I had fun watching all season. Sometimes a lot of fun. Was at the Minny game in January... Tears in the eyes being in the arena that jacked up again. Can't wait until next year. Let's go Buffalo!

Only pg 6 going into the 3rd period. Correction: page 6.

Between being at the baseball diamond with my son, and the soccer field with my daughter, I've got three Adirondack trips planned. The first is campground camping with my brother's family. The second is in a cottage with my wife and kids. Lastly, some friends and I are doing 3 days of backcountry camping in a yet to be determined spot. As a Canadian in Niagara, I strongly believe the ADK is the best spot in the world within a tank of gas from my house. My wife and I took our first ever vacation together in Lake Placid back when we were dating and it's been our spiritual second home ever since.

Damn Tuesdays!!!!!!

The Buffalo Sabres are still my favourite team.

I've said it once, I'll say it again. Its clear the Zemgus Girgensons experiment has to be ended.

Grandfather?

Devon Levi for Sam Whinehard straight up. Does anyone make that trade? 🤣

Playing Ukko-PICKLE Luukkonen would be far bolder.

Also said the Sabres are in the playoffs if Levi is here all season.

What do you think you do in the playoffs?! THESE ARE THE PLAYOFFS!!!!!

Please season... Don't end!!!! Let's go Buffalo!!!!!

A small mobile goalie is lightyears better than a big body plug in a SO... ahem lehner, ahem kkkkkk.

Meh

I really enjoyed that game... Especially the 3rd period. The team still has its work cut out for them, but I'm enjoying the ride either way!

Aside from the team building, KA has done great work with the Cozens, Samuelssen, and Thompson contracts. Not to mention getting Levi signed (and seemingly very happy) given the history this team has with NCAA flight risks. All this is credit to the culture him and DG have built.

Yeah too bad he sucks!

A healthy Tage and a "hot new goalie" could mean we could actually do something if we're lucky enough to grab that 7 spot. 8 spot will be a warm-up for next year.

Still work to do, and of course we still need help, but if you're not even a little excited, hand in your fan cards!

Was at the game, unbelievable ending, and awesome 1st period. In the hall up in the suites my wife said to my friend after the game, "That's so awesome for his parents, they must be so happy!". At that moment, Levi's mom walked by and said "Thank you!". 👍

Mr Schmoe will be watching this from the box seats I thankfully got invited to. I'm so excited... I definitely don't want to be working anymore at this point!

Obvious choice is Tuch, but I see Greenway on there and not a lot of people are talking about his intangibles. I'm going Greenway.

I agree with his slow and long approach of keeping a large stable of prospects and not giving them up for veterans even though it's frustrating in the moment. To win the cup, you have to get lucky... Plain and simple. There's too many good teams to build a guaranteed winner. The key is you need a team that can compete over many, many years. The more years you're in it, the better chance you have that your team gets hot at the right time, and not be hit with injuries, etc. When you give up prospects and go all in for just a short window... You better get lucky in those 3 or 4 years. If not, the cap will catch up to you and you're done.

Looking ahead it looks like there's the following matchups: Wednesday: FLA vs TOR, NYI vs WSH Thursday: FLA vs MTL, PIT vs NSH, Friday: BUF vs NYR Saturday: PIT vs BOS, BUF vs PHI, FLA vs CBJ, NYI vs TBL Sunday: NYI vs CAR, PIT vs PHI The teams ahead of us all have a bunch of loseable games coming up... Its possible that provided the Sabres do their part that we can ground by the end of the weekend. Beating NYR and PHI will be big IF's though... But it'd be great to see the bandwagon rockin again if they do.
