Buffalo Sabres Open Thread, Wk of 11/10

Things went from bad from worse last week for Buffalo. With injuries piling up, Rasmus Dahlin left to be with his fiancée who is still recovering from her surgery over the summer. The Sabres had been getting by picking up points in overtime losses and that came to an end with a couple of hidings. Now the Sabres go on a four-game road trip looking to bond and hopefully show they have some…

T McGee’s November 2025 Three Round Mock Draft

DBTB – The Draft year rolls on. And this Draft is looking deeper, and more promising, than many would have expected. I had trouble confining all my 1st round players to the 1st round… there was some spillover, which means some 1st round-caliber players will be available into the 2nd round. That’s the sign of a very good, very deep class. Will it all hold? We will see. But for now…

Expected Pain

Score: Sabres 3 | Avalanche 6 Shots: BUF 21 | COL 34 Buffalo Sabres Goals: Colorado Avalanche Goals: Minus 1: Back-to-Back Pain This was an incredibly tough matchup for Buffalo. Taking on the top team in the league after playing the night before is a tall order regardless of the situation. Add in Buffalo’s injuries/absences and there wasn’t much hope for this one.

Buffalo Sabres Open Thread, Wk of 11/24

A bit of a strange week for the Buffalo Sabres last week. Four games: two of the top sides in the league, one high-flying team and the league’s worst side on the docket. The Sabres go 3-1-0 in that span, losing one against.. you guessed it, the most winnable of that quartet. Thanksgiving week is upon us with three games for the Sabres, two against Met Division sides and a trip to the Midwest…
