Digger Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 I'm glad that they pulled out the win tonight. Nice way to end the season. There's definitely hope (with real substance not just hopium) going into this off season. I also don't expect any shocking words from the locker clean out interviews (which is truly joyful for Sabres fans everywhere). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know everyone says Okie, Tuch, even Dahlin for captain, but don't count Tage out. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say Okposo gets the C and Tuch, Dahlin and Tage get As. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 The only way I didn't want that game to end was with Jonathan Toews scoring an OT winner. I don't know what it is, but I just can't stand that guy. The way it ended was soooooo much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashsabre Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Just thinking of where I was with this team at the end of the past few years and how much more hope and excitement for this offseason and moving forward. Really hoping for: 1) Amerks sneak in and the kids develop some more. 2) Have a good draft and add some more highs end young pieces. 3) Spend the money smartly. Really upgrade in net and add a good piece on the back end. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 What was great about this game goes beyond the winning. This certainly was a RJ celebration. That was the highlight. And what made the evening special is that although this was a choppy game the near capacity crowd was into the game. What a contrast compared to when there was a half empty arena that happened too often this season. However, for the last third of the season the team was playing well and steadily the crowds started to increase. This team not only started to win with a greater frequency, it also played an entertaining style of game. Most people believe that this young team is going to get better. If this organization stays on track, I'm confident that the arena will be filled again and be a great environment to watch hockey games. What was lost can be regained. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunomatic Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Great win for the team and for RJ. Mitts becomes a trivia answer for RJs last goal call. I too am amped up for October. First time in many moons that I can honestly say that this team is trending in the right direction. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 The Sabres had a lot of trouble giving and receiving passes today. At times, it looked like they were trying too hard and overplayed things. Passes were too hard or the players were gripping their sticks so hard that the puck would bounce off the blade. I've been pretty wistful since my wife got me my ticket. (She had to work.) Paraphrasing Greg Klyma's song, whose melancholic atmosphere aptly reflects my current mood: now that Rick's retired, Buffalo won't be the same 'cause we loved to hear Rick Jeanneret call the game. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Well, it wasn't a playoff game, but it was still a pretty nice way to go out, both for the team this season and for RJ, the soundtrack to our favorite hockey memories. I think this might be my favorite RJ moment: Thanks for the memories RJ. Enjoy your retirement. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RochesterExpat Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Didn’t partake in the game day thread since it was a family affair and I’m not a big fan of using my phone when with family or friends, but my fiancée who has now watched two seasons of Sabres hockey remarked the team looked completely different than last year or even earlier this year. I don’t believe it’s hopium anymore. When someone who only watches hockey on occasion says that, it must be noticeable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
