A good goalie away from a decent team.

Quality Dub!

Boy would a Cozens empty netter for the Hattie be sweet…

Didn't the season just start, and aren't we really young? Is this tenacious, up-tempo style unsustainable? Or are they not in condition? I'm not actually watching the game by the way.

Good win. We're on to Arizona.

We're certainly not very good at tanking!😉

Let’s go Buffalo! Honest effort and progress are all we ask!

Owns…owns….

Smoke up, Johnny!

I guess I fret (and have higher expectations) about things I have control over. Not saying that's right, just what I've learned over my 54 years on Earth. I can piss and moan all I want to about the Bills and Sabres, but it doesn't change anything. To each his own, I guess. Go Sabres!

My feelings about the hire, and the Sabres in general, is pretty well summarized by this quote from Charlie Munger, who is Warren Buffett's 97-year old partner at Berkshire Hathaway (and a really bright guy): "The secret to happiness is to lower your expectations. ...that is what you compare your experience with. If your expectations and standards are very high and only allow yourself to be happy when things are exquisite, you'll never be happy and grateful. There will always be some flaw. But compare your experience with lower expectations, especially something not as good, and you'll find much in your experience of the world to love, cherish and enjoy, every single moment."

Loved watching him and the French Connection as a kid. I always thought he had a cool name. RIP.

TSN guys at the tournament just now already talking about Power as a Sabre as almost a foregone conclusion.

Yeah, I know, but what part of Eichel's year-end comments sounded like a guy "who wants to be here"? Isn't that the basic standard the organization is operating under now?

I'm not following it very closely at all, but the cynic in me feels like Jack doesn't want to be here anymore, and is trying to figure out how to shoot his way out of town without looking like the bad guy. And his obviously legit injury is his vehicle for doing so.

Anyone see our old friend Curtis Lazar get launched over the boards into the bench by Tom Wilson? What a hit.

Watching TB-FL right now, and caught bits of VGK-Wild and Isles-Pens earlier. Boy, I just can't picture the Sabres playing this physical brand of playoff hockey as currently constituted. Is there a whole line that would be out there mixing it up in front of the net, face-washing guys? I want names. We are soooooo far away from this.

Terry and Kim, if you’re out there lurking, and to the guys in the FO, behind the bench, and on the roster, remember what the great Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys once said: “Beware the lollipop of mediocrity; lick it once and you’ll suck forever.” Go Sabres!!!

After much reflection, my only other comment is... GO BILLS!

Aren't we looking for some consistency? 😉

Should they do one of those things like when a position player pitches in a blowout baseball game? Just for yuks.

So what "string" is tonight's backup? Would he be a new NHL record?

Caligula!

Sounds like I missed a good one last night.
