"It was a cluster." 😂

Olofsson pulled a Jack. It’s almost impossible to make yourself offside. We’ve seen two Sabres do it in a week.

Commercial on a penalty call?

8-7 Sabres. Every goal for both teams scored while Mittlestadt and Skinner are on the ice.

With all the angst about the Sabres there is not enough input in this thread. We need to let go and enjoy life. Their newer album is equally as magical. https://snowpoet.bandcamp.com/album/thought-you-knew

It's definitely a machine, if only figuratively.

He’s been better than Asplund and Rieder. Lazar’s been a surprise.

I don’t factor salary into my rankings. I don’t get the Okposo hate.

8 Okposo/Mittlestadt

They’re just theories. They aren’t weird ones, though. Not even close. The idea that an owner who is shelling out 9 million dollar contracts plays no part it them is equally as weird an idea. I guess you’re lucky that the burden of proof is on us,... for some reason.

I thought Botterill Himself even said he was against long term contracts.

I honestly can’t believe I didn’t remember this thread until just now. Ironically enough, I revived a dying bat tonight. I’m totally serious. When I showed up at my buddies house to watch the game (I’m in NJ and don’t have cable), he was at the door and there was a bat on the sidewalk. It was flying around in his house and he had just stunned it trying to get it out. Three hours later as I was leaving, it was still there and not doing well. I asked him for a box or something and I would take it,... “meh, somethin’ll get it.” I walk to my truck and turn the key,... then turn it off. Screw that. I’m either going to end him quick or try to help him. So I got a plastic cup and a shovel, collect the bat and head home. I held the cup to the heater the whole way home (only about 10 minutes.) Nothin’. Leave the truck running with the warm air blowing on him for another 10 minutes in the driveway. Nothin’. And then he starts scratching at the cup. I get out of the truck and fling the cup in the air. Away he flew. I’ve done my part.

That wouldn’t elicit a response from his agent.

Just use bandy nets.

It depends. A lot of times. the play is to tie them up so that your teammate can get the puck. Good post. Totally agree. Absolutely (Jack). Or even worse, not passing to the teammate already at the blue line with speed, causing him to either have to stop or go offside (again, Jack). I've been thinking this same thing. They work so hard to get the puck, then just waste the possession.

Do you watch other games besides the Sabres? I have watched some really good games this year. They had fights, big hits, lots of scoring, and good competition. Unfortunately, none of them were Sabres games.

But now dump a bag of potato chips and some leaves on the green and try to make those putts. If I (not a pro golfer) makes 9 out of ten because of some whacky redirections due to a curl in a leaf or an extra crunchy chip, then yes, I would say I was lucky.

Ftr, I didn’t need the numbers to know we lead the league. and I bet you could get that Gatorade data.

Small correction. The last meeting was Feb 23. Sabres won 4-1. I have to believe that one of our “top” players is going to score and the Sabres take it.

***** Brind’Amour. If they called the dot back then the way they do now, we would have won that series, as the Sabres would have had 26 mins of PP time a game.

There are 6 other teams?

The Habs got robbed on a ridiculous Goalie interference call with 2.1 secs left. They then went on to lose in the SO. I guess the league wants to keep the Sens relevant a little longer.😂

None. Four days ago we were wondering if they were ever going to score again. Now we're upset they didn't get the shutout? When are we actually allowed to be happy, if ever. Way worse.

He did it against Nashville.

I kinda thought they looked better the last two games. I think they win tonight.
