Definitely catches him high with his stick and glove. Maybe not a suspension worthy hit, but deserved a penalty. But the worst part about this pic, looks like more Avs fans in the crowd.

Puck luck.....something else the Sabres lack ?

Nelson should be embarrassed. I thought he was one of the tougher guys we had after Bogo. He's just another snowflake apparently. So much to be desired on this team still.

Meh, I don't see them winning more than 4 games rest of the way. They might eek out 10 more points.

That's an AHL lineup minus Skinner and Reino.

So far this call-up looks good for Rochester, leading 3-0 after the first

Granted I don't nearly eat them as much as I did back in my twenties, but I still need to get a plate at least once or twice a year. The fact that I don't drink like I did back in my twenties may have some correalation to that.

Yeah, the one on W. Main closes at 8 I think. But I believe Stevie T's (the old Nick's #2 on Lyell ave in Gates) is still open 24/7. I haven't been out there in 10-15 years though. If you're like me and have no problem with a copycat version there are multiple other greasy joints that are open til 3 or 4 a.m. still.

Musta been when I took my hiatus from SS, otherwise I woulda definitely joined in.

Yes they did outhit them and I hate this stat. You can bump into an opposing player on the way to the bench and you'll be credited with a hit. It's a very misleading stat. Sabres had maybe 10-12 hits that were truly hits. Either way, this team cant play both styles with the lineup they have. No "tweeners" on this team.

Skinner and Reinhart both responded pretty well when Colorado tried to get rough. Nelson on the other hand responded to the hit on Jack like Preston Brown did to Gronk after dropping his elbow on the back of Tre White's head. Nothing! It was pretty pathetic on his part.

Can't this just be merged with game day threads? Oops, my bad, I thought you meant comical.

Botts hasn't done them any favors by not replacing any of the toughness he traded away. When the top line guys are saying the team isn't physical enough, that is a JBott problem.

Amen brother, we are paddling the same canoe

They don't want anyone to see them crying. They are fragile enough without having reporters laughing at them

I think she has the Bills and he has the Sabres. Either way, neither know wtf they are doing, but I think the Bills are run better (better advisors).

I think you guys should move this to an Amerks game next year. Much cheaper and you might even get to see an entertaining, winning hockey team as well. And as an added bonus, garbage plates after the game. You Def don't want them before ?

Only problem is a lot of those empty seats are usually bought up from the opposing teams fans. That in of itself should send a message to Terry, but apparently he doesn't give a flying **** as long as someone's ass is in the seat. Hockey heaven my balls, it's only about the benjamins for him.

Maybe I'll give them a pass for this effort today, I mean it was less than 36 hours ago the news broke that the trade for Antonio Brown fell through.

No way, leave the Rochester guys alone and let them continue to play winning hockey. Let these lazy ***** finish out the season and keep embarrassing themselves, they deserve every ounce of it.

I liked our response after the hit on Eichel He's been coasting ever since Zadorov pasted him

Hey guys hurry up and maybe we can stop by the Buckhorn Exchange for another one of those awesome Bison burgers before heading to the airport. Yup. I would leave his arse in Denver. Let one of the assistants or even Rayzor finish out the season, lol

I think we can stop asking this until at least after game 82. And I'm afraid he will still be here for game 1 next season. JBots doesn't want to admit another one of his gaffes yet.

Wow, watching Sabres hockey is so bad it's making people leave bars now. Incredible.

Skinner prolly won't be re-signed now, he is not playing Sabres hockey. He is actually standing up for his teammates this afternoon.
