After a quickly arranged change of plans (changed which game we were going to).. I will be at this game with my kid. Perhaps I'll run into a few people.

I've read it less as coasting and more that the Czech game appears to focus on him finding the soft spot in the opponent D to get shots off from. At least in the offensive zone it seems that he's not tabbed with mucking up the boards but being the target for those who are tasked with that. not always possible, sure, but as soon as Czech players were in the zone it appeared he disengaged to find those spots. Perhaps its indicative that his board play is poor, or its a sign his shot is excellent. Not sure which. I think he'll have to be all over it in the Sweden game though.

It's not part of FuboTV.. but I believe nearly every other provider has it. Fubo has no Turner stations (TNT, TBS, CNN, etc.)

TNT game.

definitely more pop sounding.. listened to other songs on Spotify and I think they need to work on their production mixing. Between this video and the spotify tracks I think a bit of sound engineering would help them tremendously. Certainly Spotify is not the definitive place to judge sound, but my belief is that if its sounds bad on there, it's not going to sound better on a higher fidelity system/medium. They have gotten some attention on Spotify however, so that's good.

I suspect that will change... because of this goal. it should be 100% reviewable and its easy to prove. I met up with him a few times at Sabres games last year and this year. He's rocking life that's for sure. I won't speak for him 100% but the negativity on here was an influence. When I saw him this season I told him I was back on the forum and we briefly discussed.. He still rocks Twitter like a master.. be nice to have him here, but I understand. I've finally resorted to the ignore button.

You ordered lettered jerseys? Then its potentially that long. it can be a few weeks to get the work done. But a general disclaimer is just that. I would expect some things to be less time... but the most customized item in the store is likely where they set the delivery time at...

I don't make resolutions... that's my resolution.

Ottawa gets in the crease better than most teams in the NHL. The Sabres are not good at clearing the front of the net, in fact I dare say they leave opponents between the D and the tendy as part of their strategy (still boggles my mind). This is why I think they have troubles with Ottawa. Time to step it up. Gotta get these wins if you want a shot at the playoffs.

True Believer! Get on board! Incorrect. Incorrect. Incorrect. Nope. You must have to run fast to catch the bandwagon each time you jump off. Not exactly. Absolutely. I can't imagine how you are not 100% correct here.. except.. not. Ahhh yup. I picture you running, waving fervently at the bandwagon to slow up. But..... it's fixed? One of us is ocnfused. ------ Just having some fun with the post game read through of the GDT. We're all along for the ride. But this team definitely did just enough to get a win today. No need to dissect it.. you beat the top team in the league.. that's all. Enjoy your New Year celebration people. I get to tend to a sick spouse tonight.. Hooray!

That would fit. I would swivel to the old "play until the whistle" adage. To me, bottom line, Larkin has to get that puck. Either way... the Sabres leadership certainly played it harder than the Red Wings.

18-0-2 at home. That 0 is insane. No regulation losses at home. The BRuins are ridiculously good. So.. Let's Go Sabres.. they're going to need to play insanely good.

There are two things I am still trying to figure out from this game... First, how JJP gets called for embellishment when he is literally hooked to the ice. Second, how Dylan Larkin, the Captain of his team and one of the fastest skaters in the NHL, basically comes to a stop retrieving the puck and allows Girgensons to blow by him to set up Okposo for the ENG. That's not a good look from your "C". No way he did not know Girgensons was coming.. no way. Overall a good game.. same problems although I'm hard pressed to pin much on UPL tonight. The first Kubalik goal was a great pass and bad defense. The second goal was much like Mitts, a bounce to the stick and the third goal well.. watch all 5 Sabres staring at the scrum and how fast it ends up on the far side of hte rink for a goal. UPL probably should have had that.. but better defense in front of him would help. Oh well.. Saturday will be tough. Bruins are.. insane.

Got it.. I was hoping that was it but I did not read it that way initially. I could get a refund for the LIghtning game on the 23rd. It is/was a limited window, but it was possible. As they should.. there's nothing essential about the Buffalo Bills players. If they could get home without violating driving bans then fine, but if not.. no way should they have been. It sucks to not be home, no doubt.. but that amount of suck does not come close to the combined amount of suck going on throughout the area and catering to them should be expected to elicit a "why them?" response.

There was/is a driving ban correct? Frankly there's no option but to postpone the game. No one should be driving.. The Sabres personnel and players are not essential. The fact that the Bills players somehow were allowed "IN" was stupid too. People just feel like sports should be above so many other things... it's just entertainment.

Why are you very disappointed?

Massive whiteout!

Leadership for the team.. if you've heard his mouth during a game I don't know that he's a role model for the kids.. 🙂 Lots of players do it.. however Skinner pretty much does it every shift and that's why its extreme. Not as extreme as that juniors kid or whatever league he was in that did it all the way up the ice to score a goal.. that was uber-extreme.

I emailed customer service/tickets last night with the question. I'm in Rochester and assuming the weather holds as predicted there's no way I am driving in. I drove in last year to the Sharks game when it had snowed like 9 inches that day. That wasn't that bad.. I am expecting this will be a travel ban. If I hear anything I will post here.

I think he goes back to the normal lines although hopefully he decides to rest Mitts. I doubt he will because it being Tampa coming up. The kid line didn't fare well against bigger teams who clog up the ice which Arizona and Vegas do. They were good against Tampa and I suspect he'll want that combination of speed for that game.

Kevyn Adams sleeping again. The Sabres could have had Danny O'Regan. He's such a great prosp..... oh. 🙂

Next season... not this season unless he's free.

UPL goes back down and if he can't understand the business aspects of the game then it's on him. He's played well, he can go to Rochester and continue to play well and wait for the inevitable return to the Sabres. With Comrie and Anderson healthy he won't play games and that's what they want to see out of him. UPL has had injuries.. I think the Sabres want to see him take on a heavy workload and he'd only do that in Rochester. If that bothers him, then he should have made sure the Sabres didn't need Comrie in the first place.

The other night Jack Hughes was on the ice for 6+ minute shift at the end of the game. Sometimes it just happens and sometimes you ride your players in big situations. Certainly not a long term strategy, but I don't think it's a strategy the Sabres would want. Just like I don't think they want a whole line sitting a period. UPL was fantastic in that game. I'll stop with the Sabres analysis right there. The Knights are a team built to play in the playoffs. They play a heavy game and muck up the ice pretty good. As noted by many, the Sabres will not last in a playoff game. I would agree with that. The Sabres still rely far too much on poke-checks to get the puck. They rely on their speed and skill to "slow" the other team down. But a team that can play a heavy game will have success against them. By all rights, the Knights should have won that game. UPL was the man of the hour. I'm not sure how in the hell Kolesar was not gone for 5 minutes on that hit. That was absolutely laughable. I guess I will analyze the Sabres a bit. The Sabres do not need more scoring skill. They need to add players who can contribute an average amount for a 3rd liner and players who absolutely slow down the top players of the other team. We're all on board with the dump VO and Mitts train... they clearly don't belong on this team any longer. One hopes some movement comes soon... but there seems to remain a league that is not interested in too many trades yet.

Rooting for Canada is like rooting for every Canadian NHL team combined. You can't do that, even if Sabres prospects were on the roster. Although it's good Canada gives us a reason to root against them more. I'll always root for the home team (although Zegras' "C" year was tough for me) and then ABC. Anyone But Canada.
