At home the Sabres used to sit there and do nothing, and regret it for the rest of the day, so today they will do the opposite, and they will do something! Sabres 4, Canes 3 (OT)

Nobody... Nobody... Circles the calendars like the Buffalo Sabres.

I was wondering how they were going to pad it. I find those videos so useful. If anything remotely significant happens, it's in there.

Good lord.

Looking at discrete areas of performance is not the way to go. A major issue with this team is of course talent and roster construction. But as we saw last year they were close to achieving a very modest goal. And right now should be much closer to achieving that goal than they currently are. The bigger problem IMHO is that under merely modest expectations, a bunch of guys spit out the bit. They wilted. And to make that flaw in the team even more dire, they couldn't deal with a spattering of boos at home when they were stinking up the joint and LITERALLY one night (maybe even just a period) where a strong minority of patrons called for the coach's head in a near historic drubbing at the hands of one of the worst and possibly THE worst team in the league. Just before xmas to boot. You've got to weed those guys out. Okposo takes care of itself. Dahlin said he was bothered by the chant. If he in any sense led or agreed to the salute revolt, he has to go. Also he's dumb and overrated and I don't like the cut of his dull jib. Caffeine... Ask for it by name.

Well, nine. The problem (in addition to expecting the Sabres to go red-hot) is that four teams ahead of the Sabres are also trying to knock off the Bolts.

Who is it who makes the snarky banners?

Tuna is the opposite of salmon.

Columbus are not good.

Did you ever hear about hockey clappers?

There's a goal by the Sabres. Rick's ashes just flashed.

I try to like Dahlin. I really do. He is my salmon of hockey players.

Me too.

What did they ask? That the tape be burned?

The HHOF just called the arena and asked about the tape of this game. I'm with Rob. Never heard it.

Rob pines for the good old TBI days.

LGR foresaw this period IMHO.

I thought everyone died.

Hello. Kinda got scared there.

Louder reaction than in Buffalo.

In a long, distinguished posting career, perhaps the best of all time.

We all know how Sabres media works. Sabres media relations in concert with the hockey department determines what the story of the day is going to be. DG brings something up in the presser, and the player to be highlighted is made available. The lazy media eats it up because it's easier than doing any critical thinking. There's virtually no difference between what the writer employed by the Sabres and what the beat guys put out. Mike is the outlier and you all hate him for it. If you go back through GoBillsinDallas' collection of Sabres news stories this year and throw out the games, you'd get the impression the team was leading the Eastern Conference. So yeah Greenway is awesome. Big whoop.

I remember when Mother caught me calling Mrs. McPherson the local Tele-phone operator. She had such a sexy, husky voice. Smoked a cigar some boys said. I would ask for Doc Parker's line. Now I knew damn well it was Murray Hill 172. Still... I have the old phone to this day. And no Mother I did not go blind.

Future Sabres announcer in that clip. But only if "fine young man."
