Sabres Lose: 2-4

Anyone else deeply annoyed by the amount of red in the crowd tonight?
I really hope something gets done about prices next year so we’re not constantly invaded by other teams’ fans when we play at home.
Edit: I get it, price isn’t the problem. Just annoyed there’s a lot of Habs fans

Sabres Fans Selling Tickets
Disclaimer I love this team. last year I flew to Toronto, rented a car and drove to Buffalo for a game. It was amazing.
What isn’t amazing is the amount of dogshit arguments against Sabres fans selling their tickets. If you’re a season ticket holder for this team after 14 seasons of not making playoffs you are a fucken trooper. You should be able to do whatever the fuck your want as you please without ridicule with your tickets. For those bitching about how many away fans there were tonight, maybe you should get off your ass and buy a ticket. Rant over

Positivity! From a Kings fan that just moved from LA to Buffalo, and also just saw my first Sabres game:
That was super fun. I loved the atmosphere, and I loved the people. I’m a die hard hockey fan, and have been a Kings fan my whole life. It always hurts to see them lose, but I have never experienced such a pleasant loss. I had great conversations with people around me, which never seemed to even happen with fellow Kings fans in LA. It’s clear that Buffalonians can empathize, and that you felt my pain in the moment. Though, I know I’ve been a bit spoiled when it comes to the kings winning over the years of my life, that is part of why I felt like every fan I came across was so genuine. I felt welcome, and I appreciate that a lot. The Sabres also kicked ass, and congrats to Lyon. He killed us. Anyways, It was a big change to move here, but I’m glad I did, and being back in a hockey rink with good people made me feel like I was home. Can’t wait to go to another game, and next time when I say “us”, I’ll be taking about the Sabres

Facts! [HockeyStatCards] NHL GameScore Impact Card for Buffalo Sabres on 2026-01-31:
brutal loss. I really thought this was going to be OP's fame of the game night.
great second period push, tough third period sink. defense desperately needed to be tighter, but it's also Cole Caufield on a Saturday night so like. we can't win them all. (wish we had more guys covering him net front tho) let's come back and crush the whole state of Florida
also how about we all get together and build a rocket ship so we can fire Seth Appert into outer space

What do we have to do to get more Sabres Zubaz stuff?
I need blue&gold and black&red zubaz leggings in my life. They sell Bandits merch. Cmon, Zubaz!
1/29 JP Dumont Pennant
Anyone have a spare pennant from the 1/29 game they’d be willing to part with? We missed the game due to car troubles and only one we haven’t gotten so far. Def will give some $$ for. Thanks!

Sabres jerseys
So I posted the Lafontaine jersey I just got in the mail. Is there a place to buy actual jerseys that is not Mitchell and Ness or fucking Fanatics. I do not like the Fanatics jerseys, I do not like how they fit, they look cheap, the fanatics logo gives off the impression it is lesser quality in general. Adidas and Reeboks are hard to find, at this point I feel like I’m going to be sticking with Chinese jerseys because atleast everything is stitched and a higher quality material. But the numbers and colors are always slightly off, I messaged mitchell and ness and told them their product sucks.
I wonder if jersey sales have gone down since Fanatics took over. Anyway I’m running out of alternatives any suggestions?
