No way. We beat them at home. They beat us at their home. Last change mattered. If the Sabres play this brand of hockey all year next year, they'll be in the playoffs. Eakin is Eakin. I'm way more pissed at Dahlin for doing the same thing on the first goal. I think everyone was trying to do too much in this game. They got too big for their britches and tried to get cute and it bit them. Meh. Better they learn now and not next year.

Carolina is a really fast, hard forechecking team and responsible for some of that sloppy play in our zone. The Sabres need to stay within their lane and just make the smart play. I dont wantbthem to get ahaed of themselves and try to do too much like they did in that OT against the Rangers.

That's two dumb plays that led to goals.

From a purely audio guy perspective, the crowd mics, and moreso, the ice mics are too loud. On both announcers' headset mics, there needs to be about a 3db notch at 300hz (mud) and a 4K boost to help the consonants cut a little more.

WOW!!!!

That was just dumb.

I'll say unequivocally that if this audio guy knew how to use an EQ, we would all feel differently about her PBP. She is not terrible. The audio guy is.

He really is made for radio. He's actually pretty good on the radio.

This audio guy sucks.

Both. No sibilance. Too much flapping'.

Sweet!!!!

Too much flappin' by the PBP, as well. Just call the game.

Nice!!!!

Sound of the announcers is awful.

NHL.TV doesn't exist anymore. All I have is ESPN+. The interface isn't the greatest, nor the archiving. Still doesn't keep me from watching between 1 and 3 games a night, Sabres or not, as well as In The Crease with my coffee every morning.

I don’t know this reference.

Does he have to? I really thought we were going to get a break after Risto left the team. There isn’t a single person on the the board that doesn’t know what Eakin is. I’m not even sure who LGR is yelling at.

Leave the room. No speaker in public,… punishable by death. I have a friend who does this (answers, hits the speaker button, then throws the phone on the table) and I want to kill him every time. Look, dude, they called you not me. I don't want to talk to this *****in person. Maddening.

I think I disagree. Only because he's a defenseman. Because they take longer to develop, you can get them for cheaper on their next deal because they haven't become who they are going to become yet. Burn that year.

I also thought what SDS thought when reading your post. This post makes me happy.

Ah, so you stopped drinking water as well? That makes sense, but,… why? It’s just a blood draw. You’re not trying to make weight. Did they have to squeeze your arm like a tube of toothpaste to get the blood into the vial?

If it helps, he said they accidentally iced the puck while on a power play.

And yet, in his own letter to his younger self, he says that his decision to run Mel Bridgman in the finals was what set the tone to allow him to win four Stanley Cups. Ironic, no?

Definitely not saying that. I just think that Bryson’s play has been a net positive recently.

I was just going to respond. I don’t understand people wanting to replace Bryson. He’s not perfect. Nobody is, but he makes so many plays that go unnoticed because of how cleanly they happen. Someone described it perfectly a few games ago, “you have puck, I’m taking it.” And you are right about Tuch in the offensive zone. He is frustrating sometimes. Where other guys lose the puck because they try to stick handle too much (Cozens), Tuch just flings it to no one for no reason sometimes.
