How was the cake? Also you don't look a day over 105.

Glad I didn't have to say it.

The LGR Thread Curse strikes again.

Punch's birthday. He'll be having Dodo's pineapple upside down cake after the big win tonight.

I don't see how that expression applies here. They need to win a lot and get a fair amount of help. Am I being a stickler?

Not to be too snarky (yeah right) but does this mean anything more than if we win out we're in? 103 points. There's just so little room for error.

Sometimes you gotta say what the *****.

Let's forget Arizona. Is this how some of you plan to weasel out of a good discussion? Straw Man in the Desert.

What if Terry's meddling (defined to me as the owner on a macro level telling the GM how to achieve the organizational goal of winning the Cup... First no restraint on spending/let's go for it, then a dig up the foundation teardown tank, then accelerate the rebuild then Economic Effective Efficient) brought the Sabres back to what worked so well for decades: the lean mean overachieve small market little engine that could? Which is where Terry started off and which might have carried right on if Darcy had been able to sensibly tap into fewer financial constraints? I'll hope for that and that the meddling is gone or limited and when the time is ripe the financial support will be there. I always said Terry COULD be the perfect owner. It's the slow jamming Jimmy Fallon rebuild that's making me nervous and suspicious.

I think fans are fans.

The youth excuse. The patience excuse. The injury excuse. The small market excuse. The uniform excuse. The...

For good reason: job security.

Does it matter?

Yeah. OK. But this makes me weep. This is The. N. F. H. L.

Vic shoulda been born in Etobicoke.

Which coaches will get fired for the atrocious D/PK?

Because clearly that would be a sign the Sabres are committed to winning.

What a murderers row behind the Sabres bench. Laughable really. Not a lick of success coaching at any level in the NHL. Ya get what ya pay for.

I also keep waiting to see the Sabres buckling down in the d zone. Lots of breakdowns without the grade A chances. Hockey is truly a funny sport.

Through the first... When does this get highly entertaining?
