Comment of the day on twitter just now:

"Yeah cause the anti-tankers are going to remember this win for decades. Instant classic .

Im out guys. See you next game.

Chicago plays tomorrow and is starting Crawford so i am guessing we will face the backup against them on Friday

That scenario was without mceichel. Strome is not playing next year. we were still a bottom feeder even with pysk. So we win 5 more games with him and kane. That is still bottom 3

Conveniently skipped over a few points and picked 2 but whatever agree to disagree. ....But they won't be competing for last place next season.

Yes. You're supposed to like having watched the worst team in hockey history 2 years in a row while having one of the richest owners in sports. You're not supposed to like McDavid or Eichel. You should be glad Leino was a bust. You should be happy we let our captains go on 7-1-07 and you should agree with No Goal. You should be ok with no Cups ever while lame places like Dallas, Carolina and Aneheim have them. AREN'T YOU A REAL FAN?

Kind of how you conveniently said we would have mcheichel when my post was all about one of them not on the team.... yes without one of them we will. What teams will be worse????? Arizona? They will have a mceichel. Edmonton? They will be better than us. Toronto? Probably them and NJ. We will be bottom 3

Nolan just said that Matt Ellis is an important part of this team!!!
GOD, I can't take this anymore!!!

If you're on the waiting list for season tickets get ready to buy them next year. If the Sabres blow this there will plenty available. (I for one will be giving mine up). This team was upset about people cheering for fans being excited about having a chance at getting a great player? There gonna show us. F----- them. F Weber, F-ing baby.
We fans have to sit back and watch players leave here for bigger money and we have to understand. God forbid, after all the suffering we have gone through, something good could happen here. So tonight we watch Dalphe and Ellis, two guys that wont be in the league next year, F up our chances of a SUREEEEEEE thing if we finish last. Oh boy we beat the SH-tty Leafs in a meaningless game. This is pathetic.

They won cups before Crosby. They won a cup with Crosby. They've won cups. We haven't. Period. If you aren't interested in Stanley Cups I can't imagine why you bother having a favorite team.
- Buffalo-Sabres

How do you get that I'm not interested in having the sabres win cups? Either way this team has acquired good young talent the last two years. Id love one of McDavid or Eichel on this team. Im also not gonna lose my freaking mind if we dont and act like this team will never win a cup without them. So if we dont get one of those two are you going to quit watching hockey? Pick a new team? If you dont want to see your favorite team beat their biggest rival and still be in last place why do you have a favorite team?

Personally speaking yes, if we don't get top 2 then I am done with hockey.

Never said that. ...hence the word POSSIBLY before I referenced any one of the 4 centers we may or may not end up with. McEichel or not this team will be drastically different next year.

Again agree to disagree. We can revisit this next season.

This happens and you're talking about trade value for Hodgson? Hodgson isn't worth poop. He would get us a 4th rounder at best.
- Buffalo-Sabres

Right now he would
If he gets back to scoring 20goals we should be able to get something like a 2nd for him at least
And of course I'm pissed we won tonight & pretty nervous, but what's there to really talk about?
How the lotto is somehow rigged?
That's dumb IMO

So what teams do you have worse than buffalo if we draft 3rd?

Can someone make me feel better about this win? People on social media are acting like the Sabres got moved to Las Vegas.

What a joke. Yeah tonight's game, such an important win. I'm sure we'll all talk about it for years just like when the Sabres came back in game 5 against the Rangers in the dying seconds of game 6. The Leafs are laughing all the way to the Bank of Mcdavid on this one.

Cool.

Thanks.

I'll take them.

Sucker

Wait, Can you really blame us here?????
- Sabresfan88

I can and I will. This was our highest probability win. We faced a team that had it not been for an early season run would be worse off than us in the standings.

Until they actually miss out on mceichel the panicking is nothing more than wasted energy.

I'm not giving up my seats because the team is headed in the right direction regardless. I want McEichel but to give up on the franchise or hockey over a player is ridiculous. I don't understand why people thought 30th was a guarantee.

- SabresNHL

Yes. We will get a top player in 2016 draft when we suck again next year missing out on mcheichel. We will have a good team in 3-4 years to look forward to though

Sucker
- Jerry1964

Why? There's a waiting list for seasons. Give em up. Who gives a (frank)? This team will be good again. And I'll be there to watch em and cheer for em. Take your puck and go home. Big deal.

Good for you.
I will see you CRY in here when we actually do miss out on these 2 generational players.

The argument im guessing is that after 2 seasons like this "good" isn't good enough.

Agree. I joined the waiting list once we hit 8 points down thinking I wanted to be in ASAP in case we get McEichel. Not only would I have a good ticket but they would also be great in the resale market to make money. If I was a current holder and had to pay for this poop the last 2 years to NOT get a generational talent I would feel flat out robbed. Plus they raised prices doing it. They CAN still land McEichel, but if they don't, it will be another brick in the wall of what has been an embarrassing ownership stint by Pegula.
