Yes I did. You are aware his first name is Donald?

Steely Dan were great. They opened by doing the entire Aja album, my favorite. Donald can't quite hit those high notes anymore but as a band they were as tight as ever.

It's the in-arena scoreboard feed plus radio play by play. You can choose which team's announcers to listen to. There are no frills or features. Lightning in most arenas is substandard for TV. You also get graphics meant for fans in the arena popping up during play. It's annoying but it is what it is.

What are they basing this on? Their preseason prognostication that the Sabres would win only five games? I'd say based on 15 games and the fact the roster should improve significantly once players come off injury I expect the Sabres to be within 6-8 points of a playoff spot in March. We are currently on an 89.6-point pace right now.

You can spin anything. Do you think Pens fans are thrilled with their team's effort in a loss? I seem to recall all those posters who didn't care how well the Sabres played under Granato last year because the were still losing. In the end only the W's matter. I'll take a season full of "bad wins" with a playoff berth.

Guitarist Walter Becker was the one who passed on. Donald Fagen, the voice and front man, still plugging away. It was a last-minute perk addition when the Sabresbucks were delayed. Are full ST's only eligible for Sabresbucks?

There are only 32 (now) jobs

I'll be watching the first of a 3-night stand by Steely Dan in Boston.

I still can't believe he's only 21. How many years has he played? Was he 15 when he started? If Dahlin was drafted by the current Sabres regime he'd be in Rochester, if not Sweden, to start. Botterill and Housley were determined to show off their shiny new #1 draft pick that "plays with grown men in the Swedish League." Another shortcut that fizzled.

He's got more experience than most young coaches.

How do you adjust to when the Pens decide to start trying hard? We bottled them up for two periods. Sorry it wasn't perfect.

Yes. Shameful. <_< 🙄

Soft tissue injury for Rasmus.

Hard to watch but smart move. Don't give Pittsburgh any more power plays. At least wait till the last minute when you're up 3.

"That's f###ing bulls##t"

One huge diff from last year. No one is sneaking in uncovered on the off wing anymore.

I think 29 tipped it.

He took one on the nads

Sabres are winning the play so far.

That's rather personal.

The legendary DeLuca insisted losses are losses, even if you earn a point, even as ties used to be a thing in the NHL. Well "old school" would mean recognizing that NHL games used to end in ties and weren't considered losses. He's actually quite NEW school.

That makes the Pens 4 games under.
