Buffalo Sabres

East Atlantic · 2026–27 season

The story so far

Sabres fans spent the season's first month arguing over UPL, roasting the power play and demanding Seth Appert's firing, with misery spiking to 88 after a fed-up week of losses. A three-game California sweep dropped misery to 39 and left fans relieved, buzzing and talking up an Ellis era.

what fans talked about, week by week
Season-long

  • UPL swung from trade-talk target to Florida hero and back to scapegoat, until Ellis's shutout in San Jose sparked calls for a new starter and UPL's strong night in LA won some fans back.

    “Give UPL his flowers, massive performance from him today. Hopefully this can be his get-right game. Also, FUCK THE TKACHUKS”
