As you say no one was looking out for him, that is so true. Especially his friends/teammates. He had many years of sobriety after one of his rehab stints. One night he goes out with his buddies and after turning down shot after shot being offered to him, they finally broke him down and he did a shot. After that, he was off to the races again and back into trouble in no time. No one seemed to care he had major demons, other than his family.

Dumb and dumber?

That's one guy that couldn't beat Rayzor in a third grade spelling bee.

Ullmark was Hasek-esque those last 2 minutes.

While biting your tongue, lol

Only Linus stood on his head and deserved the shutout. Miller always let in a softie to lose the shutout.

That really sucks for Linus. He so deserved the shutout.

Love it when Cozens scores. Has that big smile plastered on his face for like 5 mins after.

There is so much to his story. He was arrested numerous times. He totaled his Monte SS, totaled a Harley from many drunk driving incidents. If it were today, he woulda been jailed for a long time and been banned from the NHL. He got away with so much. He was maced on his front porch in front of his kids because he was so drunk he was wielding knives in the kitchen. His wife had to call the cops. He was a major alcoholic, was doing cocaine, oxy's, mushrooms. He was just spiraling out of control. Went through several rehabs. Played a lot of his games boozed up. Just crazy stuff. Was out on his boat with his family going to lunch when he dies of a massive heart attack. Was a really sad story. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it.

There was a lot more than cocaine. He was a mess.

Anyone watch this on Amazon Prime? It is a great documentary on one of the best fighters ever in the NHL. This guy was crazier off the ice, than he was on the ice. There was a lot we knew about him and his problems off the ice, but this film sheds a lot more intimate things about his life on and off the ice. A great watch if you have Prime. Definitely more entertaining than a Sabres game right now.

So, who is NJ gonna take out for the Sabres tonight? No way we make it through a game against the Devils healthy. This BS re-alignment is a ***** curse!!

Wil Borgen out 6-8 weeks with a Fractured Forearm
Claude Balls replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
New Jersey is single handedly ruining the Sabres. They alone took out our three best defensemen. Lindy is getting his revenge apparently. -
One of the very few guys on the team with a spine. No Risto, no McCabe.....this team can't possibly get any weaker can it?? I always though Jake got too much hate on this board. He's a warrior!!

Rasmus Ristolainen Talks His Corona Virus Disease Course
Claude Balls replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
The Pegulas being the owners of your hockey team.....also not a recipe for success. Hopefully, Risto makes a full recovery and has no ill side effects. This disease picks and chooses who to bring the hammer down on. -
10 years of a losing culture = ***** mentality

Sabres' non-celebratory goal celebration vs. Caps
Claude Balls replied to PASabreFan's topic in The Aud Club
It was more of a celebration than I gave them. Maybe score once or twice in the first 52 mins of the game. -

The Hindenburg, The Titanic, 9/11, The Buffalo Sabres. Some disasters just belong together.
-
That was a wicked shot. I still hate this ***** team.
-
Because they know they can't come from behind. If they don't get the lead first, they are pretty much toast.
-
Buffalo the only team to make Tom Wilson look like Wayne Gretzky.
