    Exactly 13 years ago today 4/26/11.

    The Sabre Report on X: "April 26th, 2011. 13 years ago today. The last time the Buffalo Sabres played in a playoff game. https://t.co/2zma56mLcb" / X (twitter.com)

     

     

     

    Gee, no one reminded of that fact in at least 5 minutes. 🙄

     

    We all thought the Bills drought would never end too. People tend to think you get worse as a team for every year you miss the playoffs. So at 13 years the Sabres must be the bottom of the NHL barrel, right? 

     

    The Sabres have tons of talent in Buffalo and a boatload of prospects tearing up the AHL in Rochester. Donny got them to the doorstep last year but no further. Now it's Lindy's turn. 

     

    I'm the meantime you can follow the Amerks playoff on AHLTV.com.

    I think Beane is not getting enough props for adding a piece to every single group on both sides of the ball. This is an infusion of youth everywhere on the roster.

     

    We are now a younger team that has good depth pretty much everywhere.

     

    We may need a gamechanger or two, but now at least you reloaded the roster with promising young players, and next season we will have cap space and even better draft capital to make a power move or two should we have a glaring need.

     

    I like the approach, and we'll see how good McDermott and his staff really are given the makeup of the roster

     

    But the draft grades!

    This is the time of the draft when I think they need to eliminate the last two rounds and let these players walk on wherever they believe they have the best shot. 

     

    The NFL Draft was 17 rounds until 1977 when it was reduced to 12 rounds. Then when the salary cap was introduced in 1994 it became 7 rounds.

    We don't have to worry about plowed streets in late April, though 

     

    I just meant it's hard to have faith in a city administration that has so much difficulty getting streets plowed to do anything well.

    If we don't then Green Bay ASSUREDLY doesn't.

    I just heard that Green Bay is the host next year. And you're right, I can't imagine the Green Bay-Appleton-Oshkosh metropolitan area having enough hotel rooms either. So maybe ... 🤔

    Not necessarily. There are plenty of guys a lot of know at this point in the draft. It's usually not until about round 5 when I or a lot of people start not really knowing who people are. Round 3 is still pretty early to not know who players are

     

    What does it say when those guys you heard of are still there?
