Beautiful accents on that sweater 🔥😎
Shannon pointing to Buffalo-Dallas in the thumbnail. Because it might be the game that answers a huge question for the league.
Are the Sabres for real?
You are giving statistics on players ( like from the Leafs ) that are not playing due to injury. So you are making teams look better then they are.
12/31 Update
Happy New Year Puckheads!
@SammyNYIslanders and @SuperStar7195-r4j took Tuesday with a 3-1-1 mark and once again, I stumbled in with a 1-3-1 record ☹
11-3-2 was best for @SuperStar7195-r4j during the 12/29-30 period. ME? Not bad, 8-6-2 …
For New Year’s Eve, here are your winners: WSH VGK TBL MIN DET CBJ DAL COL CGY EDM
Sabres for NYE miracle 10th straight win!
last games: 6-10
overall: 326-285
today: WSH, VGK, ANA, MIN, WPG, NJD, DAL, COL, CGY, EDM
thursday: OTT, NYI, TOR, PIT, CAR, LAK, DAL, SEA
Buffalo going for 10 in a row, let's go!
Either go out swinging or go out winning a hard fought battle, either way, I'm proud of this team, just go back to winning the next game if this one doesn't work out. Go Sabres!
Hey can you ask TEG what his thoughts are on John Cenas retirement and final match?
Can we get a Devils panic vid? Plenty to talk about. Fitz trading Schmid, Blackwood, Wedgewood, Tuffoli, losing out on Quinn Hughes, having no cap space to bring back Kovasevic, the most trade protection in the league, resigning Markstrom so soon, leaving Daws stranded in the AHL, and probably going to lose Hischier when his contract is up…I can go on and on. Losing game after game. the excuse before was injuries but now we've got all our best players back and still suck. our HC Keefe is forced to play AHLers every night. Would love a new GM…
EVERYONE SHUTS OUT THE RANGERS ONCE.
we're not last in the league, but boy does it feel like we should be. Might end up watching the Sirens instead
Let's go Red Wings!
McDavid is gonna make Buffalo pop
