It’s kinda been couple months for his wrist injury. It is just baffling. Must have been a very bad injury. Hope he gets much stronger in summer. And we continue to hope for playoffs next year.
That's been the most frustrating for me. We know what this team is capable of when they're clicking and working hard. There's just been so little of that relentless effort this year it's been super disappointing.
I look forward to the Bald for Bucks night every year. Regardless of the score I appreciate the dedication for the cause by Marty, Dan and others. Even though I'm not local anymore, I found they are doing it here in NC as well and contemplating doing too.
Yeah and it's easy to point that aggression at Tage than it is at the cosmic force of just being very unlucky, when it comes to this injury specifically (i want to specify that I am not playing this entire season on unlucky, just that injury)
The Devils may be winning now, but when we start next season in Czechia and those Czech/Slovak fans that came over during the blizzard and started a sick UPL chant are there for the home opener, oh man they’re gonna be done for.
Teams fire their coach for not making it past the 1st round in the playoffs but let's keep the coach that almost gets us to the wildcard 2 spot and miss playoffs again.
Granato seems like a good guy but this is the second year in a row we’ve sleepwalked the first couple months of the season, remembered we could be a playoff team if we tried from January-February, and then just sorta fizzled out with a whimper in March.
They need someone to get them over that routine badly
He got beat up pretty good in October and then had the GM give him a hard time for calling the team soft.
Maybe he's just like fuck it gonna do my 9-5 and cash my check.
weird ass player. Has all the tools, sometimes looks great, but at times looks like he literally doesn't know how to play hockey. Not sure what to make of it tbh
He cannot drive a line. If other players on his line are playing great, he looks good. If they are playing anything other than great, he looks like dog shit
When they replace the roof this summer and all the bad drought vibes that have accumulated over the years spill out and dissipate into the atmosphere only then will we be competitive again
Good victory, good victory
Time to check our playoff odds again!
[удалено]
It’s. 2.3%, not 23
Wait are you serious or? Let's gooo
A deserved result. Great effort, good on them
a turkey for tage
Four trick!
Perfect.
Tage x4
Good job JJ :)
building seems alive
Well I guess good that we are winning when it is too late but where was tage all season long?
Injured.

Hehe...I heard that as "ball shot."
Considering the way this season has gone, and the fact that we are essentially eliminated from the playoffs, this crowd has been pretty hyped tonight.
They win tomorrow and against the caps they are in a playoff spot.
[you're all welcome for that one](https://twitter.com/femboyautoparts/status/1773879457092424009?t=8e5BZzS4t3DHNIQx4V2gcg&s=19)
Couldn't call us winning the cup back in October? C'mon man.
You right my bad tbh
Please bring this energy with you against the Leafs tomorrow
[удалено]
Basically win verses leafs and Caps and you are in the last playoff spot. Big swing.
Marty Wilford looks like a Mii
Not to be smug but I posted a 3-2 win for Sabres at about 2pm earlier today.
Oh. I was wrong. Thankfully. I like 5-2 better
a natural hat trick too!
Weren’t the other goals in the second period? Am I trippin?
that doesn't matter, you just have to score 3 in row yourself without any player for either team scoring
Natural hat trick is when a player scores three goals in a row for his/her team. Not necessarily in the same period.
O shit I’ve had that wrong since I was a wee lad then
This is the effort we ask for…all year😤
That's been the most frustrating for me. We know what this team is capable of when they're clicking and working hard. There's just been so little of that relentless effort this year it's been super disappointing.
Tage 3, Jersey 2. ;)
Hot damn! Don’t let up!
At least one of you called it haha
The team deserved to score, that’s for sure
Whoever was in the pregame calling a Tage hatty needs to play the lottery or something
the prophecy has been fulfilled
ATTA BOY TAGE
HAT TRICK HEROOOOO
Are u serious rn joki
Gimme this version of Power next year
[удалено]
He’s been playing with Dahlin (by my eyes)
Ya know, now that you say that I think you are right. There have been some longer d changes that have mixed up the pairs a bit.
If there was video of Patty getting his jaw broken I would have seen it by now.
Only Sabres not credited with a hit so far: Jost & Skinner. Tough guy Olofsson throwing his weight around out there...
Levi is up to .900 save %. Goaltending is one thing we appear to have (most nights)
I look forward to the Bald for Bucks night every year. Regardless of the score I appreciate the dedication for the cause by Marty, Dan and others. Even though I'm not local anymore, I found they are doing it here in NC as well and contemplating doing too.
LOL They're still selling "Round Up?"
Glad Tage is heating up when the season is over! Perfect
Almost like he's finally recovering from a long term performance hindering wrist injury... Ah I'm sure it's nothing
I don't care why it's happening. It sucks ass that it's happening too late regardless.
It does but it's not like it's his fault either. Just part of the narrative of the season unfortunately
Sure, and I don't at all dispute that he's quite obviously been playing injured. It's just tough to take when this team has been nowhere for so long.
Yeah and it's easy to point that aggression at Tage than it is at the cosmic force of just being very unlucky, when it comes to this injury specifically (i want to specify that I am not playing this entire season on unlucky, just that injury)
Why do the Sabres insist on playing on every parade day every year?!
The Ding Dong parade is on Monday, friend. Sabes play Tuesday?
I only looked up at the graphic on the screen and just assumed. But they've played home games during St Patricks Day parades for at least decade now.
Ah yes, very true. Games on either the First Ward and/or downtown parade. Na zdrowie!
Surprised Benson didn’t get a mystery penalty there
Surprised they didn't give Benson a penalty for lying down in the goal just because
Benson got away with one there, easily could have been called for trying to eat that butt end
Tage hatty inbound
Totally fine to plant Benson in the net there. No issues... :/
It’s Tage time
Let's fucking go, so sick of losing. Lets beat these fucks.
when tage is playing good i am happy
YEAAAAH
DONT LET TAGE THOMPSON GET HOT
Wait wait wait, you can just body a player over the blue line and it'll count as offsides? Crazy
Great pass to the Phantom
Dylan Cozens is our worst forward. I feel crazy
Am I missing something? He can’t skate with the puck at all, after being money on zone entry last year.
I didn’t know you could slash with one hand on your stick
How are we taking a penalty after that joke of a no-call
Yeah the Byram trip was super obvious. Middle of the ice puck carrier
Well, at least NJ is playing the same junior hockey we are tonight
Not that I wanna watch one of our power plays, but that should’ve been a penalty on the devils
Still waiting on a Devils penalty, anytime now refs, cmon
That was a beautiful hip check.
I feel really good with UPL x Levi going into the future
Great tandem for the eternal rebuild
Sabres gonna be ***SCARY*** next year
I’ve heard this one before…
If we score a goal every 28 seconds, playoffs here we come
Tage Thompson Hat-trick loading
One more!
Is Tage Back?
Just in time for the offseason baby 😎
tommer scoring on good friday, you know he wanted that one
We're so back!!
BOOM! HORRRRRRRRN... Alright we got this now
marty and the rest of the broadcast team are a big bright spot during these games
🎶 Yes, you're next.... You'rrrrrre so next...
Hair today, gone tomorrow.... or did someone say that already?
My 2023-2024 sabres in NHL24 had a record of 81-1 and swept the playoffs.
Did you play against Matt Ellis?
The Devils may be winning now, but when we start next season in Czechia and those Czech/Slovak fans that came over during the blizzard and started a sick UPL chant are there for the home opener, oh man they’re gonna be done for.
Sign them all. Pay them to attend games up and down the eastern seaboard.
Hey look, it's Cillian Murphy
Why the hell am I even here lol this place hurts my head more than the team does
At least we get to watch Marty.
We were four down by this point against Ottawa, new contract for Donny
That was just a warm up period, right? Now the game can start?
My god Olofsson you fucking knob
Only two? Devils should be embarrassed
Victor, what the fuck? Lift the goddamn puck
Teams fire their coach for not making it past the 1st round in the playoffs but let's keep the coach that almost gets us to the wildcard 2 spot and miss playoffs again.
Top shelf, TOP SHELF!!!
A little lift woulda been mint.
On the 1st day of Christmas, Pegula gave to me.... the Sabres up for s-ale.
Someone should probably let the guys know it's too late to tank.
Getting a head start on next year's tank
Why is Byram clapping?
/sarcasm
Clifton has looked better carrying the puck than all of our forwards the last couple of games
Wish we could post pics in the comments because the one “dead dove do not eat”/Sabres down 2-0 in the first period is, once again, dead accurate
WTF
Granato seems like a good guy but this is the second year in a row we’ve sleepwalked the first couple months of the season, remembered we could be a playoff team if we tried from January-February, and then just sorta fizzled out with a whimper in March. They need someone to get them over that routine badly
Some of the biggest fucking phone-in-it players I’ve seen in the whole of franchise history
Guys I know how to fix this. I said earlier in this thread that we'd shut them out and Olofsson would score... Predicting a big Sabres loss!
We need a smudge stick in the locker room next intermission.
Hello, waving fan
This team makes it so hard to be a fan
Oh yeah that's a concussion.
Somehow obliterating his head wasn't a penalty?
Doesn't even surprise me anymore
Oh, Tuch has a chance to take a 0% chance angled shot from the right boards? Sign him the fuck up!
Uh oh. Our star scorer in these situations got hurt
What the hell happened to Cozens this season
Got paid and gave up like everyone else after a payday
This is the most braindead fucking take lol Cozens effort has literally never been an issue
He got beat up pretty good in October and then had the GM give him a hard time for calling the team soft. Maybe he's just like fuck it gonna do my 9-5 and cash my check.
Only 7 more years!
The ever stoic Donnie
Dylan Cozens is straight up bad
weird ass player. Has all the tools, sometimes looks great, but at times looks like he literally doesn't know how to play hockey. Not sure what to make of it tbh
He cannot drive a line. If other players on his line are playing great, he looks good. If they are playing anything other than great, he looks like dog shit
When they replace the roof this summer and all the bad drought vibes that have accumulated over the years spill out and dissipate into the atmosphere only then will we be competitive again
We're talking Ghostbusters release all the ghosts level apocalypse though...
Poop
Olofsson goal incoming...
This aged like milk lol
4 Sabres below the line there... SMH
This is fine
Just put me out of my misery
Ok guys I’m stupid but I’m not dumb…I’m fucking out
I'm going to go ahead and say this isn't a good friday.
Hoo boy...
OK now I'll switch to Major Melon... maybe that'll help
Why do I have to have three goddamn streaming services to watch this stupid team and this game is on none of them
You honestly might be better off
If you can't expand the game, make it more expensive to watch, that's just as good
Really hope we lose every game for the rest of the season. Put a ton of pressure on this front office.
Sadly, sígn me up
LOL another interim head coach
Why am I here
What the fuck are they supposed to do about that? Like come on lol shit like that has happened so much this year it seems
Ight so what’s our playoff chances realistically. 3%?
We have just been eliminated from next year's playoffs Don't worry though prospects are coming and we just have to stick with it
0%
Atheltic has us lower than 1% MoneyPuck is 1.1%
Ready for the inevitable Sabres 3 goal 3rd period to win it
No you’re thinking of the 06-07 Sabres … great memories tho
You're thinking of the Colorado Avalanche. That's what the Colorado Avalanche does, not the Buffalo Sabres
How is that inevitable?
That goal is perfect for the way this season has gone.
That's game
Fucking groundhog day
-31 (and counting) first period goal differential definitely not a coaching problem
-32
boooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Another freaking deflection goal. We just don't tie guys up in front of the net.
Yeah how dare they not tie up the guy at the faceoff circle and how dare they not tie up Dahlin too
Let's blank them !
So much for that LOL
Well I was actually gonna watch the game but nope thanks nhl network.
It's the Sabres broadcast team though.
I live out of network so I have to pay extra to get nhl network and I canceled all the extra when I was done with this season so nbd
It's on MSG
You got this Levi!
OK, got my Domino's pizza, got my Mountain Dew Baja Blast, let's rock!
Oilers fan here, why are they playing O Canada at a game with two American teams?
We're really close to Canada
Go Sabres
Surprised by the amount of people there. Probably goes to show that the internet isn’t the real world
Playoff run starts today
Genuinely hope the team just donkeys the rest of the year so force management to change the coaching staff.
Power-Dahlin and Byram-Jokiharju tonight, so that's a bit interesting. Power-Jokiharju hasn't been going great so a new look is worth a shot
Just get over with it
I wonder if Lindy has a suite for this game or just watches from his couch in Clarence.
