Sushi = tapeworm risk. Just saying.

Count me in on dumping Hodgson, but many of you knew that already. deluca makes the case very well. My thoughts on Hodgson have no bearing on Kassian, other than the equation that Swamp makes, which I agree with. Both players minuses supercede their pluses, and neither belong on a contending team.

Did Crosby come into his draft with the same amount of hype McDavid is getting?

What does that have to do with McDavid?

FWIW, I'm with you. I think Tank Nation is conveniently forgetting the odds do not favour a McDavid slam dunk and could very well be setting themselves up for a disappointment when the Sabres draft, oh, third in 2015.

You forgot this feline interpretation of the Sabres' play tonight:

Absolutely. No worries for the net-minders.

Odds of tying this up with 56.9 left to go?

Hot frickin' garbage.

Why do the Sabres skill guys stay parallel to the boards when they're bringing the puck over the blue line? Why not take it in towards the slot?

Tank Nation must be pleased.

The curse of PLF.

They do need to retain some "scoring".

Damn, something crawled up Ennis' ass today. He's pretty vicious when he wants to be.

I can't believe this is just the end of the second...we have a whole other period of this hot garbage to go!

Nolan is clever; he's just making sure Leino's fate is sealed.

Hey, this is the kind of game that brings a team together.

Does pro hockey get any sloppier?

Leino sucks.

"Neuvirth" sounds like a cute, little Japanese-created creature. RJ is drunk on vitamin C.

Ugh, the principal camera location sucks there. I hope they never get a Cup final, what a pain to watch.

They're starting Luongo? Okay.

Really impressed by Neuvirth's interview: he's a Sabres fan because he was a Hasek fan, and he recognizes that this team is rebuilding and said it is a great opportunity for a young team to grow together. Unless Neuvirth bombs, I think the Sabres are already set with thier goalie combo.

You're not building if the goal is to continue to tank. Because they could easily ice a team next season that could compete for eighth. The only way around this is to trade for some other lower-tier team's 2015 first round. Then, they could re-build, yet still take solace that they have a shot at McDavid.

If it were like this, I would expect that a police report, or ambulance record exists somewhere.
