    I wish more players would stand up for their own point of view like Provorov and diss honoring groups before games with special jerseys. Seems like LGBTQ are the only ones who ever get honored with special jerseys before games. Why don't other minorities get equal time? There are Indians, Blacks, Japanese, Ukrainians, Chinese, Africans, Hispanics, Christians, Muslims, Jews...How about the homeless, stray animals, or even space aliens? Why are only LGBTQ and maybe the military getting all the attention?

    Good grief. 🤦‍♂️

    Yeah, I think Dorsey has the same gunslinger attitude Allen has, and that's why Allen likes him so much.

    Seems to me like Dorsey thinks he’s playing a video game, instead of a real game. The back to back calls for deep throws to Davis made me think of a kid playing a video game.

    I got nothin’. 

    Was really looking forward to the Miller celebration on Thursday, but they don’t deserve another minute of my support. Friends and family can have my STs for the rest of the season. I’m spent. And for the first time in decades season ticket renewal is questionable. 

    I feel you. 

    I had been waffling on going to the Miller game, but the performance tonight solidified my decision not to waste my time and money on it.

    Zamboni at Thomas Creek aka Rochester Ice Center.  It's more like pick-up than a league. No refs, no scoresheet. "Coach" takes us through drills for 15-20 minutes first, then game on.  Coach blows whistles for icing and off-sides, drops puck for face-offs, calls the occasional penalty (penalty shot). Other than that it's mostly fun and laughs and the progression as an adult learner is so addictive if you are that type.  

    I’ve been trying to find a league that would be a good fit for me. I haven’t played in 20 years, so I can’t just join a league with guys that have been actively playing, but I’m also overqualified for the “never ever” league. 

    I will have to look into this, it might be what I’ve been looking for.

    In addition to Taro's theories for the letdown I have to wonder how many of the boyeeees were at the Bills game. Not suggesting that they overindulged in anything (beer, unhealthy food etc.), but if they sat in the elements that might have turned out to be no bueño even for young dudes.

    I saw quite a few young dudes at the game yesterday that were shirtless. I hope they are all okay today. It was probably the 70th worst elements I’ve been at for a Bills game.

    The Sabres are built to overwhelm other teams that most likely do not have their speed and/or skill. Just as an example they have 5 guys on the team that are scoring at a rate equal or more than a point a game. If they play their game and don't get too involved in trying to beat their opponent at their game then they have the best chance to win. Games are won on goals scored not on hits administered. Don't get me wrong, physical paybacks are part of the game and it is very important to stick up for your teammates and protect your goaltender but teams built on physical strength over skill and speed use that physicality to try to change the way their opponents play. 

    You mean, like, the Broad Street Bullies?

    Patriots fans still bitching and complaining that the game was rigged 

    NFL wanted the bills to win. Goodell eA there too telling the officials to not throw flags

    The irony of Pats fans saying that the game was rigged…

    I was lucky to be at this game. What a fun one to witness…

    This is why the Sabres needed to play.  They did not disappoint.  Wins over Boston and now Washington.   Playing tough with the Conference heavyweights.  

    All the coincidental "3" stuff is nice too.  

     

    What is interesting, is I was reading comments on a Caps site after the game, and the majority of their fans felt the Sabres are a better team than the Caps. 

    A lot of them were happy with the loser point, and even more happy that Ovi got 2 more goals.

    At one point they said cpr for 9 minutes. Not sure if I heard that right. They also mentioned the backboard but maybe thats common ?

    What I heard, was that he had been down for 9 minutes, and that they were doing CPR - so, if I heard correctly, it’s not clear when they started CPR or how long they had been doing it.

    Such a scary scene.

    They definitely were a little off tonight...lots of opportunities for good chances with a better pass and they just seemed to always end up in a skate or be just a little too far and made the players reach for it and gave the defense time to get to them...

    Still had some really good chances, just didn't bury them.

    I'm going to go with them being a little tired from 3 games in 4 nights. Hopefully they have a better outing next game.

     

    It was also the Sens 3rd game in 4 nights, so that’s not much of an excuse.

    Mesy Balls Benoit.  Who did you think?  (Houge was a wing, btw.)

    That’s why I was confused. 

    My brain doesn’t even remember another Benoit playing for the team, besides Hogue.

    And, considering how many French heritage players had prominent roles on the Sabres, it's blatantly ridiculous.

    Now, an anti-####ty French player bias, pretty sure it was historically there though having Benoit as a key D-man during the tank era shows they got over it for a while. 

    What Benoit are you talking about?
