Over the, checks his notes, ... , uh, Sabres. Ooooh, look at us, we're cool, we spotted the Sabres a 4-1 lead and came back. Big whoop.

Does anybody know wtf the NHL Network is showing the Sabres Avs game from Dec 3 tonight? THAT was THE game where the wheels fell off and the season was lost. What a bizarrely cruel choice of a game.

100% there was. They ALWAYS (well, almost always) had somebody in motion at the snap, and if it was Hill, he'd turned upfield WELL before the ball actually snapped. A bit tougher to cover when he's already fully accelerating at the defender prior to the ball being snapped. Waddle and the others were prone to doing that as well. But Hill was very blatent about it. And that was taken away from them before last season started.

His offense has regressed tremendously since the league started to crackdown on players (Hill, cough, cough, Waddle to a lesser degree, cough, cough) in motion turning upfield a step or 2 or 6 before the ball is actually snapped. Since that little cheat code got removed the O has been noticably easier to defend against. The players haven't changed significantly the past year+, but enforcement of the rules certainly has.

It finally opened up.

Anybody else still not seeing the Sabres site opening up the game feed?

Game effectively over. BJs with their 7th.

Costantini w/ the shortie v the BJs. 4-5. And the BJs don't choke after giving up the shortie. Regain the 2 goal lead on the same PP. 4-6.

Scoreboard operator KNEW the score would become 5-3; he/she just had the wrong team getting to 5 1st. BJ's with a full hand's worth of goals. 3-5.

It seems the person that normally is in charge of the shot clock in the MMArena is in charge of the scoreboard tonight. Since the game became 3-3, the score has been rolling from 3-3 to 5-3 back to 3-3 back to 5-3 with an occassional 0-3 on the way back to 3-3. So, at least THAT aspect of the team is back to regular season form. 😉 And now the scoreboard won't roll from 3-3 to 5-3 anymore as the BJs just went up to 4.

Anybody know if Melvin is any relation to Jiri Novotny? Had to do a double take the 2nd time Dunleavy mentioned that name.

Several of which will never be heard of again. 😉 Fug. Sabres gave up a shortie. Uuuuuugggggly. 3-3.

The Savage Redmond, err, Redmond Savage roofs it past the BJs keeper. 3-2 good guys.

Helenius has been much more noticable today. Hasn't scored yet but has been aronund the puck and getting good chances; and just got a coincidental minor for dancing with a BJ. And Östlund with a beauty. Top shelf on the 4v4.

BJs explode for a 2nd goal on a delayed penalty before they can go on the PP. 1-2. 13:40 left in the 2nd.

BJs tie it off a 1 timer from a cross ice pass. 1-1; 4 to go in the 1st.

Fiddler-Crab with the tap in on the PP. 1 - 0 good guys.

Reminder, the game starts in ~5 minutes.

Well, that would explain how you completely missed the message he was trying to convey.

Wadr, you seem to have missed the point of the video. Apologies for having wasted your time. 🍺

Those little blue pills are amazing.

It's a LONG video (over 23 minutes) and have no idea who this is that's saying it. But he has a very important message. Hope people watch; if not, whatevs. Love ya all.

Wasn't paying close attention but Östlund had a couple of great scoring chances that he was unable to bury.

Yes, you said fans want to hope after providing 10 reasons they shouldn't have any. Clearly you were taking the tenor of @dudacek's original post to heart.

Leinonen was definitely in for the 2nd half of the game. Didn't pay attention to who was in during the 1st half of the game. It might've been him getting the full game but not positive of that.
