    This is from the NYR post game show.

    Listen to Steve Valliquette ream out the Sabres!

    Loved it.

     

     

    Can you post a different link to the video?  This Twitter User blocks views of its posts and the video wont even play here on our board.

    it’s almost as if the people here don’t think they’re actually talking about human beings. How many of you get up every day and physically punch your coworkers? What do you think that would do to you if you routinely had to go to work doing something you love and had to have a performative altercation?

    If our job was professional hockey, you betcha!  This is a physical SPORT, not a business/non-profit/thoughtworkplace.  Poor analogy.
    Would you say the same thing if your job was a soldier going against any enemy in the theater of war?  But they are human beings....
    The wussification of America is complete.  Time to surrender and hang up our man pants.

    I find it hilarious that there's a debate here over whether the fight was a good idea or not. Maybe the broken culture comes from the fanbase. 

     

    Maybe if this team showed half an ounce of the passion this fanbase has, then maybe the culture would not be broken.

    Because the fight is worthless to the score of the game.

    You all can argue with a guy on the internet, but every coach across every team has made the strategic  decision to sign hockey players and not fighters. Yell at them. 

    If it was worth something it would be tracked by analytics and coaches would employ it as a tactic. I’m sorry you all miss the 70s. The game has moved on. 

    No one is saying bring back goon-ism or the 70's. But passion, defending yourself and your teammates physically, and sacrificing yourself for your team is leading by example, it is Servant Leadership.  Fighting has its place and it took a Rookie to show this team how to lead.  You say it doesn't impact the score.  I disagree. It may not have affected this game's score, but more of this kind of physical example, sacrifice, and leadership will equate to much improved scores and even more importantly WINS in the days/years to come. 
     

    Stepping off the soapbox now to give someone else a turn : )

  5. I realize it's a bit of apples vs oranges, but I can't help but compare this high vitriolic reaction to our pick as to a certain 1st rd pick at #7 by the Bills just 3 short years ago. (See Josh Allen)

    Just a reminder that we wont really know how this pick stacks up for a while. Give it time folks.  This is not the Sabres' Apocalypse.  😉

  6. Listening to the press interview with him now. Sounds solid, impressed with his maturity. Spent past 6 months in gym to get even bigger/stronger so he can still make plays/score while big NHL-ers are trying to knock him off the puck. 

    While like many here, I wanted his linemate, Rossi, I am more comfortable with this pick. A solid piece to the TEAM puzzle.  Time will tell.

    I’ve never played with the muskies in the lower river.  It sure does have a rep though.  I used to fish the upper river for muskies back when I lived in Erie County.  There are some beasts lurking in there.

    Im headed to another musky hotspot for 4 days next week, Chautauqua.  Back before catch and release was a thing we took a 51” fish out of Chautauqua.  What a thrill that was.  That weren’t quite so common as they are now.  Not that they are common now.

    Not planning to fish for muskies next week.  Will be bringing my kayak to fish out of.  Might be an interesting story to tell if I hook up with a big one in the plastic boat.

    Hey Weave, I'm at Chautauqua right now! My family has a cottage on the lake just outside Chautauqua Institution. Where are your fave fishing spots here?  Would be fun to connect over a cast and a Labatt Blue!

    To be honest, I'd be happy just to win the Cup even regardless of the circumstances.

     

    You can put a million asterisks for all I care but I just want to see Sabres players lifting the Cup! ****************************

    If that actually happened, It would most likely be the most memorable Stanley Cup in NHL history because of the once in a lifetime global circumstances.  A silver lining way to view it rather than a tainted asterisk.

    Best Sabres loss I've seen in 10 years. 

    Based on where they've been...where they're at...and who they played.  

    Keep playing like this please.  

    This! Hold your heads high Swordsmen & fans.  Tonight's game was well fought.  Keep fighting the good fight and playing this way and the future is ours to make happen.

    Not expecting playoffs this year, but games like this establish us as a force to recon with and next year with some summer trades and promoted depth.... I like the track we are on.
