Sabres Fan in NS

That's what she said ...

Nope. I think if the Sabres finsih well he will receive a contract extension in the offseason.

Seems like I'm either the only *smart* one or the only *dumb* one so far.

Who ??

We always have to avenge someone and he was the only Jet that popped onto my head.

Why is it manditory for me to select someone to be worse when I don't think any of them will be worse ?

More and more each game. He is earning a fat contract. Not the standard 7 x $7M contract though. I still say 5 x $5M, maybe 5 x $4.5M.

For those taking notes the game is on TSN3 in The Great White North and on *pirate satellite, orbiting your living room*.

Indeed. Since the focus was on the defencive side of the game all season it has taken half of it for the team to get to where both aspects are working. The biggest difference now is that 6K has become the stud #1 they desparately needed. The goalie coach needs a big fat bonus and a raise. Sure, 6K has matured, but he has worked hard and the coach is fantastic. Can't remember that dudes name right now. I will say this - the Sabes will make the playoff, unless the wheels completely fall off.

MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! AVENGE HOUSLEY !! (YOUS HEARD ME !!) SWORDS !! Guessing we will see Levi tonight. Has he been called up ?

Looks like I missed a very good one.

I really like my new department at my permanent part-time job. It's challenging and intersting work - as interesting as income tax can be. In 20+ years I have not had a regular paycheque every 2 weeks, so that continues to be nice. My heart breaks when I read posts of layoffs and such. I have been there too. It's payday of a 3 pay month, which is always nice - I know that it all evens out in the end. I know @Taro T is on his annual Lent fast. Ramadan will start in 10 days. I am not doing a full fast again this year, but it's always fantastic. All in all a pretty fantastic Friday. A fantastic start to a fantastic, I hope, month. I still say the Sabres make the playoff.

You know what, I'll say it, the Sabres are playing good hockey the last 10 games or so. They played a playoff type game against the Panthers and deserved a better fate. They came back to tie and then win against the Lightening. They could easily be on a 5 gamer right now. It's not likely to be enough, but I will continue to hope for the playoff until there is no hope left. 6K is legit. The guys trust him back there. They are playing well in front of him. That is the biggest difference.

Hello Angry Inky. Have not seen you around for a while. How's it hangin' ?

MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! AVENGE DAVEY FOR THAT CUP IN 2004 !! SWORDS !!

No. That's not it. I think he and his family are good owners. He hit sooner with the Bills. I do think that he would prefer a Super Bowl win since it's a bigger deal nationally, but I am only guessing. I think he was sold a bill of goods on the whole *tank* idea. That has set the franchise back to the stone age. I think he trusts KA to finally get it right and it has taken and will continue to take time. I have never been critical of the ownership of the Pegula's. They have done much more good by both teams. Of course, your milage may vary on that.

6K is carrying the mail tonight. Again.

Not to derail the interesting conversation happening in here, but there is some Sweedish dude on the left hand coast of Canada that maybe would / should be a trade target, if in fact he is on the market.

These are not the same Sabres that barfed all over themselves in the last meeting with the big cats from south FL. This game is all over SN here in Canada and on *pirate satellite, orbiting your living room*. A 4 gamer is on the line. MUST WIN !! GO SABRES !! AVENGE THE PINK PANTHER !! SWORDS !!

6K and Levi will become this era's Edwards and Sauve combo. The Sabres needed a few more pieces in 1980 and they would have had their best chance at the cup.

There is no cap issue now and in the immediate future. 6K will sign a 5 year $25M contract. That is 1B money, I think, which is what he has earned at this point. Give him a bonus of a pizza and wing party at the establishment of his choice.

Great win. They all are. The damn shootout is the second worst thing ever invented, but I will allow it when the Sabres win.

Crosby has started the inevitable decline, but if my team just makes the playoff I would want him leading it still. Nathan MacKinnon is the best player in the NHL right now. I humbly suggest you edit his name in the poll ... he is a Mac not a Mc. Thems fighing words for some, eh. EDIT: The poll should be public so we know who to shame for picking that prima-donna Auston - you might as well adjust his name in the poll while you are at it (insert winkie thingie here) ... we all know that @Thorny has a man-crush on dear ol' Auston.

Wonderful !!
