I recall when Lyon stood in for Bob. Maybe we have that Lyon.

At least this is fun to watch. I remember a stint last season where the games were at least fun to watch.

Benson must be their leprechaun.

We're playing hockey!

Worth a shot. Just like the off-season plan.

Boo.

It's like watching the Bills. Both teams have the same owner: shocking.

Hopefully.

Kozak looks like a young Danny Gare.

You mean "defense".

Can they stop with the Krebs experiment and replace him with someone with at least a little talent?

Elite Defense Corps.

That's one of them there cutesy plays Ruff complains aboot.

Tuch making the argument for a discounted contract.

Can she drag it out any longer?

WNY is cursed.

Nothing, actually. Winning would be a deviation from the norm, so, one could argue that winning would be "wrong".

Mule and Dahlin sportin' sunburns.

The only thought that rolls through my mind as I watch this is "someone needs to be fired immediately after this game".

By whom? Based on what information?

The first 3/4 of the first period wasn't good - but Lyon was, so, there's that. The rest of the game wasn't bad until the very end. Rangers have a game under their belt and were probably a lot more mentally prepared for a NHL game than the Sabres were. The only fail was Quinn, IMHO, he did not look composed end the second and the entire third. If Lyon plays like that he gives us a chance. Not sure if UPL would've fared better.

That must mean the Sabres are for sale.

Honestly, who here thinks we would have gotten any better goal-tending that period considering the shelling they took for 75% of it?
