All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
If they played a full three periods of hockey. Have they ever done that? I know they are are leading the division and still getting points, so I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but this is going to come back and bite them someday. If it wasn't for Miller playing out of his mind until the rest of the team finally wakes up every game this team would be in bad shape. Just saying.
Just think how good this team would be if we had anyone who could score a goal?!?!?! I mean i love the team effort to get it done each game but we are going to need someone to lean on down the stretch....

Isn't it possible that no teams play flawless 3 periods each and every game?

it's not about being flawless- it's about putting in the effort and avoiding the really big mistakes. And it's not about doing it every single game- it's about doing it more often than not.

This team constantly fails on both accounts.
Pretty sure most teams fall into the same category.
they'll make the playoffs, but in their current form i have very little hope they are stanley cup contenders. This team has solid regular season crap out early in the playoffs written all over it IMO.
Why this team cannot put together 60 minute games more consistently is a huge head scratcher
“You hold a players only meeting and get each guy to stand up and say what he can bring to the table... and if he doesn't, you punch him in the face.” ~~ Harry Neale, on how to fix the Sabres season.
To say this team is not a cup contender is ridiculous. The ****ty teams that we lose to WONT be in the playoffs.. just remember that.
well at this point if they do not make a key change / addition then I stand by my assessment that they will be out of the playoffs no later then round #2
I can just tell by what I see when I do get a chance to watch them...
If Ray Emery was our goalie, we'd be out of the playoffs already.
Thankfully, that's not the case.

why do you say that? Like Thurm said, we're 10 points up in the division. We play a lot of middle-of-the-road teams. When the playoffs come, that's not going to happen. We're going to have to win 4 of 7 games against someone like Brodeur, Crosby, or Ovechkin (quite possibly 2 of the 3 depending on how the playoffs go) in order to be Cup contenders.
I've seen NOTHING from this team to suggest they have the offense to keep up with any one of those teams over the course of a 7 game series, not to mention lesser teams like Ottawa and Atlanta that always seem to give us fits as well.
If that player is the goaltender and that goaltender has a great playoffs then that really helps. The Sabres are right there competing to lead the league in points right now. How you can complain about that I don't know.
