Randall Flagg

Yeah, I think these guys were helped by that rest. First line is daaaaaaaaangerous. Let 'em have it, Rayzor.

Jesus Christ Tage, that was ridiculous. Imagine the goal of the year contest if Tage had finished that.

Close! Pominville come on man. Great shift though.

That was nasty.

ATTABOY JACK WOWWWW

It's amazing the places on the ice that so many of our guys can't get shots on net from.

Sobotka in the slot alert

Jesus Pominville what was that

Let's go boys!! Samson was beautiful on the boards there coming out of the zone. 90% of players would just chip it ahead to Philly, he held it and tried again with Bogo. Nice shot from Eich.

Go Bonnies! Would Joe Yerdon be so kind as to tell us who we will be seeing in net for them, then?

Sure, but your "guy that's not really going to be the guy" not being Ron Francis and rather just being a good player is a lot different than a guy that's supposed to be "the guy" not being "the guy." If we drafted a defenseman at 7OA in 2015, then I'd bet people are a lot harder on Sam than they are now

I bet a lot of this is that even though we were happy to be picking second, even at the time it was alllllllllllllll about the 2015 draft for most of us. Sam was always going to be "the guy behind the guy we draft next year." Whereas that guy, Eichel, had his captaincy declared a failure in game 3 of this season by some Sabres fans on this board, literally So I think the patience is inversely related to the expectations people had for each player from the beginning.

Yeah, everything about the bottom nine doesn't make sense. Removing the boardwork abilites from line 2 to put a guy who's been useless away from Jack there submarines it, followed by a combination on the fourth line that history has shown will turn it from a 60% puck possession line to a 20% puck possession line, and a whole lot of bleh from line 3. In fact, it make so little sense that I fully expect a 6-2 beatdown in which Jack's line scores zero of our six goals.

What's our record when the Sabres are playind during your son's games, versus when you get to see them? I'm compiling everyone's watch data, and you will be contacted with where you need to be for every Sabres game to maximize our chances shortly. :)

The Sabres are 4-0 in afternoon games this season.

But like that was the baby tank compared to the next season! That's not a bad thing for us.

Lol I remember that deadline being pretty anticlimactic, why was THAT the day Sabrespace has never seen more traffic? I would have thought clinching last place, drafting Eichel, Eichel's first game would have drawn more

You'd expect 3 games in 10 days to have your lineup healing, especially since we haven't played in 4 and we come out of that with the worst/most-injured lineup with the season so far. How does the injury situation get worse when we haven't even played I'm still really frustrated that we don't know why McCabe was upgraded, and Scandella is still out, these guys were slated to be back a week ago.

Our bottom 9 is uuuuuuuuugly today, assuming lines are the same as yesterday. They've gone 3 games without getting a goal while any of the bottom 9 forwards are on the ice. Will it be 4? And Zemgus on a defensive line >> Pominville on any non-Eichel-Skinner line or Vlad on any line or Tage on a defensive line

Today is Kyle Okposo's 700th game, nice.

I know it's just one game but in the context of losing 4 in a row it's really important we win this one

I assume that's the day we traded Miller?

venison is soooooooooooo goooooooooooooooooooood I didn't think that as a kid, but eventually if you grow up needing to eat something you develop a taste for it

One time we were flying back on a family vacation, and got delayed in Baltimore on a layover. We waited in the airport until the flight was canceled...at 11pm. We started the drive home to WNY at 12:30am. That was an...unpleasant night.

The official that Hughes was heated at after the game has been placed on "administrative leave" while the league investigates. Jerry Hughes is not being suspended. According to Eric Wood in the Athletic, it's the same umpire that was suspended for calling a player the n-word. So I'm inclined to believe Jerry that he was called a b-word, and the league agrees. Good on the NFL for getting this right so far. (besides not tossing the guy for calling a player the n-word??) And good on Jerry for reigning in his unsportsmanlike penalties, though I still think the reputation from 2+ years ago harms him - I've never seen a player get held like Jerry does.
