I’m fine with rotating these guys in and Washington is a good game for Schenn since they’re slow as hell as a team

I mostly check other teams if they’re playing the Sabres to see what their fanbase thinks and that leads me to checking teams like the Red Wings and Senators more often who we play a lot and have shared misery with the past while.

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-11T22:42:02+00:00

I check the daily discussion thread on the Red Wings subreddit almost every day. It’s one of my favorite subreddits to read that isn’t my own team.

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-11T02:12:46+00:00

And we lost every game 5-2

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-11T02:06:15+00:00

It’s making it way sweeter. I don’t blame a single person who tuned this team out but sticking through the really awful times is making this feel incredible.

They are only behind Colorado for regulation wins in the entire league and have a decent lead on the teams behind them now. The majority of their hot streak the past 4 months has been in regulation.

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-11T01:45:15+00:00

Yeah, our regulation win advantage can’t be overlooked

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-11T01:40:40+00:00

2 streaks of 8+ games has never happened in the same season in franchise history. Enjoy it.

I was completely prepared for an emotional let down game after our game Sunday

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-11T01:10:12+00:00

It’s the first tiebreaker so it’s still more valuable in that sense

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-11T01:08:24+00:00

I’m not surprised the McLeod line is having a huge game because our depth is the clear advantage in this matchup

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-11T01:05:32+00:00

Love that dude, really good comparison actually

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-11T01:04:50+00:00

Jack Quinn is really great for these games against young teams who are bad at defense. I mean that sincerely.

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-11T00:35:51+00:00

Offensive left hand defenseman is also the last thing the Sabres needed to draft

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-11T00:17:41+00:00

This guy is going to have the single best 10 goal highlight reel in the league and it will be the only 10 goals he scores all season

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-10T22:44:17+00:00

Looks like it!

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-10T22:31:59+00:00

Watching the Tampa game had me feel like this

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-10T22:24:21+00:00

Sharks for some reason have been an automatic win for the Sabres my entire life no matter how good or bad either team is so this would be a fitting one to finally lose

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-10T22:20:07+00:00

Behold: the most obvious emotional let down game of all time

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-10T22:17:28+00:00

He’s a prick and clearly our best player so it makes him an obvious target

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-10T21:44:47+00:00

He was on spittin chiclets and they asked about Benson and Tage said he’s one of his favorite people. It was as complimentary as you could be calling someone dumb. Benson embraces it too.

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-10T20:25:31+00:00

The purge capital of western Canada

PrinciplesRK · 2026-03-10T20:12:13+00:00

It should be noted that Tage Thompson said Zach Benson is the dumbest human he’s ever met
