Not really. It's the kind of thing where the call on the ice will stand because there's not indisputable video evidence to overturn. Doesn't mean the puck didn't cross in the glove, just that we can't prove it.
Totally=indisputable. Damn words.

SabreSpace likes to overthink stuff. Why can't you be disappointed AND patient? They're 2-7. They still can't score. Expectations were reasonably higher than this.
-
You're right, but that's totally a goal.
That makes no sense. If it's totally a goal, it's totally a goal.

The Wife, and I..
OK, but wait... whose wife, exactly?

Didn't watch the ep but through the twitterverse, heard what happened. I'm all for losing main characters, early and often. It's the walking freaking dead not Gilligan's island.
ha! That was one of the first things I heard from the devotees of the comics -- don't get attached to anyone! The show has let me down in this regard. Next to go: Carl. Totally useless character at this point.

This is not an investment. I just don't want to lose money. But you're right. It's my risk. But I think this is a "canary in a coal mine" thing, indicating that fan interest in the Sabres isn't where we think it is.
The interest is probably never as high as the marketing people want us to think it is. I always laugh at the buildup for the season openers... it's gonna be craaaay craaaaaaay!!!!!! Then there's one Let's Go Buffalo chant and people go to sleep. When I come to games I can never reconcile what I hear in the media about "hockey mad Buffalo" and the atmosphere in that building. Winnipeg, it ain't.

lol. The wife thinks the other dude landed on top of him and those were the other dudes guts n stuff and that there will suddenly be a large noise to pull all the zombies off and he'll be left lying there thankin his lucky stars. Its a stretch sure but its all she's got. :blink:
That was my thought. The only other option they have is, "It was all a dream."

I like McDavid's fire there, getting right in the face of the ref. That's literally the only McDavid action I've seen this season. Does he play with that kind of emotion? I can't say it's a hallmark of Eichel's game yet.

So you used to be a young girl and now you're a tree?

Can you imagine what a new Bills stadium will cost the taxpayers?
-
Oh my goodness! The coil has been lifted from my eyes! I understand it all, now!
How would the taxpayers' money be any better spent if the Bills were a powerhouse year in and year out?
I love how you competently place your apostrophes. Bringing sexy back to SabreSpace.
-
I'm always amazed that the Bills can continue to get free passes from their fan base, yet the Sabres, who have just completed what is arguably a successful tank and have one of the best young talents in the league, are already being criticized to death for not winning immediately. Buffalo sports fans must be the biggest f*cking rubes in the world.

That's great CD. Thanks for sharing. And the historical footnote about the plaque is very cool. I'll check it out for sure next time.
Here's a short funny video about Jimmy. Turns out he shared an odd and very unexpected coaching habit with none other than Ran Ralston:
-
I know I'm a little stinkah in this thread from time to time. But I honestly feel bad for the real Bills fans. It's just a nightmare. I want them to win, but I'm not one of you anymore. I just couldn't do it anymore. I don't know how so many have hung on for so long. If the day ever comes, you should be at the head of the parade.
-
takes Tpegs a while to catch on----but eventually he gets it. Despite the Sabes losing record they are def on the right track with some great young talent and a good GM and coach
So he gets it, forgets it, then gets it again? Why is Whaley the GM? Did Terry say, "I can work with him"?
-
For the love of God do not ###### this up.
Don't you have some Hoovering to do?

I'm sure the coaches got a full explanation. The refs always talk to captains and/or coaches after reviews.
I also doubt a coach can or would challenge a play that was already reviewed. The officials aren't going to change a call they made after just watching it and reviewing it.
Would this be too much to ask: Ref waves off the goal. He skates to center and announces that under rule blah blah blah there's no goal because the goalie made the save and was pushed into the net with the puck. The play is not reviewable. Then everyone, the coaches, the players, the media, the fans at home and in the building, and Toronto know the deal. Toronto isn't in the dark and they don't blow the horn and have an unnecessary conversation and people don't assume Toronto is "looking at it." There's a faceoff and the game goes on. It's one thing the NFL seems to get right.
-
Didn't Eichel's goal bounce off the defenseman's skate and go up top? That's what I saw.
Yeah, but I'm talking about how he worked the puck around the Devil who was basically on top of him.
-
Two loose ends from last night. Not sure if they've been discussed, but I don't think they have been.
Why was Legwand's apparent goal in the early going of the game waved off? And why does the NHL make the fans and media guess? OK... I found a "Situation Room" video on nhl.com that says the ruling was that the goalie was pushed into the net together with the puck after making the save. Not really, but fine, why didn't the referee announce that? Why isn't the call on the ice announced before the review? It's so, so sloppy, and quite sketchy. How in the world is Bylsma supposed to decide if he wants to challenge the play if he doesn't know the reason the goal was waved off?

Also — on Eichel's goal, it's pretty amazing how he changed the angle on his shot to work the puck around the New Jersey players' skate up top. More sleight of hand. Is it possible to curve a shot?

I have a problem with almost every one of those listed
Which one didn't you have a problem with?
BTW the TSC Executive Committee is meeting later today to talk about throwing you out.

The 5 worst moves in Sabres history. I think we can all guess #1
http://thehockeywriters.com/5-worst-moves-in-buffalo-sabres-history/
Trading Dave Andreychuk to Toronto in 92-93 for Grant Fuhr, when you had Dominik Hasek on the roster belongs on this list.

Says the speculator. Or is buying seasons so you can 'attend 3-4 a year for free' not speculation?
I don't get it. Why can't it be both? Why can't he be a fan and a speculator? Who cares why he buys seasons? I'm sure he has many reasons and they are all wonderful.
-
I think it means nothing. As soon as possible for a severed leg is never.
:w00t: The first party they sent out from that airplane crash in the Andes said they'd be back ASAP.

For those who enjoy the Yeichel saga, and there are at least two of us... tonight Rick said Eichel, then Yeichel in calling Jack's goal. I am solidly back to my original theory — it's a glitch in Rick's coconut and not a planned call. He just sticks a Y in front for some reason. I *think* he even did it earlier in the game when Eichel had the puck. (But the fact it doesn't pop up more often does make me wonder if my theory is all hogwash.)
Buffalo is still Sports He11, isn't it......
