I posted something recently about him…it pains me to see him win when he had greater expectations of Buffalo than Buffalo did of him (shockingly). He gets to enjoy tonight. We’ll see if it has changed him. I wish him no ill will but I look forward to the Sabres meeting him in the future.

I’ve really struggled with FL vs LV because of Eichel vs Reinhardt but I think Eichel is the antichrist in terms of Sabres hockey. I would prefer Florida win this thing but there would be some poetic Justice if we see LV in the finals and woop them with Jacky boy as their leader.

Not sure how far away you are from Jay’s Elbow Room on 73 in Maple Shade, NJ, but they have legitimate wings. Cool place, too, with a good music selection.
I was there tonight!

I've been to several PJ Whelihan's including the original one on Haddon Ave. They are fine. Nothing comparable to an actual wing from Buffalo. Like I said, you do what you need to do to get a fix and you forget what actual "good" is until you go home and have something that's really good. Bar Bill and PJ's are not the same product.
As you know, Whelihans has a bunch of locations so it is a fallback for me when traveling in the area… I agree not the same. We were in Buffalo for the Green Bay game this year and went to my favorite place… can anyone tell me where this is?

When you live in suburban Philly you do what you need to do. If you learn how to order properly it's tolerable, but's it's not even close to the real thing. To be fair if I go to B-Lo and order a cheesesteak what I will get is crap compared to what I get in Philly.
I live in south jersey…a couple of decent places over here…Jay’s Elbow Room, Jug Handle Inn and PJ Whelihand’s. If you haven’t been over all are worth a try

Lots of losses that we thought were gimme games.
I am 0-2 in live viewings, both in Ottawa.
At least Ottawa is an up and comer…Philly and Columbus we should have just taken care if business.

Umm, just to remind you guys arguing about Johnson and calling each other trolls, this is the NHL regular season thread and not the prospect thread. Go argue about Johnson's value there if you want.
Figured Pittsburgh would beat Detroit but all 3 won so it seems unlikely that we can catch anybody. It's just so irritating. I wish KA had seen the potential and not just considered this a "development year". So many ways we could have been just a little bit better.
Regrettable losses:
columbus
philly (twice!)

Considering today's news on Spencer Knight, I bet Florida whishes they still had Levi.
I was going to point this out as well…sad for knight and his family. I wonder how much the panthers knew of this situation they traded Devon

What do you mean? Why, didn't you realize the Sabres have hosted TWO Winter Classics & one Heritage Classic?
They just move them all to the Buffalo suburbs. The 1st one to Orchard Park, the second to a slightly more remote suburb the Bronx, and the last one not quite as remote in Hamilton.
The next one Buffalo hosts will probably be in a slightly more remote suburb, Philadelphia.
Right?! Most people I know in Philly jokingly say “isn’t Buffalo a part of Canada?” I can’t wait until we start winning some things…not gonna rub it in anyone’s face but these types of comments will sting a little less

Buffalo seemed to be the only team/city to take a chance on this in 2008…I know that every team is bidding on this every year. Boston for some reason has been allowed to host it twice already. Maybe by the time the new stadium is built we can get back on the schedule? I’d love to see the Ralph get it one more time before it goes away

No NEED for fights in todays NHL.
Just a want.I’d rather have hard or skilled checks than “fights”.
I think part of LB’s point is that those hits are missing too…at least from the Sabres game

On ice:
Dom's 70 saves... Plante's OT goal... winning the Border War in Tronno... beating the Habs in Montreal to make first final... losing to Pittsburgh in opening round in 79.
Plante>May bc the former really kicked off a glorious era whereas May turned out to be of singular importance (esp for his banking account). Pens bc it was a distinct end of an era and brought Scotty and massive change.
HM: Malarchuk (but not significant enough for a list like this); LaLa trade (but ultimately not "on ice").
When you break it down this way, I can remember the mystique of playing Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver in the mid 80’s. I remember when Darren Puppa got the call and I think it was his first appearance with the Sabres and he shut out the oilers 2-0 maybe. I thought that was so cool.

Tough one. I guess I’ll use the perspective of moments that captured my attention.
I was too young to appreciate the spin that resulted in Perreault, so I can’t list that one.
The announcement that Alex Mogilny defected with the help of Sabres mgt
The downfall of the Rigas’.
Sabres beating the Soviet Wings
Golisano buying the team
May Day
No Goal needs to be in there somewhere, but I can’t pick one to remove in its place.
I thought about no goal too. That was painful

1) Eleven reaching 500 goals.
2) Gare in OT against the Habs in 1975 semi-final game 1.
3) May Day !!
4) All the games I attended at The Aud.
5) Any win that eliminated the dastardly Flyers or the dastardly Bruins from the playoff.
I agree with 5…beating bruins or flyers is always fun!

A little more nostalgia is just what this off-season is calling for! Could be on or off the ice. My top 5 in no particular order would be:
1. May Day goal and call. Beat the bruins and just damn exciting
2. fog/bat game. Announced the arrival of the Buffalo Sabres
3. Alex Mogilny’s defection opened the flood gates to a giant pool of hockey talent
4. acquisition of the Dominator started an era of domination
5. Black Sunday (I think) July 1 2007. Started the great slide
what are yours?

I don’t see him making those kinds of signings until we become playoff team. Then you add proven performers to step up in the playoffs. Right now the big free agents add a premium to sign with, us and we have lots of homegrown talent to pay soon.
I hear what you are saying, but it might be worth it to take a flier or 2 every year because it’s not like this is a precise formula…I see what he is trying to do but it may never work out. Should he take a swing in the short run, especially when he has so much cap room?
-
Like all of us, I am watching what happens on the open market and I just saw Klingberg sign with the Ducks for 7mm 1 season. I know that Kevyn is focusing on home grown and long term results. But should he sprinkle in signings like this, or Kadri on a short-term deal or others especially with all this cap room to see if he can catch lightning in a bottle? Culture is king, but taking a chance here and there might make some sense…

Watching these highlights it looks like Quinn was in and around the plays…maybe a breakthrough coming?

My only complaint is they should have incorporated some windows in the concourse/hallways on all levels. Just looking outside between periods would have been nice.
I agree…harbor center has some nice views

I waited to see if this got its own thread. Not sure if it’s posted elsewhere, but I think it deserves its own conversation. I, for one am glad to hear this. I know the Pegulas have gotten a lot of flack for the performance of this franchise, and rightfully so. They’ve definitely made a lot of mistakes but I don’t think there is a better owner for keeping this franchise in western NY AND eventually making them competitive again.

My first GDT. Tough matchup. Crebs at center. We seem to be taking 2 steps forward and 1 step back which is a marked improvement over the 1 step forward 3 steps back that previous regimes had us doing. Hopefully tonight they can continue moving forward even if it is a loss. Go Sabres!

Man, Sabres fans are much different than Bills fans…11 years? Please, you don’t know what pain is!

The summer doldrums of hockey. Propose an NHL rule change.

I have a problem with the schedule. It’s hard to develop a rivalry with a divisional opponent when you only play them 4 times in an 82 game season. Why can’t the rotate the western conference opponents very year? Would save on travel costs and beef up the intensity in divisional games.
