    Brandon Beane has his work cut out for him.  We are so close yet so far away.  This offseason is huge. 

    Sounds like it will be just as much fun to watch all the deals being made as were some of the games this season.

    When the Sabres aren’t in the playoffs, which is... often?, just go with whatever team you find fun to watch. There’s a playing style that’ll catch your heart, or a player, or an underdog...  or just appreciate how good Tampa is. Then, enjoy for a round or two. 
    Alternately, enjoy all the ex-Sabres that are out there. Foligno and the Wild. Reino and the Cats. Beaulieu and the Jets.

    Just don’t come back to the Sabres when they get good again.

    This guy right here.  He’s a NYC Centric DB that has no ties to the Sabres.  I liked him enough when he was here but I have no use for his Yankee loving ass. 

    Drugs and alcohol are also of great assistance

    I’ve been a Sabres fan since the early 2000’s. I love the team but know that they won’t be making the playoffs. Now I know that it’s impossible to love 2 teams the same. However, i’ve lost interest completely in hockey this year. I’m not sure if it’s just the Sabres hopelessness mixed in with the long drought or the fact that the Bills season just ended and I’m in a funk. But I’m looking for a team to follow this year once the playoffs start. I love the sport but get depressed when I think about it. I have a few possible choices in mind

     

    1. Rangers - they have Drury as their GM. Who doesn’t love Drury?

    2. Panthers - Much respect for Joe Thornton. He has been playing forever and still no championship.

    3. Golden Knights - I believe Jack Eichel wanted to stay in Buffalo but the team pushed him out the door. He’s a generational talent and I still like him.

    4. Canes or Predators - I like the energy that the fans in the building have in the playoffs. Don’t know much about the players. 

    5. Whoever plays against Boston
     

    Does anyone else have suggestions? 

    I hear that Benedict Arnold is looking for you.

    I was a middle-schooler having a birthday party in the upper blues and while Gilies was winding up for a slapshot I said out loud, "oh this is going to be a weak shot".....WRONG!....his shot ricocheted off the cross bar and caused my friend sitting next to me to dive for cover as the puck was headed right for his face.

    Lesson learned.  I don't know what I'm talking about.

     

    RIP, sir.  Sorry about calling your shot "weak".

     

    His shot must have been as good as it was at 2:26 of this video.

    It was easy to hate on the Islanders for winning the cup multiple years in a row in the 80's but I remember always really loving the way Clark Gillies played the game.  God bless him and his family and friends as they remember his life.

    Look at it this way: watching them beat the Flyers in their first SCF victory must have been sweet.

    I remember him being interviewed shortly after being traded to Buffalo.  I believe he described WNY as a well-kept secret in terms of a nice place to live.  His addition was part of Meehan's desire to "toughen-up" the Sabres, including the addition of Wilf Paiemont.  I wish we could have acquired him sooner than we did.

    The Islanders dynasty was pretty much over by the time we got him IIRC. So, if that’s the case, it might as well have been a matter of timing.

    Good luck with your game Bills fans (even if your football team has one of the dumbest names in professional sports :))

     

    At least we’re not in the predicament that Washington is in. It was so easy for me to flip certain letters around whenever I saw WFT to where it said WTF.

    A key piece of those great Islander teams.  Help keep everyone honest in a different era.  Not to mention 67 is quite young.

    Well, on 67, yes and no. I lost my dad back in 2010 and he was 67. Then again, he had been in poor health for a number of years, and having coffin nails for a vice didn’t help.

    So, sorry for the digression. 67 used to be “old” decades ago.

    He was definitely a cog in that machine.

    He’s definitely met expectations. He’s a placeholder until next season. 

    I haven’t been able to watch any of the games this season, so I have to trust everyone else’s assessments of what the Sabres have put forth this season. Having said that, someday, we will see a light at the end of the tunnel. I just don’t know when that will be. It is depressing to be stuck in the Valley of the Shadow of Death for so long.

    I'm probably in the minority, but I loved these uni's back in the day.  What I dislike more is our current blue uni's....old and boring for my taste.  What can never EVER come back is the slugs!

    Ugh! I never liked the slugs! And yet, the irony is that those slugs had more backbone and toughness before OSP sold the team.

    As for the Goat Head, I loved it! I still love it. It was still a product of its time, though. And, sorry for opening wounds and pouring salt on them, but it was the team logo the last time the team was in the SCF.

    Absolutely on the first piece -- a huge (and bad) risk given how much time was on the clock. But, of course, time management has always been one of McCarthy's principal weaknesses. In terms of whether he should be fired over that, I'm less sure. I do think that the Cowboys can, and should, do better at the HC position.

    Nah. Let them languish. Dig that barb-wire wrapped toy in a little deeper on them and give it some twists, since they’ve done it to us.

    Is there anyone out there who agrees that was the perfect interception?  I can watch that over and over and over.

     

    That has to be one of the best ever interceptions in the history of the game without it being a pick 6.

    How your boy didn't get in the pro bowl is just beyond stupid now .

    You guys have john elway on  steroids 

    The Pro Bowl is a popularity contest between the players. It’s better to be picked to the All-Pro team by the sportswriters themselves.

    And that’s coming from NFL insiders, not me.
