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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

we gave them a point with one of the worst pp's I've ever seen and a lackluster 3rd period. You say they took it- I say we shouldn't let then take it.
And you have a selective memory for victories. For example, we are 1-2 against the caps. Just because we beat them once doesn't mean we don't struggle against them.
you know...if Mods could receive points for breaking the ToS it would be worth it just to tell you that you are just an *******.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

Do you have the other top teams records against playoff teams?
Saying they struggle against these teams is not exactly accurate. They are examples of good teams playing each other.
And, yes as we have said countless times it was a bad PP. NJ also had a PP that they did nothing on too. Each team had one PP in the game. Neither scored on it. That is even.
And the 3rd was not lackluster. But you made up your mind and are not listening to other viewpoints.
I think it is odd that somebody like Bucky Gleason, hardly a homer, can be impressed with the win and you think it was the worse thing to happen in the history of the Sabres franchise (intentional hyperbole - calm down)
i think the point of the post is that after a season of unwatchable bills football, combined with an often-seen promising start by the sabres, if we end up getting booted in the first round because we left points on the ice for others to capitalize on and not take advantage of a long season, i'm going to be nearly suicidal.
The Sabres could totally make up for the bills patheticness. They could make me remember what it's like to have a team that is on a beautiful run.
The sabres have looked good, but lets be honest, they aren't scoring in bunches. Vanek is invisible....yes they are winning, but they aren't showing signs that they are an elite team. Sure, they say they could win every game and its just mistakes, but a dominant elite team would get those points.
In some ways, i'm praying that the sabres are just waiting to peak at the right time, unlike a couple years ago where they came out super hot and slowly faded.
If miller has an awesome olympics, the stage is set for the team to have a red hot goalie. They just need to win with Lalime so that he isn't over worked and over exhausted by June!
Having a good overall record but struggling against the better teams is simply not good enough.
Name for me a team that does not "struggle against the better teams".
"'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.'"

I'm not listening to other viewpoints because i know what I saw. I saw a team losing battles along the boards, turning the puck over, being unable to solve njs trap and generally lacking urgency as time wound down.
Nothing you or anyone else says is going to change what I saw.

Except they outshot New Jersey and neither team did anything that period. Both teams were weak and tired.
I really don't think you saw the entire period or you only picked out the bad parts for the Sabres.
And the Sabres were better in overtime, that much was clear.
Being better in OT is too late- nj already had their point. I missed the first few min but I saw the majority. With 3 min left in the game, the Sabres only had 5 shots. Fiv shots in roughly 17 minutes. How is that not lackluster?
And the number of shots nj had is irrelevant. It doesn't give the sabres an excuse to be mediocre.

The 3rd period could have been the worst period of hockey by two NHL teams ever. It took about 30 minutes to play. I didn't move once. My BP never got over 90/50. My wife thought I was in a coma.

Not it is not irrelevant.
It is quite relevant when it comes to the pace of the game and how it was played. Both teams were in lockdown mode and were playing tired, slow, boring hockey.
Besides, since NJ was just as bad are you thinking they are done as well?

Slow?? Boring?? Dinosaur remains were turning to coal and oil faster.

I don't watch NJ enough to know.
But I watch a lot of Sabres (thanks to bootleg internet feeds, usually). And I see a team that doesn't play full games. I see a team that can't run a quality PP. I see a team that lacks a true scorer. I see a team that relies far too much on the goalie. I see a team that responded to a poor road trip by giving up a point and missing a chance to be tied (points-wise) for 2nd in the conf.
Does NJ have the same problems? Maybe- I don't watch them enough to know. I do know that NJ was good enough to retain their lead in the standings over the Sabres last night, even if they did lose the game.

I could have predicted that.
