  1. He has to know exactly what that will cost him and is waiting and talking with teammates to see if they are in on one more go for the championship. I would never disapprove of a moral conviction over monetary gain. Seems rather noble in the world of big money sports. It's almost as if he could be a team first type guy, terrible.... KAs has found the perfect goalie. The irony.
  2. Hopium hit the brick wall of reality. Yet I was highly entertained. They cracked the wall, a few shattered bricks law upon the ground. As long as the Sabres dust themselves off and give three more solid efforts this week it's all a fan can ask for.
  3. I don't care what the numbers mean. I don't bet. It's just a numerical way of showing how evenly matched two teams are. In this case because the numbers are so far apart (separated by 500 ) they are not evenly matched teams. It's the easiest stat for me to understand in 5 seconds (next to the greatest stat of all time the +/- ) , I don't care who produces a stat. Here's and old Irish stat, say it as fast as possible in your best Irish Brogue. WHALE OIL BEEF HOOKED If this game goes as some predict.
  4. It's simple. You always want to be a fan of the team with the negative sign in front of the number. Panthers Odds-275 Really good team Sabres Odds+225 Really bad team. Closer those numbers are to each other the more evenly matched game. I don't bet on much. I enjoy seeing horse racing live on great occasion and a simple $2.00 bet on a race. I do enjoy seeing a numerical representation of my teams chances. To me it is the most simplistic of *fancy stats*
  5. The Florida Panthers can clinch a playoff berth with a win at the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday. Florida is coming off an incredible 7-6 overtime win over the host New Jersey Devils on Saturday afternoon. Panthers Odds-275 Sabres Odds+225 Over/Under7 (+100 / -120) Time1 p.m. ET TV ESPN+ Can our Buffalo Sabres hopium crash through the Florida Panthers wall of reality and get a win in todays AFTERNOON DELIGHT game? Tune in and find out.
  6. Kitty's husband is having a mild heart attack in this thread everyday. Just tell Red that he's signed already. For the love of god.... And get Red's foot out of Thorny's azz before it gets ugly.
  7. Jack had no clue. Still doesn't. Been there when the floor shook from the crowd like an earth quake. It's been 2 decades. We are ready.
  8. There is a huge disconnect from a statistical and eye test to a locker room/coaches perspective that Eakin brings. There is a small glimpse into that with Eakin and RJ after the game. You just can't kick that type of player to the curb when you are trying to get a locker room with the right *character*, especially with the past 10 years of the Sabres locker room. As HGDG has often spoke of, what they do today is for the betterment of tomorrow. Eakin sets an example of a really good teammate. How many goals he scores may not be his value to the team.
  9. I hate to agree with you because it would be so much better if they just where really good, but KA can't bank on it.
  10. It's like watching your wonderful loving Dad grow old. Beautiful, but sad. How can anyone not shed a happy tear?
  11. Welcome to the forum. Thank you for your wonder insight. OCD is this sites middle name, and that hasn't even made a dent. I'd say you have a great idea. Of course your not officially welcomed till our two wonderful hosts know you are here. Right @The Ghost of Doohickie and @Marvin, Sabres Fan? Slackers.
  12. The era is the canvass that they are stitched on. Leave it as a great reminder of each one.
  13. That wasn't just a PR stunt last night. That was a great tribute from the entire orginization. They where ready for a sell out. The KBC staff was super friendly and smiling the whole time, helping old guys navigate total paperless experience ( I like paper tickets and buying my beer with cash, and especially tipping in cash). Every time there was commercial time out we got great video clips, you really didn't want to leave the sight of a TV/jumbotron. The *stage* set up in the top of the 120 section of the lower bowl is a nice addition since I was last there (2019).
  14. The fans spoke their peace. I don't believe it was the time or the place, but others had a different opinion. Terry had to know it was coming and hoping it wouldn't. To me it tarnished a perfect night. Cheering RJ and not allowing Terry to speak was much classier way of defining that moment, good on the 90% of fans that went that route. We all knew the road you would take , good of you to then go one step further.
  15. Not sure which three reports are talking, but one is definitely Hamilton. In todays perspective, retrospect.. They got their Stanely Cup (STL) How screwed up they where (Buffalo) It starting to go this way now...(Buffalo is on the rise) Ryan wasn't wrong (for wanting out) Buffalo wins a Stanley Cap it evens out (Paul Hamilton's take) NOBODY wants to talk about Saboka, Ralph Krueger does...(laughter) IMO best part. There're reasons why Ralph is not here, THERE"S A LOT OF REASONS! (second response..) I heard Eakin's name.
  16. I know exactly what it's going to take for that line to be good. What Eakin did at the end of the RJ game earns him a WHOLE lot of slack from me. There is no fancy stat for great teammate.
  17. Their really is no better place to be for a goalie prospect right now. You win and you're in.
  18. If that is what he will sign for than that's a no brainer for KA. I went to cap friendly and did a *Contract Comparables* for a 26 year old UFA that got 4 mill contract in the last year or 2. This is their list; Iafallo, Alex 97% match Toffoli, Tyler 93% match Fabbri, Robby 90 % match Armia, Joel Donskoi, Joonas Perron, David Saad, Brandon Palmieri, Kyle Hoffman, Mike Ferland, Micheal Connolly, Brett Kassian, Zack McGinn, Brock Pearson, Tanner Byron, Paul Foligno, Nick Goodrow, Barclay Tatar, Tomas
  19. It's far cry from last April. DFL. Impending trades of the top players. Expectations of more suffering. This is more than hopium where are feeling this April.
  20. Nice speech at the end by the teams captain.
