Great job by Bryson

Poor analogy. I’m in my 50’s and do that!!! 😀😀

Finally showing some physicality here tonight

Really liking Quinn’s game tonight

His face got in the way! Lol

Hey, if you’re gonna get called for elbowing, May as we’ll be a good one. That was a dandy!!

That was a pretty aggressive ripping of ilya’s arm away by that damn orange stripe

Hold on us immediately after a missed trip on them. At least the stripes consistently suck

Geez… this one’s gonna be 15-12…. Give Mittlestadt that tip

Two quick goals and a scrap!! I love hockey again!!!

Bang! Bang! Boom!!

Finally a good start!!!!

Really hoping they get off the schneid tonight, but this group provides little optimism. 6-2 Habs with 3 empty netters!!

I’ve actually been shocked to see as many folks in the stands as there has been. Albeit mostly in the wrong jersey. 😊

We're heading back tonight to enjoy some snow, turkey and family time! Was even considering catching the Sabres game tomorrow night but cheapest tix I can find are $50. Crazy. That will be a hard pass!! Guess the days of finding $20 tickets in the nosebleeds on Stubhub are long gone!!!

This may have talked about somewhere, but what about trading Ryan Johnson’s rights for a warm bodied defenseman? Chances that he signs with the blue & gold seemed remote last I heard. What might he fetch us? Spitballing

Prolly gonna need an upgrade since Portillo or Levi (or both) will like go all Cal Peterson on us.

I'm not really sure what his comparative stats look like, but I agree, to me he has been disappointing. I was hoping that someone that was an 8th overall pick and who has spent the better part of 6 seasons in the NHL would look like more of a 2nd line center than a 4th liner. He looks really, really slow this year. This franchise can ill afford to have the ceiling for high draft picks become 4th liners. Does he have value? Sure. Is he valuable to this team? Meh. We have enough similarly sized guys in the AHL that could potentially slide into a 4th line role and kill a penalty or two. Don't know if it has been coaching, his ability, or the culture here (or all of the above), but he is nowhere close to what I think we all expected him to be at this stage in his career after his performance in the World Juniors back in the day.

You won't find another situation in the NHL like this. It's unfathomable that in a league where half the teams make the playoffs each year, AND getting top tier picks for more than a decade, that we've gained zero ground on anyone in our division or the league as a whole. It will likely be an entire generation of fans that will not see the blue and gold in the playoffs, let alone contend for anything. I piss and moan in these forums on occasion but for the most part, my spirit has been broken by this franchise and have distanced myself from hockey. As someone who grew up on skates and loving the Sabres, this is heartbreaking. Yep... Same shiite, different day/year

If nothing else, at least to maybe put an extra 5 people in the stands and create a little bit of excitement for this fan base once in a generation.

Not that it really matters anymore, season's in the toilet already. No significant moves will be made. Lets be honest, Tyson Jost is the most significant roster change we'll see all year and that is simply to assist with the Rochester roster. When does this AHL roster win next? I vote December 7 @ Columbus. 15 game losing streak.

Just turning the game on. I’m assuming the same. No grit, no defense, rinse, repeat?

What you see is what you get. Tyson Jost is our big grab of the year. Top 5 pick and will fail with whoever that may be. Rinse, repeat

Unfortunately, fighting will be phased out completely. Staged fights were always bothersome, but heat of the battle, trying to get your team energized fights will be missed. Maybe not by you all, but it is something was engrained in us older Sabre fans and is lacking. Even the days when the blue and gold weren't that good, fans showed up and you could feel the energy in the building that a scrap or two creates. This team plays like a Friday night men's league wannabe.

Agreed, but our prospect pool always appears to be great on paper until they put on the blue & gold.
