Kane beating up that Russian panther 3 times in one game is a top-10 drought moment.

He does not, he does have a better GAA though but that is more of a team stat

Hopefully he's working his ass off this summer. Kid has nice natural ability. I don't think he's ever going to be a true 1C but I'd love to be wrong

I heard he can do 2 pull ups now.... That's gotta count for something...

if the kane and lehner trades did not happen


the sabres would have been in the playoffs for the last 4 years


eichel is happy
reinhart is happy

and phil housley is probably still behind the bench

I think we’re contending for a cup if they don’t hire Tim Murray, or if the owners didn’t force him to speed up a rebuild (if they did)

I think a normal GM rebuilds this team the right way

I’m indifferent on Miller

I think Ruff’s system is very strenuous on goalies and Ruff was Miller’s only coach here.

I think he’s in the hall of very good, borderline great

- sbroads24


I think they put his number up in the rafters

But I also think too many numbers are up there as it is

Only 3 Sabres goalies have a better save% than Miller but 2 of them played in less than 30 games (the list has a minimum of 20). The only one better is Hasek

if Horton did not die as a sabre, he is not up there



IMO the other 6 are all worthy

That and Kane's alley-oop pass to Eichel for the OT winner vs Carolina. That era was cursed. It was rumored that he lived in the Harborcenter hotel for most of his entire tenure here. The shower fiasco in Winnipeg should have been an indication

Lafontaine wasn't here long enough IMO

I really think only Hasek and Perrault should be up there, but I understand why the entire French Connection is there. Gare was really good in Buffalo but is he worthy of having his jersey retired? Eh

I guess if you're in the Hall of Fame you have a case so maybe Lafontaine joins Hasek and Perrault

He should let Eichel have the surgery he wants, he will be gone anyway so what's it matter.

I heard a few Murray stories when I was in town last week


let's just say he was not afraid to go bar hopping with fans and keep the party going longer then it needed to go

Lehner is a good goalie, terrible in shootouts but a good goalie.

I've said that from the beginning. But like broads said, Lindy left Miller out to dry post lock out.

Word around town is, he fell in love with a lot of guys on the corner of Allen St. and Elmwood.

Amazing that Eichel isn't a great captain or leader when the players he was surrounded with were compulsive gamblers, abusive to women, drunk driving, alcoholics, etc.

I can't believe how bad they (frank)ed up what should've been a rebuild to a perennial cup contender.

How many times was Bruce Smith arrested for DWI? How many times was he caught asleep at a stop light? He even kept it going in retirement.

It's not the content of their characters, it's the fact that they were losers and management couldn't find their ass with both hands that was the problem.

What if, and hear me out, Jack Eichel is also all of those things?

I'm sure he is, but again, it's irrelevant if management could get their poop together. I must've said it at least 50 times at this point. Winning solves everything.

Ask Homie about Jim Kelly, or better yet, don't. He was also a raging bumhole. It's possible to do well when your best players are right pr¡cks.

The Bills never won a single one of those Super Bowls though.

Are they, quote un-quote, winners? Leave it to Buffalo to worship a bunch of losers who had four, count them FOUR chances to not be... gigantic losers.

They win one of those Super Bowls, your point stands.

Now the Cocaine Cowboys, on the other hand... No one remembers them. Just Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman.

We don't talk about Leon Lett and Don Beebe. We talk about how all of those great Bills players blew it and blew it and blew it and blew it and also lost four Super Bowls in a row.
