The Panthers are everything I wish the Sabres were. They are so fun to watch. It would be funny if in addition to ROR & Eichel, this year Reinhart gets a cup.
Funny is an interesting word for that feeling.

4? If they track the way I think, 4 years from now they will be worth 8mil a year.
When I come over here from TBD, I have to adjust my salary goggles.

***** great. Yet another city that will have a parade before Buffalo.
On a side note, I think those 10 team NTC lists are f***** bull *****.
And does this finally put to bed the fears of the Sabres relocating?! Good lord.
But no beer at that parade. Only decaffeinated orange soda.

The Buffalo Sabres. Too soon?

So, am I allowed to be happy with this win? Asking for a friend.

I haven't been on this site long, although been a fan since 1973. I have to ask, are the fans on this site always in complete meltdown mode? Because a lot of the comments I'm reading are ridiculous.
This team has done a lot of losing and people are understandably cynical. Also, this place is nothing compared to Two Bills Drive’s game day threads.

I think teams like the Rangers who crash the net and play physical have an advantage early in the year. The Sabres are trying things but passes aren’t connecting.

Oh, they all suck. But those other two leagues are Meryl Streep, the NHL is prime Jenna Jameson.
Don’t ever start watching basketball.

And the revenue that the NHL brings in versus the NFL? 😂
I know that. It's just that I have to adjust my wow meter when I switch sports.

After looking at NFL contracts for so long, all hockey players seem like screaming bargains. Matthews, with his extension, has the highest AAV in the NHL at $13,250,000. Joe Burrow, with his extension, has the highest AAV in the NFL at $55,000,000. But Damian Lillard in the NBA has them all beat at $60,887,020.

Are the Penguins going to be a bad team? You’d think they’d be running circles around our AHL team
If the NHL regular season is an 80% league, then the preseason is a 40% league. We've got guys trying to make a team. They've got guys going through the motions.

No. Unless you mean pregnant with the COVID virus.

How long before someone suggests signing him because the Sabres lack truculence and aggression?

ECHL games are a riot. I go to a few Cyclones games a year. The tickets are really cheap, all the seats are close to the ice and there are a lot of fights. I have to go to a game in Indianapolis this year because it's the Fuel's final year at the State Fair Grounds. You know how Canadians call rinks "barns?" That place is an actual barn. Because they hold the livestock shows there during the state fair, there is a faint smell of cow turds that hangs over the place like the odor of stale beer and popcorn used to linger at The Aud. It's a unique experience.

This would all be a lot more interesting if these guys were drafted at 20 instead of 18.

Cincinnati Reds. I loved the Yankees until I moved to Cincinnati. Living in a town with a team is different. I can go to multiple games a year and follow the team all summer. So I dove all the way in. Needless to say, it was a bad decision. Thankfully the Bills are pretty good right now, because other than that my teams are the IU Hoosiers, Pacers, Sabres, Reds, and Leeds United. That’s a lot of losing. It’s enough to make one stop watching sports all together.

This whole situation is nuts. The Coyotes got evicted from an arena after the owners of the venue determined that it would be more profitable to free up the dates for concerts and rodeos than to host a major professional sports team. Then you have Houston begging the NHL to allow their voters the chance to approve a publically-funded area when the Toyota Center is only 19 years old. It's just crazy to me that a team even thinks of asking for a new arena that soon. Even the Texas Rangers got 27 years out of the Ballpark at Arlington and that seemed really short.

The Leafs are like the Knicks of the NHL. Because New York is a center of the basketball universe, they get lots of coverage regardless of how good the team is. Same thing with Toronto and Montreal in hockey.
2024 NHL DRAFT Talk
in The Aud Club
Posted
I'm just going to ask this general question. Why does the NHL allow teams to draft players at age 18? The only other North American professional league that drafts players at that age is MLB, and they have the same problem with long development times and players not growing into their bodies. It makes it hard for teams to build through the draft, thus devaluing draft picks and making it really difficult for bad teams to get off the mat. The Houston Texans rebuilt their entire team from worst to first in a single draft because drafted players are ready to contribute and even star right away. NHL and MLB clubs cannot do that because they are forced to project kids.
