Oh my. I don't need NY or LA. A nice restaurant to have dinner with my wife, a game, and a good hotel or vrbo. A then a day of skating and shopping for my wife.

Edit: how do homeless make it through the winter?

Curious to hear more about the bolded.

One of my friends would fall under this category, he got us tossed from two bars in 5 minutes, didn't even know that was possible. He's not a starting fights type, every other city I've been to has loved him. Ottawa, not so much.

Every big city is dangerous if you find yourself in the wrong areas at the wrong times. Take Ubers or cabs and be mindful of your surroundings. It really isn't that complicated. We stayed a few blocks from Bank St, reminded me of Delaware Ave.

We didn't go there to party it up till the crack of dawn. The dispensary was our first stop, plus they have delivery. My trips involve more day drinking, in bed by 11 or midnight, and up by 8am feeling great.

What? For the guy who had 4 pts and having a career year (and signed at a decent price for a few more years and loves loves playing in Buffalo) for a guy that might be over the hill? Terrible. Glad you are not the GM (sorry).

How is Ottawa for a weekend? One year, I would like to go to Ottawa, Toronto, and Montreal for road games. One never hears much about Ottawa as a city to spend a couple days in.
- lacaprup


We visited Ottawa about 10 years ago. Actually now that I think about it, watched game 2 of the Sabres-Flyers series from the hotel, so it was actually 11 years ago.

Stayed across the river in Gatineau. Walked around Ottawa and did the whole sightseeing thing. Lots of historic buildings and monuments , kind of like a much smaller DC. Seeing Parliment was pretty cool, as was the science museum. People were friendly on both sides of the river. Definitely an underrated trip.

They do get a little defensive if you say their beer sucks (so I’m told).

The first bar was beer related. We left him at the Airbnb and headed to a nice brewery off of Bank St. We had made friends with a few different groups of people and were enjoying a nice nut brown ale, when he came strolling in and cracked open a bottle of moosehead that he brought with him. I'm not sure if he even got a sip in before they tossed him.

Nice to see the young kids in Rochester keep progressing. Both Coaching Staffs are doing a very good job of teaching and developing these kids. It's pretty wild how many are taking that next step. In 2yrs the Sabres are gonna Steam Roll teams. Speed Forecheck and scoring on every line.

Our offense is not the problem.


It’s goaltending and a top 4 d.

We have 3 out of 4 of our top d pairings.

Joker Lybuskin Bryson Fitzgerald aren’t the answer

Yeah he had the Gordie Howe Hat Trick the other night. If he can push his way and be that 3LW, I would Love it. Kulich can play anywhere.

Murray sucks. Career AHLer.

He skates like he is in cement, not great hands for NHL standards.

No thanks. Let him rot in roch

Why hasnt he gotten a good look?

I know hank baller really liked Murray, now he's leading in scoring and fights.

Maybe it's a numbers game at forward?

My understanding:

Murray worked hard on his skating and has really upped his play? Had some serious skating coaching in the offseason.

Murray = Rochester pylon

That's really the only reason I didn't mention him. Watched a lot of Amerks this year and he is always there, his skating has gotten better the last 2yrs. Just a lot of talent coming

The Sabres have the best offense in the league. Don’t mess with it. Even the players I hate. Keep them.

When Okposo is out of the lineup The giant boat anchor. Olofsson I hate but wouldn’t sit him over Okposo

The Sabres with hinostrosa have 4 fast skating lanes with speed.

Must be a numbers game?

Murray deserves a call up. Maybe when we play a team like Tampa?

Could just be a bit slow for the nhl?
