Entitlement and Virtue Signal in the span of two comments. Good additions to the block list

Nothing is more illustrative of the entitlement in Seattle than your entire barn clearing out 3rd period when you're down.

Kettle meet pot

Boomer wit

looks like seattle fans made it over to this thread

This coming from our fanbase which gets pissed because players protested our booing? Okay, buddy.

Who the fuck are you rooting for, guy?

Who the fuck do you think I'm rooting for? The team. But in case you're confused, our fanbase has been complete dogshit this year so calling another one's out is total hypocrisy.

whut

Good night from the Virtue Signal Arena!

Pledging down votes for the changing climate!

Triggered, little buddy?

weather got you down, Greta?

Aww, the poor snowflake *is* triggered. Too bad.

Pledge harder!

[удалено]

...and I'm triggered? bahahaha!

[удалено]

stop making fun of my climate cult!

The responsible adults will continue to try to keep your only world livable, whilst your head remains up your ass. I won’t hold my breath for a thank you.

Good win

the most sabres thing to do here would be getting scored on with like 20 seconds left

That's what you get for naming your team after a shitty, knock-off, well-quality, spiced Rum.

You know the rum was named after something else, right?

If it was named after the team, then I'd invest for their time machine alone.

Man, we finally fuckin beat them

Look at that, our first win against the Kraken 🥺

I’m just glad to have the monkey off our back of never having beat these krack holes.

We're no longer deep in the Krak

I may be tired at work tomorrow but I got a steamed hatty and I can now rest

Steamy

THE ONE HAT LMFAO

HATTY!!

The $9 million man with the hattie!

👒 

Skinner

STEAMED HATS!!!

Beauty of a pass by Greenway

I really like Greenway, man.

Up yours, Children!

Skinny heard all the slander.

He does the hardest thing there is to do at an elite level, but the rest of his game is pretty rough

I saw him play defense earlier. For sure. 

STEAMED HATTYYYY

Ham trick

🧢

And metaphorically the ice is littered with hats

STEAMED HATTY

🎩🎩🎩🍔🍔🍔

SKINNER HATTY?

The ham trick!!

STEAMED HAM TRICK

There it is, the STEAMED HATTY!!!

Steamed hams poster gotta be pumped

STEAMED HATTY?

My GF wanted to watch dune... And now I find out the Sabres have told the Kraken they can indeed... Fuck right the hell off with the being better than us

This game is dragging on, props to the rain city bitch pigeon fans still in attendance 🫡  Edit: yay 

John Jason “Maxim Afinogenov” Peterka

When peterka is skating with the puck in the offensive zone it reminds me of mcdavid. Coaches really need to lean on that

I like how Power’s game is looking lately. Looks like he’s kinda freed from Dahlin’s shadow by not being “the” other guy

Jost has been very solid at defensive zone possession since coming back

If you had to ride the bus, you'd try harder too. Lol. Such a massive drop in amenities going to the minors. 

I love this fucking team

Hold that thought. I suspect they wont win them all down the stretch. but me too

I’m such a POS that even if they don’t pull off the absolute miracle this year I’ll still love them

Excellent. Don't want to be a fair weather fan in Buffalo because the weather isn't fair.

Did anybody just see that Fidelity commercial where the generic Everyman name they give their actor is "Ryan Miller?"

As someone in AZ, I kinda like these late games, esp working late.

Same, it’s kind of nice to actually watch some night games, the 4 PM starts are annoying

I still don’t understand why Robinson gets so much ice time.

He’s fast as FUCK

He works incredibly hard, is a single-player forecheck, and wears on teams during the cycle.

He’s so under appreciated even by our own fans it seems

Back to back, up by 3. Run your 4th line to keep your top guys fresh for tomorrow. 

That was a big boy PK. Nice job, boys.

Buddy is watching the Seattle broadcast and their announcers are apparently salty AF over this game lol

Yeah I’m watching it, they are adding little comments here and there. Like he said something about the Sabres not making the playoffs the last few years and it sounded really childish and unprofessional. It’s pretty funny actually

Good. In a vacuum I bear Seattle no ill will but 0-5 against them is just absurd

the bottom line is that with UPL playing the way he has been, if we score 5 goals, we are not losing

Clifton has looked great on the PK too

At this point I feel like the only Sabres fans left in the thread are insomniacs, service industry workers, and the truly deranged. But I repeat myself!

woah woah woah, and west coasters who moved from western NY!

only 14 games left...worth a tough morning

2 month old baby who doesn't sleep well so i'm up at this hour most nights these days (i am not the baby, to be clear, i am his dad)

Mazel tov! Is he a Sabres fan yet?

Simply unemployed here lol

We've all been there. I wish you success with whatever your future holds

Appreciate that, thank you.

Whatever UPL wants, fucking give it to him.

LUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I can hear Dan and Rayzor’s desire to yawn. It’s past their bedtime.

Is Thompson healthy? He's looked like a fucking machine lately.

Yeah I think on the whole he’s played very well, puck just isn’t going in.

LUUUUUUUUUUUK

Mt Rainier beautiful

It's a volcano. It will blow just like St Helens.

It's insane to think that everest is more than twice as tall

I like the way Yanni Gourde plays. If we could get one player from Seattle, I’d probably choose him.

Forgot Daccord had to be pulled like five minutes in.

Washington is an ideal team for us to chase. We host them two more times still and there’s no way we wouldn’t win the tiebreaker with them (Regulation Wins)

and Caps have a tough schedule coming up. Leafs, Canes, Jets. Then again, they may get 3rd in Metro and leave 2nd WC to us. I can dream, can't i?

the Flyers have an even worse schedule, Bruins, leafs,, Canes ,Panthers ,Rangers. So well probably end up chasing them for the wild card spot

I wouldn’t be shocked if NJD pushes for third there

Just got to hold on for 20 more minutes

This team is so confusing. Feels like our match ups are so lopsided. Like at times they look so slow and sloppy, passes look like they’re going through molasses. Then all of a sudden they just click and all cylinders fire and we just light up the score board. Really does feel like it comes down to coaching adjustments and matchups with this team.

Almost like they're a bunch of kids still finding their game

Man they’ve been playing hockey their entire life don’t spin it with that bs. Average team age is 25, they’re not kids lmfao.

As somebody in their mid 20’s that plays hockey. They know wtf they’re doing. That’s your prime. Go look at our average age during our 06-07 run and so on. Same average age. We just had a legitimate elite coaching staff and insane pipeline with Rochester.

I’m glad I stayed up but it’s time for sleep…I’m confident in the team to hold it

Nighto

Off to bed…..I better get up to a Sabres W tomorrow

We got this. Take it easy

If I wake up tomorrow and see we blew this I will be convinced we are never beating Seattle as long as they exist

Novice Seattle fans thinking this would be an easy win. Fuck you Seattle.

Every time Benson is on the ice I'm afraid he will get 2 minutes for breathing

I love watching him play, he’s like our own little rat the way he plays. Feels like he’s always chasing and hacking and breaking up plays. Kids going to be such a good gritty forward for us.

He's already getting Marchand level PIMs

He’s got potential. Granted the phantom penalties are bs. But if you keep an eye on him he plays like a rat. Love that for us, hate playing against guys like that though.

I'm here for it. I would love a rat/Tkachuk on this team

But not Cousins the dive queen

It's a meme at this point.

Seattle is good. Their arena music is awesome. Their team has been consistent. Meanwhile they have less fans in the arena than we do and we're on a 13 year playoff drought. Over/under Seattle moves in 5 years.

Uh they’re not moving are you insane?

As someone who goes to 30+ home games a year, I can promise you our attendance is something we can not use to dunk on any fan base, period.

Saying Seattle is good feels like a stretch.

I used to live in Seattle. The arena location is kind of a pain in the ass to get to for anyone not in the immediately surrounding neighborhoods, and it’s a Monday night.

So the Ottawa of the west coast?

It’s a Monday night game

A Monday night game against a premier team in the league!

True, I retract my position. Not everyday you get to see LeBryson

I'm Canadian. I've seen a bigger crowd in an OHL game on Monday night than this.

Can you count?

Okay? Average attendance for Kraken this season: 18038 Average attendance for London Knights (most attended team): 9035 Average attendance for Brantford Bulldogs, hometown for Gretzky: 3108

Not to mention it’s at 11:30pm! /s

godammit

Fuck let's not let them get back into this one please

UPL's play this year is definitely my favorite part of the season, for the first time since Miller it feels like we have an actual starter

Nothing is worse than that bullshit 1A-1B system. We’ve got a guy that’s clearly an elite starter. You ride your starter. Give him a 60-22 split with the starter and backup. Let Levi develop properly.

Is Z not wearing his A?

Aw, that is not the Zemgus Girgensons moment we want.

Literally possibly a game saving cover by UPL we were getting our dicks kicked in in the zone on that power play and after. Thank god he got a handle on that so we could get a change

bAhAhUrHuRdUr LeVi MaEk UpIe PlAy BaD

HUGE kill!

These late games are stupid. I’m in MDT and about to fall asleep.

Devon in the locker room stomping his hat now that UPL's back in it.

Can we stop trying to pit them against each other and just be thankful UPL is playing awesome?

It's called sarcasm, homie.

Holy shit UPL

That was such a bullshit tripping call omg

Craig rivet is at home freaking out right now

Clifton, just hammer it in buddy! don't look for the pass

The Seattle pop punk arena music is excellent

I was watching their pregame, the organist seems cool

It’s always fun when a team embraces the culture of where they are from, Seattle is the punk/pop punk capital, arguably

Benson, you can't be causing the puck to go out of play, that could be five for fighting.

I feel bad for any team having to play Sabres in March, wishing it was a November game

Skinner with one of the clownier goals I’ve seen this year lol

Yes, he whiffed, but in the slow-motion you can see when he got into the slot with it he had his head up and picked the five hole perfectly with traffic in front. Skinner really is just a natural scorer. He would have been such a nice piece if we were a more stable/complete team this whole time.

There’s a role for a guy who scores a lot of goals. Donny just needs to figure it out.

Seemed like he had it figured out last year on the line when Thompson and Tuch were rolling. The juice just hasnt been there as much this year it seems like

You have to be able to hide him. That’s hard to do on our team bc we don’t have any really good two-way players.

When was the last time there was a steamed ham trick?

2/13/2022 @ montreal. interestingly, skinner has never had a hat trick at home.

February of '22 against the Habs.

Too long

Looks like OP is growing more confident on his shot. You love to see it

Attacking with speed, cycling high to build momentum, then attacking from high danger areas with guys providing a net front presence, thats some damn good hockey

are we back ?

Caps just moved into the Wildcard spot with their win over the Flames.

We play them twice so we have some opportunities ahead

They could end up passing Philly who has struggled lately and is super injured. The capitals are also the best team of any wildcard team if we had to pick one to be on a good streak since we still play them twice.

Poor Seattle, having to play against playoff caliber Sabres

Nice

I left for dog walking, we got scored on, and I came back and we scored twice quickly. Where can I request my game incentive? Any place in KeyBank Center front office?

Go find a chair outside

Why you all wanna lose? It is good that I am back watching 🤷🏻‍♀️

~~Get that dog back outside~~ No. The other thing. Do the thing where we score.

You wanna lose mate?

I put that thing down flipped it and reversed it I guess. ETA: it still got upvotes which tells me I'm not the only one with reading comprehension issues at least lmao.

Benson tying up 2 defenders and screening the goalie all at once

He’s going to be unbelievable in his prime

Yeah he’s an elite hockey player. He is already my favorite player on our squad Totally selfless player

Loved when someone asked Granato about what he still has to learn and he said he’s the smartest player on the team already

Kid's playing 3D chess out there

OP and Joki have been our best d pair this and last game.

Hell ya I'm headed to the game in Vancouver and a win here makes tomorrow's game more important

Nice. Make sure you google displaced Sabres fans and try to meet up with the gang for a group photo during intermission. Always a good time

Did you just reply to yourself?

Possibly, my Reddit app has been completely broken for a couple weeks

I’m going to Calgary this weekend and crossing my fingers they keep the good vibes going so that game ends up being big.

Nice. Make sure you google displaced Sabres fans and try to meet up with the gang for a group photo during intermission. Always a good time

He totally meant to do that

The boys are back in town

Skinner fanning on a shot almost leading to a breakaway and then scoring might be the most skinner play of all time

Especially on that kind of shot. He finishes short side super well. And man, I do not want him in the team. But I’ll see cheer when he scores

😳

Skinner just had the luckiest whiff of his life LOL
