I’ll be there again…..sometimes I wonder why…. Represent your community Sabres. Act like you actually give a *****

I’ll be in the house with my wife and boys cheering on our team! Let’s go Buffalo!!!!

Something something 6k net now

Agreed. Their record feels worse because of the high expectations but they haven’t yet dug themselves an insurmountable hole.

I was there too and ***** did we need a night like tonight. That was fun.

I just got home from the game. All I have to say is *****

I’m not discounting it even if it’s shown more on the pk. It has been a revelation this year and he either didn’t get the right opportunity in years past or flat out didn’t have the defensive awareness and/or ability to defend with his reach in years past. He has that this year and even if it helps the pk more than 5 on 5 it’s been a nice surprise and welcomed addition to his game.

Huge missed opportunity imo. Feels like the way things finished last year we were a big addition or two from taking right off. Instead, we got Clifton and Johnson (although EJ has really helped the PK). We knew before free agency that Quinn was going to be out long term but the answer seems to have been not to trade VO. Nobody else brought in.

I have no idea why jost isn’t playing every game.

We shouldn’t require 4 straight losses to get there. Winning but being outshot 40-15 should have started ringing some alarm bells.

Only thing going for us tonight is the Leafs D is supposedly horrendous this year (even considering years past). Atleast that's the intel from all the leaf fans I know. The Sabres usually play better in games they can move the puck around more easily and trade chances. Not the clog up the neutral zone type games.

Hope we go UPL tonight and Levi tomorrow.

I’ll be there with the gang. Go Sabres!! My son insisted on a benson jersey and it’s ready to be picked up today. Glad Zach looks to be in the lineup.

It’s a salary cap league. What the Sabres are doing is unprecedented. Ok I’m drunk and logging off. Will be there Sunday cheering them on…..

Exactly this. His lateral movement and success on breakaways is way below average. Maybe on a defensively structured team he would look ok but that’s not how meatballs has this team playing and the strength of the team is more run and gun yet give up chances. It’s also why Levi should be better for this team as those are his strengths. But he’s 21. Sabres fans shouldn’t be asked to continue to wait forever. Goaltending was the issue last season. Goaltending was the issue all offseason. Goaltending is still the issue 8 games and 3-5 record into the season.

It’s like we just keep re-living Groundhog Day. Ya our goaltending killed us last year but I’m sure this rookie will change everything despite what all recent history has told us. ***** off. We deserve better.

But then they got majorly outshot in a big third period early in the season. I’m done with warm fuzzy losses.

So…..is it worth going out to watch the rest?

I pay for season tickets. I pay for the full nhl streaming package for all Sabres game which is only available in Canada. As I sit downtown I can’t watch the friggen game tonight because I'm not paying again for some other streaming package for the odd time I'm here and team is on the road. Having said that, if they are in the game after the first, and sabrespace tells me they are playing well, I’ll make my way out to a downtown establishment and grab a beer to watch there.

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.

No.

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.

Sabres were getting very big crowds late last season.

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.
