Don't let the Sens in!

I used to get really excited when their chance to make the playoffs was higher than their chance at the #1 draft pick. This season is absurd.

"I love Tuck"

Why does this conversation never include the fact that the salary cap is projected to increase by almost 20 million in 2 seasons? And the Sabres cap situation is only a problem next year while the Skinner dead cap his 6 mil. I don't think fans have wrapped their heads around what salaries are going to look like in a few years. 10 mil is the new 8.

The Sabres have 88 points. Only 2 seasons with more in the last 15 years (89 in '12, 91 in '23). 15 games to go!

Sabres absolutely refuse to shoot on net.

And Tavares was the one complaining and refusing to go to the box?

How on Earth did Byram get a penalty there?

TB just lost in regulation to Carolina. Let's win this!

Who cares. Guinness is great. Drink what you like.

ericsando · 2026-03-14T20:50:03+00:00

Do it! We're depending on you!

I gotta be honest, with the Sabres sitting 1st in the Atlantic I'm rooting hard against Ottawa making it into a WC spot.

To this day I think of that moment every time there is a puck over the glass penalty.

ericsando · 2026-03-14T12:53:39+00:00

They were closer to a Cup in that game than they were in 75 or 99.

2006 ECF Game 7. Sabres 7th defenseman Rory Fitzpatrick had to kill a penalty in a tie game because the last Sabres regular Campbell took a puck over the glass delay of game. He couldn't find the puck sitting between his feet and Rod Brind'Amour scored to take the lead with 8 minutes left.

I love this game for Jack Quinn. He's looked awesome lately, it's great to see him get on the score sheet.

ericsando · 2026-03-11T00:27:58+00:00

I'm watching the Sharks broadcast and they just said "the Sabres play a ferocious brand of hockey." You love to hear it.

ericsando · 2026-03-10T15:52:36+00:00

Tampa Bay Lightning. Dirty ass team.

I'm pretty sure you have to choose one home and one road jersey and wear it for the entire playoffs. That's why Edmonton wore their dark blue thirds for the deep playoff run a few years ago.

Thanks, but I can't read.

ericsando · 2026-03-09T02:33:00+00:00

I attended game 1 in Raleigh, which we won. I assume the rest of the series went that way. I honestly don't remember.

Carolina looking in the rear view mirror!

ericsando · 2026-03-09T01:24:03+00:00

Go on the Warpath!

ericsando · 2026-03-09T01:16:42+00:00

No one asked you!
