I love the stuff from the announcers during that first drive where the Packers got their TD in the first half. All that talk about trying to eat up the clock so you can keep the opposing offense off the field as much as possible. That's a bold strategy when you're down 14.

Thanks, I wasn't able to find it. The guy is out there tackling with body checks. It's hilarious.

Was it Jordan Phillips who threw the incredible shoulder check at the line of scrimmage last night? I can think of a depleted blue line that needs some help.

Houser does not have an NHL contract. If he sees any time in Buffalo, it’s because the team is screwed.

Handshake lines after regular season games… it’s just asking for trouble

Cap space saved today accumulates over the course of the year and can be used later. If you spend half the year with $2 million in free space, you can add a $4 million player the rest of the way. So moving him now would give them a good amount of wiggle room come deadline time.

Pump up attendance a bit by giving away some tickets.

Do they need to consider going Regis-style and papering the crowd a bit?

Cap space. $2.2 million is a lot for a guy who isn't playing on a team that is at the cap.

This is where we find out if they’re a new team or not. The typical Sabres turn a stretch like this into a 5 or 6 game losing streak.

Oh it's just about every cashier down here. Most are able to get the message that zero eye contact = shut the F up, but there are a few who don't. There's this one kid at one of the grocery stores down here who I will actively avoid. His line can have only one person and I'll still go over to the 5 people with overloaded shopping carts line instead. And why does that line have so many more people already? They're avoiding him too.

Just focus on the name of the arena because it's absolutely amazing.

I've been buying a lot of pavers at Lowe's lately for a yard project. The cashiers have a ton of trouble finding the right price for them. I don't even want to know how that would work out at a self checkout. Not having to deal with an overly chatty cashier is all the reason I need to love self checkout. I'm sure it's mostly a southern thing, but there are cashiers around here who will ask you what your plan is for every single item you buy. "The shovel's for you if you keep asking questions".

I don't know if anyone goes to AMC theaters, but they play an ad before the movie with Nicole Kidman looking about as plastic as humanly possible. Yeah, he looks like that.

It’s looking like his deal with the devil is finally coming due.

So kind of like the old guy ramblings of the RJ-Neale combination? Sign me up.

That would be entertaining too.

Rob Ray is going to have some fun one liners tonight.

*****, no "do you know how I got these scars" GIFs.

He just might be the most important player on the powerplay unit right now too.

But outside of last year, the team as a whole was trending in that downward direction too. I'm not so sure it's much of an oddity.

What, no Peterka option? Just kidding. I hate the thought of Quinn in the pressbox long term (ie. more than a game or two), but there really isn't much of a choice at this very moment. Also, I normally wouldn't want 2 forwards up there other than for these long road trips. But with our cap situation, I don't think Sheahan is at the point in his career where he needs ice time.

This post makes me really wish the image was in alphabetical order.

A question for the AHL folks: how common is it to have two rookies sharing the net?

130s?
