Greenway had plenty of time to do some housecleaning behind the Buffalo net. Darn. Ellis talks into his sleeve

Let's go, Sabres!

I'm not done. Feel free to go ***** yourself in the meantime. I still have to figure out how they got to Marty and Rob driving back to Buffalo from NYC and getting a speeding ticket. Perhaps the trooper lost colleagues in the South Tower.

I think I got it. This is the 10 year anniversary of Butt Goal. Rick called it. We miss Rick. It's a time of year when we miss people we lost. Like those lost on 9/11. The Sabres are in Manhattan.

Why are they talking about 9/11? Wait, now they are joking about Rob getting a speeding ticket.

Duffer just transitioned from Butt Goal to 9/11 in 2.7 seconds flat. A truly odd man.

I am here.

Wow y'all got back into the Bills.

That was Opie. Play along.

Fear of what or who would follow? Does this group know how good it has it?

I apparently need to listen to Dahlin myself, but that quote at least threatens to hurt the connect the team and the fans want to have. Is he though?

True dat. I always wonder how in the world people separate defense and offense in hockey. Are they actually pigskinny fans? When it's too tough for other 100 year olds...

Ladies and gentlemen please stand if you are able. Today SabreSpace lost one of its own in a tragic home computing accident...

A what?

Laggards. Great word.

But would Torts admire them?

I needed @Mango during the trial! Well done.

I think some (most?) are missing the subtlety of the question. Didn't you ever ponder whether you'd be upset if you never saw a specific friend or family member again? There are family members I would not be upset to never see again. What Sabres do you love? I would stop short of love but I admire Gus a lot and would care if he were traded without ever seeing success here. Kyle is close to that but hasn't been here long enough.

We'll leave the light on for you two. And yeah I am incredibly envious of Weave.

Maybe Christmas Eve if you're good.

Remember the wild run the Sabres were on when Terry was introduced as owner? Every game was critical. They were trying to do something almost unprecedented. A cut before a faceoff to the new owner. Back to the ice holding a glass of wine talking to someone else in the suite not interested in the game. There's your money shot.

Onto my obsession with Brian Duff. At the very top of the second intermission report, with the fans' booing surely still echoing around the arena, with the Sabres down 7-2, he jokes about the scarf Marty gave him. To Marty's credit he wasn't rude but quickly pivoted to commentary about how unforgivable the NHL is and if you're going to play as poorly defensively as the Sabres did, any team is going to light you up. Free Marty! Add one more thing to the list of things we need but will not get: someone to play Brian Blessing to Marty's Roby.

Watching the second period. Why? I didn't feel like cutting my thighs with a dull razor again. Gets old. First minute Cozens and Samuelsson give the puck away in the d zone. What's a coach to do? Probably nothing but in the context of the season and the game and the home record, a coach could also plant one or both on the bench. The booing was quite remarkable. Not for the intensity but the timing. Being booed during is something new to this Sabres fan. Deserved. Maybe TaroT can confirm but it sounds like the usual PA guy got the night off. The replacement sounds equally morose. Why can't there be any life?
