If you're only going to have 6,700 some odd fans, you might as well have them all in the lower bowl. Better for the atmosphere.

Only 2 days ago, I was jumping in front of a semi.

Seems like I have more company now.

It's really not that far fetched of an idea as, at any given moment and for any move made by the Sabres or Bills, there are plenty ready to go

I don't recall any moment in my adult life where I have been less interested in the start of a Sabres season than I am right now.

I don't know if it's Covid, if it's the 10 month off from playing, the Bills playing in the playoffs, or the fact that I have zero faith in that organization I am just so meh about this team right now.

Yeah, for just being the lower bowl, the crowd looked fine on tv. The funny part is people still high fiving and stuff during the game.

I see no harm in that, but I can see NY State a little hesitant about it

So you agree, Kreuger hates Skinner and is not only not setting him up for success but also seems to be sabotaging him as a player?

OT Jared Veldheer, who started for the Colts' on Saturday, is now signing with the Packers, per source.

Veldheer will be the first player in NFL history to play two postseason games for two playoff teams. He is allowed to sign with GB because he was on the Colts' practice squad.



Such a weird year

I’m so confused as to what you want us to say about Skinner

Do you want us to think that a guy who’s had 3 30+ goal seasons and a 40 goal season should actually be on the 4th line because he’s really a bad player?

We literally all agree he’s well overpaid. We’ve always agreed

No one agrees that Olofsson is better because that’s just not the reality

The coach dislikes Skinner. It’s a bad situation now. If you want to blame 100% of that on Skinner go for it

I say, oloffson is better $ for $
And I bet he scores similar points to skimmer and sam.

7th round pick.

You do know that is one of the last things I look at right?

Who cares that our #1 overall pick isn't being used to his strengths?

Who cares that our $9 million over paid 30 goal scorer is now on the 4th line?

Who cares that our new yes man GM didn't address the huge need to upgrade the goaltender?

Who cares that they overpaid Girgensons in money and term?

Who cares that they signed Cody Eakin to be a 3rd line center and he is AWFUL in his own end?

Who cares they will miss the playoffs for the 10th straight year?

The problem is that the analytics aren't the only things that tell you Ristolainen is a worse hockey player than Dahlin. Just about every metric available does.
