I learned the other day that my wife had never seen Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I could not let this stand so last night we watched it. She was very impressed that a movie from 1977(year she was born)could have her on the edge of her seat. I think it was even better than I had remembered.
Do you watch Project Blue Book? The last episode I watched had Dr Hynek and his wife at the set of Close Encounters.

I just watched the NHL Top40 All-Time Goalie Countdown on NHL Network. Hasek was #2 behind Brodeur.
Barasso was #34 and all the highlights they showed were in a Penguins uni.
No Ryan Miller?

Since we have no hockey to talk about, I thought I'd start an all star classic rock band thread. Most of this is from the 60's and 70's so I apologize to our younger members. Here is my all star list.
Keyboards, Vocals - Steve Walsh - Kansas
Lead Guitar, Vocals - Terry Kath - Chicago
Rhythm Guitar - Jimmy Page - Led Zeppelin
Bass Guitar, Vocals - Paul McCartney - The Beatles
Drums - Keith Moon - The WhoProducer - Tom Scholz - Boston
Picking this list was harder than trying to fix the Sabres. Hack away!
Jimmy Page as Rhythm Guitarist? Surely you jest. In my book he’s alone as the top Lead Guitarist..

I’ve been watching Avenue5 on HBO. I think it’s hilarious. They even had a funny Buffalo reference in a recent episode. A woman was called to the White House. They show her getting into a cab. The female cabbie says “Have you been to Buffalo before? It’s changed a lot since they moved the White House here.”

Let’s see, Bills prior ownership went back and brought the ancient Marv Levy back as GM and that didn’t work. This Sabres ownership went back in history and brought LaFontaine in as President and that didn’t work. They brought back Ted Nolan and that didn’t work.
Pegs hires McDermott and Beane from a successful Carolina franchise and that worked out well. They then tried this with the Sabres hiring from the successful Pittsburgh Penguins and that didn’t work.
I think this franchise is just jinxed. No Goal! The great Scotty Bowman took every other franchise he was coach/GM of to the Stanley Cup Finals, including the then expansion St Louis Blues, but couldn’t accomplish that with this franchise.

I feel like this is the end. I'll always watch, but I think this is the end of the playoff dream.

A white Raiders outfit like his dad occasionally wore.
I think because of his position as owner, he just DGAF.

Is the Vegas goal-scorer related to Derek Roy or Patrick Roy? A hint , I guess, would be is it pronounced Roy or Wah. I’m unable to watch the game.

That is a horrible picture. On top of the reddish-blond hair and his red face, he wears a peach colored sweatshirt?

Interesting that Reinhart continues to take the faceoffs instead of Jack for their line. Has there been any explanation for this?

Hard to remember anyone but Jack pulling moves like that...
You probably are too young to remember Gil Perrault. He scored goals like that frequently. Many times he started behind his own net and weaved through the whole opposing team. Guy LaFleur was similar.

How about number 11 with the nameplate of GOATS (Greatest of All-Time Sabre)?

ES goal percentage is just plus minus in percentage form pretty much.
I'll let others provide the meaty responses
Yeah, he’s currently third on the team in plus/minus at +12, behind only Montour (15) and Eichel (14)

In fairness. The hockey draft is unlike football. It's far from sure thing while in football this should nab you a starter. Drafting eighteen year olds whole different thing.
Yeah, NHL drafting is similar to baseball, mostly projections.

Another of my 60’s childhood memories gone, along with Glen Park in Williamsville, and Crystal Beach.
Visited Crystal Beach several times as a kid. My neighborhood would rent a bus for Crystal Beach Day and we’d get free tickets based on our report card grades.

Started watching with about 7 minutes left. Happy to hear the team (and Sam) played a better game. Perhaps RK read them some posts from this board. They need to string a few of these together before I change my opinion however. It just goes to show if you put in an honest effort, good things happen.
Lets enjoy the win.
Cheers
Maybe Krueger played the Duane rant on a loop in the locker room.

That's true I guess and God knows this team does not play entertaining hockey...but a team definitely feeds off energy in the building and the crowd does have the power to impact the game on the ice.
Whenever they show closeups of people in that building they all look like they are 20 years behind in fashion or style and live in Elma, Sloan, or Marilla.
Half of them are staring at telephones and no one seems like they care much about hockey.
I realize it's therefore tough to get a positive vibe going in the crowd.
For some, it’s more fun to watch the millionth cat video they’ve seen. -

Couple that with the fact that people are mostly (stupid) these day and viola.
And stupid means, social media is always right, it's on insta, an influencer said so, it HAS to be correct.
A bunch of kids and young adults fought for independence 250 years ago, and now we fight to pretend our sexual organs are different.
We are as overpopulated as ever, the earth probably won't be able to handle what we're throwing at it for long. Humans are by nature, destructive. But nature finds a way to fight back.
But...but...I read it on Wikipedia -

Just curious. Where do you stand on watching the Sabres? I’ve seen comments under the Game day thread alluding to being late for a game and catching only the last period. Why not record and watch the game in it’s entirety? As a left coaster for about half my life I rely on recording eastern time zone games and watching after work. I know not everyone has traditional cable, and streaming has limitations but if you do have a DVR option, do you use it?
Yes, I DVR everything. Once in a while it backfires as I look at something on my iPad or iPhone and catch a score by accident of a game I recorded but that’s my fault. I can’t stand commercials. I can also fast forward thru down times in a game, like replay review and showing replays from a dozen different angles.

How about Krueger for Jack Adams, Carter (EF) Hutton for Vezina, Dahlin for Norris and Olofsson for Calder? Side comment: with all the hockey people in history to honor, they had to use Calder for both the NHL Rookie of the Year and AHL Championship?
NHL Top 50 Bizarre Moments
in The Aud Club

Just watched the NHL Top 50 Bizarre Moments in history. Sabres-related moments were:
#50- Sabres VS Phoenix- shot puck ends up tangled in back of Mike Smith’s jersey. When he backs into net, Sabres given goal and win game.
29- fan goes on ice by Sabres bench and Rob Ray pummels him
6- bat flying over rink hit and killed by Jim Lorentz with his stick (can’t get more bizarre than that)
#1 in case you were wondering was 1979 game between Boston & Rangers in MSG. Phil Esposito has breakaway at end of game but was stopped. He smashes stick on ice and skates off into the tunnel. Afterwards, Boston’s Peter McNabb goes into stands to fight with fans and other Bruins follow him.
