Well if all is right in the world, and even when it is Buffalo still seems to be off kilter, no one should be complaining about watching one of the (hopeful) future stars of the NHL wearing a Sabres jersey for the forseeable future. Its not gonna be an instant turnaround, but this team has some of the main, young components in place to be good for quite awhile. The next year or two may not be great, but they should be entertaining to say the least. I cannot wait til next fall already. And bring Stewart back Murray!!!

Difference is that when Miller got run, his teammates punked out on him making the team look . The fans couldn't help that situation. But the fans could control the blatant cheering against their home team. That makes the city and fanbase look . Hard to compare the two. Fans have no control what happens on the ice, but they can control what happens in the stands. Both events were a joke....one that made the team look bad and one that made the city and fanbase look bad.

Ha, they shoulda sold that at the arena this season....they woulda made a killing.

No, and this board could never be as bad as TBD. That place is full of talkers just looking to start problems. Much more intelligence and reasoning on this site. For the most part we are all die hard Sabres fans wanting what's best for this team. And a McDavid or Eichel will make it that much better. Can't wait for this year's show to end so we can get back to normal.

Worst part of this whole debacle is its gonna turn Sabrespace into TBD. Usually this board is pretty tight knit, but this season is tearing us apart as a whole.....why, oh why dammit!!!

Loved Gionta's response to Hamilton when asked how he felt about the fans response in their home arena. Gionta says something to the effect of, we have great fans and I'm not gonna say anything more about it.

Those fans tonight we're a disgrace to Buffalo sports. Because of them the out of town writers, and there were quite a few there, especially from Canada, are gonna have a field day with how they responded to the game. As much as I want 30th, I could never act like that at a game.

Now the fans booing at the end of regulation was really pitiful. We are still in good shape.

Damn, Buy One Get One is pretty quick for a d-man.

I'll be perfectly fine with an OT game no matter what the outcome is. Still feel pretty good about 30th.

I agree with this, but my point was that they actually thought the fans would be respectful enough and not make it obvious what they were hoping for. That has not been the case. They should be smart enough to realize that there are a-hole fans no matter where you are.

This season can't end soon enough. Guys are just getting beat up left and right the last few weeks. They won't have anyone healthy by the end of the year.

20 minutes to Connack McDeichel.

Now the fans are even cheering penalty calls against Buffalo.

Looks like Schopp and BD were totally wrong by thinking the Sabre fans wouldn't cheer Arizona goals. Idiots.

I've never heard the sound of hockey sticks hitting each other as much as I have tonight. Seems like these guys just can't get control of the puck.

OEL is not nearly as physical as Risto can be. He just needs to start being more consistent with it.

Wow, that was a loud roar for the Yotes goal lol.

I didn't see anyone stand up for that goal. Just a few arms were raised.

Looks like we had the same thought at the same exact time.

Ennis is definitely the best player out there. Other than him, not much offensive talent on either team. So can watching these two teams go head to head.

I bet there are more people over at 716 watching the game. No one wants to cheer against their team in their home arena.

I think he must figure there are eight games left and I've missed half the season. Time to do what I do. It also has looked like up to this point that Delauriers seems to feed off Kaleta. He seems to have upped his physical play even more than normal tonight.

Man have I missed Kaleta.

Mike Smith looks like he should be playing center for an NBA team. How tall is that sum bitch?
