There were many. I do recall.

Who would have thought relying on a 40 YO who hadn’t played in essentially 2 years was a bad idea.

It was a great idea, losing is winning.

I was on the fence going to see them in carolina

The Sabres are the winningest team since 2014 then.

Just need to tank for 3 more seasons.

2026 will be our year.

I’ll be raptured by then but whatever

My Thanksgiving wish: Dylan Cousins starts the game by punching Marchant in the face. Imagine if we werent the victimized team for once. Imagine one of our players not being the guy picking himself off the ice after getting scummed. Ideally DC is a badass 3rd line center for us. This is part of the learing curve. If we're not making the playoffs punch a weasel in the face.

Post-rapture obstruction calls will indistinguishable from current officiating. There might be slightly more stabbing though

1 more year

then it gets better

in theory

- homiedclown


Fingers crossed
Although i do think next year will be very up & down with all the kids expected to make the team

And goalie could still be a big question mark if we can’t bring in someone significant
I’m still hopeful for UPL, but idk that he’ll be ready to be our starter next year
He’s struggled a bit to start this season

I expect a RD
a proven goalie

and either a top 6 center or winger in the offseason

maybe I am an optimist

Making competent trades to better the roster.

Not saying sell the farm but look for guys that teams need to move on from due to cap space.

That would really be something.

I’d be surprised if the Bills didn’t win comfortably.
