I was not being dismissive. I totally agree with you and you totally missed my point. My point was that even though you might not get to see it directly because of cloud cover, the experience of being there will still be completely worth it. I wish I could be there.

I think I feel the exact opposite is true.😂 I think the type of shot matters as well.

It would be a very short draft special on TSN. No team is competing with another team to try and acquire these guys. Vesey turned out to be a serviceable NHLer, but that is hardly high praise, and there are plenty of those guys out there.

Do people really not go outside because it’s cold or raining? There is no bad weather, just bad gear. Of course, if the reason you are going out is to see the sun, it might be an issue. 😂 But K-9 is right, although you might not see it directly, at this point, does anyone really not know what a total eclipse looks like? It will still be kinda nuts to be outside in total darkness during the day. Wish I was going to be there.

But I vacuum righty.

I agree. You have to remember that when we talk about the Sabres around here, we are talking about their ”potential” talent, not their actual talent.

I disagree and always find it weird that so many right handed people shoot right. A lot of hockey is played with only one hand on the stick. Why would you use your non-dominant hand for that?

Next year is next year. Unless they get in, these wins will mean nothing. They are fun to watch, though.

Dude. Absolutely! We just had another one around 6pm. Only a 4.0 and much shorter. The earlier one was much longer and getting unnerving. All the neighbors came out and were standing in their doorways. Pretty wild.

Just had an earthquake here. F’n cool. 4.7 near Whitehouse station NJ. edit:updated to 4.8

Let me guess, hockey tournament in town?

Yep. And we’re both still wearing them while watching other teams play in the playoffs. Next year, though…

That is our fate as Sabres fans.

I don’t wear blue and gold glasses.

Did you copy/paste that from last April?

Said no Sabre fan ever. /s

He is most definitely not a legitimate first or second line talent. He may be one day, but he certainly isn’t now. And by saying we need good enough players around him to get to the playoffs would mean the he would be pushed to the third or fourth line on that team.

I hate having to wake up early, but love waking up early to have found that the Canadians were talking hockey. What a great way to spend drinking my morning coffee. Thanks @dudacekand @Thorny.

Of course the Sabres score more in the later periods. Once a team goes up by 3 goals, they usually do take their foot of the gas. I don’t think it’s because of slow starts. I think it’s because they are not very good.

It was a routine play along the boards. Others make that play a dozen times a game and don’t get injured. I actually think he got injured when he spun around, before he was even hit. And it’s both. The severity and frequency of his injuries are a concern. I really like him as a player. I just wish he stayed healthy and we got to see him play more. Even then, still not sure he is a difference maker that leads us to the playoffs.

I hope he breaks the record as a Sabre next year while leading the team to a Cup.

That was fun. I'll take that every game until we are eliminated.😂

But,… you were wrong.

Gotta get Skinner a goal.

Me too.
