I think we're going to have to wait 2 years for new jerseys to coincide with the 50th anniversary. Maybe get a 3rd next year, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

This is the 49th season according to Sabres Twitter, so next year should be the update for the big 5-0

Sabres twitter can't count.

It's the 48th season because of the lockout missed year. It's kind of weird celebrating 50 years in your 49th year of existence though.

just because they didn't play doesn't mean they ceased to exist.. its 50 years of existence but 49 years of hockey.. i think

They started in 1970, 50 years after 1970 is 2020. It just depends on how you count it. A person would be 50, but a hockey team is 51? Like 17:15 is the 18th minute of play in soccer.

That’s the way I see it. The organization didn’t go away or change in the lockout year, they just didn’t play.

4-2 bruins

Chara, Bergeron, Pasternak (2) score

Berglund, Skinner score.

Hutton has an .895 and 4.00 night, we don't even get to pull the goalie, spending the last minute in our own zone.

Fans boo the team off the ice.

"There' are many reasons to believe they'll make great strides this season, however it probably won't include the playoffs as they look to be a team that will end up in the 84 point range, give or take a few. Anything more than that would be a bonus."

My call is 85 points and 5th in the Atlantic and no playoffs. Pach and I must have been separated at birth.

Yeah, I think they're wearing the Whalers jersey for two games. The third isn't the best, certainly better than the Jets or Islanders though.

Love the green on that Whalers jersey. I don't mind the Isles one. It's pretty clean cut.

Idk what the score is, but Hutton gets a secondary assist on a stretch pass from Dahlin to Eichel

In all honesty, I seriously expect a minimum of an 18-22 point jump from last year. I mean, how can't they? Al the if's are there for all the teams at the beginning of the season. There is a lot to be optimistic about but there are a lot of new faces and it will take time for them to get to know each others tenancies. I expect a slightly rough start will be the reason why this team does not make the post season but I hope they surprise me early and often...
Game night folks - enjoy it!

If we actually get goaltending like that it’s going to be a fun year!

Edit: I know that’s basically in line with what he did last year I just don’t see it.

Yeah, if he plays 50 games, I see .915-.920

If we score some (frank)ing goals, that should be fine

I stand corrected. Can’t believe I forgot that.

If he plays >50 games at 2.10 gaa I think we might be good.

That's why they wanted Eichel to wait until next year to change his jersey number

Melnyk already took care of that. I'm not sure the ROR deal mde us better but the depth looks a lot more solid with Berglund, Thompson, and Sobotka in the lineup. Especially when you consider the only NHL additions the Sens got for Karlsson are Tierney and a borderline top 6 in DeMelo

apparently i'm a little late on this the song aired this morning on gr...however...
