Eichel clearly furious. Said too many guys in the room simply happy to be in the league. Part of the culture that needs change. CLEARLY A TEAM GUY. Ya think guys wanna play with a guy who PUBLICLY through s his teammates under the bus. if that was true don t air dirty laundry. eichal did that. and thems the facts sorry.

Hard to argue, but he's young, competitive and frustrated. poop happens. Would be interested to know who he was talking about and if he ever confronted the player(s) though. To me, and I'm sure I'll be bombarded for this, but not sure moving in with Sam was a good idea. Sam seems like he could fit the description of those comments. Hamster said there was a noticeable difference in his habits from his first 2 years.

Because your not a real fan.......

I guess not. I'm not willing to pay 3x face value for a regular season game on a Tuesday in February...

But I am willing to sell my ticket for 3x face value for a regular season game on a Tuesday in February...

I've never had season tickets.

I've been to many Leafs and Canadiens games where it's half or less Sabres fans and they're honestly my favorite games I've been to aside from the Ottawa brawl game. Except the difference is I go and pay face value or less.

I think ennis/franson/zemgus/Kuli fit that bill more. O'Reilly, Bogo, Okposo, Kane, there's no problem with their work ethic. Bylsma threw Reino under the bus and if he quit on that coach, I don't blame him

clearly Toronto's shadow extends all the way to buffalo. try maybe going to a hockey game when the leafs are in town.

Its crazy. You could go to a David Bowie concert in the 70's and not see as many dudes dressed up in in makeup and wigs as you do when the Leafs come to town. Definitely live up to the reputation.

I owned Stan Smiths (white w green trim) first time around in 1980 and 1982. Now I have them in pure black but with white rubber.

My kid doesn't think I'm cool enough to wear them.

Just looked up the Sabres all time record at home vs. the Leafs. It is astounding.
29-71-6. Complete and utter smokage just like the 99 Conf. Finals.

My point is there are ways to get legitimate tickets, and not scalping, to those games without paying out the nose for them. I have done it many times. That's what makes them suckers. Mainly just lazy though. You usually have to do it quite far in advance. A few times I got them last minute where they've had 2 next to each other.

I have to admit, I was an ECW watcher during the mid 90's.

I still lived at home and came home one night after drinking. I could not believe what I was watching. It was crazy.

I think you mean 129-71-6. Although there should be 4 numbers.

No, 29-71-6 is the Leafs record @ Buffalo.

Yeah, I quoted myself. Deal with it.

The Sabres are 113-67-18-8 all-time against the Leafs.

Ah, you said the Sabres record vs the Leafs in your post's first sentence. And that's still not entirely right because there used to be ties.

Yup, my bad left off the "Leafs are" in front of 29. I was distracted by the dominance.

Make buffalo sports great again.

Tortellini or tacos?

bottom line....both teams zero stanley cups since expansion. thats whats important. ya id not like to have that record against you but it really means nothing in the big picture. i could say leafs have 13 cups 2nd all time in the NHL even with them being mostly horrible for the last 50 years. but thats stupid. whats important is recent stanley cups and sorry the pens and hawks and kings have bragging rights. i finished with settling for mediocrity. for me i believe the leafs organization has truly and really stopped as well. and sabres fans and organization should as well.

One can only hope...

8 pages? wowza. Here goes:

"If something something happened back when Murray something something"

"Evander Kane"

"Something if one of such and such turns into a top-6 player, something something"

"Lehner something"

"A healthy Eichel"

"The defense"

The only teams that are fine with mediocrity are budget teams: see jets, Winnipeg

yes .....yes by all means, the leafs have obviously gotten much worse than last year and the Sabres much much better. should easily knock off the leafs. leafs are definitely trending down. Sabres prospect pool big time deeper. Adding marleau and having liljegren drop to them has obviously sent them spiraling down out of control!!! At least i can objectively say the sabres should be better. provided they avoid the injury pitfalls of last yr. I personally don 't like eichal . nothing to do with him being a sabre or based on his skill. i think hes more of a problem than a help and based on his high skill level. thats saying something. gotta say hes now taken on a lot of responsibility through his actions. its all on him now. and God help him if he doesn't deliver cause i have heard and seen what you sabres fans do to people that don't.
