6 is the magical time to park. You can even find spots on Broad. I was fifteen minutes past and still find a nice spot on Fitzhugh.

Nathan Gerbe our there sporting the C.

Dude gets it.

Can’t anyone be a dude? ?

People without children...or pets....or day jobs. C’mon dude. Get it together. Sabres are on a frickin streak.?

Tenny you need to stop that chit.

Ray is right. That was an excellent shot.

Ohhhh yeaaa!

If our Eichel got the better of an objective call then that’s a win for us.

I thought you had to hit them in the number for boarding.... but again, I’m uneducated.

Wile E got a little squirrelly for a minute.

Ummmmmm. He hit him very low. Below the waist. I’m uneducated but if you’re not in the numbers it’s ok? Maybe?

Giggidy!

Way to go kid!

Everything is not as fun without beer.?

Ink is right on. That’s light for a Wednesday. Is that pic when the teams were on ice? Sometimes takes a while for peeps to trickle in. The one dude in my row doesn’t get there until the 2nd or 3rd, for example. I’ve only been in WNY for 23 yrs so I can’t comment on anything older than that. Amerks win the Calder that year and the city was buzzing about hockey. Then I remember going to Friday games a few years later, like around ‘99/‘00, and attendance was horrific. Maybe 1000 ppl. The team was bad for a long time and like Ink is saying, there just became more to do. I even considered not renewing the season seats the year before they made the playoffs. I couldn’t even give tickets away. Decided to just do one seat last year(and again this year). I can always buy an extra ticket if someone wants to go. Why throw tickets away? I used my unused vouchers for the nights my wife going. They’re getting better though and it’s worth the price of two seats again, if anything, just to not have some random smelly dbag sitting knee to knee with me. Had this big troglodyte sitting there earlier this year. He knocks my friggin beer off the knee wall all over some lady standing there(which if she’d been in her seat...). She turns and looks at me like I did it. I wasn’t shy calling out the oversized uncoordinated bridge troll next to me. “That wasn’t empty?” He stammers. “No. I think that’s why she’s all wet dude.” Idiot.

I debated going but the 40 minute ride home afterwards convinced me not to go. Glad I didn’t. Johansson had a rough go it looks like. Yeesh!

...until the season ends and we fall short...of the Cup...or the playoffs...or any other line that is perceived to have not been crossed. There were a lot of lessons taught to young Sabres by veteran Kings tonight. I’m not bitching either, this organization is on the right road, it’s just not the right exit... yet...

Once the D gets healthy there’s really no other reasonable option. Bright side? He and the organization will be better served with him tearing the A a new Ahole...giggidy.

I was just going to comment about a more consistent forecheck but this sums it up nicely for me.

Someone tell Tennyson he’s supposed to push and shove the guy before the whistle blows.

Miracle on 34th St was my mother’s favorite. I wasn’t into it as a kid but the past few years I’ve made it a must watch to honor her memory. It’s good. My favorite scene? When she sees Kris singing in Dutch with the little orphan girl.... “Nicholas I beg of you, Drop into my little shoe, Something sweet or sweeter, Thank you, Saint and Peter!” Believing is awesome.

His hands and inability to finish have been the main thing holding him back IMO and he has definitely improved on both.

The win last night was big. Syracuse has 3 games in hand and this win put us 6 pts ahead. They also won Friday vs the Bruins. The first time we’ve bested them in 10 yrs. Bailey scored both the Amerks goals. The second was unassisted. Stole the puck at the blue line and completely smoked McIntyre.

After listening to Marty’s analysis of Linus at intermission, I think goaltending has a lot of similarities with scaring off bears...
