Sabres73

Yes! 2-0

Nice play

And right in front of the ref. Ridiculous.

All kinds of posters here are saying blow it up.

I am 100% on board with being more patient this year, as opposed to the usual blowing it up and putting us back another five years with a bunch of panic moves. Stick with the plan, we're not playing up to expectations, but I'm taking the long term view and it will pay off.

I find it amazing how little it takes for this board to completely melt down. It's embarrassing.

I said "I think they can do it". If you don't understand my simple statement I don't know what to tell you.

Our next five games are against Columbus, Ottawa, Montreal, Pittsburgh and Seattle. All winnable games. For us to crawl back into contention we need to win all five. I think we can do it.

I guess they're pretty happy with the other lines now and don't want to break them up. We'll see how it goes.

I disagree with this. Again, they have a very young team - they're talented, but it can take a while for the coaching to really kick in for the consistency. Back-back games like this can be one of those big learning moments. I can see the team playing better from here, even if we don't quite get to the playoffs again. This coaching staff can get us there for the long term as long as management doesn't listen to the long-suffering, but panicking fans.

Tuch with 4 assists

Okie! We want 10!

Skinner! We want 9!

KO!

Leaf falls down, we get a penalty of course

Is this the first time this season we've had access to a full roster?

Skinner!

Both teams have given up a softie.

I've been watching since '73, why would I stop now? I'm not a bandwagoner, I'm loyal.

No, it was an intentional play.

Yes, Sportsnet reporting it too https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/sabres-star-tage-thompson-could-return-as-soon-as-thursday/

To be fair, the source is right in the post - "Greg Wyshynski of ESPN reports: ". Not that I think it's true.

I don't know that I believe that for a second. The player would try to get as much term as he could, the teams would want to limit it to a one year because of the uncertainty of the injury. Sounds like spin from his agent.

I for one am glad he didn't sign with the Sabres. I think he's going to have very little impact for Detroit, and the Sabres weren't serious about signing him.

So on our four game run through the Metropolitan division we took 5 of 8 points. Is everyone still getting fired?
