    Take pleasure? Sorry, but again, that’s the hockey gods phucking with us. They want me to take pleasure, they need me to take pleasure just so I’ll be that much more disappointed in the eventual outcome.

    I live in a colorless abyss of broken Sabres dreams. 

    If they ever do a remake on the movie "The Cooler" you might make a good choice for the lead. (William H. Macy role)

    Yeah, that’s the flash of brilliance I was referring to, which is just the hockey gods teasing us. 

    Hate the losses but take pleasure in seeing the development move forward. In years past the Sabres often had decent goaltending but couldn't score much. Obviously we need real help on our defensive depth (but we do have some super pieces) and goaltending. I'm sure other team's GM's are seeing the potential of this team but also seeing its weaknesses. They are assuming that GMKA, what with such a good offense, is desperate to fix the goals against. Those GM's are and will be playing hardball and attempting to extract every bit of blood from Adams that they can. Adam's job is first to do nothing that doesn't fit into their plan but to work like hell to find a way to improve without sacrificing their future.

    Me?  I would have run Jarry so hard that he would have been knocked out.  Of the game, that is.

    Sadly, that opportunity was not going to present itself since there was time for the Sabres to think better of it but no time left in a tie game (22 seconds?) to do it and/or to risk losing a point. As stated above, the officials need to control the game in a way that discourages retaliation. Opposite of that, goons will return and every team will ice a player or two that can fight but not skate.

    Your scumbag buddy Marchand used to live off that type of *****. 

    Geuntzel lost momentum right before and Skinner caves him in with a crisscheck to his *****in face. 

    At that point Skinner went down and all three of those ***** mashed his face in the ice. He got up bloody too. 

    They exacted their revenge and I guess that's ok? 

    Push off! 

     

    I made reference to this in last night's game thread but when the officials don't exact fair and equitable punishment for actions considered dirty then they just insure that somewhere down the line there will be a significant payback. I remember well when Briere, after a dump in peeled away to go to the bench. He wasn't looking or expecting anything and Ovechkin, in an illegal and filthy act crushed him from behind. There was no penalty called. Briere was sidelined for awhile and when the Sabres next played the Caps expectations regarding what Briere would do to Ovechkin added some suspense to the game. Eventually the moment was perfect for Briere to ram the butt end of his stick right where Ovechkin's balls were supposed to be. It was rumored that the officials refused to send Briere to the box due to the time honored NHL tradition of "no harm, no foul".

    Answer 2 is Kasparaitus.   Throwing the puck over the boards w/ no call was in Game 7.  But he DID get a stern talking to.

    Yes, Kasparaitus. In my defense, "G" is pretty close to "K". Thank you.

    Whenever the Sabres play the Penguins, certain memories come to mind that have missing pieces for me. Maybe someone here with a better recollection can fill in the missing parts of those memories and keep me from racking my brain instead of enjoying the games. I've tried Googling to get answers but all I get is the equivalent of the 99 ways to wash Cindy's balls. 

    So, I'll start out with a question for the old timers: 

    There was a game a long time ago prior to 1986 between the Sabres and the Penguins in which the dirty birds were ahead in the 3rd period by something like 5 goals. We made a late game comeback and #11 scored either the tying or winning goal from behind the net by flipping the puck over the net and off the back of the GT. In the odd chance that somewhere that game is on tape I'd like to watch it again. Does anyone have the specifics so I can try to find it? My sanity may depend on you guy's help.

     

    The good guys were leading the Penguins very late in what would be the playoff clincher against the Squealer's hockey counterparts. I was sitting at my corner bar with this big guy who only pretended to be my friend so that he could humiliate me over Sabre's/Penguin's games and try to make me think that my self worth was somehow connected to how the Bills compared to his "perfect team" that was worthy enough to be awarded something called "The Immaculate Reception". If that wasn't torture enough, the "Big Guy" drank his Iron City Beer out of a glass that was the size of a milk can and would chuckle when the bartender would bring me a 16 oz glass that he considered just the right size for a shot of Monongahela Moonshine. At that time in the waning moments of the game, when his team was about to be serenaded with the old "Na Na Goodbye" refrain, some guy named Mario pulled a shot off that had to have been part of his personal deal with the devil. That shot not only tied the game but made it apparent that the "Big Guy's" team would go on to win, tie the series and of course take care of business in their clincher. I remember all of the aforementioned pretty well for an old guy but need help in recollecting the name of the Penguin's player who was universally despised throughout the league for his dirty play and got away with closing his hands around the puck (in the defensive zone) and throwing it over the boards. After that Mario guy's only moment in the sun and tying goal orchestrated by Lucifer, my mind pretty much went numb. For the life of me I don't remember if that moment when the puck was thrown over the boards happened in the tying game or the Devil's Disciple's clinching game. Anyway, I think that #@&%('s last name started with a "G" but have a 25/26 chance of being wrong.

    Anyone helping me out with the above answers will automatically be entered into my 1st Annual Toilet Brush Award with a chance of season tickets in the Orange seats.

    Thanks, @PASabreFan for getting us started.

    MUST WIN !!

    GO SABRES !!

    Revenge sex is the best sex, or something like that.

    Oh, a little tip for yous ... too many commas and not enough (not any) dashes.

    When I came here I wasn't expecting to get a tutorial on sex and punctuation. I disagree with your lesson plan and suggest that your advice be focused on instructing pupils to avoid colons and periods when having sex, revenge type or not.

    Wow, and I'm completely unsure how to judge them this year. They aren't terrible by any means but they aren't world beaters either. While the standings may not show it, they are definitely improving.

    They dominated for well over half of the game. Puck luck and good goaltending went against them. Pittsburgh had to be wondering what hit them before the officials started giving them Power Plays. I'm not saying those penalties weren't deserved but the Penguins got away with several that should have been called. For quite some time the Sabres moved the puck very quickly, forechecked and got in the lanes defensively to frustrate those ******. Offensively the Sabres look like one of the top teams in the league.
