I like these announcers better than Dan and Rob. Better PBP by far, and I like to hear are the Sabres are perceived.

Young team.

Good evening Teammates, Punch checking in. Beat the Leaves. That is all. Muscle Weight.

Gritty , gutsy, scrappers because the effort should be there. …. actually prefer a balanced combination of both.

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. Stay home, no driving

Are there 100 people there?

I knew it! I guess you will be watching tonight too?

…. And join a long, and still growing, list of players that got out and did great.

You guys are harsh. He should not have shut himself down, he did the right thing playing through injuries. You have to do that in this league. He will probably get hot to end the season and still catch scorn for it. There is nothing that can fix the disappointment of this season but I’m not blaming Tage Thompson. I hope he gets 3 more tonight.

Nothing more fun than beating the Leaves and watching them go home sad.

Insightful commentary indeed.

Tomorrow is the big game against the Leaves. Maybe a few more Sabres fans will hold on to their tickets and the Sabres actually reward them by pounding Trono.

Good evening Teammates, Punching checking late, in time for the JJP Empty Netter. No NHL Network anymore. We have company in this weekend and I cooked, etc. So I listened to WGR here and there. Holy $hit, Tage with another empty netter as I type.

He has more work to do in the AHL. I can't help but think that Adams makes promises to his prospects that he should not be making.

My experience is that when games are on NHL network or TNT, then they are not on EPSN+

We need a play-by-play guy even more than we need a replacement for Mitts. The broadcast work of Dunleavy and Ray is not good enough. Once again, this organization settles for whatever.

No problem.

Sign are not allowed. Even the famous "Phantom Sign Makers" were told to shut it down. @PASabreFan might like this video. https://www.wgrz.com/video/news/local/unknown-stories/unknown-stories-of-wny-the-phantom-signmakers/71-fce5add0-8188-4f6c-90e6-23af600f44a8

OK, got faked out by the title. Let him play and be on the first pair, and experience leading a team and maybe even winning.

On a team that has big trouble scoring goals, Jeff Skinner is not the biggest problem. He is a limited player but he brings more than a lot of the guys on this team. The facts are we have a weak forward group. Last year we thought we had this highly potent scoring machine. Well the rest of the league has figured some things out, and several players are having down years, and the Sabres coaching staff has no answers. But yet Skinner plugs along on pace for 30 goals once again. I think we have one more year to go on that crazy contract, then we can look at a buyout. If I was Skinner I would be begging for a trade to a contending team and willing to rework the contract. He has to be sick of losing. If he isn't, then that is most likely his problem as a player.

Yup, when they lost Drury, Briere and to a somewhat lesser extent, Dumont and Grier, they lost a lot of good old fashioned grit. But they lost these players because Golisano would not pay, not because Ruff and Regier were bad. The core of homegrown Sabres that followed could not keep the team going forward.

Why? Why not let him continue to help a team make the playoffs? Is it just for the home stand?

If its on NHL Network then I'm pretty sure I cannot stream it on ESPN+. This great new cable package (sarcasm intended) that my wife just bought is missing key sport channels and instead added 50 other channels of fluff. I am going to have undo her best efforts to negotiate a lower bill. It takes me back to the early-mid 70's when I father proclaimed "no way am I paying $10/month just to watch television when I can watch it for free". He later found out you can watch R rated movies on HBO and that tune changed.
