  1. By the way, happy birthday to all my fellow Marines, Semper Fi. Let's Go Buffalo!
  2. It looked like the guy wanted to roof the puck on his backhand but, instead, it rolled off his stick for a weak shot that Hutton wasn't ready for.
  3. Just play the earlier glove hand save several times over, and that should erase any memory of that play. ?
  4. Dang, it looked like he fanned on it. C'mon Let's Go Buffalo!
  5. Okposo seems to have more pep in his step and is more determined than last season.
  6. Wow, I'm a complete azz at times and I make really stupid comments that I wish I could take back but I can't but, this attack on Jack Eichel is on a level of self righteousness that I don't understand. The idea that we're going to start policing and make public words spoken or written by someone when they were 14 yrs old and hold them accountable 8 to 10 years later is ridiculous. I don't know sh*t about hockey but enjoy talking about the sport I love within a community of hockey fans. Can I come off judgemental and asinine absolutely. Have I said things that hurt people, yes. I have said and done things that I'm not proud of, absolutely, and when I look back at those times I realize I have not always treated others the way I wanted to be treated in word or deed and it grieves me to think that I hurt someone; however, I've come to realize that as human beings we have the ability to do and say some sh*tty things and its my job to recognize when I've crossed a line, be honest with myself, others, and learn from those mistakes. The thing that concerns me is this almost militant policing of someone's every word and action as a result of the technology available to everyone today. It's a scary thought that a persons career could be totally destroyed because someone is on a mission to rid the world of people that say things they don't like. Over the last six months I have witnessed those that have taken it upon themselves to define those that are racist, homophobic, misogynistic, etc, etc, etc, and demand their lives be destroyed only to find out that the whole time they were straining at a gnat they were swallowing a camel. I'm sorry if I've ever hurt someone or offended anyone in this community and that is from my heart; however, God help us when we cannot forgive people or feel the need to destroy other peoples lives based on their interpretation of something someone has said or done before going to that person and giving them a chance to explain. One thing I've learned is that when you type something and you send it the interpretation of your mood, intentions, etc are up to those who read your words. People can interpret what you said in ways that you never thought possible, and sometimes there is no convincing them otherwise. The person who wrote that article said, " Despite the team’s reticence to respond to our requests for comment, no doubt Eichel will now release a statement about how this doesn’t reflect who he is today. The Sabres will in turn say they don’t condone the use of slurs, a couple non-profit organizations will thank them for their statements, and everyone will act like it never happened. " He/she has already determined the outcome. Wow. He who is without sin cast the first stone. Let's Go Buffalo!
  7. I love the Sabres logo. The Genesee logo reminded me of Genny Screamers. Let's Go Buffalo!
  8. Maybe moving Risto to the second pairing would help, and if that doesn't work maybe to the press box for a few games. On the other hand, the guy is facing 1st line talent every night and eats up a lot of minutes. That's a tough position to be in; maybe they can coach him to a better place along the way.
  9. Weakest Link Maybe they can deal Scandella at the trade deadline.
  10. Wow, the Sabres played well; If it not for Lundqvist, the Sabres would've won that game. By the way, do the Sabres have a defensemen that they can call up to replace Marco *weakest link* Scandella? IMO, at the end of the game, he was a liability. I thought he might have broken out of the slump he has been in.
