Ah man we need a big win here...gotta stop Cindy and Malkin

Hi: I am looking to buy three tickets to the Sabers home game versus Detroit Tuesday March 12,2024. Please let me knwo if you have for sale! Cheers

Watched Philly/Vegas yesterday...I can see why Philly beat us...they out played Vegas and as much as I hate to say this, Torts was cool and has the team playing good, hard hockey. If only the Sabres played with half as much itensity...

I was truly worried that last year was "our" year" and we missed the boat. Almost evey rplayer had banner years and we came up one poitn short...if we had made the playoffs it would have relieved so much pressure that is now being felt. There is no way to expect players to have the kind of years they all had last year thus it only makes sense that we would go down, not up in the standings.
We also under-estimtated a bunch of teams in our conference. assuming that they would be the teams to regress, yet hell Washington is suddenly winning every game. With Tage out things are really looking morbid; time to let Levi go to Rochester and make a few trades as someone suggested; a goalie, a tough rugged forward and maybe even a d-man although this is not on the defense alone. This is a team thing, and maybe time will allow the team to work this out. Probalem is, by the time we "work this out" we will be again too far behind to make the playoffs yet again; and I do think missing the playoffs this year is a major fail, what with all the big contracts they threw at palyers clearly expecting better then this...
Time for Gallant (even if it is as co-coach and keep Donnie around for whatever reason...

If it is any consolation just about EVERY team in the NHL are playing terribly inconsistently...it clearly is not easy to win evey game (maybe for Vegas)...teams we need to catch for any chance of making the playoffs are struggling too at times (and at other times look great just as we have been doing thsi year thus far).
I do regret however that we did not build a better fourth line with some muscle (I Istill miss Marcus) and better veteran leadership. resigning KO and Girgs were big mistakes.
Oh well on to the next game. Like riding a teeter tooter...up and down we go...young team learning with every game

I cannot help but laugh at the Oilers game and the result...losing to Vancouver 8-1 is absolutely absurd. There is no excuse for losing that bad to any team, never mind Vancouver, a team that was thought to be not very good and lacking offense. Boeser with 4 goals! Of course leon scored from his buddy so they got their points which seems to be the only thing that matters.
Leafs defense looks real good again this year haha...

Laughs add Reaves...Bruins add Lucic and niw Sens add MacEwan. Looks like good hockey is back! Wonder where that leaves us?

Bunting was a big loss. I wish we'd signed him.
He is my cousin's stepson...glad he got a nice new contract and has achance to win big with Carolina but he really wanted to stay with the Laughs being a Toronto born guy. He plays hard and yes I really hope KA would sign him back before he signed with Toronto 3 years ago.
Meanwhile Toronto replaces junk with junk...Reaves is a joke but he will fight Lucic every time they play. That'll be good for a laugh...

Looks like somebody'll have to. Maybe they figure Stone's already had his in-season vacation time so somebody else gets to take on his role this year.
Hell maybe Jack will take the season off...

Treliving quit because he didn’t want to work with Sutter
Sutter was fired because players weren’t interested in staying if he was there
Players want to leave anyway.
At least they have 55-point man Jonathan Huberdeau on the roster for another 8 years at $10.5 million. 😬
Calgary sure are a mess...then Toronto actually signs Treliving as their new GM...really is comical
-
Truth is there are a pile of teams looking for the great top-defenseman we are also looking for. It sure isn't easy getting that or everybody would have them. Asking price will no doubt be so high I doubt KA will give away what other teams are asking. I have no problem with what we have moving forward which is better then, and younger then most other teams. Still think better goaltending, along with a more determined effort defensively by the whole team in general will make a huge differnece.
-
I watched the game and boy `Vegas were pretty bad first half with like 10 shots on goal. Both team sare so slow...almost thought it was being shown in slo-mo.

Luke Schenn just destroyed Matthew Tkachuk lol
I still laugh at those posters who did not want this guy on our team.
want who??? Tkachuk or Schenn? No way to Schenn but sure wish we'd have got Tkachuk; he is exactly what the Sabres need
-
Makes one wonder why so many ex-Sabres are doing so well??? I liked most of them too but at the same time th eteam needed to be gutted as KA has done.
Better hope Boston wins cause I think TO will beat Florida out in 4 or 5 games...
TO Edmonton final? Looks like a real possibility
-
I live north of Toronto and hate the Leafs, Habs, Oilers Canucks but actually do not mind the Jets...I really want them to put Vegas out.
On anothe rnote, see Bunting got 3 games...he is my cousin's stepson and actually liked his game for Team Canada a few summer's back and was actually hoping maybe the Sabres would sign him, but he grew up in TO and wanted to sign there. Now he has kinda put himself in a bad position with reminders of Kadri's stupid hits and suspensions that cost the Leafs dearly. Of course the Leafs turned around and traded Kardi for a bag of hockey pucks. Bunting is a free agent this summer and may have a tough time resigning with the Leafs now...
-
of course Mark Stone is suddenly and mysteriously healed from injury and ready to go...how absurd the NHL lets teams do crap like that. Oh and while I do not have a huge hatred for the Canes I do hope vegas get knocked out in 4 straight!

I keep hearing that cap will rise significantly with the good attendance this pasy season in the league...that'll give teams some extra wiggle-room to stay out of cap-hell (althoug some teams will be there either way which is hopefully where we can jump in and get a good steady physcial d-man)

I trhink I'd rather try to get Marcus Foligno back instead of Wilson...Wilson agitates but is not a bigtime fighter...we need someone who can really fight when needed (once the othe rteam knows you have that guy you will not see other teams so willing to take liberties with the Sabres). Not so worried about how many points Marcus would put up although he is certrainly no liability and a good leader in the room. So sorry we ever gave him up...

Kudos to CM who keeps playing well even though people love to dump in him or of course the other favorite ripping boy VO who just so happened to net his 27th goal playing on the 4th line. Heck a few years back VO would easily be the leading goal scorer on the team then. Just shows the good depth we have at forward. Just need to add to the defense one good vet but he must fit KA's type of player, a strategy which apparently is working just fine it seems.
So glad to see CA get the win...wonder if he really will retire? On with the future of Levi (who would have stopped at least one or two of Ottawa's goals)...

Looks like we finally have our guy, only took 9 years but he has arrived!
actually all it took was hiring GMKA...he has this al figured out apparently. I really thought of the tank as worthless as I disliked Jack from the start and while I liked Sam never thought of him as a game-changer. Now with the amazing haul we got for those two, KA has transformed the team into a serious contender. Took longer then we would have liked but the future is so bright we gotta wear shades...

Next season I think we go with Levi and Comrie as backup and get UPL down to Rocehster to work on his rebound control and positioning for a year. Then he can backup Levi after next year and al is good in Sabreland (when KA brings in a nice physcial d-man and also physical vet forward who can fight preferably)
-
Yep we could lament all day about Ullmark, Borgen, Carrier, Compher etc but who cares? KA has done a great job of building a team with players that wants to be here and that clearly have a great fuiture...'nough said

IT'S GAME DAY: Buffalo Sabres (9-9-2) @ New Jersey Devils (8-9-1) Sat 7pm MSG, ESPN+
in The Aud Club
Posted · Edited by sabrefanday1
Had to come and look...far less pages for ther win over Pittsburg then this loss. I actually agree with Harrington who points out other teams are getting bombed too...Leafs lose to Chicago then to Pittsburg last night. Jersey has been struggling and were due to break out big time and it has to be our beloved Sabres! Clearly there are two ways to play against us...one way we do well...other way, we suck. This does not worry me anymore then a 1-0 loss. This team simply cannot lose TT and Quinn and not feel it...hopefully we are still close when they return. Oh and Philly and Montreal seem to be the powerhouses right now LOL...
