When does Adams, the entire front office and coaching staff get fired? Until that happens nothing is going to change!

If you wagered, say, $10,000 on the Avalanche to win straight-up tonight... would your winnings be... $10,025?

Yes. But I'd be $25 richer.

[Ogelthorpe]

Avs by a billion!

[Mustache of God]

This feels like a game where the Sabres pull off a W in spite of themselves.

This feels similar to the Bills against Miami last weekend where it should’ve been a mortal lock if you were betting for the Bills to continue their dominance against basically a shell of a Miami team.

So yeah, I’m expecting a Sabres win haha

… followed by a seven game losing streak against worse teams

$25 is nothing to turn your nose up at. That’ll get you a big Mac and some cold fries and a medium Coke these days

Or two tickets to see the Sabres at the keybank center.

[DarthEbriate]

Just for giggles... of pain.

Now... That's the cup of a carpenter roster of a contender.

[Pimlach]

I am usually excited on game day.

Not today.    

I feel this is happening ...

Going to the game tonight.  The tickets were free, it's in a suite and the drinks are free, and we will eat some overpriced but reasonably tasty arena food - so that's all good. But I expect the Avs to dominate early on and win going away. Upside: don't have to stay to the end and fight any traffic. 

I think it was last season (Jan 2025) where the Sabres choked in the 3rd and then lost in OT.  My friend and I were predicting out loud what was going to happen with uncanny accuracy and the Avs fans around us kept looking at us like "how did you know?" Yeah, that was fun.

In a slight overpay.

You still overpaid

Nichushkin is out per Daily faceoff. They list Brindley on line 2 to start. 

[DarthEbriate]

What's the most likely outcome tonight?

 

Lyon/Luukkonen goes full supernova and make 40+ saves. Final: 2-1 (OT) Avalanche

The Avalanche coast and let the Sabres stay in it with a couple 3rd period goals, before shutting the door with a ENG. Final: 6-4 Avalanche

The Avalanche come out guns a'blazing and do not stop until Ruff asks for mercy. Final: Avalanche victory by 6+ goals

[Doohickie]

More Woe

[PASabreFan]

Sabres in regulation. You heard it here second.

[PASabreFan]

It's like none of you have watched 82-game seasons.
