Yep. The moment I can stream all Sabres games without jumping through hoops my subscription to TWC ends and I don't sign another deal anywhere.

Almost bought tickets for this game but my rare break from coaching youth hockey means I must get some house work done that is severely neglected. I'll still watch the game though!

On the PP. Which I am sure he will still be out for.

The one time... the entire month of November my team has a practice at 8pm is tonight. ARGH! I might cancel it. This is gonna be good!

I can't say I've experienced that before. I'll have to get some to see if I notice anything. Best I have now is sabills theory on the spicing.

I have had it numerous times. The experience?

It's not surprising. The owner is a change body. He loves creating change, all the time. "Positive friction". I'm not sure that's going to work in the NHL. You might be able to get people who buy into it on Wall Street as there are people who want to spend 5-10 years burning themselves out to make a load of money and then retire. The NHL players play for money but also have a passion. Many value stability and any owner who exhibits a propensity to change for change sake is probably not going to draw well. I'm sure all players want to be evaluated only on their metrics. Well, scratch one competitive team from the Sabres division now. I'd be surprised if Florida doesn't tailspin after this.

Ahh, that explains it more. Sort of a "we picked these guys from the trash aka lower rounds". Makes a lot more sense. Thanks! Pilsner.. it's not bad.

What's with the Eurotrash comment? Sigh.

Meh... after awhile every name just grows on you.. Except Pelicans... that never settles in.

Came across this while looking at some information for my kids to look at. Thought you guys might like it too.

Not Bunny Ranchers? Bummer.

Yes. Yes. Yes. You have it. Thank you. So.. I'm stopping at the liquor store to pick up a retirement gift for someone.. and I think I will replenish my bottle of High West Double Rye... And then replenish that bottle... tomorrow. serbaS oG

I like your direction, but you lack conviction. 2015: Tank Wars: The Phantom Tank 2017: Tank Wars: The Clone Tank 2018: Tank Wars: The Tank Awakens 2019: Tank Wars: A NEW Tank 2020: Tank Wars: The Tank Strikes Back 2021: Tank Wars: Return of the Tank 2022: Tank Wars: The Tank Awakens 2023: Tank On: A Tank Wars Story Or is it all Tank Balls: The Search for More Money

Which, technically, should not be a bad thing. After all, one should strive to achieve the next level. You won't know you can't do the job until you try it.

Subtract all points where McDavid is involved. Then subtract away some factor of a team only having to defend more than one scoring line. It's not quite perfect to compare the two scenarios. I understand why you feel the way you do however. Will miss seeing tonight's game traveling back from Niagara University for a youth game there. I can listen to it on the radio however!

Any day with hockey is a good day.... until the Sabres give a game away. But, I can watch other teams. The other night I kept flipping to Blackhawks vs. Blues... that was fun. So, hockey.. and go Sabres.

2 hours and 46 minutes later and already the information was too hard to find.

Teemu Selanne 2.0? Same team no less? lightning striking twice?

You think this place could survive a 7-0 loss to the Kings? What if the provincially go f themselves? Go Sabres.

I saw he announced his retirement in a video while he was brewing beer. He's awesome.

They actually switch it up during the game as near as I can tell. In the first it appeared they were 2-1-2. I think they actually attempt to play that as often as possible. However, when they have trouble getting out of their zone or they switch to more rapid line changes it makes sense to get to a 1-3-1. They are less likely to have the forwards in deep and they are either changing (after being in the D zone for so long) or playing back to counter the attack Minny was doing. Honestly I started drinking part way through the game so I really stopped paying that much attention. The 1-3-1 is basically a trap that clogs the neutral zone. It's ugly as hell, but if you have a lead in a low scoring game it's a good bet you'll see it. I know RJ and Ray commented on how much of the game was being played in the neutral zone at one point.

You are a beast. Thank you for the work.

Yea.. that sweet pass to Moulson from behind the net made him look horrible. Insanity.
