Well, if home wins were 4 points and road wins only 1 point, that might get them pretty darn close. They have to have one of the better home records to go with the league worst road record.

Was 100% with you until the last sentence. Adams has already been supplanted. We now need to put our trust in the Sabres' deep-state.

Who cares, really? It just doesn’t matter. It’s not like the Sabres would make the playoffs if points system were different.

they call those tramp stamps for a reason lol. Not to get too in the weeds with a topic like this, but i always preferred the lower back dimples that reminded me of thumb prints. More of a natural invitation imho 😂

I knew a girl back in the day that had a big arrow in the center of her lower back pointed down right into the crack and if she bent over in a crop top it was just like an invitation into her pants. Best tattoo I've ever seen in my life.

Nah, I don't do Springsteen imitations. Oh wait, different Jeremy 🙂 (I don't know WGR 550 at all but glad to hear I'm not alone)

I'm glad you can admit the Flyers goalie was better If you look at the expected goals. Flyers were at 5.38 and got 5. So he was ok at best Sabres were at 5.72 and scored 2 The Flyers goalie was clearly better again not blaming Ellis but he needs to be better. I actually want them to make him their #1 and see what he can do.

Are you Jeremy White from WGR 550? He's been pushing for that for quite some time

He gets an A- too. Goal #1 was soft. Great the rest of the way. But he only had a handful of tough saves. Ellis had a dozen at least.

After watching that I have to ask how many of our guys have a tramp stamp on their lower backs?

Only on a team like the Sabres where nothing ever makes any sense could the losing goalie who gave up 5 goals turn out to be the best player on the ice.

Loser points give you too much imo. I really think the league needs to look at a 3,2,1 system. 3 points for a regulation win. 2 points for an OT win and 1 point for the OT loss. I think that might put it back on track for .500 actually meaning .500 but maybe not. I'm just speculating.

Ask Brawndo. He might be busy watching the 2032 Stanley Cup finals though.

Can't, he's the guy they have been grooming to promote to HC.

Done with concerts for the year, but closed out the year with a bang. Saw Jason Bonham and his band perform Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti 50th anniversary show. Awesome. They added some hit songs at the end as well. His guitarist, Jimmy Sakurai, was amazing. Just got home from seeing David Bryne. A unique and terrific experience. He mixed his solo songs with Talking Heads hits with a crazy stage and light show and a completely mobile band. It's almost impossible to explain, but it was part rock concert, part stage show, part marching band. These videos give a feel for the show. If you get a chance, go see both shows.

Ya, Doan is third line on many teams and 4th line on a really good team. He's playing too far up the line up because we lack veteran Zucker types. So you think Doan is a top 6 guy then? Really?

Just to be clear, I'm not saying YOU need to ignore stats. You do you. I'm just saying stop trying to convert me to your world view. We will never agree and you can throw boomer around as a faux insult or whatever else makes you happy but it's pointless. We see the game differently and always will. You do you, but also let me be me.

Meh. His effort and being a black hole when he has the puck are annoying enough to make me consider moving him.

Checks notes, came with Seth Appert from Rochester. Makes sense

You know they will.

and this is why you don't jump on the bandwagon too soon with this team. I'm not surprised by this. It's much like the Boston games were. Philly plays a tight D first system with movement along the boards. Very north south and very in your face and tight. Sabres have not done well against that sort of thing for years and it doesn't change. Too many lost puck battles, bad net front, and sloppy mistakes. Don't blame Ellis, their goals were all dirty or tough to stop efforts. Ellis made some big saves when he had a chance. As many of you know I've been comparing the Philly plan with the Buffalo plan since they started around the same time. This is far from definitive but tonight they were the better team and look like the better plan. I see a better foundation there even if they have less high end skill. Again, far from definitive, but at the moment that's what it is. Refs were a little too active in this game for my tastes but that too is what it is and their PP won out. So ya, back to fire Adams.

As has been stated many times before. The power play coach needs to be fired along with every one else

Almost but not quite. I want a Lindy redemption run. It’s highly unlikely but I want it anyway.

Went to the David Byrne concert. Not sorry I missed the game.

I knew we shouldn't have hired Carter Hutton
