    First we have to wait 4 days for another game after a mostly disappointing west coast trip, and now we have to put up with the idiots on NBCSN commentating. Boo! Hopefully the Sabres line changes have an impact.

    That true, we benefited from the goaltending matchup on both sides, but they still played with a lot more energy the whole game than in game 1. The Folino-Larson-Gionta line was great on both ends of the ice picking up where they left off last season. Plus the chemistry of RoR, Opsoso and Samson looked promising. I'm having a hard time telling whose being serious about Moulson and whose ragging on him. He was good for us once upon a time and I hope his play through 2 games isn't a fluke. If he can get 20+ goals this season that'd be a huge help, especially early in the season with Eichel and now Kane out. Ennis though is looking a bit lost out there. He seems to be working hard, but not seeing much results. I can see him getting frustrated and spiraling out like Moulson did last year. Time will tell. Not enough data yet to know what we'll be getting on a regular basis.

    I always end up missing the West Coast games. I get up at 4am, so a 9pm start is a pretty late for me. I'll probably catch the first period then go to bed. I'll record the rest and assuming I can avoid the score (very easy here since few people like hockey) I'll watch the rest after work tomorrow instead. Calgary is 0-2-1 right now I think, so they are going to be hungry for a win. And Chad Johnson was pretty solid for us, so I expect him to come up big. Definitely hoping we see the Sabres from game 2 and not the lunks in game 1.

    My Jersey selection is limited to 2: "Third Jersey" from the Slug Years Pomminstein and my new RoR jersey I got at the home closer last year because I'm a sucker for discounts on stuff. Most of the time I just wear my Winter Classic Hoodie though. I'll probably wear RoR to work tomorrow since I couldn't get away with it today. As much as I want O'Reilly to play every game, I hope he's not rushing himself back and hurting us in the long run. It sure seems that way if he can't take face offs/is limited.

    There is an app for NHL.Tv for Android(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nhl.gc1112.free&hl=en-US), but it's a pay service and only out of market games (ie no Sabres for you since you live in the market area). I'm not sure about NHL.TV, but the cable package always has a 2 week free preview of the hockey package. But that still won't help you with the blackout issue.

    Buffalo Hockey Beat (http://www.buffalohockeybeat.com/sabres-notes-rasmus-ristolainen-happy-contract-done/) says it's likely: Although I read somewhere else (I forget where) that even if he plays tonight his time will be limited and he won't take faceoffs "due to the nature of his injury".

    Thanks as always!

    Nice. Schoellkopf had a solid core the years I was there too (mid 90s), sadly I couldn't join them at the camp, but we started an Explorer post for a few years. Plus several of them were largely responsible for helping me to complete my Eagle, and the camp let me come out to talk to a bunch of Scout Masters to help in my Leadership project.

    Cool. I only ever went to Schoellkopf, first as a camper, then CIT, then 1 year as paid staff. I helped out a lot at the Trading Post in my off hours as a CIT, and was hoping to work there or COPE full time as a staff member, but ended up teaching Basketry and Metalworking at the Craft lodge instead. I still would have gone back for a third year if I could have afforded to do so, but I made a lot more money in far fewer hours working at Timmy Ho's. Alas. Pretty awesome you worked one for so long.
  10. SabresBaltimore
    Oh man. I forgot all about Bells.
  11. SabresBaltimore
    Schoellkopf?

    I've actually only had 8 jobs, although my current job (Software Engineer) has been with 3 different companies including my college internship. I've only had one job I truly hated (Whiting roll-up door), although some of them I'd probably have hated a lot more if I was still doing them now. My current job is the best I've had (luckily) but I really look back on the 2 years I spent at Schoellkopf fondly. Sadly it didn't pay enough to cover my expenses so I had to give it up for full time at Timmy Ho's when I turned 16. I knew some guys who worked there for years though. 1. Took coats for parties at a Knights of Columbus 2. Counselor at Camp Schoellkopf 3. Tim Hortons 4. PC Repair 5. Summer Work crew at Whiting Rollup Door (this job makes me appreciate pretty much every other job I've ever had) 6. Temp Worker/Data Entry 7. Web Development

    I'm more annoyed by Artemi Panarin than McDavid. At least McDavid put up his numbers on a bad team as a real rookie. Panarin is what, 24? And played like 7 seasons in the KHL first? Not to mention playing with one of the best offensive players in the league. I don't get how he can qualify against 18-20 year olds. But then I read at one point some guy won it at 30 who had played in Russia for all of his 20s. I think they should limit it to anyone with fewer than 2-3 seasons professionally in any league. AHL, KHL, whatever. Otherwise why bother with a rookie reward at all?

    Thanks Peppy!

    I haven't tried Google News Alerts. Maybe I'll look into that for the Bills news. I used to use Google's RSS reader until they ditched it a few years back. I ended up switching to Feedly instead and that's worked really well since. But if websites stop supporting RSS, I'll be SOL I guess. I don't really get why they would though. Probably must think it results in fewer page views. In my case though it leads to more.
  17. SabresBaltimore
    That's a great idea. I don't know why I wasn't doing that already. I used to read the Sabrespace front page daily years ago (that's how I found these forums) but for whatever reason I never added them to my feed. Thanks. Sadly it looks like Two Bills Drive doesn't have an RSS feed though, but at least Sabrespace does.

    I follow a few websites (including these forums) for news about the Sabres and Bills. One of my main sources is/was the Buffalo News. I don't necessarily like Bucky or Sully very much, but the coverage is frequent. I primarily consume my news via RSS feeds. 4 days ago updates to the Bills and Sabres feeds stopped. I'm not sure if this is a glitch and they'll start working again, of if they turned them off on purpose. I can't seem to even find links to their RSS feeds on the website anymore. It could also be Feedly's issue. This has happened to me a few times on less popular feeds falling behind. I know the push it towards social media, but there is just too much noise to wade through. Do any of you guys use RSS feeds? If so, what feeds do you follow for Sabres/Bills news? Thanks.

    Thanks as always Peppy.

    Thanks!

    Yeah, that annoyed me because I'm in the same boat. However it wasn't as bad as me claiming to have 1 child in my house because there wasn't an option for 0. Do they assume all of their fans have at least 1 child? Whoever made the options for that survey should be fired.

    I've always stayed at Planet Hollywood, because that's where the convention I go to is located. The nice thing is most of the others are walking distance from there. We only got a taxi for a few off strip things, and even then the weather has been nice enough (for me) in January that we've simply walked to some places given enough time. We didn't really do any sightseeing though. Most of the time was at the convention. We caught a few shows before/after the convention, but those were at other casinos, or went to eat at this German Restaurant off the strip. I think in the three years I've gone, I've only ridden in a taxi twice (not counting to/from the airport).

    Thanks Peppy!

    I'm in town to go the game too. I agree, they better win.

    I thought I read somewhere (Buffalo News?) a quote from Bylsma saying he was going to ride Ullmark until the kid showed him a reason not to, but I might be miss remembering. I hope he keeps playing and playing well. No offense to Johnson, but he's a career backup. This seems like the time to figure out if Ullmark can cut it as a starter.
