Getting outshot by 30 or more is never an expectation.

That's the score, or a bad poker hand? Sabres will have to pot 58% of their 12 shots. :lol:

They tour. Last seen at the Blue Oyster Bar.

With that start time most of the league probably saw that game. Buffalo is going to equal "pad your stats" night.

I think Nolan was throwing out Mitchell Samson Gionta. Not sure what the role of that line should be.

About the same time we hear in a player interview, "You know, I really didn't try very hard today at all. I just wasn't feeling it. I mean we were getting killed out there, so I mailed it in."

It is NOT that they played the Hawks and the Ducks. And this ISN"T a matter of effort. This is an incoherent system. The biggest change in hockey in the last 20 to 15 years has been in possession, and in contesting the neutral zone. Things Nolan apparently doesn't not believe in yet. Getting out-shot by 32 is hugely embarrassing. Nolan should be embarrassed. It was his job to have this team ready, if not to win, at least to give them the best chance of winning. Perhaps Nolan has a solution, but it better be something more than try harder.

:lol:

Im surprised he got that much.

Last 4 periods of hockey have been about the worst I've seen. And we've seen some bad of late.

I still haven't tried one. There are just some words that shouldn't go together. Pizza and Log. Maybe if it goes down with a Margarita and a Stream that would make it sound more appetizing. Other than Ted's old onion rings, I've never much liked fried food.

They have been slow starters the last few years.

Not that there is much choice.

You're not senile. And neither am .......what were we just talking about?

Goose has had a good start.

Not a bad period for Neuvirth. Best he's looked so far.

I think we'll have to get used to this. 10 for 40 on faceoffs. Hmmm. Never noticed the captains crest on the shoulders of the thirds.

I don't think you'll get any real complaints about that one. Gorges hit that is. Jackman's still in the league?

Ouch. That sucks for Maroon.

Holy crap. Get the puck in the slot, count to 9, and shoot.

Suggestion: Can Scott put in a text alert system when Zemgus is on the ice?

Icky Woods, a Bear on an ATV, Celino and Barnes have won more cases than the Sabres have won games. This makes me miss the Dodge Fairy Commercial.

Another minor. Woooo!

Shhhhh......I'm trying to finish Anna Karenina.

"Terry, I literally had to save hockey in Buffalo every week for the last ten years." "The team was for sale?" "I was waiting for you buddy, just waiting."
