Once the Bills are done will tell the tale.

Seeing-eye keyhole goal

No. I think attendance numbers speak for themselves: 13,634. FYI the Thrashers averaged 13,469 in 2011, their final year in Atlanta. But seriously, I do think a half empty arena sends a message to the players who are better than we've had in a while.

You said it. Not me

I think the league has the book on the Sabres. Donnie needs some adjustments

Because most nights the arena is half full. Something, something, 11 years, something.

Power still plays like a dumb rookie in his own end sometimes.

It's the playoffs.

It's a little better than that. Some decent restaurants downtown. But yes, no young athlete is going to live there. Besides, considering weather, you need to be close to whatever rink you are skating in.

Still there. I think they added a sportsbook and some other stuff.

TIL...

Batavia is a town almost exactly halfway between Buffalo and Rochester. But as @Taro T says, no young player would want to live there. It's a dull, small town.

Goalie #1!

Batavia?

Skinner got three games, didn't he?

We gave up a 1st for him. 😞

75 minutes arena to arena. But these are paper transactions. No one is driving.

Is this like putting a couch out in the curb, then being mad someone took it?

Better worry if Seattle studies this game film tomorrow.

Just got to the hotel because I got a flat after the game. (Another long sad miserable story that goes with that. I won't get into it.) I give the Flyers credit for attacking the Sabres. It looked like they must have seen something in our game film and the found a way to block our break outs while pressuring us in our own end. Aside from the Sabres looking tentative, we were so out of sync, players were "surprised" when they got the puck a few times. (I saw Bryson's body language in the 3rd when Tuch was forced to abort a neutral zone entry and dropped a pass back to 78. A split second of WTF. Maybe he was heading for the bench when that happened.)

Puck goes right through Dahlin's legs resulting in a shot for Philly. It's that kind of night.

Cozens turnover and Clague failed to clear. Wow.

The entire team looks off and the puck doesn't like them tonight.

It is.

Crazy bounces not going Sabres way.
