"Eyn gonna tell ya ... " I cringe every time I hear him say that.

Way back when I was DCSabres (lived outside DC) and the 05-06 Sabres' season started: Posted October 9, 2005 He couldn't get it out because the Senator next to him chopped his stick in half. Should've been a penalty. Not saying Lydman has shown me anything thus far, but not getting that puck out on the 2nd try was a result of his sticking being snapped in two by a slash. You could see Campbell coming over to the ref on the play and yelling about it, and then Briere talking to McCreary at the following face-off about it. I saw a lot more hooking NOT getting called tonight than I saw in the first two games. I fear that the new rules are going to go away and clutching and grabbing will return. I hope I'm wrong.

Haha! We can now refer to a player as having End-Stage Moulson's disease.

The Sabres are too slow all over the ice. Watch other teams fly, then watch our guys skate in the mud. Dahlin is a beautiful skater, but very slow. Overall team speed is lacking in my opinion.

Who's the goon player? At work, can't watch.

Almost perfect. Nice work Scotty!

Just LTIR him already. Like, for the rest of his contract. Another $hitty gift left for us by Tim Murray.

Interns ...

Looked bad. I hate seeing that for him - he's been fantastic at both ends of the ice. I do think that Asplund looked pretty good with Jack and Sam in 68's absence, though.

Inky Inky Inky - DVR it and watch in the evening. Skip the commercials and icing delays too!

Set up a VPN between your house and your parents' house. Make your parents' house your gateway. Boom, you're "In Buffalo." Will cost you some equipment on each end, and perhaps will need higher speeds on each ISP account, but it would work. Would probably be cheaper and less hassle to get IPTV, Area 51 perhaps, to have EVERYTHING. The only thing I don't like is there is not yet a DVR for IPTV that you can set ahead of time. (That I know of).

You forgot to mention that other thing we do in our parents' basements ...

I always knew Skinner was a good goal scored, but only watched him when he played against the Sabres. Having watched him for 9 games now, I am very impressed with his grit, determination, puck handling, and especially his skating. He has wowed me may times already in this young season. You don't let players like this leave your organization. Okposo is too slow for the NHL anymore. He's a boat anchor hanging around JBOT's neck.

All the facial damage was done because he was completely unconscious when he went down. His face hit the ice. This HAS to be suspension-worthy. This is NOT the first time Hartnell has done this to a Sabre. He did it when he was on the Blue Jackets in a game against Buffalo. I can't remember when or who the Sabre was, but I do remember a similar hit.

I'll admit I was expecting them to get run out of the barn in Nashville. It started to look that way at 2-1 and 3-1, but give 'em credit, they stuck with it. Great win, boys. Where has this been all year?

And what he's writing with that pen unlocks $2,700,000.00 or thereabouts. I'd be smiling like a baby, too!

Larsson sucks, so ... yeah to this ^

Commitment to defense, bigger goalies and bigger goalie equipment. The butterfly and shot blocking by all players makes it nearly impossible to score these days. Gretzky would come nowhere close to what he did in today's NHL, but he'd still be a top player in the league.

I'm not sure Jack gives a flip about what Adam Mair thinks of his skating technique.

Do you not think he does all that stuff? There's no amount of strength and conditioning that would have saved his leg on a play where he was braced for a hit, then a stick went under his right skate and the defender barreled into him right next to the boards. Certainly not a dirty play, just an unfortunate accident.

The best college football announcer of our generation. He was already missed after he retired. Rest in peace, Sir. Whoa Nelly to you!

If he's an addition of speed, it's fine by me. I can't believe how slllllooooowwwww this team is. Not to mention that they can't connect a single pass cleanly.

I'm pretty sure he wants to be traded. Why would he want to stay here when he could go to a contender and get into the playoffs?

This team is too freaking slow and can't pass or clear their own zone. Add Bailey, Baptiste, and Rodrigues to the mix. Sit Okposo and any of these other slow overpaid guys. At least put the slow guys with fast guys. Spread out the slowness. Remember when the Sabres were a fast and attacking team 10 years ago? Watch any other team and you'll see clean breakouts, good passing, and speed all over the ice. Apparently that's not thought to be a winning combination in Buffalo. I'm disgusted by this.

What an azzhole. You want taxpayers to pay for a geese problem on your property? Get a clue, DIKK.
