@ekertesz88 @Ben_Mathewson And Terry was behind all of it. He wins a cup, all forgiven. TT leads the way, same thing. At the time, just horrible asset management.

@GarryMarr @Ben_Mathewson Not saying TP is without blame! Bots was one of my least favorite GM’s in Sabs history, but he hit it out of the park with the trade. BUT, you play in WNY, a place where people are scraping by, where a night at the rink is a luxury. Don’t say how hard it is to play a game.

2 guys that couldn’t handle the bright lights of Buffalo, NY

@ekertesz88 @Ben_Mathewson He did not hit it out of the park, even with Tage Thompson’s ascension. We gave up O’Reilly in his prime who was every bit as valuable as TT today. He won a cup and was MVP. The Blues got rid of cap dumps that would have cost of a fortune to move. The first was last in round.

@MatthewFairburn No Timmins?

Logan Stanley and Zach Metsa are still skating on a pair at Sabres practice. Kesselring skating with Schenn. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen has the net to himself.

@NotTheJoeMarino That’s super cheap for playoff hockey

Not that bad, my seats are center ice 300s. I was expecting it to be more expensive

Secured my Sabres playoff tickets

@hockeyhamster @smithle1006 $100 or less for the playoffs? Like AHL?

@smithle1006 I'm not worried about me, I'm fine. I made this post because I've seen so many "i hope i can get a $100 or less ticket to the playoffs" and it's just not happening lol. People are so disconnected with the rest of the world after being in a drought for so long.

my sabres season ticket price for the entire season is less money than paying for the 16 game potential playoff run. I hope you all without seasons are ready to pay an arm, a leg, and your first born child lol

@SabresProspects What do you think chances are Strbak signs after tournament?

BUF prospects at NCAA Tourney: Worcester Regional (Thurs.) 1. Michigan State (Strbak, Geary) vs. 4. Connecticut (Richard), 1:30 ET, ESPN2 2. Dartmouth vs. 3. Wisconsin (Osburn, Zelenov), 5:00 ET, ESPN-U Albany Regional (Fri.) 2. Minnesota Duluth (Kleber) vs. 3. Penn State, 9:00 ET ESPN2

@sabresfan141 No. He’s been playing injured and is better

With how Metsa is playing this season, and if Stanley has a good playoffs, Kesselring could become expendable in the offseason. With that being said, we have plenty of assets to trade for a top 6 forward: - Kesselring - Quinn - Levi - Prospects - Picks #SabreHood

@David_Weirich @SabresProspects Ziemer is an untouchable? 😆

@SabresProspects He’s the only untouchable afaic. Maybe Ziemer too

Konsta Helenius has his second AHL hat trick for the Amerks today. He's up to 18 goals on the year and has 18 points (9+9) in 16 games since returning from BUF.

@ekertesz88 @Ben_Mathewson You hold a grudge against him? Pegula traded him one day before $7 M bonus due. Hold a grudge against Terry. Deal done with GM having few choices. GMJB took cap dumps, settled on a late first (no caveats) and took 3rd best prospect. Turned out okay because TT blossomed.

@Ben_Mathewson Still hold a major grudge with O’Reilly. That post season interview where he said he “lost the love for the game” and that the team accepted losing will never be right with me. He was brought here to be the person to fix that and teach the young guys, and paid well to do so.

@Ben_Mathewson Move on. They both won cups. They’re good.

@CMDeDominicis Any chance Ellis gets a start?

The Sabres are back at it tonight, looking for the west coast road trip sweep against the Ducks

@SlavaMalamud Dahlin is not a superstar? 😝

My Buffalo Sabres, with no superstars, no Russians, and no palm trees, are the hottest team in American sports, and I have no idea how this happened. Has there ever been a midseason turnaround when a team went from the worst in the league to the best? PS. Fuck Ovechkin.

@SollyLama @mmhkygrt @NotTheJoeMarino It was a tough play but if he took another step he could have cleared. Probably takes major hit. Split second decision but that’s the game. Stanley is fine but let’s not get too excited — he’s no top 4.

@mmhkygrt @GarryMarr @NotTheJoeMarino He’s not wrong. It was definitely a case of not being used to our penalty killing system. First time in a while I’ve seen a D chase up the boards that far starting near the net.

We can all agree that Logan Stanley has been completely fine since he get separated from Luke Schenn?

Hey @311Toronto this is bordering on a health hazard at 173 Eglinton Ave. W.

@lousyleafs Not interested in NHL hockey? Last year they didn’t sell out every game with the best team in the league. What gives? Prices are not crazy relatives to other teams. Losing that team would be horrible for Winnipeg but also Canada. I’d hate it.

@GarryMarr There’s still a lot of die hard fans, but the casual fanbase isn’t interested anymore. Tickets are really cheap too, maybe if they bounced back next year, but it’s pretty ugly

Jets have a very rich ownership group that doesn’t spend to the cap & they’ll somehow blame fans when they eventually move again lol they started the season with $7M in cap space while replacing ehlers with toews & nyquist

@NotTheJoeMarino Byram

Would you rather Alex Tuch extended 8x$9M Or Bowen Byram extended 8x$9M Tuch would be 38 at the end of the deal Byram would be 34 at the end of the deal (they can extend him this summer)

@PeteBlackburn The Leafs are 14-9-4 against the West. They make the playoffs in that conference.

Most years I don't have a problem with the playoff format, but this year it really is gonna get exposed a bit -- especially in the West. NHL needs to do more to prioritize rivalries in the regular season instead of first round of playoffs

@PeteBlackburn What’s the exposure? That the west teams are way weaker? Look at the record of the so-called top three against the East. The Wild wouldn’t make the playoffs in the other conference.

@BrianWGR @pham1717 What are the chances they try to squeeze in a start for Ellis before the season is done?

Dahlin says Lyon was huge, says they have two unbelievable goalies and have been a huge part of their success. #Sabres
