More importantly, if you were Levi, would you sign? 2 more years in school and you get to walk out as a 22 y/o free agent and pick your spot. And lose two years of earnings, not to mention push your pro free agency down two more years. Then there's the risk of injury or just falling off in play. All for what? Not playing in Buffalo? You wouldn't want to be part of this squad? Especially with goalie as the biggest hole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tage Thompson’s game-winner with 11.3 seconds left was one of the craziest goals I’ve ever seen. Tage didn’t see it as he was headed back to the bench for a new stick after he broke his on the shot. Wild. Then the Chicago goalie went all Jack Nicholson with his stick against the goal post. 😂 Edited March 29, 2022 by Warcodered 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no competition at goalie right now in Buffalo and they just might be turning the corner to adequacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will open the door to the possibility of change and improvement. For the last many years the only franchise as bad as the Sabres has been Ottawa.

Wow, I thought I was the only one that had that early childhood memory. I thought I was getting away with something but I know my Dad was laughing outside the door going "attaboy". 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So grateful to be in attendance and get to witness it but I am so sad the time has finally come for RJ to step down. He is really the last sports icon that has been around since my childhood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were itching to sign you'd think he'd have done it already or would do it soon so he could get on the ice this year and toll the year off his entry contract.

BillsFan4 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) Another total horse **** shootout attempt to end the game. Blake Wheeler was pretty much going backwards by the end of that attempt! Ridiculous that stuff like that is allowed.

Rick Jeanneret's final month with the Buffalo Sabres after 51 years starts Friday night. That statement alone is hard to process. The man everyone calls "RJ" won't be behind the microphone once the game against Nashville starts, but he'll have his turn before any pucks are dropped because this night will be for him. A full house in the stands – something we haven't seen since before the pandemic – will be there to greet him. So will many prominent Sabres alumni. We haven't had too many memorable moments downtown over the last decade, but RJ Night figures to be one of them. The Sabres will host a pregame ceremony in honor of their retiring legend and will unveil a banner in the KeyBank Center rafters that will stand forever as a testament to his amazing career. More in the article above. This is going to be one hell of a Friday night... I wish I could get one of those RJ banners they are handing out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that doesn't mean it's an official sell-out yet. I know as of today it was pretty close, I would imagine by puck drop we will be there. Kinda similar to how there were doubts the Patriots playoff game would be a sellout but once it got closer toward gameday there was no doubt.
