Brent Burns just smacked McLeods stick so hard that it blew into smithereens while simultaneously scoring without giving up a shot. Yea, it’s about as wild as that mouthful of line was. We also talk about Buffalo’s future, who do we need to boost from this team to shake things up? That and more in today’s NHL hockey video!

Coming from a sabres fan, we do NOT need anymore draft picks dawg. we need all the veterens we can get
Thanks! I watch these videos and am furious with the NHL for screwing with you folks. I've written them multiple messages, emails and a physical letter. Ive been going to games since 1984-85. I quit watching after the 4th lockout and loathe Bettman ruining the NHL. These videos got me back and now they are threatening you guys. So hopefully we get loud enough for them to stop playing games.
Why get rid of proven players to just grab more prospects that's the last thing this team needs. Stop trading veteran talent for projects.
As a Carolina fan, we have been playing like trash. We've been giving up way too much possession on our own end. Our starting goalies are out, and Kochetkov hasn't been playing that well.
Need to trade Pegula
I saw this exact scenario play out during a NYFD v. NYPD Charity Game game at MSG back in 85 . Those two teams DO NOT LIKE each other !
They ain’t making the playoffs
sabres can be easily fixed by m,moving them to…i dont know… quebec maybe
The Sabres are worse than the Oilers' "decade of darkness". This will be the 14th season that they miss the playoffs, and 18th season since they won a playoff round. They make the Maple Leafs' track record look good.
McLeod gets a hat trick from a puck he never touched, in a period with 0 shots. This play will make NHL trivia nights for eternity.
Ryan Mcleods first hatty was on 2 shots
Tage is 27? Damn what a waste of a career #savetagethompson
Scoring a goal in the period with absolutely no shots on goal is the most Sabres thing ever
I he missed and hit his hand this would be completely different kind of video 😅
We were robbed of a potential penalty shot attempt with no goalie in net, and I'm furious 😂
There shouldn't be a tank for the Buffalo Sabres, and they don't need to blow it up. They need to trade the unprotected 1st round pick this year + some extra players for a player like Pettersson or a bona fide top line center. And I'm not joking. Trading a top 5 pick goes and says to everyone else in the league, "We weren't supposed to be here this year, we don't want this this year, we want to win." This will resonate with fans, other organizations, other GMs and most importantly other players in UFA this year. Especially getting a solid super star back in a deal like that. Drafting a player in the draft means they have 3-4 years before they start performing to the level of players out there now, trading it now basically gives insurance and assistance back now.
The Sabres are the poster child of why "blowing it up" does not guarantee you success down the line. They have a good core and cap space left on the table. Even with their position, they need some big moves for experienced players. Use some of that insane draft capital they have every year.
i was at the last sabres playoff game 14 years ago.
i was 4 years old, and i completed elementary school, middle school, and high school without seeing the sabres make the playoffs.
I don't think Buffalo can make the playoffs. If the East was a little bit more spread out in points than they are, maybe? But they need to make up 7-10 points on like 5 different teams. It would honestly be easier to make up 12 points on one team, because you can hope that they tank, but they have to beat the best of Ottawa, Boston, Montreal, Detroit and Philly with a substantial defiicit against each.
They should just get Cory Perry and then they can lose in the Stanley Cup Finals. Easy.
I think that’s less “welcome to Buffalo hockey” and more so “welcome to Carolina hockey”
I saw Smytty score a hat-trick and take 1 shot to do it. Kinda the same thing I think.
We all know the team needs veteran leadership.
Just trade Dahlin at this point
EMBRACE THE TANK!
"No need to plan the parade yet for buffalo, bill mafia well see" enter the buffalo bandits "hold my beer while we 3peat"
I'm a Sabres fan so I'm not complaining about seeing the Sabres actually play somewhat decently (not holding my breath though lmao) but bro why didn't Burnsie just lift the stick? lmao why tf did he chop? what a weird decision
As an Islander fan, we seem to have the same problem in reverse! Buffalo should take a trip down to the Island and do some shopping!
How to fix the sabers. For the next 3 years all Buffalo is gonna do is sign vets with playoff XP. Your Brandon Saads, Reilly Smiths, Barclay Goodrows. Older players who can show the kids what it means to play meaningful games late in the season. Stop trading pieces like Tuch. Add more NHL caliber forwards like Zucker and this teams gonna get out of their own heads.
WELCOME TO BUFFALO SABRES HOCKEY, THAT'S WHAT WE DO BABY
Mario Lemieux once scored 5 goals in a game, one for each way possible to score a goal (PP, short, penalty shot, even, and empty).He didn’t do this though, and perhaps this is the sixth way.
Tuch is going no where.
as a defensemen i understand why he did it, sometimes your just sick and tired and didnt want him to get that easy goal even though you know they gunna reward him one anyways….
If anyone got past Steve Smith, he'd two-hand their ankle.
side note, i love McLeod. Him and Zucker have been awesome pickups. the rest of the team outside of Dahls has been underwhelming to say the least
I wouldn’t trade Tuch or Zucker
It would be tough to be Carolina. Every year for the last decade it seems they have supposedly been a complete team and a legit contender. Every year their goaltending chokes and the end up losing to a team the outplayed.
More a horrific sloppy anemic careless gutless game by the Hurricanes than anything else.
No! Never moving Tuch. He's a Sabre for life
I miss McCloud, would have been a lifer in oil country in a different time. Treat him well Buffalo.
Carolina playing up to the skill of their opponents again.
"Zucker's having a great year, send that man somewhere. Get some draft capital."
uhhh NO.
Lock him up for the next 2-3 years. Buffalo DOES NOT need more picks and prospects. They need (more) serviceable vets like Zucker to help show this young group how to play in the league and how to win. Would be the dumbest thing ever to ship him off. Just spinning the wheels like they have been for the last 10+ years.
Nothing's going to happen with a GM who believes after 15 years of no playoffs and a 13 game losing streak that "the answer is in the locker room"
I'm so glad you did a video for this freakishly unlikely situation. I am stoked for McLeod to have this his first hattie too
