Someone check on Swampy.

Shades of Game 6. Heads up.

Rare dumb penalty.

Balanced scoring. Zemgus'es' play off the cage was cool.

Which makes me wonder... is the whole line the goal line or is it end line-goal line-end line?

Dahlin ties Bryson for best escape from below the goal line.

Bryson jeez.

So who did y'all root for, King Kong or Godzilla?

Great research on Godzilla there.

Hot damn. If true, it would be really fun to know what the biggest actual crowd was to watch a Sabres game at the Aud. I recall some Bills playoffs game where Uncle Van chastised the 117 (or something like that) fans who didn't make it to the game.

To the last sentence, attendance records show that the average attendance for 1975-76 through 1979-80 was 16,433 (regular season, I assume). So it looks like distributed tickets has always been the norm. Of course, it's possible back then they had no way of counting the actual attendance (unless there's a counter in the turnstile.) How did 1970s turnstiles work? There. Now this thread will never end.

I don't want this to end.

Rick's a dog. This thread wouldn't have been another Eichel rumor thread or even another Ville Leino's Greatest Sabres Moments. I dislike catch all threads. This one was fine.

JC, welcome to the club.

It's proportional.

Duffer scored some rare points with me by saying one of the good things about the pandemic is that Leaf fans hadn't been in the building. Later he pointed out with his giggling delivery that this would be the last time this season they would be in the building. If the organization has decided that Toronto fans are indeed Great Satans, that will be a very good thing. It goes glove in glove with Granato's "what the ***** have we been doing here?" style. Everything should point to winning.

Loved ESPN's announcer-free minutes toward the end. Ice level audio and low camera angles made it as close to being there as possible.

No player or coach interviews after the game. Interesting. Wonder if they closed the old lockerroom. Granato can't let them "learn to lose."

Terry. It's named for Rick Macleish.

I was hoping for wild and woolly one, but I'll take it.
