  1. I’m trying not to overreact to yet another loss but Adams sitting on his hands all summer is killing this team. He knew about Quinn’s injury prior to free agency even opening and he elected to keep VO as a replacement. No goaltender brought in. EJ and Clifton the only D. This sucks.
  2. While I won’t deny the benefits you lay out, I would just counter that the live entertainment and atmosphere when the team is consistently winning (ofcourse I realize it’s been awhile) is unmatched. High fiving random strangers who care about the team like you, feeling the gasp of 18,000 people in a close play is one of those unique experiences in life. I can certainly appreciate those that want to fire up twenty views of a play on their big screen but can also appreciate the buzz and excitement that comes from watching live professional sports.
  3. Sabres were getting very big crowds late last season.
  4. Then don't be a downer. Hopefully Sabres end up with 100+ points and it doesn't matter who gets the odd loser point throughout the year. If the Sabres can take care of their own business that's all that matters.
  5. I can't believe the Mitts we've seen from last February/March until now. It's been a revelation. Not sure what his next contract looks like but I hope we can find a way to keep him at a reasonable price.
  6. Big promotion for Krebsie as well. This is his moment to show that he can play up the lineup and get some more ice time and opportunity. Don't let the moment pass you by Peyton!
  7. Mike Bales is the Steve Smith of hockey coaches. Overrated. I'm fine if they move along.
  8. It would be ridiculous sending him down if he’s near a point a game still by then. But just or more importantly is he seems to be playing a strong defensive game and is very strong positionally. Unless he goes through a big slump or gets hurt it seems hard to imagine he’s going back down. He’s done everything asked of him and has looked impressive doing it.
  9. I go to as many as I can. Committing 41 nights to anything in life is difficult but get to as many as possible.
  10. Agreed. Our seats are in 300s but it’s front row. Preseason tickets sold quickly. Would have thought for season ticket price (now even less) they would have went quick. Still time I suppose…..
  11. Looking at ticketmaster its nowhere near looking like a sellout.
  12. I have my tickets listed for Tuesday and Thursday at a $10 loss from my season ticket price (more when you consider the fees Ticketmaster charges). Price is $40 cheaper then the unsold Sabres tickets beside us and they still haven’t sold. I guess this is what it’s like being a Sabres season ticket holder especially early in the season 🤡
  13. I’ll be there as well my friend. Side note, chefs is my wife’s new favorite restaurant on either side of the border after going twice in the summer. Enjoy!
  14. I’m loving the fact ours our 20 and 23 rather than
  15. I’m not sure I’m ready to proclaim Power’s ceiling at this point in the game. I’m with you that it’s very likely Dahlin always stays a level ahead of Power but he was darn good last year and excited to see where his game can go. Those transition passes were a thing of beauty (obviously Dahlin is a master at those long stretch passes also). Glad we have both.
  16. Agreed. I also think there was a couple of million left on the table if push came to shove. Probably discussion for another thread but I just looked up Auston Matthews extension and it’s 4 years at $13.25 mil per season. Not the same position so tough to compare but I’m very happy with the contract.
  17. It’s still very surprising the only adds on D were Clifton and old man johnson. Nobody else brought in to pair with Levi. Seems like this team is just ready to take off with one or two big moves. Frustrating either the Sabres don’t see it or cost of acquisition was too high. Let’s see how it goes. If it goes poorly how long will KA take to adjust his plan?
  18. Are you ***** kidding me?
  19. Are we really concerned about losing Bryson? I’m not concerned about losing a goalie either for that matter. Both should have been upgraded this off-season anyways.
  20. My voice is completely gone today and my throat is killing me. But McDermott went out of his way in his post game presser to say that’s the loudest he has heard a stadium in his nfl coaching career. Good job bills mafia. I know we brought the noise from the upper deck. Go bills!
  21. But won’t they be in win now mode next year too? Arn’t we thinking Atleast one of savoie, Kulich or Rosen are going to need to be broken in. I’m fine living with that this year with benson then doing it next year with benson and one or two of the others.
  22. I’ll be there. Go Sabres!! My brother is town for the fins game and going with us to this game. He’s thinking of wearing his god awful teal dolphins sweater to the Sabres game today. Barf
