2023-24 NHL Season Thread 🏒

I think tonight was the first time in 3 years that the people at the sports bar saw me get so heated and excited over any sports game. I was so pissed when Tampa Bay scored with 7 seconds left when they were absolutely crowding the crease like a subway during rush hour. But hey, Buffalo ended up winning in the end, so I'm happy. I really hope they can actually go all the way to the playoffs and win this time. Too bad Rick Jeanneret isn't alive to see that even if it does happen...

Close loss for BUF tonight, 4-3.

couple of BS calls against Buffalo tonight but Levi manages to carry the Sabres to a 3-2 win

last night was an absolutely horrible performance by the Sabres for Okposo's 1000th game. Tage Thompson was injured and put back onto the ice the next period, and now he might be out for many games because obviously that only exacerbated his injury.

Levi had a bad night, clearly, and that only was made worse by him going up against the Bruins for the first time. He might need to move down to the AHL for a little bit, but that's not to say he isn't a promising goalie. He definitely has a lot of potential to continue the legacy of Hasek and Miller.

Sabres ended their losing streak last night

…when I said be consistent, I didn’t mean consistently s**t… pain

Sabres break their losing streak by winning against Boston of all teams. Amazing 60 minute effort for once.

Levi is going to be the next Miller/Hašek, mark my words.

So not sure if we're in the "IT'S SO OVER" trench or the "IT'S OVER" trench but it's one of them

We’re not talking about the sabres game on Tuesday.

I feel like an idiot even going to watch tonight’s game but if this team does nothing else it’s surprise when everything looks bad.

9-3 win over Toronto. I don't get this team lmao

Roy is back, and he's coaching the Isles.

The St. Louis Blues, hosting Pride Night, scored 3 of their 4 goals in the space of 32 seconds in the 2nd period in their 4-0 win over the Islanders.

I noticed the Pride Blues logo change on FB yesterday and decided to brave my way into the comments.  Mostly supportive (though they could have been removing the worst comments), which is good to see.  I suppose hockey fans trend slightly younger and upper middle class.

Blues have been (mostly) better these last few weeks.  Beating some good teams, but as is often the case, losing to some bad ones.  Better than last season!  We've got a decent shot at the playoffs at this point.  Last year it was pretty much over by now (if not a month ago) if I remember correctly.

I imagine over 50% of conservative hockey fans are Albertans.

and Sabres while not mathematically out are basically out of the playoffs bringing it to 13 seasons. Well, there's always next year, right guys? *totally not going insane chuckling*
