Now I know why his controller looked disconnected the shift before. He was saving it.

ESPN totally gooched the Habs. As soon as they showed the graphic of OV's OT playoff count (45games, 0 GWGs) you just knew it was over. Unreal.

Was it any more riveting after a good night’s rest?

Ya know, working outside today in the 84 degree heat, I’m reminded of something,… just how much I hate summer. Winter is just better.

Absolutely. If he isn’t the poster child for this team needs more vets then I don’t know what is. I couldn’t tell if he was consciously saying this to Kevyn with the answer about his leadership this year. I don’t think they would have had the stupid stick tap boycott if he was on the team last year.

How many times do you think the word "obviously" was said yesterday?

What members of this board thought is irrelevant, though. Plus, I don’t ever remember a time where nobody didn’t say that we needed vets to help the youngins.

He signed players that would not play in order to get to the cap floor. I cannot believe that a GM would do that for any reason other than he was told to by the owner, either directly or by having to fulfill some directive (ie: OSP’s "just don’t lose money").

I honestly can’t believe that people still give a crap about that.

Am I the only one who doesn’t ever remember a “playoffs or bust” statement? In fact, I remember KA would say almost everything leading up to that, but never had the conviction to ever say that. If there is video or an article of him saying that, I’d love to see it.

I’ll probably just chuckle a little, similar to if someone showed me an amusing Marmaduke cartoon.

Oof.

Sabres are getting shut out tonight. And Quinn’s shooting % continues to trend in the wrong direction.

I think it’s crap they didn’t blow the play dead when his mask was off. Why should play be blown dead once the Sabres get the puck?

There are some 0-0 games that are awesome. This ain’t one.

Are there any actual armories anymore? Or have they all been turned into indoor sports complexes?

THE FUTURE!!!!!!

You know they are going to happen. Let’s just hope it’s both on one play.

There is no way that Matthews doesn't get his 400th tonight. The Sabres have never met a milestone they didn't let happen.

Sure.

This is mind blowing. Un-*****-believable actually. Am I going to have my phone checked when I come back from visiting family in the fall? Stoner is right. This can’t be swept to back rooms anymore.

LTIR until the playoffs.

Really going out on a limb, there. I guess I’m as smart as an algorithm, cuz I came up with that all on my own, with zero simulations run.
