Powerplay ( oxymoron ) doomed them. 0-4 and with a crippling case of lackoshot fancyitis.

Kaleta is like a shark out there. Relentless.

In a game where the rink is full of an assortment of scouts and every player on the teams trade value just went down.

Oh I get it. They are tanking.

Lately I've been having this recurring nightmare and waking up in a cold sweat. In the nightmare I'm at a post game presser and Rolston slowly reaches up and starts tearing his stunt face off and reveals Darcy Regiers smug face underneath. :blink: Lord help me

Against a defensively weak team.

Brewer with a huge save ? :blink: RJ is losin it.

Just got in. Did I hear right 3 shots on net ?

This'll make you puke. Bob MacKenzie is suggesting that Bobby Ryan could be going to Philly and a young centre could go the other way. It would suck to see a player many here covet go to Philly.

Short ;) But seriously. Good post. This about sums it up.

Who's coaching Tampa ? With the new guy if he's there they'll have the usual big boost for the new coach. Everyone starting with a clean slate,yada yada yada. That being said though the Sabres are starting to play with cohesion and as a team. Cutting back on the brainfarts and staying within their roles. Tampa's a mess. So...its a toss-up. I'm done with predictions. As always, GO SABRES !

I had Bintang while in Bali. Very refreshing but damn was the weather hot.

Injuries are no excuse. ;) :blink: :sick: :P

I have to agree with you on this. The thought of Regier at the helm for another season really tears me up inside. If they go on a run and just fall short it'll give TPegs and Sawyer and the rest of the ownership/management crew just enough to retain the architects of this clusterfukc. Gag me with a spoon.

I wouldn't qualify losing to the Hurricanes in the 06 conference finals as a sniff. You're not even playing for the cup at that point. Finals appearances are imo a sniff. Man that 99 run seems like such a long time ago.

That Foligno for a softy like Raymond worries me. Raymond would fit right in. Disappears for long stretches of time and scares away from physical contact.

Well unfortunately close but no cigar. Other teams have come close and I'm pretty sure they don't have a cup emblazoned on their shirts. I'd be hard pressed to associate the Sabres with the Stanley cup because they came within a sniff twice in 40 years.

This about sums up the way I would have liked to explain my position. Thanks. I don't feel like a bad fan for hoping for long term success as opposed to short term success with no payoff.

The very reason I hate to see this team lose is the reason I voted tank. A number one pick would set us up for years to come on the compete index whereas a run to the playoffs and out or a run and just miss does absolutely nothing for this team in the long run. We'll continue to have so so seasons and be just average. Don't like it. Its time to start building the foundation for success. I should add that as a fan of this team nothing would make me happier this season than to shock the world and slide into the playoffs to win it all. That being said I just don't see it so if they were to tank I'm ok with that if the reward for being shite is a #1. Just so tired of being shite year in and year out.

When watching the post game interviews in the Sabres dressing room I noticed the Stanley cup embroidered around the sabres logo on Vaneks shirt. WTF ? Since when is the Stanley cup in any shape or form associated with the Buffalo Sabres ? Aside from being the team trophy in the league that the Sabres play in there's no reasonable explanation.

Ott is a huge topic of discussion in Vancouver on talk radio mostly because he's what they need and the Sabres appear desperate enough to do it. The fact that the Sabres are run by someone that appears to have no plan Probably helps. Apparently the Nucks were in talks with Dallas going back 2 seasons now.

What call was # 5 referring to ? Not the Subban call over the glass. Looked good to me. Unfortunately they have to call those.

I'm enjoying a Molson Exel. Although it lacks the buzz its surprisingly refreshing and quite satisfying.I bought it on a whim this afternoon at the grocers. I think I'll explore more of these non alc. brands for times I'm the DD or when I'm just not into drunking.

That was a 3 game series I could imagine them losing all three. Pleasantly surprised. RR has them playing good hockey. Good enough to win.

Nice goal
