My source is a friend of a friend. It's nothing serious just a rumor and was wondering what people thought of it that's all.

NHL Network into to Red Wings / Bruins game stated the Red Wings have been in the playoffs for 22 straight years...since 1992.

Terry has some work to do...the Bills and Sabres combined don't have 22 years of playoffs in their combined existence let alone since 1992.

- IonSabres


Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but the Sabres have made the playoffs 29 times in their existence.

Your overall point still stands, though.

Heard a rumor Myers for Paul Martin and Derek Pouliot. Would anyone be opposed to that?

If someone else posted this already I apologize. I'm not going back through 20+ pages to find out. This was on Yahoo Puck Daddy:

5. Tyler Myers' time in Buffalo

The Sabres are, to the surprise of no one, a disaster of Michael Bay-like proportions. They're on pace to give up a ludicrous number of shots (130 conceded in their first three games, or a pace for 3,553 in 82 games!!!) and their poor coach is already shuffling the deckchairs as passengers on the lido deck start to notice the water in their bath is really cold and also in the dining room.

And out of this impending and totally foreseeable nautical disaster comes word that at least one promising player, former Calder winner Tyler Myers, might find his way to a lifeboat. Rumors of his possibly maybe potentially one day perhaps being traded have been out there forever, but if you're gonna start selling off pieces anyway, why wait? Myers is one of the few the Sabres have that anyone would want, and the asking price for a tall, occasionally physical, right-shooting, former Calder winner who's not even 26 yet is going to be sizable. If the Red Wings, just to pick one team that has been repeatedly connected to every right-shot D in the league over the last year-plus, were to acquire him, they'd pay through the nose. Which is all Buffalo wants at this point.

The benefits, meanwhile, are tangible for Myers. He's out of an awful situation with some of his dignity intact, and people go on thinking he's the defenseman who can reliably put up a 101-plus PDO. The dirty secret on him is that he was never all that good; even his “stellar” rookie year was driven by an on-ice shooting percentage (10.36, by far the highest of his career) that proved unsustainable.

Buffalo may be selling a little low given that he's not now, nor will he ever be, Rookie Tyler Myers again, but they're selling this asset while it still has a lot of perceived value.

So Sabres fans shouldn't think of this as an end to a good relationship (one they likely think is better than it has been in actuality) but rather an opportunity to start fresh with some prospect they'll take mid-first round in the 2016 entry draft, and maybe a couple other pieces. Oh well, they're that much close to Connor McDavid anyway.

I was down 4 points to my opponent going into last night. After last night, I'm still down 1 point. I still have faith that I'll get the W though. As long as Benn doesn't have another huge game this week.

It's crazy how it seemed like it was just a shell of a building for so long and then it seemed like it was enclosed overnight.

The hotel part is really starting to come along now too.

Every time I see or here someone talking about "the crane", I think (and laugh) about Ralph Wilson's comment when the Bills in Toronto series was first announced back in 2008.

Sabres Fan Advantage - new (?) Rewards system with the team. Scan barcodes of tickets, merchandise, etc and enter keywords during broadcasts, social media, etc.

Perhaps we can group together to post these keywords when they're said somewhere so all of us can gain points.

I wonder if I can get points off of the 2 games I've already been to. I still have my tickets from them.
