To be truthful, you have only watched 2 games during this stretch. Their body of work over the entire 3 weeks encompases more than just 2 games.

What I am saying is there is more fight, more want, in this team than the stretches we have seen during the Housley head coaching years for example. If you cannot recognize that, that's more of a you problem than a me problem. 1 1

Wacka Posted April 2, 2022 Posted April 2, 2022 They are 8-3-3 in March. I think I read 3rd best in the league. They are headed in the right direction.

It is. It needs to continue. You don't wipe away a decade of garbage with 3 weeks of tolerable hockey. Levi is going back to school so he is 2023 at the soonest, more likely 2024. When did Levi say he was going back to NE? The best way to wipe away the past is by moving forward. Did you mourn the Bills playoff drought after they broke it?

This is why I said you don't want both of them coming out of school this year. Portillo's clock is a year ahead of Levi's so, in theory, the Sabres would rather Portillo come out this year and get #1 minutes in Rochester to see what they have and have Levi coming out the following year. If they both come out this year someone is going to Cincinnati and if you are going to Cincinnati you'd might as well stay in school. 1 hour ago, PromoTheRobot said: The best way to wipe away the past is by moving forward.

Did you think the Bills problems were over the multiple times they had a good month over the course of 20 years or did it take a little longer than that?

Hard to compare football to hockey. But if you watch games you can tell if wins are coming from dumb luck or hard work. This Sabres team is starting to come into is own. You don't have to believe it. The bandwagon will always be there. 1

It’s not impossible for things to stall or run into bad luck like injuries but the naked eye can see this team has the beginnings of something and is doing things the right way. A key acquisition or three, a little time and we’re on our way.

One could start-off with the Sabres and the other with the Amerks. But I suppose Levi is waiting on Portillo's season and see what his decision is, before making his.

A. you don't want someone in Buffalo as a backup, you want them getting starters minutes wherever they go. Neither one of them are ready to come in and start on day 1. B. Next year is going to be Lukkonen's turn to start with Anderson as #2 C. I think it's more likely that he's waiting for the delayed World Junior tournament in August. 54 minutes ago, PromoTheRobot said: Hard to compare football to hockey.

They are actually giving night in and night our effort, which is something that has been sorely lacking for a decade. I like the direction they are heading in. 1

Again I look at Josh starting as a rookie on a horrid offense. B. UPL just doesn't have it and Anderson is ancient. Anderson from 5 years ago? Yes please. C. Could be. I have no idea what Levi is thinking.
BillsPride12 Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 The Sabres haven't been winning by dumb luck it's because they have so many talented young players that are clearly developing and getting better and better. Gotta give credit to Donny Meatballs. I think he has done a hell of a job with this group. Don't get me wrong there is still a lot of work left to do but they are trending in the right direction. 1 1
T&C Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 Matinee game at 1pm today... Panthers, the top team in the conference, @ the Sabres. We are 6-1-3 in the last ten games, this is going to be a real challenge. Hope they are still riding the high from Friday night.
TBBills Posted April 3, 2022 Posted April 3, 2022 Sabres might have a chance at this game for the simple fact that the Panthers came back from a 6-1 deficit to win 7-6 in OT. This looks to be a let down game for them. 1
