Back when every team could have 1-2 players pass 80 points. Now there's 1-2 league wide some years

Somethings gotta give eh? I get that goalies are bigger, D are better so lets make the rinks bigger, take away the blue line ect... I thought we were supposed to experiment with his s**t in the AHL the last decade. WTF happened to that?

Yea our team was a perfect fit for the post lockout era from 2005-2008. Then the league went to S#!T again.

Il never forget when we were up like 9-0 against Philly? I turn to my friend, grab him and just said "WE ARE SO F#$%ING GOOD"

Man I miss those days

In the playoff series against Philly he had one of the most ridiculous dangle/dekes of all time, IMO.

NONE OF THE ABOVE:

Stafford.

You just knew he could do more, but he never really did, except when you had given up on him. It made me want to kill that beady eyed douchebag.

He was sick. Best hands this team has ever seen. Truly believe that
- MCGUIZZY


Sabres Fans who really watch team know Timmy C was amazingly talented, his deke on Alfredson on PP and drive to net faking the pass and going blocker side high was one the BEST goals I have ever witnessed! Some of the young guns are trying this move but the skill and talent it demands is rare indeed. Without Tim we never Tie the 1st game against Ottawa in 05/06 when Drury wins it in OT. Without Tim Pommenville never gets the opportunity to score the Series clinching goal.

Tim Connelly and Thomas Vanek are both hated by some because they are human.

Connolly gets a ton of hate on here for his crap off the ice.

When he was out with a concussion he was out behind the bar "bartending" at SOHO all the freaking time.

This wasn't the off season either this was during the season when the team was on the road.

The guy had unreal hands and was a probably one of the most talented Sabres skill wise of all time.

He just started off on the wrong foot for who he was traded for and then the injuries started piling on and he didn't handle them the right way either.

New York Islanders captain Tavares, 26, could hit the unrestricted free-agent market next year when his contract ends, the expectation of which could create a Stamkos-like trickle-down this offseason. This depends on whether the Islanders can sell their future to Tavares, with the team appearing to be on the outs in Brooklyn. He is eligible to sign a contract extension starting on Saturday.

"If the presentation to Tavares from the Islanders perspective is, 'Look, a new building is going up in two years and we're going to go to the cap and here's your money, but I promise you this building is going to get built and here's this and here's that,' I think John Tavares would stay," the former Western Conference executive said.

"But if they're not able to put that in front of him, I think the other thing will happen."

That was just regular season. I think the best goal that playoff year was game 5 vs. Philly. He opened the scoring after getting hit in the face with a puck during warm-ups. Phenomenal goal!

Many of the posters on here have yet to learn what it means to have a wife, a few kids, and what my buddies call "the monthly nut" hanging on your back every day.

PS. The Monthly Nut is not a dirty concept. Its a budget number.

There are some even weirder stories about him. I'm not gonna repeat what I heard because I don't know if they're true, but he may have just been a strange guy

They are probably all true. SOHO is owned by family, he would go wild when he was DT. Didn't really hide anything either.

Urinating on females, etc...

I was friends with a lot of bartenders/owners around that time period...

I witnessed a bunch of it

yea I guess when the team was stacked we were so used to winning and the team playing great so maybe it was easy to pick on players that weren't constantly playing amazing.
