I was off a little. Ted called the Forum and had them patch WGR radio into the live sound from the arena. WGR folks then mixed arena sound into Ted's call over the phone. Ted was watching CBC presumably as his son Joey used headphones to listen to the announcer and tell his dad about time remaining, penalties and the like. The attached pic is from Budd Bailey's History of the Buffalo Sabres. An open question is whether the game was shown on Channel 2 with Ted's call synched.

One of the more impressive ties ever. Montreal was a machine. They finished that season 60-8-12! I might dig up some more info on the following... Ted Darling couldn't make the trip and called the game from home. There's more to the story. As I recall his young son helped him produce a rather sophisticated show using arena sound from Munreal.

Semantics? Something happened to his brain for sure. If it happened to you on the street, you wouldn't go right back to your office. Right away or the next day IMHO. You'd be in the ER.

In 2023 America you are tilting at peppermills (which have microchips), my friend.

To put things in perspective, since 12/7 when this thread was started the Sabres have gone 14-6-3. That's a 110 point pace for a full season. They've made up five points on the final playoff spot. What they're doing is impressive and shows how hard it is to stay in a playoff race after getting off to a slow start. And they'll have to continue to stay hot the rest of the way, although not 110 point pace hot, to make it. 33 games to go!

So fans of a franchise that has been out of the playoffs for 12 years are taking shots at a highly successful GM whose team is right with us in the standings? Time will tell if Lou is old news and the Sabres are avant garde.

I gotta say despite not liking OT or the SO and would rather just have a tie... That goal by TT was a Whoah! moment. The turning on of the jets and then the laser shot... whoah! Double whoah! Whoa. Whoah. Woah. I hate our language sometimes.

Not for his well being? Are we over Damar already? Of course he suffered a brain injury. Of course in a civilized world he'd get ample time to recover.

It is. Treat these men like human beings, not slabs of beef. Not sure what that means lol. Always wondered about practicing in the morning when most games are at night.

I think we feel connected to Buffalo. We're 2, 4 and 7 country. We knew Irv, Rick and Tom. We fly out of Buffalo and go to the Galleria and the accent is closer to Buffalo's than Pittsburgh's. A touch over an hour up the 219 and we're at Rich. An hour to the south is the PA Wilds. Deer. Bear. Pittsburgh is 4 hours away. This is solid, rock solid, Bills country with a lot of Steeler fans of course. As for hockey it's more Sabres than Pens I'd guess, but the gap is narrowing with younger fans going Burgh for obvious reasons. Oddity: we are in both the Sabres and Pens TV market.

Flashing light gif is missing. Uh oh.

Meme warmup lol

But not for cornerbacks. That's why I'm surprised. Secondary coach and a safety coach. Offensive line coach but no tackle coach.

I used to be able to eat a whole one. Now mother and I share it.

TIL they have safety coaches now. What's next, individual portions of tapioca pudding?

You remain a pod. But you're our pod.

I don't get it.

Again, welcome. Tonight we have pistachios and no bake oatmeal cookies for snacks while we read your preseason outlooks from now until the end of time. Look under your placemats for my artisan, organic Franks Hot Sauce Lube. I love Buffalo! -Miro

I know, right. I hate how good they are and how they beat us. Plus the Cup banners. Boooooo.

I find that sad. I'm anti-drinking of course. Been drunk twice in my life and vowed to never do it again. Battin' .500 so far.

Welcome to Hell!

Put on CNN! They're saying Bubba got some action in the Oval!
