This was mentioned multiple times during postgame player and coach interviews. I think they should all get a patch for attending this game You could see it on their faces during the stick salute. Those thing always seem so phony and forced to me, but that one last night was 100% genuine.

Buffalo is a great sports town with passionate fans so to see a small crowd for the opener is surprising despite the Sabres struggles.

That’s what “earning it” looks like and it looks like KA and Donnie Meatballs have these guys buying into that mantra. I haven’t seen Okposo move like that since his Islander days. If he keeps that up, he’s gonna have a monster year. I worry about his health though. 1
eball Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 I watched the game last night and it felt like a new era. Really bummed about Mitts and Joki. Losing them both for a couple of weeks sucks. 2
BillsFan4 Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 Maybe Don Granato really is the right guy to get this turned around. I sure hope he is. 3
bigduke6 Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) was a big Sabres fan for years, last few have sucked the wind outta me. i really started to dislike the team, Eichel, etc. what i saw last night has me interested again. not just cuz of the win, but they played friggen hard, they earned that win. dunno if the Habs are good or not, ive heard theyre expected to be a bottom 10 team. regardless, Sabres put in that kinda effort night after night, they will win the fans back. cautiously optimistic. also, very happy for Okposo, he seems to have found the fountain of youth. hes been a whipping boy for a few seasons, rightfully or not. still happy for him.

I really wish his play on the ice came anywhere near the heart and character he has always shown. Hopefully he can stay out there for most of the season. 1

They already did their job flushing Botterill out. Fixing the team is not a flipping a switch. Just be patient. 1

So there’s at least somewhat of a chance for you there. And by the way, I’m just as clueless on the list as you are. My personal favorite on the list is Rasmussen Dahlin.

It’s also on MSG (at least in the local market). BTW, did you see this? https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/buffalo-sabres-national-tv-schedule-2021-22-espn-hulu-tnt/c-326166946 there are 8 Sabres games that will appear exclusively on ESPN+/Hulu. So even if you get MSG or NHL network, or you pay for ESPN with your cable subscription, you won’t get those games. That’s some BS.

That deal actually helps the team at this point.
T&C Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 I'm not used to seeing that many empty seats in the lower levels.

Upon further review, I realize I know the Proclaimers song, but only since I first heard it linked to the Molson Canadian commercial. The only one I truly knew was 'You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet', BTO, a staple of Canadian classic rock, and only a half step behind 'Takin' Care of Business', which is a staple at Canadian wedding receptions. 😁 Edited October 16, 2021 by Ridgewaycynic2013
