Not a'tall sure who he is, but he has a solid A hockey name. Good enough for me. He even sounds tough. Those two K sounds are nice.

It would do wonders for probably half the fan base if KA can show he can walk and chew gum at the same time.

The Islander series was the final handwriting on the wall. Something was off.

You got T'd up! You don't remember their record after St. Patty's Day!?

When he leaves? Does he want to? What if the Devils make a huge playoff run? Given my suspicion that Lindy wasn't really fired in 2013 but saw the writing on the wall, I think he'd have to be convinced that the Sabres are all about winning. Why is that sea change going to occur? Just to get Lindy back? I don't see it happen. I'd be happy if it did, not because I was wrong but bc it would necessarily mean a new tack for our beloved franchise.

SCTV skit: The food is good, but the service is a little slow.

Luke sits in a corner and eats his oatmeal through a straw.

It was nice knowing you.

This is an odd take to me. You're making almost a personal attack on some fans (if I'm understanding which fans you are talking about) . It's not hard to understand what's going on here. Most fans think the dream of a lifetime is at hand, but they see signs it might not be the year after all. It's neuroticism mostly. It's not about enjoying a win anymore. That's Bills 2019ish. See also 2006-2007 Sabres.

In a dark period for me as a fan, I am thankful for those of you who are keeping my candle flickering (and for Thorny, who keeps my "candle" "flickering"). On nights like last night, I can glimpse the future. The vision fades quickly though.

I go back to kid Ovechkin in his Sabres jacket. What coulda been. And 99 was a Sabres fan. As an aside I always thought McDavid wanted to be here for the same reason but never saw confirmation except for rumblings on draft day re: his seeming disappointment.

I saw Erik Rasmussen in Casey for sure. Sure was. Good on the crew who produced it. Sabres hockey... When it's good, it's good.

LGR was due for a good post. I kid.

Just for S&G's, the 05-06 Sabres sat 8-9 on 11/12 and had already been routed three times by the Senators.

They are the Montreal Canadiens.

Canadians.

See the title from last night. It can be debated whether 11's follow on is in the same vein. Scholars will study this well into the future.

I see what you did, 11. Two in a row... Might work.

Bill Clinton... Slippery when wet.

Fine. But you think once they both come back the Sabres will improve to close to a 98 point pace. You think they will fall short of that in the end. But by how much? This one def. will get bookmarked.

A good lesson about sports. Seasons like last season are rare. It was the Bills' 2005-2006. Like the Sabres' run it should have ended with glory. The follow on season was a letdown and the Bills are following suit. The lesson makes the Sabres' current "plan" all the more laughable. Instead of having a reasonable shot every year of winning a ticket to the dance, and every so often having a real shot at it, they choose to be one glorious Cup machine... in 2031.

Admirable that you own yet another terrible preseason prediction. Are you really doubling down? The Sabres will get back to a 96ish point pace? Or do you mean starting from scratch once the two saviors return?

This is based on literally nothing.

Slump? Are you serious?
