I couldn’t sell my lower bowl tickets and had them listed for $20 if that tells you how the crowd was.

Right? Crazy to be completely out of it before Christmas every year. In a salary cap league. I just hate how my kids were finally really getting into the games and not nearly as interested in watching them now. Where’s that ‘are we the lowest point in franchise history thread’….

Never Do we know what the injury is or timeline?

Agreed. This city deserves a way better team. I enjoy Bandits games as much as the next guy but frustrating having to go watch them to enjoy a lively atmosphere.

I think it was even before that, more like the start of the third. They came out and started the period on the power play and almost gave up a shortie immediately because they looked scared. Deer in the headlights look. Up 4-1 to start the third. Like wtf is going on here???

Good sign Tage took the trip out west. Bad sign he went out for team skate a couple of days ago and still can't go. Hopefully he's back next game in Buffalo. Season is a marathon, no sense rushing it.

He did. And he’s looking way better than he did earlier in the year. I thought for sure he was going to score tonight with all of the chances.

That was the best (third) period I’ve seen out of Cozens in a very long time. He needs to bring that more often.

What a ***** joke

I was worried it would be TNT out long term so I’ll take this trade.

Good lord this sounds like huge news. Rumours yesterday it would be much longer term.

Bringing my 6 year old nephew to his first game Friday. We’ve got him an old jersey my sons outgrew and will get him a sabretooth or something at the game. Should be awesome but I sometimes wonder if it’s cruel to get him cheering for the Sabres at such a young age lol

Agree with both points. I really wasn’t sure about Zucker signing and first few games didn’t change that but I’m liking what I’m seeing in the last couple. Seems like a better middle 6 than we’ve had the past few years. I’m ok giving Kulich the odd night out to watch the game from above because of his age but that should apply to Quinn too. Slow start, give him a different perspective. Heal up quick Benson. Typical Lindy, no idea what the injury is.

Big crowd here already. Lots of kids. Should be a fun atmosphere if Sabres bring it

I noticed a couple of nice back checks today using his speed. Not getting a ton yet in the O zone but nice seeing him using that speed to his advantage. That’s his game and he needs to always be back checking hard as he can catch most guys and atleast apply some pressure.

This sucks

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen you a few times (including at fan fest a couple weeks ago). Next time I’ll stop and say hi. Definitely could still happen. Also frustrated KA didn’t add another top 6. Let turn this damn thing around! Go Sabres!!

I may be a couple old fashions deep but I think we come out flying tonight! Home opener. Let gooooooooooo

Agreed. I use to go dt Toronto for a night out. It’s obviously much bigger but really, downtown Buffalo has nearly everything you would want (good restaurants, bars/clubs, Sheas theatre, Sabres games, concerts etc) with probably 25% of the crowd, traffic and bs. Others will differ but I’ll take dt buff over dt Tor all day everyday.

I always see it and think what a bizarre name they have. It’s pizza plant but picture of a planet as if that’s what they were going for. Been meaning to try it sometime but my kids always insist on going to Chefs.

Love sidelines! I’m in town for the game and will be cheering loud and proud from our new section in 112. Let’s Go Buffalo!!!!!!

Finally some good news seeing reports that JJ and Benson back practising.

So what's the minimum someone is out while on IR? Looks like 7-days? Has it been reported what the injury is?

Agreed. But isn't most teams in trouble if one of their starters go down? The 3-headed goalie idea sounds awful. So the alternative is sending Levi down. But what if (as seems obvious) they think Levi is the better goalie today? Are we not trying to win now? I wanted Reimer as the #3 to be sure. But we're talking about a 36 year old journeyman career backup vs a top prospect no? Sucks we lost him but not sure I wanted them sending Levi down just so they didn't have a chance at losing Reimer.

Good game! I needed the win more in standings haha
