Aussie Joe Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 Are the Sabres actually improving this year? Must have missed the news about the Pegulas selling the team.. 2 3
VaMilBill Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 Buffalo deserves one team to be good. I don’t follow hockey but are the sabres good?

They are showing signs of progress. Could be a fringe playoff team this year. Should only continue to keep getting better each year from here on out.
boater Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 The Sabre youngsters are finally growing up. At the same time, the "system" coach appears to be having success. (I do not like system coaches) I'd say the Bill's are two years from rookie impact, two years from coaching impact. I know that timeline will burn the britches of many.. too bad, the truth can hurt.

Its a shame so many of you don't watch or follow hockey. IMO its the best sport out there. With Sabres looking like they are turning it around this season, I wish more Bills fans would pay attention to the other team in town.

Honest question- If not a system coach , what type of coach is there? don't all coaches try to implement their own system?
MJS Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 Sabres are currently in a four-way tie for second place in the Atlantic Division with 16 points, although the Sabres have played more games than the other three. Still, they are looking a lot better this year. They are getting competent goalie play from Hutton and Ullmark, and the offense looks good. Defense is still an issue, though.
Doc Brown Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 Skinner looks good. Let's get this guy locked up long term. 4

US Egg Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 I've already watched the Sabres more this year than the last 3 seasons combined. Be it maturation or fresh talent, or both, this team appears to be able to compete. 2

And only one freaking point out of first!

The nice thing is that they have been competing even in their losses. Before tonight they lost 3 straight, but took 2 of them to overtime. They have had a couple bad games, but most of them have been competitive even when losing. Edited November 3, 2018 by MJS

That right there is why I think so many are negative about the rebuild of the Bills. Most expected they would be bad but were expecting to be competitive and they are far from it.

Yeah and in hockey the teams still have long term control over young players and there is no positional comp to QB............so tanking can still potentially pay off huge. The teams to beat in the NHL in recent years have been the Blackhawks and Penguins and both were built around top of the draft selections.......that fact bodes well for the Sabres who've been stocked by half a decade of playing utter unwatchable hockey After having paid the long term price of losing hockey......hopefully we get to enjoy some Stanley Cup wins before the NHL gets out of the stone age. 2
BillsFan4 Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 The Sabres are playing some good hockey so far this season. There are going to be ups and downs because they have ave a lot of young guys in the lineup as well as a lot of new faces. But they are finally a fun team to watch again! They are actually doing doing the things successful hockey teams do. This truly looks like a different team compared to years past. It’s exciting. 33 minutes ago, MJS said: The nice thing is that they have been competing even in their losses. Before tonight they lost 3 straight, but took 2 of them to overtime.

They now have points in 6 of their last 7 games and were on a 5 game point streak up until Thursday.

I have always been a huge Sabres and hockey fan but I couldn't waste my free time watching the last few years.
