Wasn’t Pilut the guy who avoided contact like the plague? It may have been after he came back from injury or maybe I’m thinking of a different player altogether.
Nobody knows what goes on in Ink's mind

Wait. I thought we had to lose on purpose to get the highest picks we could because it was the only way out from ninth place year after year?!
I love how the goalposts are always in motion.
I'm so tired of being sold the future. It's been decades. Call me when we are actually good in the present.
Maybe I'm naïve but I think we're getting close. Atleast should be alot more fun moving forward.....

Sorry if this has been answered but if Florida loses this series do we know the spot of our third 1st? Would it be pick 28 (last 4 reserved for conference finalists)?
-
Just for discussion sake. If Sabres wanted to trade up with 9 and 16 to get onto the top 5 would it be worth it and/or possible?

Anyone know if you can get Ahl streaming packages in Canada? What was the cost? Something like $16 for the entire playoffs or something? Probably worth it for that price.

So did I see the @Derrico family on my TV last night - young Dad, dark rim glasses, white Sabres sweater with blue sleeves, sitting with Mom and kids?
Darn. No I was rocking my blue Dahlin jersey (no glasses), wife had on a blue Eichel (which we tapped a paper 'Krebs' nameplate over), one son had a 50th anniversary gold Dahlin jersey and littlest guy had a blue Eichel (which we also tapped a 'Krebs' over haha).
It's amazing how Sabres fans all find each other when out. Two minutes leaving our car in the parking lot someone comes up to us saying how he's a big Sabres fan too and should have wore his Ryan Miller jersey. We met several other fans with Sabres jerseys throughout the night. @Flashsabre - you didn't come up to me and say hello at the second intermission did you? Someone wearing a white Sabres jersey did just to say they noticed we all had our Sabres gear on. I got thinking after if that was you or not?
Belleville arena staff were good enough to take a nice photo of the four of us (I'll see if I can figure out how to post) while the Amerks were warming up pregame. I had a nice conversation with Quinn's grandfather at the intermission right before OT (his grandparents sat right beside us and mom and step dad right in front). They're from Compton Ontario and went to all of his games when he played at Ottawa but not as many now in Roch. His mom and step dad seem nice as well. Really seem like good people. Especially his grandfather, reminds me of my late and great. Having said that, I thought Jack's game overall wasn't the greatest from my vantage point (but keep in mind I was running to the bathroom with the kids and/or up buying them pretzels and nachos all night so I did miss parts of the game).
Anyways, was a great night overall. Especially with the good guys winning. I'll definitely make note when Rochester is on the calendar coming to Belleville next year and make a point of going. As someone already suggested, I may have to ask for some Roch swag for Christmas this year!

I was blasting this song on my walk out of the arena and through the parking lot last night.

Through 2 periods Krebs looks intense. One of the best players on the ice for either team. Wish he would shoot more but his vision is still on display. Dell has looked very solid. Shots are what they are but game looks pretty even from here. Keep in mind I’m 4 beers deep and my kids are bouncing off the walls after the sugar rush from their pops.
Either way it’s been a great time and a decent number of Sabres jerseys around. Quinn step dad right in front of us and grandparents beside is pretty cool. Seem like good but ppl.
Not many up and cheering when Amerks scored but we sure were. My youngest even booing their mascot. That’s my boy lol

3-1 Amerks. Let’s hold on one more period and win this thing!!

Well I got my ‘rally towel’ walking in and Belleville staff said we can use it to cry our tears off. Let’s Go Buffalo!! Errrr I mean Amerks!!
Got a nice picture of us in front of warmups. Will see if my tech skills can figure out to add it later.
Ok just found out I’m sitting beside Jack Quinn’s grandparents!!!! Will get that pic up too when I can.
Yes I’m a fan boy lol

I don’t follow NFL or NHL drafts for specific players, but I do read general comments about them every year.
After 20 years of observation, this is almost a universal truth: next year‘s draft is always better than this year‘s draft.
To your point, I remember hearing last year that 2022 was suppose to be a pretty good draft.

Agree, I'd take 16 and walk away.
This is the draft guru I was waiting to hear from. Assuming we pick 9 and 16, what does the draft look like in the middle of the first this year? Avg. draft? Good/poor depth?

I’ll be there to closer out on Friday boys. Let’s Go Amerks!!

6:02 left in the 3rd. Laval up 5-1.
So, looks like Ra-cha-cha will be playing Belleville in a best of 3 for the right to play Utica.
The other best of 5 will be Laval at Syracuse.
Just bought my tickets for Friday! Taking my wife and boys. Sitting in the end Roch shoots twice and we will all be rocking our Sabres jerseys!!

Wow they actually made it?!?!
We live maybe 20 min outside Belleville. I haven’t been to a game yet but if the Americans end up playing there round 1 I may have to get some tickets.

The Sabres belong in Buffalo, no where else.
Sure, threaten the fans; always a great idea
Agreed. As a Sabres fan living in Ontario I would so much rather go to Buffalo. I’ve rarely had any long delays or issues at fort erie bridge crossing. Queenston / Lewiston is a nightmare and I haven’t had much luck the few times I’ve crossed at the rainbow bridge either.
I love the fact we can cross the border at fort Erie and it’s literally a 7 minute drive to the downtown/hotels/arena from the border.

Can you blame the fans ? The 10 or 11 years the Pegulas have owned the team could be a case study on how to alienate a fanbase. Add to that how other markets routinely refer to or talk down the Sabres or the city of Buffalo despite the rich history of hockey in that region. Pretty much nothing but negative press for the last decade. As others have said winning will bring them back.
Hey! Your forgetting about the beer shelf installed at the urinals!!!

Sabres Officially Select #9, #16, and #28
in The Aud Club

I mean we are almost 2 years to the day into KA regime now. This is a hard salary cap league where nearing half of the teams make the playoffs and we still missed by 25 points last season. I’m not saying KA hasn’t done a good job so far; he has. I just think the past few GMs have really set our bars low. Look at the Rags, I feel like they’re turning things around very nicely and it didn’t really take that long. Let’s hope we see a nice big step forward this year. If KA can do something he has yet to do, find us a legitimate starting nhl quality goalie, then I think we will.
