Ghost of Dwight Drane

I don't mind people for liking cats, but I question anybody's judgement that favors cats over dogs. Something tells me Darcy owns a cat.

She's not just the president...she's also a client.....

December Credit Card Statements

I'm not even talking about Weber. Worrying about Weber now is like debating what type of shoes the fat girl is going to wear to the prom. Does it matter?

i.e. bye-bye Darcy/Lindy

Now all we need is Nix/Gailey to arrive.

And can we please stop blaming a loss by an 11-17 team on the refs? The refs were horrible, both ways. There were about 5 consecutive instances of icing/no icing that were perplexing. They didn't call Hecht for waterskiing 30 yards tethered to the crotch of a Bruin. And I sure as heck don't want them deciding the game in OT. The high stick had to be called as there was a 2 inch gash next to his eye. Here's the deal....they weren't going to call another penalty on Buffalo. Chop the daylights out of Rechhi's back and knees, and maybe he isn't on top of Miller. Make your own luck.

If he was European, or Connolly or Roy, I might think it was on purpose. Lunchpail guys like Weber get to the NHL by being safe and smart. I'm sure it was a fluke.

And if the guy sees the chorizo at the begining of The Crying Game, it isn't a 2 hour movie.

That reminds me, I have his name in the Secret Santa and for some reason he wants a Gerbe jersey.

A 7 year old playing peewee deserved to get reamed after a play like that. That's how bad it was.

Uncle Vito called tonight for only the 4th time this year. Sounds like the Sabres ate a bad batch of baked beans at the hotel buffet for lunch. If Luke Adam looks EXTRA slow tonight, it's because he's squeezing his cheeks together. Vito's words not mine.

Hasek+ Hasek+ Hasek+ Hasek+ No Hasek- No Hasek- No Hasek- Lockout rules change+ Lockout rules change+ Old NHL- Old NHL- Miller geeked for olympics+ Old NHL- I think that sums up the reign of terror

I swear by Excedrine. I pop those things like Larry Sanders.

Hear Hear!.....Go Devils!

Jack... They are 30% into the season and have 19 points. They need 74 points in 59 games for a realistic shot at #8 When Tim Connolly was taking remedial math back in high school.....and his average was 50 on January 3rd.....The math teacher knew it was going to be a longshot for him to pass the class, let alone get an A in it. I am proud of the majority of the board to finally reach a point in their fandom where they understand sometimes being a real fan means stepping up out of the la-la land of blind support, and demanding some sort of effort from top down before they keep feeding the junkie's habbit. Larry Quinn and the Sabres are on the run right now. They are cutting prices on tickets and running gimmick promotions almost every game now. Like I said in the preseason.....the 16,000 season ticket holders is smoke and mirrors.....the city is tired of giving up their hard earned $$$ to watch Darcy spend his days helping his son with his backswing instead of helping this team grow a pair. We are so used to watching crap that everyone gets excited when the team puts up an honest effort for a few consecutive games. It's not good enough. It should have never been good enough. And now the cupboard is so bare that even with an honest effort this team falls short regularly. I've been sick for 4 years Jack.....and for once, I smell blood in the water and the sharks are circling HSBC. Larry's on the run....and in the best interests of SabreNation....this needs to bottom out NOW. If the Sabres lose tonight, they are a confirmed bad team in my opinion, effort and talent aside. They will have cememnted their downtrend on Carp's charts and will be lucky to finish the season near 80 points. Papa doesn't hand out cookies to spoiled brats and reward them for stopping a temper tantrum. You only re-enforce their lackluster behavior.

No, Kalinin was a better all around player. He had Sekera's vision, but had size to win battles. He was the best 4 on 4 defender this team has had the past decade. Like Sekera though, he made too many turnovers..but his were unforced which drove everyone batty. Sad thing is, Sekera is probably the 3rd best Dman on the team right now behind Montador and Leopold. Myers has looked awkward most of the year. Maybe something can be said about pairing those two....but bottom line is this team is 8-15. So being the median Dman on an 8-15 team isn't a rave review. Morrison will probably prove more valuable come the playoffs.

He was playing well the past few weeks, but he is the WEAKEST d-man I have seen on this team...forever. I don't know why Ruff is so in love with him considering he can be moved off the puck by a lake Erie gust. He also plays scared when the games count. Yes, he has talent and can be smooth, but I had more respect for Kalinin by far.

I hate that all these Salvation Army buckets are quickly eating up my strip club tipping kitty

I know not what you speak of. All I know is I want 2 cannoli for dessert. If they are out of cannoli, I have to eat 3.7 brussel sprouts.

Just got a call from Uncle Vito. He said it's over by 7:40 and the frog finishes the game for Miller. I always listen to Vito.

Alright....that was fun.

Long live 2006! This board has dried out faster than Betty White's who-ha on July day in Vegas
