That's ok. The Sabres had a ten game winning streak in November once. ***** the Bruins.

Sabremike isn't wrong. Having access to playoff tickets really is a HUGE draw for STHs. And this team has been very clear--as were the Bills for a few years--that this is not their moment. The arena sucks, but building a new one isn't the answer. Making it less generic would really help. Turn down the same crappy music that every arena plays, make it a Buffalo experience, don't worry so much about making a 3x profit on the food and focus on serving good stuff, and we're there. These are easy fixes.

I have a good feeling about this one. So I'm starting my first GDT of the season.

How can these two programs afford to play each other?

I liked their play in between the blue lines,* but again, I didn't get to see the whole game. *Barry Melrose taught me in 1994 that this is called the "neutral zone."

I caught a good part of the first and most of the second. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised at the energy level. They weren't dead at all. Granato's rotation theory or whatever remains suspect--he should ice the best team he can every night IMO--but they didn't look terrible. You can just say it. It'll be ok. You miss him.

They haven't had a fair shot?! Did I actually hear that?

Stop it. We both know that they'll drop prices for us in return if we use the self-checkout. /s (Seriously, I can just imagine the 1% labor fee for manual checkout that will hit retail bills in 5 years.)

Maybe he's tired and needs a maintenance day. Maybe Granato is inept. Maybe it's something else.

They're going to be tired. Montreal has been home recently, and has traveled only within the time zone this season. I don't see this one going well.

Ok, how bad was it? And was the badness due to missing defenseman or overall suckage?

I didn't know that...but it's still difficult to imagine pro sports teams waiting months to obtain an MRI.

Jays, Argos, and the soccer team too. Maybe they all chip in and lease a machine?

No chance that I stay up for this. Thankfully, they're coming back Thursday.

What I have learned tonight: Some drug called Jardience makes people who are commercial stereotypes of old and/or brown happy, and also makes a dog jump through a hoop. That dog ran through it like three times!

Your manhood has been torn apart by some sort of bird creature, and THIS is what you find annoying?

who is this person

26. He already told you.

Meh

You answered your own question. I enjoy watching him lose almost as much as I enjoyed watching Marino lose. ****, it's delicious. It is the exception to the rule that @ubkev articulated; I can watch non-Bills games if that record stinker Rodgers is losing them.

Tell me you have no Italian grandparents without telling me you have no Italian grandparents....

I generally don't. It's not entertaining.

Has Hamilton in fact said that three times on air in 24 hours?

Frankly, she was brilliant in that clip. I don't know much about her, but I'd read/watch her again.
