Nightmare fuel

I really can’t do any more Sabres. Just endless conjecture that none of us can fix. So let’s start with what are some foods that everyone enjoys that you find incredulous that anyone can even be in the same room with them? Mine is cooked mushrooms. I can deal with uncooked mushrooms in a salad but cooked mushrooms on pizza? On a burger? In pasta sauce? I don’t understand the attraction. They are like dead slugs in your mouth. Nasty.

I guess if you like good hockey. We can’t watch our prospects with any hope of them being successful NHL players.

It’s even worse than we thought.

JFC give him the C, build him a statue and call the team the Buffalo Zuckers.

What’s the demographic that enjoys the palm tree schtick?

The palm tree thing was never funny. Also, it’s not a good look for one successful part of your empire to be chiding another part of the org that is struggling. Same team. Friendly fire not needed.

Terrible teams beat good teams every night in the NHL. No reason it can’t happen tonight.

The NHL has an outdoor game on New Years Eve and not one post in a hockey forum about it. I’m sure it’s partially due to the Sabres irrelevance but we used to have threads dedicated to these games. Now, I’m not sure how many people here actually knew there was a game. The NHL destroyed a unique fun experience but forcing the fans to drink from a few hose. You love outdoor games? We’ll give you ten a season. What’s that, you don’t care anymore? Well put it at 5 o’clock on a day dominated by other sports and for good measure well throw 12 of our own games on to compete. This league has a gun permanently aimed at their foot.

Only if the gladiators have 44 Ds right? BTW, is 44 a good number for that area? Kinda seems big, like the whole body is big. Like 38 triple F seems more my style. At least that’s what my wife is 🙂.

Whoa I thought the Pet Detective movies were hilarious.

There is a long and continuously growing list of “power forwards” the Sabres completely whiffed on.

Didn’t Michal Grosek claim the same thing?

Did it? He was the 7th overall pick in the 1996 draft and scored 52 goals with 76 assists FOR HIS CAREER. Dude was loathed by most of the fanbase and has to be considered a bust on almost every measurable.

I read that differently the first time

The Sabres are going to play themselves out of a top 5 pick.

Definitely. There aren’t many more though.

I’m just not sure how many I actually like

As it should be. These guys are going through it. I wouldn’t expect a rando goal to cure them of their ails. They are experiencing one of the worst sports existence possible. No possibility of pleasing the fans. No chance at the Cup. No end in sight to the misery. I’d be downright surly after scoring goals too.

Kisakov?

Right. Which is why your $$$ is the only true way to hold the team accountable. Don’t go to games. Don’t buy merch. Don’t pay for streaming services to exclusively watch them. Pull the rip chord. I didn’t watch one second of Saturday’s game despite having 3 tvs in my man cave. It was college football on every screen.
