K-9

Eichel is starting to feel his chops a little bit. Much less dump and chase when he is carrying the puck out there and it's nice to see opposing defenders having to respect his speed so much. That said, not enough pucks in the net to even begin to think we are any good at this point. GO SABRES!!!

Pitiful, isn't it? His last five periods have seen him give up three goals while his team has given him zip. We are simply not very skilled offensively. GO SABRES!!! I stand corrected. Clearly, Linus is slowing us down offensively.

We had our feet moving in that period. But we needed to score a couple times because I think the back to back is going to catch up to us in the second. GO SABRES!!!

What's the SECOND shortest honeymoon on record? GO SABRES!!!

4th in six and the second half of a back to back after traveling home to face a good, fast team, rested and waiting. Why don't I have a warm fuzzy about tonight's outcome? Somebody talk me off the ledge. GO SABRES!!!

Pretty much sums it up. We are just not ready for primetime. And the other teams have really good players, too. GO SABRES!!!

I'm guessing the top is for broiling and that both can't be used at once in that oven. Although, you could get a nice browning effect by switching to broil after it's baked a bit. Hmm.

So, a week off only to come back to 5 in 8 starting last night, including a 3 in 4 concluding with the Islanders in the second of a back to back on New Years Eve. I am officially charging the league with a conspiracy to punish the Sabres for the last two years. GO SABRES!!!

Speed kills. Especially when combined with patience and he really showed that on the entire play that led to his goal. When he has the puck in the O zone, I have confidence he is going to find a guy to make a play. He has been doing that all season and we just haven't been able to finish. I hope this sparks a run for the kid. GO SABRES!!!

d4rk with the clubhouse lead. Outstanding work, all, gentlemen.

I hear ya. but where goal differential matters, it was smart to pull the goalie and try to get one, too.

Tears, I tell ya! Phuckin' tears from laughing so hard!

It's the MODO pancakes.

Last I heard, they said sometime in January. GO SABRES!!!

Why am I worried that a week off and no team skating since last Sunday is gonna have these guys come out flatter than JJ's Swedish panny? GO SABRES!!!

I don't see a twitter handle for Ryan O'Reilly. Coincidence? I don't think so. GO SABRES!!!

Interesting food for thought.

'Bout it, bout it, home skillet! I ain't be fakin jacks, yo!

Good points, all. I think it's safe to say Trump and Cruz are entrenched, which is why they will snap their spines swinging towards the middle if either entertains thoughts of carrying a national election. I see Hillary needing to adopt some of Bernie's planks, so I don't think it'll be as hard a swing to the center for her before all is said and done.

Who's gonna strain their back the most when they do that center pivot, the R candidate or the D candidate? Is Mitt out of traction yet? He popped a few vertebrae when he did his 180.

Word up, homes!

Anybody else remember the Boston College basketball point shaving scandal some 35-40 years ago? Didn't think so. Must be something in the Bahston air.

I don't know, it would be nice to have GoDD going all out to convince us Eichel was involved; it is right up his alley. Especially for a player he didn't show much affection for in the first place. GO SABRES!!!

If this was addressed earlier, my apologies. On the delayed penalty call on Fransen, why wasn't the penalty waived off after Chicago scored? GO SABRES!!!

Trump lacks Downey Jr.'s command of the language, though. But they are both paragons of public discourse.
