It's difficult to process what I'm seeing: this Sabres team, tonight, looks good.

I applaud this humor.

This shines a bright light on where the team is at. They're afraid to make mistakes, because it seems they don't have the confidence in themselves to recover from mistakes. I can see how players can spiral downward individually and collectively into this abyss of shame and self pity. Then here come some kids who aren't tainted (...yet..?) to say "f&@k that, let's win this". How long does it last? Surprisingly, Ennis appears to be avoiding a complete submersion into the pit.

Nazi. You can gas my iPod for that. I was on the toilet when I posted that.

I like how everyone is trying to claim presence on the ineffectiveness of Cody Hodgson.

Are they done hogging up all of the server space on the Bills forum? Because I've been waiting hours to post this: Pull the goalie! No way, man. No one has been trashing Hodgson for that long, or pretty much since he's been here...not a soul.

You know, I think I'm beginning to realize that Hodgson is an awful player. Anyone else agree with that?

Enroth walking the tightrope!

Back within 2! Time to turn it up, boys!

19 shots against in the first? Poor Enroth.

I'm sure Minnesota has plenty of goals left for you to see.

Pull the goalie!

Haha! Two goals in the first by the Sabres is enough to get a goalie pulled.

4...5...6...we want 7!

At least it isn't a shut out.

Dunleavy: "this crowd is quieted early..." So, just how far back are we going, Dan, to define early?

If anyone listened to the Pegulas and Murray over the past couple of days and has not concluded that this is the plan, well, then you're not listening.

Re-sign him!

Or you had to lower your standards to justify the time spent here.

Matty Mo and his eyebrows get number 1 for the season.

I'm sure this album features an appropriate league theme song:

Mezaros is Tank Commander II.

OMG re-sign Drew!

The devil you say.

So, if they do better when they are having fun and the bench is active, why not load up the bench with whoopee cushions, silly string and the like. Hire a comedian to keep telling jokes throughout the game. Have Teddy learn to juggle.
