Undoubtedly tied to the evolution from wearing pads to wearing armor on the ice.

I'm still looking for an article a St. Louis journalist did on him. We quoted it way back when. When you read it you'll see that he was basically convincing himself that the city hated him. It was like the crap he pulled in Colorado as well. Everyone gets sick of losing. Some have the mentality to change it, others just make excuses to get away from it. I suppose I could search the archives here.. but I'm not real good at it.

Eeyore will never love hockey. He only loves when everyone loves him... and even then he secretly wonders if they hate him. It wasn't Buffalo that killed his "love", it was his conspiracy theory that people didn't like him. I wonder if anyone has asked him lately if he still has his love for the game?

I guess if the game was rigged then it was Bill Belicek and Robert Kraft who agreed to allow two kick-off returns for TDs? Those damn officials!

You think there will still be a downtown for them to come back to? And this is great news with Damar. For all the times we hear about how bad the medical system is there are times like this... and I'd like to think the times like this are more frequent than the stuff we have to hear about. I wonder how much his physical health plays into his recovery. I'd have to think it plays a big part of it.

Frankly if they can get a 7th round pick I'd be amazed. He's a guy who has placed academics above hockey (not a bad thing). I think teams would be wary on him, but who know.

Man.. games like that.. a great one to be at. It ranks with some of the best games I've attended. Not much to say about it other than this team now knows what the fans will do when they play like they are playing. The other players now know what the arena will be like when the Sabres are rocking... and they know that Buffalo is about to be the place to be for great hockey... if it's not already. Back to exciting times...

Hey y'all. Over in 308 tonight. I can head down into the first level to say hi after the first. If you'll all be out there.

I'll definitely look to find you all in arena. My son won't let me go anywhere else but Pizza Plant before the game. 🙂

These things say so much about the culture of this team and what they are built upon. I'd like to think any team would operate in this matter should something like this happen but it's awesome to know 100% that the Buffalo Bills operate that way. There are already so many players speaking out about how Damar was treated as a human and not an asset. Those comments are a demonstration of what Buffalo is about, both the team and the community they represent. It's a truly horrible situation but when Damar becomes aware of this during his recovery I have to think it will be a huge benefit for his mental well being in processing all that has happened to him.

They don't matter enough to ignore other things in building at team at the expense of improving face-offs. That's the key to the statement that face-offs don't matter. Certainly they do matter, but you don't keep someone like Cody Eakin on the team because they don't matter enough to put him on the team at the expense of everything he takes away from the lineup compared to someone else. I guess it's the difference between good and good enough.

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.
