[RIP Dickie Dunn]

I didn't realize he was from Ogdensburg.

Can someone try doing this in the style of Oswald Bates?

I have seen much more egregious goalie interference not called 

Agreed, but how often do coaches challenge it? Is it common, or do they not always think of doing it? Be interesting to see stats on this

Power is absolutely no offensive threat from the blue line. Pathetic.

He's still a young defenseman, but I do think he needs to work on his slapshot.

Sorry, I meant what Sabre was hit. Thanks

[GDT: Sabres @ Rangers - 7:30pm, Dec. 23, 2023, MSG/ESPN+📺 WBEN930 📻]

Anyone see if the hit from before the fight was clean, and who it was on? Sorry, trying to watch both games at once.

[GDT - Sabres @ Capitals - 11/22/2023 @ 6PM CT / 7PM ET - MSGB/ESPN+]

Highlight reel goal. That was an amazing goal.

Can we please ban the air horn? Reminds of the South African World cup vuvuzela.  Also can we ban Ray from talking through the faceoff?

[Nikita Zadorov interview]

Very brave statement for Zadorov to have made. When he left Buffalo, I thought he was an immature young player with a lot of talent. This has definitely changed my perception of him as a person. Not sure how he has developed as a hockey player, but as a Russian voice, this says a lot about him. 

[OT - bands from Buffalo]

King Buffalo is a good Rochester band with a Buffalo name. On a side note, I've noticed a lot of kids at the school I work at wearing Cannibal Corpse shirts. Doubting many of them have actually heard them though.

[Sabres traded that made you sad to see them go]

Mike Ramsey. Great defenseman who never stood out but was very effective. Honorable mention: Joe Reekie. Can't remember much about his game, but loved his name

Just an FYI. This game is on NHL Network, so it won't be on ESPN+, TNT or Hulu. Screws me up. I think it's still on MSG though.

Thanks,  I was just looking all over Hulu for the game

[GDT - Sabres @ Capitals - January 3, 2023 - 7:00 PM (EST) - MSG and WGR]

Can we please ban Washington, Pittsburgh, Carolina and any other teams from blowing the air horn? What an obnoxious noise that is considered ok during play

[Attendance issues at whatever our arena is named now]

Not sure how it is in Buffalo, but the last game I went to was a few years ago in Phoenix and I was so annoyed by the loud music in between plays that I don't think I'll go to another game there again. Is this a standard practice in the NHL, or is it something that mostly occurs in the non-traditional markets? I always enjoyed talking about what I saw after the whistle and feel like this is difficult when I'm covering my ears. Are there people who would not go to games if the non-hockey entertainment didn't exist?

[Is Gambling Good For Professional Sports Or Bad?]

I'm personally against gambling in sports. I would probably give less of a ***** if they didn't make it a part of every Sabre's intermission report

I didn't realize checking from behind or boarding is only a 5 minute penalty now

Did one of the announcers try to say that they shouldn't call it because a 5 minute would be too much?

[GDT Nashville Predators @ Buffalo Sabres - Rick Jeanneret Banner Ceremony 6:30]

Dunleavy sounds pretty good tonight. 

[Do You Think Sabres Will Make Playoffs Next Year?]

I think they can if they stay healthy.  The injuries this year have been ridiculous so a stable lineup would help tremendously. It might be close, but I feel they could be one of the bottom teams making it in.

[Eichel’s Injury A Huge Concern per Peter DeBoer]

Can someone explain to me what a JAG is?

[Friedman Interviews Jack Eichel]

I don’t like to bash guys, especially when I recognize that I don’t know these people, but I have to agree with you here.  Peters said some pretty damning things about Eichel as a teammate off the ice, and neither Rivet nor Gionta spoke in opposition.  In fact they nodded along and Rivet even questioned whether Eichel had “ever REALLY been a Captain”.

I've always questioned the wisdom of giving a person the captaincy simply because of their talent. A player can have outstanding talent bring wins to a team and can be an incredible asset without being a leader.  Not a knock to the player, but there are simply better people who fit into the role as team leader. An incredible talent can develop into a captain, but I don't like it when they are thrust into that position at a young age.

[Reinhart making quite the impression already...demoted to third line in Florida]

Sounds like Florida has some depth

[Is it too soon to think we might actually be good?]

Too soon to tell with the competition we've faced. I do believe, however, that we were/are better than some of the NHL teams that had better records than us last year. We just never got to play them, and they didn't have the same level of competition as us
