I appreciate the irony of guys being interested enough to tell us how how disinterested they are. It makes me laugh 😂

I'm interested in the Sabres being a team worth rooting for.  Unfortunately this team isn't worth *****.  This team is Tampa's b****.  If you enjoy that, good for you because there's much more to come.

I know there is a lot of negativity and these two teams are on different trajectories, but if the Sabres win, they tie the Leafs for 3rd in the division with a game in hand.

Come on Sabres, must win game to get some fans back on the rails.

This is true but isn't the whole story - if this happened and Montreal got one point out of their 2 games in hand, we'd be out. Because right now we're 5 points behind the wild card spot already 

[dudacek 4,641]

The recent Sabres aren’t losing because of lack of effort, or even particularly bad 5-on-5 play. It’s because their special teams have been absolutely terrible.

They have the talent to change that, at least on the PP.

Wow, 5 points out already but all it takes is a win streak.  

It’s early in the season which means they need to stay in it, avoid losing streaks, have a few winning streaks.   

I just wish JBot would do something to bolster the lineup.  Does this team have any chemistry?   Year 3, looking at standings I see some improvement but watching the product on ice really I do not.  The trajectory has been downward lately and something must be done to change the direction.

They'll need to return to the 12 point in 10 game 98 point pace that many cite, and then go on an additional run of something like 4-0-1 in a 5 game span. That'd get them to 98. 

Doable.

But if they were to drop out of third in the division, they wouldn't be five points out of the playoffs. Am I missing something? Out of the playoffs point total = the lesser of points back of third in division/points back of final wild card team.

I’m in Dallas at my sisters house and we have many family members present for a special Thanksgiving this year.   We went to the Bills game yesterday.  It was wonderful to see the Bills win.  They were well prepared and professional.  The Bills have a good blend of emerging talent and veterans.   They play and act like a team, which makes them fun and great representatives for the city of Buffalo.  Compliments to Beane and Coach McDermott.   They are on the rise.  

Today at 3:00 CST is our Thanksgiving Dinner.  I will not interrupt this Holiday with the Sabres.   I will do periodic checks on NHL.TV using my iPad but it’s time to focus on family and more important matters.  

I was saddened to see the BN put out that article on the 5 game losing streak to Toronto, almost foreshadowing more gloom and doom fir this downtrodden team.  This team has so many losing streaks with other teams, ten years of bad management will do that.  

So, Let’s Go Sabres   No time like now to pull yourselves up and win for your fans. 

Did you get out to Buffalo Bros for the welcome party Wed night?

It’s like the Sabres want us to wear a ball gag when we watch them.

[bob_sauve28 846]

We are playing against a trash goalie. They have to beat them today. Come onSabres 

[ubkev 642]

Alright, I'm here. I haven't watched a game this month. But I'm all alone, and don't feel like watching Netflix just yet. Let's see how long they can hold my attention.

Holy smokes it looks like the entire crowd is Leafs fans.  A lot of folks must have sold their tix.

Or they’re hung over from Thanksgiving. 

[Ogrish 192]

Think these could be implanted to replace the Sabres missing ones?

Wow, Jack really ***** the bed there. But he did get back to break it up.

[bob_sauve28 846]

That was a messed up play. Ollophson almost! 

[bob_sauve28 846]

Leeeenus!! 

[Carmel Corn 492]

Please shoot!   Anybody in white please?

[Gatorman0519 881]

Thank goodness we are not giving up any odd man rushes or break aways! Smh

Nylander has rockets in his skates.

Scandella with a half hearted attempt to chip the puck. Wrong time in the game to do that buddy. Maybe you’ll fix that on your near future new team.

[ubkev 642]

This team sucks.

[Doohickie 2,746]

Ullmark and the Magic Glove.

[SABRES 0311 843]

Seriously, I hope Ullmark screams at the dmen. How many great opportunities does he have to save them.

We are going to need Hasek just to get 80 points this year!

Fantastic clear... Way to pick up the forwards in front of the net...superb puck handling there!  Smh
