Rob Ray: "You gotta hit on guys."

Hey there must be a party behind the goal line. Why else would everyone be there?

I'll keep saying it, why can't they invite Canadian Forces vets for the anthem once a while? You can have both.

Unfortunately I don't think DB gets fired this year. Partly because of Rex Ryan. And partly because expectations for the Sabres were much lower than the Bills. We are tracking for around 81 points, same as last year. So one could argue the Sabres are no worse, and can claim Jack's preseason injury set them back. I'm afraid we all need to come to grips with a sell off at the deadline and hopes for some lottery luck. As for season ticket sales, I do think the Sabres are worried. I got a survey recently trying to measure my temperature on the team and asking "what factors will determine my renewal." StubHub prices are still at mid-tank levels. (Actually they are that bad throughout most of the NHL right now, but that's another story.)

If they hit 85, they won't fire DD.

The drive to 85.

We jinxed Atlanta by sending some of our Buffalo mojo their way.

As much as I love seeing the Sabres pound the Sens, I still don't feel like we are making the playoffs. We are pacing for about 85-87 points, a step up from last year's 81. They could argue losing Eichel early killed their chances and overall the arrow is still pointing up. Maybe they get lucky in the lottery for once. Bylsma's back, maybe even discusses an extension. Meanwhile the fans will keep losing interest and I predict a big hit in season ticket numbers, especially if they try to raise prices again.

Weak goal let in by Condon.

Eh. Too lazy to type.

Saturday night in Buffalo, football season over, and tickets to see a Canadian team are going for $20.

Carolina may want back soon.

NHL.TV just cut the feed

Well that helps a little.

All that's left is busting the shutout.

Risto's balsa wood stick strikes again.

I've been a harsh critic of Lehner but he's playing a great game despite giving up two.

I can't read these tweet links because I'm one of those who Coller blocked. :blush: (I've been a SabreSpace poster for some time and I hope my reputation is that of a fairly calm fellow.) Coller's threshold for what is an angry tweet is ridiculously low. All I did was call him on his absurd pronouncement that Matt Cassell was definitely the Bills starting QB back in 2015 because Cassell only played two series against the Steelers in preseason, just like Ben Rothlesberger did. (Big Ben 2 series, Cassell 2 series, ergo...) Frankly, I think the reason for so much anger among Buffalo fans is the result of the negative mindset of the local writers and talk hosts. They stoke it so why should they be surprised when they get the blowback?

Steel cut oats made with almond milk, craisins and sunflower seeds.

Which is why a detection system would be a great thing. Why not install the sensors and use them as an adjunct to the official's call? When you have something visually inconclusive, the sensor would tell you what's what. Actually automating the offsides call is way harder than automating a goal call.

In order to have a satisfying rivalry, one must be able to compete with said rival.

Why is Okposo there and not Eichel?

Open 24hrs.

So who's going?
