Recent Sharp Play by Sabres Building Hope in an End to Playoff Drought
The Sabres had a good season in 2022-23 where they barely missed the playoffs. After a fall back last season, this year is showing signs they may be good once again. Can they be playoff level good for a full 82 game schedule?

Dahlin will carry them to the playoffs eventually, but not sure if this is the season.
I’m thankful for this. To the casual viewer, Buffalo is the defacto “poverty franchise”. There are plenty of young people who have never witnessed a great Sabres roster in their lives. I would be pleased with going 6-2-2 in our next 10. We can do better, but I think it’s realistic given we don’t have the easiest of opponents in the next 10 and there are still major gaps in our game notably the PP. Like forget worrying about a power play goal I’m more concerned about the number of short handed goals scored against us already. Anyway, I see real change from the entire squad and way more accountability and work ethic. 10 more games and we’ll have a much clearer picture.
Can't we just enjoy the season and stop worrying about the drought.
cant wait to get buffalo in playoffs after these years and then they get swep in first round😄
They could use a Ryan O Reilly you mean?
They can have Kilorn from Ducks, no charge…
Crosby would be exactly what this team needs. And would help Pittsburgh with their overdue rebuild.
Buffalo sucked so bad over the years they ran Melody Martin off youtube
I feel like we hear this about buffalo about this time of year every year for the last 4 years
Buffalo streaky team
While i the Sabres could probably afford to pick up another player, Im glad they decided not to target after how awful he looks this year
4-2-1
sabers were a in and out of playoffs teams they had a brief period of real success but never recovered from miller injury. now over a decade later…. sabers still cant put up elite 1st and second line stats when compared to the other franchises.
the 5 on 5 is doing all of the scoring. if the power play can just be middle of the pack with that 5 on 5 the Sabres could be dangerous.
btw thanks for the Jinx THG. 🙁
If the Sabres go on any kind of losing streak again, you know who to blame.
Will you do a video on thachucks non goalie interference call last night? Id like to hear your take on it
Aaand now you've jinxed them. Thanks!
I wasn't worried when they were in a hole I'm not hyped up because they won a few- there are not games you should win or games you should lose,- in the end you record is your record-it's talent, injuries, and coaching-Sabres probably need an upgrade in the top four D-man.
Thanks for doing Shannon. No doubt Lindy has them playing better. First 2 losses are on NHL for brutal Europe trip – stuck over their for days
I know they’ve been winning and playing better. But I’ll believe this is a playoff team when they officially make it. Things look good now, yes. But we Sabres fans have been here before. I can only hope this is different this year.
Thanx Shannon!! Sabres fan for over 30 yrs and it’s nice how you critique unbiasedly with teams.
Cozens has had the chances but cant bury him, i would love to see them try him out on the wing, maybe move McLeod up and have either Kulich or Benson center the 3rd pair. Something has to get Cozens going, its been nearly a season and a half where hes been completely snake bitten, getting tons of shots but nothing going in
"This is the year" is a phrase that has a lot of meaning to both Leafs and Sabres fans.
It will take time to gel under new voices with so many new faces while trying to recapture the offensive magic of two seasons ago.
As a Sabres fan I would like more than anything to see playoff hockey again.i was in high school the last time they played in the playoffs and im 31 now. So tired of our team giving us hope and then smashing it year after year.
Sign Mark Girordano.. would be great for these guys or maybe Jonathan Toews
