GDT: Game 17/82 Blues @ Buf 6:30PM CST ESPN/HULU

Then why do you still do it? I mean it is by definition trolling. You are going into an opposing team's forum, right after a loss, to poke fun at that team about the loss. Take away the picture, and it's clearly trolling.

Because it's just competitive jeering and a little trash talk is fun with other fans. Also Blues are a team I normally watch in the playoffs anyways. Some of the GameDay on this forum are only 3ish pages and site could use more interaction. If anything it's poking fun at buffalo because we are historically bad like how could lose to a team this bad. Just my opinion

Buffalo isn't historically bad though. We are an objectively worse team right now.

But Buffalo is better than we are this year. It's not like we are the top team in the league and we lost to the worst as a speed bump on an otherwise smooth road. We are down, we are suffering terrible injuries, we blew that game, then you came along in what could be viewed as kicking us while we are down.

I don't personally care. I want us to lose for higher pick. But the site has these rules for a reason. Inter-fanbase jeering is against the rules because a lot of people do get upset.

You do you. I just don't get it

Most of us are with you and appreciate the post.

Fun is discouraged here.

Not hating, but I honestly didn't get the joke. Why is it an anime girl? Why is it OK for an opposing fan to come troll our fanbase after a win? Maybe these questions answer them selves. It's OK to troll opposing fan bases as long as you also include an anime girl?

Regardless, not seeing the humor there. Again, not hating. I wasn't mad when I saw it, just confused. Guess I'm an old stick-in-the-mud or something.

I thought it was funny and welcomed the levity. I don't think he trolled us at all because, ultimately, this was a massive rip on the Buffalo Sabres; his favorite team.

Plus the anime girl has giant boobs!!! What's not to love?!?!?!?

Thanks for humoring the post guys. Most mods insta delete it and warn me for trolling.

In the interest of transparency, I considered deleting it immediately but I wanted to see some reactions from our board in case my first instinct was an overreaction. I thought it was in good fun and it seemed most others did so I left it.

That’s exactly what I thought you would do and was gonna post that.

Our Mods will check the reactions first, which were overwhelmingly positive.

Thank you, Mook! HF appreciates this.

You’re not an Avalanche fan so by default you’re alright

Only Ref Jose is worse than us. Maybe Refhawks too.

One rule of comedy is that explaining the joke basically never makes it better or funnier. It's basically absurdist as well as self-deprecating on the part of Buffalo, but you're probably going to have the same reaction as initially. It doesn't suit your taste, which is fine, but it did provide me and some others a bit of levity.

We need a couple more offer sheets this offseason.

I don’t mind Bannister right now because I don’t see that the coach matters at the moment beyond developing young guys, but if Montgomery ends up back in St Louis Id be thrilled.

I think we need a top 5 pick more than a couple of offersheets. I love the two that Armstrong did. But I think our depth is pretty well rounded out and it's a hope that Holloway sticks as a top 6 forward, I see him more as a really good 3rd liner that can jump up and compliment if needed - although that is truly a win as well.

If Broberg can continually play as well as he did to start the season I retract this point.

I’m a Sharks fan now. All those losers from back then are gone. New regime. Good stuff. I thought they’d give up fewer goals and it looks like their GA rate is lower than last year.

Yes.

I think @Stupendous Yappi was maybe just joking??

OS are rare and we never hear about them until maybe way after the offer was made, but I'm very curious how prevalent they are. We really don't know.

I’d bet he was as well. I just wanted to moreso point at us needing top end talent on this roster more than anything.

Realistically I think a top end puck possession defender really changes the outlook of this roster around. I still don’t think we have that in the system. I’m pretty optimistic about our chances of rounding out a d core around that.

Totally!

I am in full tank mode and want DA and his team to go full turd. There is no reason to not further expedite the re-whatever with a top-5 pick. A center or a defenseman. Not a winger.

Perron and ROR were puck possession specialists who each drove the play in their own way. We need at least one guy for that, two is better. Pecarcik might end up being one of our future creators.

It's funny because it's self deprecating humor because Buffalo f***ing sucks and he as a fan of Buffalo knows that and yet we sucked so bad we still lost to them.

I would watch Buffalo in the playoffs if they were ever in the playoffs.
