Sodie pops in the press box?

Pete Weber. He called games on radio in 95-96 and 96-97. He's a terrific broadcaster and went on to do Predators games. I recall Pete saying, with a standing ovation ongoing before the final faceoff at the Aud, "This is the Aud the way everyone will remember it." Chills. He also had an awesome call of Plante's OT winner in '97.

When asked how long he intended to own the team, Terry motioned toward his children in the front row and said something like, "You're looking at the answer right here." (Very unsure of the wording, but that was the gist of it.) Two of his kids were adults then and are now 10 years older. Let's go.

Absolutely. Which is why an owner shouldn't be "running" anything without the hockey chops necessary to do so.

I'm having trouble finding the full presser.

I bet they lose us when they cash their checks.

You're BARKING up the wrong tree. Miss ya Clipper.

You asked about his headspace. It would have been on you.

We can't have anything nice. Screw you, hockey gods.

All linesmen look like the linesman from Goon.

That's a Sammer for sure.

Eichel FO% by season 1 — 41 2 — 38.9 3 — 41.5 4 — 47 5 — 46.9 6 — 53.4

These goals are shocking, shocking good.

"...in a 12:30 start."

You can't do dat.

Devils answer Sabres' hot start

Bad Dahlin, good Dahlin.

...

It feels like an Arbys afternoon.

The following strikes me as a quote that, although honest, could easily get one fired: “I’ll be really honest with everybody here that I’m trying to figure that (inability to score at even strength) out,” he (RaKru) said. “It’s no easy fix, but if we do get that momentum, we will be strong.” https://apnews.com/article/nhl-ralph-krueger-buffalo-archive-buffalo-sabres-1e2b5990708adc8eafa24bb66722938e

RaKru to the Buffalo News: "One of my biggest takes out of that game yesterday was the fragile psychological state of the team right now..." And to old Pal of SabreSpace Wawrow: "They’re fragile right now. They don’t believe in themselves and they don’t see themselves celebrating.” Coach was talking about how they can't imagine themselves scoring, only missing the net, hitting posts etc. https://apnews.com/article/nhl-ralph-krueger-buffalo-archive-buffalo-sabres-1e2b5990708adc8eafa24bb66722938e It's interesting comments like this came up. It makes me think I'm only half-baked.

I wasn't asking for Victor to reprise Risto's stick-twirling masterpiece then pay homage to Miro by miming making a phone call to his agent on an old-fashioned crank Tele Phone with the earpiece, followed by a monkey hump of the puck. My commentary was more about the overall team response, which was tepid, flaccid, outrageous.
