Yes it is the year (deja vu from the last 14 years)
This is one of the reason why im against further expansion. Really long playoff droughts
Sabres got so many talents and SO MUCH talent in the AHL i dont understand how are they not a serious contender.
Apathy definitely present for much of the fanbase. Folks generally don't care about Jack as much because he was always just a punk that was never going to lead in the way we needed him to.
It became a bit of a joke, but I don't know many w/ hard feelings towards Reinhart or Montour, O'Reilly etc. Personally looking forward to cheering for Jeff Skinner in the playoffs next year.
Casual fans generally rooted for Okposo but those of us that were tuned in knew that he was a garbage captain that led the team into a dumb spat w/ the fans.
Genuinely optimistic for the season.
The sabers are my second favorite team and I just want to see them win so bad
They need to add a new division
I honestly have no idea how you call him UPL, he has the best name in the league. It just rolls off the tongue so cleanly.
I think Detroit is the team that finally gets back in the playoffs, and Washington is out.
But who knows, maybe NYI is also out and Buffalo can sneak in.
It didn't really end well, but to be fair to Sutter, he brought the Flames to easily their best run in recent memory and might have continued to if Johnny and Chucky stayed.
Why the fuck do people talk about to trash eating sabers more than the avs
first of all “savoie” is pronounced “savwa” because he’s french
It's kind of funny how many players go thru Buffalo then go to cup winning teams. Almost makes it a good opportunity to sign 2-3 years there, personally play well enough then get traded to a powerhouse team and have a chance at winning it all b
German here, gotta root for JJ. But honestly, how can you NOT root for the Sabres at this point.
I think Ruff might be the push the Sabres need to get over the hump. Last year there were games where you could really see how much talent the team has and how that enabled them to beat some really good teams. If they can do that in like 10 more games, they can snatch that wild card spot.
The Sabres being a potential wild card team is a hell of an improvement to bottom of the league in 2020.
Physical play
I mean I feel like the Savoie trade is way too overcritized at this point. There was never going to be roster spot for him at the Sabres considering his height, playstyle and position.
The full effects of the byram trade are yet to be seen. I think he's going to have a huge year
I think they can make the playoffs but they will definitely need to be harder to play against. Then focus on D to eliminate the small mistakes in their zone.
Thoughts on Kylington being an Av now?
Can you please do a preds vid I would love that
No.
Buffalo has an uphill climb being in the Atlantic division. They will need to exceed expectations while other teams will need to come down off the hill. I am convinced the success of this team will come down to Peterka, Quinn, and Cozens elevating their game and the team in general benefiting from a good power play. They fix that and they will succeed. I feel they will be a tougher, faster, grittier team and that will help galvanize this team that nobody will want to face. The tools are there but there must be improvement from those whose time to shine has come.
its okay to skip a week or two when you don't have content man. the sabres didn't spice anything up get serious
Buffalo has the young core. but do they have the depth players to add to a winning culture. plus, the coach and GM matter so much. do they have any of this?
The curse of the Buffaslug
F Buffalo LFG DEVILS
the safer route and showing a picture of Krueger is hilarious lol
Their biggest key to making the playoffs is getting enough points to make the playoffs.
I think winning more would go a long way towards making the playoffs
Still getting used to the Lions being referenced as a good thing.
