Tried bypassing the ESPN+ blackout using a vpn with no luck. Never had an issue with NHL TV. Anyone able to do it successfully?

Just watched Donnies presser after the game

Maybe the lack of on ice leadership was holding this team back

Good for kyle and gus

As Bill Polian said "Attitude + Aptitude = Altitude"

Couldn't have been more thrilled this summer to watch two of the 3 cancers depart the team. You say goodbye, I say good riddance!!

Paul Hamilton perfectly described Risto earlier before the game as a "really good athlete, but an average hockey player"

I'll take hard teamwork and a loss over a few a$$wipe prima donnas gliding their way to victory.

Win or lose last night I was very proud of the way they played and look forward to being there in person Saturday.

it's good to know that an Eichel deal is quite close.

does he go down as one of the biggest disappointments in sabres history?

Yankees fired the hitting coach and the Sabres win.

It's a good day.

Eff the haters.

Was the hitting coach a hater?

Imagine this team with

Quinn, Peterka, Samuellson, Power, Rosen and UPL

We might actually have something here...

We're going to lose our next 81 aren't we?

Any word on casey

I can't think of a bigger one. Pegulas as an owner ranks, but given the cap there was only so much he was gonna do. Jack is Icarus for us, flew too close to the Sun and now has fallen and kinked his neck.

Couldn't find anything but they ruled him out quickly so I'd assume he'll miss some time.

He hated anything other than home runs, apparently 😂

I’ve come into this season with no expectations and a bit jaded on pegs not changing anything at the top of this organization for about a decade.

But if they keep putting the effort in they did last night, keep playing fast, exciting hockey, win lose or draw, how can you not watch.

As homie and strips eluded too, are we watching major league or the replacements?

Now, go and nail the return for Jack and get that whining frank outta here….

Wonder who draws in first, if Casey is out? Hayden or Rusto?

They're finally fast. They might not be good but they're fast. I've been desperate for team speed for years

A deal is close...?

We won't know about mitts till after practice

I don't think so. Perhaps more so the 2010s will be the worst decade of their existence. Unfortunately Eichel headlined that. He's a phenomenal player and we shouldn't take that from him.

Without a doubt one of the best centers in the game! But seems to also be a grade-a, d-bag, frank… to the detriment of the team

This is Jack Eichel…

so was last night Synergy?

Great game by the Sabres. Craig Anderson looked solid. The overall performance was excellent. Donnie Meatballs gets an A+. Ralph Krueger gets an F-.

Arizona losing 8 - 2. Carter Hutton a scintillating .692 save % tonight. There is no way the Sabres finish 32nd in the NHL.
- SabreWest

Relax there’s only 81 games left.

Eichel will go to another team. Eichel will make that team better. Eichel will be a Hart candidate consistently perhaps and may even win a cup or two.

But that was never going to happen here. I won’t speculate but that’s pretty clear.

Carter Hutton off to a stellar start.

Another question, are the Sabres at a point where they HAVE to take a bad contract or two back to get to the floor when they trade Jack?
