GDT: Stars at Sabres, 7 PM ET, October 22, 2024

[Gabrielor]

I got free tickets somehow, so I'll see them live tonight.

Any other year I'd be incredibly excited.

Stars are rolling. Sabres can't keep the puck out of their own net.

Inexplicable victory is assured.

Maybe. It's just hard to believe with all our high picks Dallas has retooled so much faster.

Emjoy. Can't beat free tickets. Let's hope that we play up to the competition.

Their strategy of hiring competent non idiots appears to be successful, maybe one day the Sabres will do likewise (probably on the 10th of Never).

That'll be Nevuary.

Man, those jerseys were an eyesore

I have a Sluggalo scoreboard clock that I purchased from the Sabres Store back in 2007, and despite the potential of being a cool thing to have in my workout room, I refuse to hang it. I don't want to sell or donate it, as no one likes that logo. It instead remains in some sort of stasis, simultaneously existing and non existing in a box in the basement. In truth, it's an apt metaphor for my fandom.

When did they re-tool? From 2016-2018 they were a decent team that got a little unlucky then moved up 5 places in the draft and got very lucky to select 3 all-stars.

They didn't trade away anyone of note.

The Stars were able to do a few things the Sabres haven't been able to:

1) They have a top forward they drafted back in 2007 (Benn) who is a great leader and for a long time was a great player
2) Their big splash trade (like us and O'Reilly) actually stayed and has been a productive player - Seguin
3) They insulated their team with aging star vets like Duchene and Pavelski
4) They drafted incredibly well from 2016-2020 (IDK if you saw my post about the Sabres drafting during that period.... it's not good). They have Miro, Oettinger, Hintz, Robertson from they period leading their team
5) Oh, and they also drafted Stankoven and Johnston recently.

The Stars are a model franchise.

Don't mind seeing Krebs on the second PP unit. The kid has deserved it.

No ... are we doing this again? This is Johan Larsson all over again .. except Larsson was an effective player.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Hide the Ambien. No Home Hangovers tonight!

[SwordsgoneWild]

I just want to know one thing - is tonight the night that we finally net one of those fabled PPG?

+11 GSAV in 6 games, mother of....

 

[JLewyB]

Im feeling better about this team after a bit of a break which means they are going to lose

[Bobby Bottle Service]

Are we facing Otter in the first period... or chase their backup and see him in the 2nd?

Goal tending can make you or break you.
