I got free tickets somehow, so I'll see them live tonight.
Any other year I'd be incredibly excited.

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

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).

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.

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

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

Our PP has been an unmitigated disaster. At this point we should be trying anything and everything.

Makes no sense to win this one. So they’ll be at their most dangerous tonight.
I joked they should put a PP out of the 4th line, Greenway and Clifton after game 1 because they, at least, were trying out there. I have now moved towards treating it as a serious suggestion.
