I am Defecting

Good Sabres Teams Condensed: Perreault, etc. - McEichel no Cup Hasek, etc. - McEichel unnecessary Drury/Briere, etc. - Girgensons/Ennis etc.

I don't like how BRIAN KOZIAL puts us in a RACE TO THE BOTTOM. Hey Brian, I've turned your show off and am waiting for people to tell me what sponsors you might mention, even casually, so that I can boycott them. I'm hoping we can trade you for the Weather Channel. Sleep Apnea Care: You just entered the RACE TO THE BOTTOM.

It's like he's trying to corral his interviewees into some sort of rock bottom moment which would make him very happy. And if they don't go on that very depressing ride with him, he'll attack them for not being accountable.

They were Atlanta? Good, very good. Anything else?

I'm having a difficult time finding a perceived slight against Winnepeg to rally behind. There's the Kaleta thing, meh. Maybe this is about Grigorenko proving all the doubters wrong. Maybe it's about Neuvirth. That's not enough. There's very little to hate about Winnepeg. Motivation is a problem for this game. And how do you get a barge from Buffalo to Winnepeg? Up the the Hudson Bay and down? Not at this time of year you don't. No, this game is about long term sustainability, not the magical barge powers of some slapstick long gone russian novelist. It's not sexy, and it's not violent, but it will go a long way in determining the outcome of the season. Players and coaches: keep up the good work, and make us proud.

Absolutely. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq73FAo4x38

Not bad. Not bad. Let me show you how we do it, where I come from. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS-_W-dOYeo

He's making a list, checking it twice, Gonna find out who's naughty or nice, Santa Claus is coming to town. He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good, So be Good, for goodness sake. (don't tank)

Neuvirth deserves a night in, too.

I want another hot team, like the 4th or 5th hot team we've faced, to run into this buzz-saw too. I'd like their starting goaltender to be included in the evisceration, as well.

Faster than an F-35. I'm like a Raptor.

I'm hoping so too, and that general management starts giving us the best chance to win now. We might be turning that corner. My services may be needed down-canal in Rochester.

You'd refuse a promotion, to be assured that you can collect welfare.

That's a loser's mentality. You should be ashamed. The Sabres and citizens of Buffalo are winners. We pity you (the fool). You'd kill yourself for the life insurance.

Don't let up!

Bring the noise!

We need to stay motivated. For our country. For our town. For our women!

I got shootout win, but something whispers Stafford.

Now, Attack, attack, attack! Drive them back into the River!

Sorry I'm late to the party. We need BARGE SONG, stat! Low Bridge, everybody! En Garde, Senators!

This is like when the British burned Buffalo in 1813... or is it the OPPOSITE of that? Let's get a goal, and chase them out of town and over the Falls! ARrrgh.

Oh... You fought all the way, Johnny Reb, Johnny Reb. You fought all the way, Johhny Reb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNq1IDwImPs

I like that point a lot. I was thinking how Nolan lets Ennis be himself, and he might just be working the old mumbo jumbo on Hodgersons too. It's like a Flow with Nolan, rather than a strict Ruffian System. Nolan might be Zen.

How dare he take a swipe at Nikishka! How dare he! That will NOT be tolerated!

We need to stay sharp and quick. These Panthers are sneaky, devious, devil-cats.
