  1. Man, StL sure can be smothering at times… Sabres showing them no respect so far.
  2. Lol I’m not gonna challenge. Too many nights and too many glasses of whiskey have passed since then. We were early adopters!
  3. I thought it was me, you, or Duda that coined the phrase.
  4. Dis she get sold recently? My feeble memory is telling me she’s not part of the Naval Park inventory, but maybe I am misremembering something. I remember camping out in the USS Sullivans in Boy Scouts. She’s a pretty cool ship for a 12yr old. I’m guessing she’s overdue for the scrapyard these days.
  5. Tage Thompson outscores ROR 3pts to 0. In a late roster move, Vlad Sobotka is inserted into the lineup and scores the hattie that Thompson had the assists on.
  6. Except Detroit is actually ahead of is in the standings so it makes sense that they’ve owned us.
  7. I mean, if we lost to Arizona we’d all be talking about how the Sabres just didn’t show up. That doesn’t make us not right. #luvmesomedoublenegative
  8. No. Portillo is not a luxury. We don’t have any goalies until we actually have a goalie. Portillo is key until he isn’t key anymore, which could be never.
  9. And from the same crew that roasted the team over wasted opportunity when getting a 4th rd pick for Scandella, who was subsequently traded for a 2nd. And moving a late 1st for Lehner. This is a serious potential loss of two high quality prospects. We should be concerned. That level of prospect is a precious commodity that cannot be replaced.
  10. I mean, we haven’t given any credit to Toronto in, I dunno, forever? Why the thin skin when they don’t give any credit to the Sabres?
  11. Interesting. I was just thinking this AM that we went from a good 1st line, two mediocre 3rd lines, and an AHL line to a very good 2nd line and three good 3rd lines. The middle six hasn’t been this effective since Drury/Briere left.
  12. My observation is that Toronto is falling into the Jack Eichel trap. Every time Matthews was on the ice, all of his teammates were deferring to him. We all know how that ends. I was not convinced at any point before the empty netter that we had things in hand. Toronto was dangerous all game. But Toronto was not playing a team game. They were playing an Austin Matthews game.
  13. It’s like everything else in life. You get out of it what you put into it.
  14. The longer the current good play remains relatively consistent, the more confident I feel that a goalkeeper may be enough to get us in playoff contention.
  15. He’s definitely imposing his will early in the game. Not flashy. More like a simple “not today”.
  16. I didn’t see toughness im his play. But he’s got a calmness to it. And he uses his stick well to direct the opposing forward to where he wants him to go. I suspect some toughness will creep in as he gets stronger.
  17. His game looks remarkably like Mule’s game tonight. If he develops Mules strength….. wow.
