I've been wonderig lately...what would happen if KA said, "I guarantee we will make the playoffs next year, or I will resign." How do you think the team would respond? How would the fans respond?

While this is generally true, there are many adult females who are bigger, stronger, and faster than some adult males. Let those who can, play.

Yeah, I don't see how saying, "hop on QEW and will need to get off on 403" sounds right....

I will be at the game today and I will cheer for the Sabres, win or lose. I don't boo my team. I root for my team. I may not like how they are doing at the moment, but the Sabres will always be my team and I will root for them. It's better for the team, and more importantly, it's better for my own mental health and well being. Go Sabres!

Gee, Pops, what was it like when there were only 48 states in the Union? 😜

When I was born, JFK was president, but at least we had all 50 states.

Stupid metric system!

What, you don't think he'll be claimed off waivers by a playoff ready team??? 🤣

Or if he had told George, "If you had never been born, she would have needed glasses!"

Of course they do. With all of the Leaves fans in the arena, it must feel like an away game for them.

"As of now..." How many times have us fans thought, "Oh, man, we've turned the corner now!" Only to crash back to reality the next game. Until they win several in a row, and win most of a bunch of games in a stretch, I cannot believe anything has changed based on one game.

Okey dokey!

Of all the Matt Ellises in the world, he's the Matt Elliest.

If the Sabres could eliminate own-goals while Levi is on net, his GAA would be halved. I don't think he can be blamed for those.

Is there a stat that tracks how many times a goalie gets scored on off one of their own teammates? Levi could lead the league.

I am not superstitious. I guess I am just regular stitious. We have some rituals like we wear the same jerseys for games and my wife puts on her "rally cap" if we are behind late in a game, but we don't believe it makes any difference in the outcome. It's just for the fun of it.

It's understandable to forget about players on a perennial non-playoff team. Wait until they get a look at him come playoffs 2024. They will notice. Power and others. Playoff hockey is when the rest of the league, as well as many non-rabid fans, start to pay attention.

This kind of reminds me of the 1980 US Mens Olympic Team. They had a tight unit forged by a good coach and tough training. They were also very young. After all the time they spent training together and meshing, coach Brooks brought in a good player to add some skill. But he was considered an outsider by the team and was eventually bounced out. It worked out well for that team, obviously. It is curous that very few of that team went on to enjoy good NHL careers though. They are still tight to this day.

Great. Now I'm going to be worried for the next 6 years wondering how we are going to re-sign all of these perennial all-stars in 2030. Thanks a lot!

When I played soccer and transitioned from goalie to midfielder, I had to re-learn how to play my usual fearless style without getting injured. I hope Mattias can learn how to play rugged while avoiding injuries. You have to pick your opportunities and avoid the reckless ones.

If you read the release, it says the "Buffalo Sabres" named him president. I guess the players voted him in? No - the release would have said the Buffalo Sabres "elected" him president. Maybe there was a coup?

We are thinking of going to the NY State Fair next weekend to see George Thorogood and the Destroyers. I don't want to have to stay overnight in Syracuse, but it's a long drive back home late at night otherwise. It will be my fourth attempt at seeing Thorogood. Maybe this will be the one!

I think a 7th defenseman of Lybushkin's calibre could have made the difference in the 2006 Conference Finals versus Carolina.

I think Boosch was our only excess D-man with any trade value. Not all of them can play at the same time. Makes sense in those terms, but I liked him.

It seems that so many of those 1-30 numbers are retired now that they wouldn't have enough numbers left to field a whole team?
