I feel the same way also. As much as I hate the bruins, Buffalo fans in all sports have gotten Philly level of annoying the past few years

I have seen Sabre fans trolling in comments on Hurricane YouTube videos. You would think a team that had one of the current longest playoff droughts would be a bit more humble. 
But they act like they have been contenders for a while. I mean, they were supposed to suck this season. Be grateful.

Buffalo is largely ignored and otherwise rather meaningless without hockey or football. They don't have an NBA, WNBA, PWHL or other professional sports franchise, so this is what they hang their hats on. 

Thing is, nobody in Buffalo pays attention to the Sabres until after the Bills season is done in January or February. 

Regardless, I'm not sure how Carolina stacks up with them in a 7-game set.

Bruins beat the Sabres last night, it’s 3-2  now and they play in Boston friday. Sabres fans might want to have their team take care of the first round before they start woofing.

If we meet in the ECF I have a feeling playoff experience will be a factor. Kinda like what happened in 2018 ECF with a playoff experienced Bruins swept us.

They are probably still Salty from the 2006 ECF, when Ruff tried to blame the ice for us winning, it doesn't matter, if we beat them(assuming we get past Phi/Pitt), they can troll all they want

Don’t like it.  But the Canes have to be able to beat any team to go all the way.

If the flyers team from games 1-3 shows up it’s going to be a dogfight. If the flyers team from games 4-6 shows up, canes sweep with blowouts

Nothing about the Flyers scare me. They are a mid team that just barely made the playoffs. 

Dan Vladar is their best player and that is going to be the difference in the series

So our defense shuts him down and the rest of the team folds. Seems doable by the Canes. The Canes are a much, much better team than the Flyers.

      Run Threat Rate -- is this good?

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      From Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nutshellsportz.bsky.social/post/3mo3rkrcezs2e  A look at Run Threat Rate across the NFL Run Threat Rate is the percentage of plays where a team either runs the ball or uses play action. This compares each team’s rate when leading or tied versus when trailing to show how much they abandon the run when playing from behind.

      That's the current dilemma on both parties at the moment. If Ickey comes back too soon, he won't be 100% and his play will suffer. Leading to a potential decrease in his contract. If Ickey is unable to play and sits the entire 2026 season, his contract will still take the same hit since it tells all 32 team that he is not fully recovered. On the Panthers side, I'm sure they would want to keep Ickey if he is fully recovered but he is obviously in a contract year. They don't want to re-sign him to a massive deal since it be too risky and they know if Ickey is able to return to form.  Best case scenario, the Panthers wants to offer Ickey a 1-2 year heavily incentive based prove it deal. However, Ickey would most likely decline the offer and test the market as  another team can come in and offer Ickey a better deal if they are desperate enough for O-line help.

      They have been giving him a lot of snaps at RT to give TMo some relief in camp. I think that will continue for the time being.
