Great startup WC! Lets hope they don't get 1.5 million into the arena again tonight. That kind of crowd can make some noise!

Let's Go Buffalo!

Always go with the soft pretzel....... goes good with the beer, and you're not gonna wind up with a yellow, cheeze-like, sebaceous substance on your shirt..... or mustache.

I suppose Toronto deserves it after so many years of suffering
WHAT!!!!!!

Crows have the biggest brain of any bird in North America....... you should be proud of your heritage.
If we can stay off the PK we should be competitive...... and if we can't beat the Islanders WTF (who) can we beat?

I'll take you back to the Miller / Enroth days. The team was absolutely more defensive and more aware when Jhonas was in net. Quite noticeably so. Probably indicative of the difference in confidence the team has in the guy behind them.
I can remember this for sure.....
If you watched the Boston game the other night, you notice Boston is very confident in Rask, and as a result they played us reallytight in their end, running a big box, which pushed us to the outside. My perception is that this is happening with Nilsson as well. The players are worried about Lehner's rebounds, so they're not as aggressive in their own end.
The other day in the Boston game I did notice how "active" Boston was in their defensive end, and didn't relate it to Rask at the time..... but it certainly makes sense.
I'm on board......

What makes a team "play better" in front of one goalie vs. another? Honest question.
How does the goalie influence how the team will defend?
I've seen some goalies(usually not wearing a Sabres jersey) make some long first passes on offense, so I can see where that could be strategic...... but I'd think the team defends to minimize opponent offensive opportunities regardless of who's in net.

did you boo every player on the Rangers all game?
No, of course not....That would make anyone hoarse......But if you must know, here was the rotation.....
Vesey....... all game..... BOOOOO
Lundqvist....... 1st period..... and I think he heard me boo and that threw him off 18 seconds in...... now that I'm in his head, I'll probably boo him all game next time.
Nash ......2nd period..... because ...... because........well, because he's Nash.... and he's PFG.
3rd period ...... I was so effin happy I forgot to boo........
-
Why?
'Cause that what you do as a fan....... Boo the other guy.

I watched the game from 326 row 13...... there's only 14 effin rows...... But, it was a great perspective for seeing things develop and getting the big picture..... Lots of Rangers fans in the area, and in the arena in general..... Finally, a game where the crowd made some noise..... My personal contribution to the win was to BOO Vesey every time he touched the puck, although from that altitude, I may have missed a few..... Big Fun!
I was really amazed watching O'Reilly in the warm up...... his puckhandling skills are unreal..... Seems the guy can touch the puck 8 - 10 times per second..... He'll skate around in the warm up putting the puck between guys skates as they stand there, or putting the puck under someone's leg as they stretch, or testing the boards for rebound...... I could watch his demonstration for hours..... it was really cool. With his on ice hustle, he's become my favorite player to watch......

“I thought Sam Reinhart, especially in the third period dug in hard and battled against Crosby’s line. There were numerous stages in the third period where I thought that was the hardest and the best battle I’ve seen out of Sam and he did it against one of the best players in the game.”
I also noticed a better 3rd period from Sam, but I keep having flashbacks to Hodgson......... He get's caught out of defensive position quite a bit, and I've never seen him hit anybody. It must be a luxury to have Sam defend you as you'd never have to worry about being physically checked. We keep hearing of his hockey IQ, but it seems to be offensive minded only ....... I've been in support of him since his draft, but he's starting to lose the lustre in my eyes....
-
I am continually impressed with the play of ROR. It's the only good take-away I had from last night's game...............
-

I really enjoyed the camaraderie JS brought to the locker room. The photo bombs during post games were the best...... the one(s) with the wolly mammoth coat were priceless.....
I can't stop laughing.......
-
And Ratface........ and Rene Rancourt..... there's just so much about Boston to hate......
-
You "guys" look like you're dressed for 32, not 62.

I hate the Bruins, and I hate that effin FOG HORN worse..................
Go Sabres.....
Foligno mixes it up tonight........

In addition to being wrong, you realize this post is the functional definition of reactionary, right? Arguing against reactionism by being reactionary is, as the kids would say, a bold strategy.
Do the kids say that?
"It's a bold strategy, Cotton"
That's what I always hear from my kids when I'm about to make a mistake...............

definitely not disappointed...... I saw more tape to tape, one touch passes in the Edmonton game than I saw all last season!
Who was that team?

Penny Candy counters...
I know some of the youngsters here will say, hey we got that. Well you do, but we don't. There were stores with entire walls dedicated to buying penny candy. You would get two or three or more pieces for a penny. A dime bought you a fair amount of cavities. We all walked out with a white sack full of candy.
As kids, we were allocated $0.10 each Sunday to go to the corner store..... my sister always bought 2 $0.05 candy bars, and I went for the penny candy......

I'm an analog guy...... and I'm using an older flip-phone which is all scratched up.... I've got some pretty bad pics that I'll try to put up later today.....

Gotta crow a little bit on this one....... landed a 5 - 6 lb "fantail" rainbow last night. I've been steelhead fishing for over 35 years, and probably have landed in the neighborhood of 2,500 steelhead over that time ..... but this is the 1st fantail I've ever seen in the flesh. The fish is in the freezer until her date with the taxidermist.
and this is interesting.....

Kyle Okpso is out
ROR might be out
Jack Eichel has a high ankle sprain and is out
Auston Matthews who the hockey sports media has fawned over for months just dropped a 4 goal opening night.
I see how it is hockey gods. Between skates in the crease, lost lotteries, all the injured the defenders, DR incompetence an 4 years of some of the most unwatchable crap hockey ever and you turn around and pull this? Well you know what, to hell with you.
Your Buffalo Sabres will take on the Montreal Candiens tonight at the Key Bank Arena to open the 2016 season. Carey Price is out. PK Subban in gone. Sam Reinhart is potentially our #1 center. I say we skate with them, I say we stay with, and I say we shut them down because we can. This is our time. Their time is done, it's over.
I'm sick and tired about hearing what a crappy team the Buffalo Sabres have. This is our time. So if the hockey gods won't help us, I say f##k you, we do it ourselves. Now let's go out there and take it.

Looking forward to it.......
And as for making you look good....... you guys look pretty good from here. Great story.
