It's been a long, long time since I've heard national broadcasters call out the refs, and it was deserved. McDermott is puzzling. He showed no confidence in the league's best defense when he declined that holding penalty in the first half. That proved to be the margin of victory, BTW. I don't think I've seen Allen look so rattled in his brief career. The team needs line help, and it also needs to let him run; that's his game. The defense was predictably awesome when McDermott let it be.

I remember it. Fun stuff.

Personally, I love it. It will prompt people to ask questions. I think that lawsuit exists.

THEY WON A GAME!

Did I miss a goalie injury?

I remember this clip!

At the time of the trade? I did. I certainly see-sawed about the trade, but I did not foresee Hodgson stopping early.

In only 17 years, you'll be as old as @PASabreFan, who started this thread. Of course, he'll be 97 by then. But hey, now you have a goal. Goals are good.

It is. He certainly outlasted Hodgson and then some.

Honestly, I have wondered this since he was drafted. I don't want to be mean, but he does come off as a little, yes, dumb. I'm sure this is going to generate some controversy, and that's not my aim here.

Unless I'm mistaken, the Sabres are still due compensation from Ottawa for Rob Ray. In other words, you're right.

If Dunleavy had described Pearl Harbor, we would have continued sleeping through the war.

Yeah. I heard about the trade in the shower this morning and was pretty excited--Krebs, Tuch, and a first sounded like a very good return given where I think Vegas will end up this year. And then, an hour later, I learned that the first is protected, and, well, it took a lot of shine off. I still think it's ok though.

This is definitely a common opinion on the non-Sabres hockey Internet. Vegas is in the bottom of its division and probably isn't going to be playing hockey too far into April unless it gets some players back from injury. (This is why I'm pissed about the top ten protection on the pick.)

Which way will the bicycle go?

We are going to be very happy with this guy.

Neglected? No. They outright refused, as they should have.

Adams press conference on WGR right now.

This pisses me off a bit.

I like what I’m hearing so far

Your last two sentences are unproven and probably incorrect. Do you see the problem with your "batshit crazy" conclusion now?

Yep. High risk and high reward.

The latest proposal I saw had Mack coming back from Chicago via a three-way deal with New Orleans. Don't get me wrong, I love Khalil Mack, but the Bills really need to protect against an injury to Allen.

Right? I'm not even going to try to watch tonight. In fact, I'm deliberately going to avoid it. I can't have another night like last Thursday, when I was awake until 1.

Good point. I think we can eliminate that factor.
