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!
That does not mean it was a crappy game, a poor effort or that they did not win "correctly" (whatever the **** that means).
They beat a very good team. They came off a 7 game road trip, with one day off (which was used for travel) and beat New Jersey.
Is that worth nothing? Really?
It means they gave up a free point and an opportunity to be 2nd in the conference by winning in a SO instead of winning in regulation.
If it were a WC team it wouldn't matter. If it was a team at the bottom of the EC standings it wouldn't matter. But it wasn't- it was the team with whom the Sabres are jockeying for playoff position. This is exactly what I mean when I say Buffalo fans have accepted mediocrity. Giving up points in this situation is not good enough. Not. Good. Enough.
NJ played last night so they were tired too. The BS excuses go both ways.
3rd place in the East, a point out of 2nd, is not "mediocrity".
"'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"
No, mediocre in a conference of 15 is going from 6th to 8th. Or 7th to 9th.

The Sabres coming off a long road trip with very little rest against a very worthy opponent had every reason to lay down and give this game away. Last year this would have been a guarantee that they did that. The game tonight they fought hard as they could with a good honest effort and despite being weary, came out with a shootout win against a future HOF goaltender tonight. I'm happy as hell. I'll take the "W."

AAARRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS NOT ABOUT ACCEPTING MEDIOCRITY!!!!
I hate that. That is such BS. Complete, total BS.
You sound like such an ass when you say that. A complete total ass. I get so sick of it. I really want to tell you to perform an anatomically impossible act, but I will pass.
First off, I already said both teams were tired. Clearly. A number of times. Apparently you are not able to read.
You can ***** all you want. It is threads/posts like this where people get the idea you think the only acceptable outcome for the Sabres is to win all 82 games 5-1.
Can you please give the Devils some credit? Fact is they are a good team and tough to beat. Fact is the Sabres got 2 points and they got 1. If the Sabres do that the rest of the year, they will finish ahead of them.
You are *****ing about the Sabres winning a ****ing game. (Not to mention after you said you were done *****ing).
Is 3rd in the East not good enough for you? Is getting 2 points not better than getting 1? Did you expect this team to be first in the East at this time?
The Sabres are not the only team on the ice.
Give the Devils some credit.
And quit acting like a spoiled brat who would ***** if the team went 16-1 in the playoffs.
