Probably a loss. The xG% (expected giggle percentage) must be higher when the Sabres have won the previous game. He has cover. We know what happens after the Sabres win.

I forget, is that a predictive indicator of a win or loss? I've got to start writing this stuff down... 😆 Please tell us you weren't standing next to him at the urinal.

Duffer is giggling, a lot, early.

They originally were 8PM (well, 8:05PM) unless they were the rare afternoon start, but sometime in the 80's they did move primarily to 7:30PM (well, 7:35PM). They've been primarily 7PM starts for a long time.

Not to answer my own question, but I found a program from 84-85. Sunday home games 7:05, all other home games 7:35. Well done, Doohickie.

Why? Lindy typically goes with the hot hand and I thought Ellis played very well the other night (outside of the shootout). Ellis, in my opinion, gives them the best chance to win at this point in time.

I once bumped into Stevenson at a restaurant in Chicago. Not much else to the story, but I always remember that when his name comes up. I also bumped into John Muckler at a bar in Chicago when he was still the Sabres GM. Had a great conversation with him. He was wearing a very nice gold watch with a Sabres logo.

What color is your shawl or afghan?

I will accept pretty much only TaroT's answer... was Doohickie correct to say Sabres home games at one time started at 7:30 on a regular basis?

No. We're last in the conference and 4th last in the league... we don't have adequate anything.

So, wait. It's OK to refer to the University of Pittsburgh as Pitt but not OK to call the city of Pittsburgh Pitt? Pit, however, is good.

I'm going to try to be a fan again tonight. I went with no show white socks instead of heavier grey socks along with the cozy red and black lounge pants (it doesn't matter that it's not a red and black night). And shirtless of course. This should work.

8, the answer so far has s 8.

Is Kesserling expected to be out for the season? As you and others have pointed out, this team is starting to have depth and internal competition. So when injuries inevitably happen, the replacements can adequately fill in.

The stats literally give you information about what happening on the ice.

So we have no backup D if someone gets a hangnail during warmups. We'd have to skate 13-5. I think Kozak might be okay in the 3rd D pair.

During the drought, he was the one coach that actually had a winning record (9-7, but still) when he got fired.

I should have posted a pic of McD instead because my joke was completely over your head. Jauron and McDermott weren’t the first two coaches to tell us how hard it is to win. Coaches in every sport have uttered this at various times.

Any truth to the rumor that the Steelers will be filing elder abuse charges against the Bills' defense on Rogers' behalf?

You can get lost in stats, and stats guys will never agree, but it's what you see on the ice that really matters. You can see the differences clearly if you watch other games with better teams and what they do compared to what the Sabres do and don't do. That's the comparison for me.
