrated with his linemates. It may take even more to find the right linemates. This in turn may have a ripple effect where established Sabres have to figure out how to play with new linemates. Just spit balling but I’d say by game 25 is when things will settle which leaves around 55-57 games left to fix the damage our record has caused. The consensus is Kane is an upgrade on the PP. So this one guy is going to have such an impact on the PP we make the playoffs despite have a sub .500 record right now? I guess my frustration is that this is the best answer the organization can come up with.

Right or wrong there are people who think he’s innocent and guilty. There will be division to some extent. I would have been more open to Kane coming to Buffalo in his prime. Something tells me it’ll be Staal 2.0 just so he retires as a member of his hometown childhood team. As fans we’ll hope for the best and justify his presence if it happens.

This team needs to drink more milk? How many man games have they lost due to injuries?

I’m a little concerned for this team now. I really thought they’d be in a better position at this point.

IMO, they are a creative team capable of cycling the puck and showing patience. Sometimes they’re over creative and pass too much. They do have some speed on the first three lines too. Team defense appears to have improved. I don’t think it’s a lack of specific identity. They are becoming more well rounded.

That girl can sing.

Not specific to the game but I can’t wait for Benson, Savoie, and Quinn to all be in the lineup.

I think this is the first prediction I’ve seen where you predict a loss. I feel kinda funny now.

Too many options to watch games to list in every GDT title.

Can’t wait for home field advantage in the playoffs this year.

I realized after the game the date format was different. That’s how I coach. When it’s not working, change the lines.

So yeah, I’m undefeated this year in GDTs. No big deal but…..

Cozens, despite his willingness and gamer personality, is not a fighter. He’s a top young guy with a good ceiling. Pucks in net not punches in the mouth.

Tell your friend to temper their happiness. The win was against a rival with a dbag fan base. To that end they shroud be happier than a pig in mud. OTH, the win makes us 6-6. Not where anyone expected this team to be nor is it where they should be.
