Deck chairs, Titanic, etc.

But what is a “$30 lower bowl ticket?” I don’t think there are $30 face value tickets in the lower bowl of any NFL stadium.

I haven't loved the Dahlin-Power pairing. It seems like it's taken playmaking opportunity away from Dahlin.

When it rains it pours.

Lindy and the Devils have now won 11 in a row.

I have 4 sports teams that I care about. They have collectively lost their last 12 games.

I thought DG's post-game presser was spot-on, as was Fairburn's description in the Athletic: They didn't want it bad enough and they got dominated at home by a crappy team. It's happened too many times already this season, and we're only 16 games in. That's a leadership and character issue. Torts would have peeled the paint the locker room during and after that game, usually with results. I wish I felt confident DG would get results here. They haven't earned any optimism. Last night was a disgrace. This team is dying for a guy like Gare -- preferably a few of them.

And anyone reading this gem might have the same reaction to your post. Stop criticizing other posters, or keep quiet.

Back to the PP: I noticed that against Boston, VO was restored to his rightful spot in the right circle on PP1. I think he should stay there.

No longer combined with an old weather thread! Enjoy!

I think they will come out and play hard. I just wish I felt more confident that they will find their scoring mojo.

I think both have been fine. If someone cranks a one-timer on the PP after a good cross-ice pass and Comrie makes the save but gives up a rebound, it's not on him if someone sticks back the rebound for a goal. That's on the D.

IMHO the biggest need is to get better and more consistent production out of Mitts, Cozens, Skinner, Tuch and KO. Those are supposed to be the core forwards who deliver when needed, and in this losing streak they have failed to do so.

I get the concern about Comrie, and the numbers are what they are, but I haven't been too concerned about the goals he's given up, with the notable exception of the GWG vs Tampa, which IIRC was a pretty soft one with about 6 min left. It's not really fair to expect him to beat a real cup contender like the teams the Sabres have been playing if they only give him 1 or 2 goals in support.

Gut-wrenching, freakish loss that raises questions about JA's crunch-time ability to focus and execute, and the same for the coaches. Also: Justin Jefferson might be the best player in the NFL right now. Holy mackerel.

It ain’t the PP, and it ain’t the D injuries. It’s that TT is the only guy who is scoring. They need quite a bit more from skinner, Tuch, Mitts, Cozens and KO. Otherwise the losing will continue.

Don't you love it when Buffalo sports enters nuclear winter?

I guess I think Power-Dahlin smacks of desperation, unless they really trust the other pairs to hold up their end for 33 minutes. That doesn’t seem wise.

I think there’s a reasonable possibility that Quinn-Cozens-JJP could work very well together and be highly entertaining.

Does that mean you want the charity wager?

Not what I had in mind!

Hello yourself. I freaking hate soccer.

It seems dark right now in WNY sports, but maybe this is one of those nights where the team does something great and gives everyone a thrill. TT is unstoppable and Dahlin ain’t lying down for anyone. Go Sabres.

Gotta say that KO has been pretty disappointing so far IMHO. N

I’ll take a charity wager on TT hitting 40 goals this year if you’re interested.
