It’s painful on the radio. You never know where the puck is let alone who has it. Terrible. Play by play should not be a lost art.

Yet another guy gets his first goal ever on us. 16 seconds

Hmm. What blood. Silly rule

Mitts in home state

I am for it.

Finally heard Skinner’s name tonight.

I do. I’m watching it.

Rossi with a dive.

The power play quit I guess

Did you get the stream working?

Oh well.

Ok a PPG. Finally. Nice

Dahlin was open a lot but they feed Tage. They need to mix it up.

I am watching on ESPN+. It is in the “Live” menu, right up front.

Tage had puck control but no one to pass to. His wingers are non existent. I thought I saw Lou Nanne and JP Parise.

Oh no. A power play.

Looks like North Stars colors for sure. They are outplaying us so far.

Good evening Teammates, Punch checking in. Ready to see a road win. Muscle Weight

apathy plus sarcasm and ridicule => defense mechanisms

You stole my post. These guys can't handle this. But there a good group that gets along.

I missed the last two games. I will be watching this one. Hoping for a win and better play. I would hate to see them give up. Sabres are missing Power and Samuelsson North Stars missing Spurgeon and Filigno Sabre are actually taller and heavier on average. North Stars are 4 years older on average (as usual). We are 10 point out of a WC, they are 5 point out of a WC. Lets see who comes to play. When I look at the team stats I can only think that if we fixed the power play we could be in the race and maybe even holding a spot right now. Just an average PP and we might have 4 or 5 more wins. Yet, they continue to let Matty Ellis run the PP. The definition of insanity ...

When I was young I had great flow. My hair was grown out like Robert Plant's when I was 16-21. I went short hair at 22 when I graduated from college, and then decided to keep it short for my job and for ease of maintenance. By early 30's the receding started. The cue ball is slowly getting there but I am stubbornly holding onto the sides and back - no comb over allowed. Rest assured, Larry David would admit me into the bald community.

arrears?

No beaver hat, but I like hats. Partially bald on top/front - I call it an enlarged forehead. My heart is strong thankfully. Wife thinks the Sabres are a waste of my time and therefore keeps a running list of jobs for me to do.

What I see different with Thompson this year is speed. Last season he played faster and was much stronger on his stick too. He was different, more decisive, determined, and driven. Injuries to him and line mates are only a part of it. He needs to reduce the dangling and lateral moves and drive faster and harder to the net more often. He needs to play like he is bigger and stronger than the competition, because he is. I am going to say this AGAIN, repeating what I said right out of the gate. They wasted the camp and preseason. They looked at all their coveted prospects for too long and did not drill the vets and NHL players enough. Contrast this to Florida and the things that Maurice recently said. The Panther players all worked harder in camp than the coaches were going to work them. They came in with a mission. Our guys coasted while Adams and Granato looked at every dam draft pick and prospect ad nauseum. Then they ran a 3 man goalie tryout that extended into the first 2 months of the season. Add the injuries and the slow starts and we were toast right out of the gate. Worse, they put in a "defensive aspect" to the "system" and that confused them and that killed what they were good at. They should have been practicing the system changes instead of looking at 19/20 year old kids. The team was completely unprepared to make a playoff run. The FO and the coaches and the players all talked about playoffs but did NOTHING to enable it to happen. Adams in particular sat on a young and flawed roster with such arrogance, as if his prospects are all difference makers. We saw glimpses of Savoie, Kulich and Rosen in the NHL - none of them are ready and I don't expect them to be ready next year either. Adams needs to wake up and improve the NHL roster and make these kids beat out a real NHL player to get to Buffalo. Back to Thompson - he plays parts of games at a decent speed, if he does not score right away he reverts to floating. Playing with KO and Skinner is not helping him. Given the line he is on, I would like to see him play faster and harder and actually hog the dam puck more. Drive to the net, not away from it. Look at the video Tage, drive to the net and get to the slot, not away from it. Grrr.
