You're right, certainly subjective. If you only watch one team regularly (not saying you do), it's hard to discern how that team's average effort level compares to other teams' average effort level. Living where I do, I see a lot of Bruins games, and it seems they are more consistent in their level of effort on a nightly basis. But they're on a 4-game skid, so... And I also find it difficult to determine how much is due to effort vs. talent.

What I need to see: 1. Consistency of effort. Every team throws up a stinker every now and then, but it needs to be once every 10-12 games, not once every four. 2. Commitment by upper management to improve the team. Make hard decisions about goalie, top 6 winger, etc. 3. Toughness/grit - you cannot get pushed around and be successful over the long run in the NHL. Especially come playoff time when the whistles get swallowed.

Seeing Gil Perreault play at my first Sabres game when I was probably 8 (1974ish) Sitting in the nosebleeds for a Braves game, and fearing that I would stumble on my way down the steep stairs and fall to my death on the court. Rush and Eric Clapton concerts in 1982.

Quality win.

Colin Miller?

If the Sabres win, who ya got?

He could have walked in 15 feet and shot!

Nope. Hadn't seen that. Kinda what I was talking about.

The kids call that having "un-swag swag". Personally I think he should go brush-cut or a high-top fade. Anything but that disaster he's sporting now.

Who is this team, and what have they done with the Sabres?!?!

As soft and sweet as cotton candy. No grit.

A starving man will eat a sh*t sandwich, I guess.

I like Jack FTW.

OT. Name the hero.

We’re down 5-1 and we’re loaded on defense?

He got wrapped up in TP as a mummy for Halloween yesterday. Thanks for the welcome. Long time Sabres fan for the better part of my 53+ years on this fine planet. Big Gil Perreault fan from way back. Go Sabres!

Is Jack still wrapped up in toilet paper from his Best Buddies engagement?
