I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I didn't have to wait that long. It was decided by 7:30.

Ok Skinny, I was wrong to blame you for the woes of this club. Please come back and lead them to the promised land.

This could be the defining moment for this team. It’s time to step up and grow up.
that said, skinner is an albatross. He’s never been to the playoffs. As soon as he left Carolina, they made the playoffs.
I actually love the guy, but…ya gotta face facts.Let the win streak commence with the albatross of their necks. Hehehe...

I predicted in the Habs game thread he would break out, given how close he’s been and how that line is playing. I said in the AZ game thread my expectations were very low for a team win. So, I’m calling it now, Cozens will stay in his slump.

Interesting Granato statements here, pointing out Robinson's play to the team--that's how you F-ing do it.

I haven't seen the Coyotes play but I will assume like many teams with "lower" talent they will play a hard checking, fast paced game... something the Sabres do not handle well. I have low expectations for this game.
Their #1 goalie had shutouts against vegas and Caps during their 5 game winning streak. I’m with you on the expectations.

That wouldn't surprise me at all. Benson is a surprisingly good forechecker. Don't know if the line survives together when the injured players return, but all three of those guys are good
Specifically, Quinn’s return, since it was his spot. Either way, one of Quinn and Benson will need a line, which is a good problem to have.

I'm expecting Cozens to break out soon. The JJP, Benson, and Cozens line has been buzzin, and it's just a matter of time before Cozens luck turns--the time is now.

The line of Cozens, JJP, and Benson have been outstanding the past 2 games. Their fore-checking is creating a lot of chances.
I’m of the mind keeping Benson there might be better than adding Quinn when he’s back?
put Quinn with TNT and Greenway, keeping Mitts on the first line? -

I heard Bruin fans booing
I saw Sabres harass Marchand
I don’t fear Boston. We can pass these guys by.
One of my favorite things that tickled me watching some highlights was the Bruin chasing VO on his breakaway. Don't know if he was just completely gassed, or a big, slow D man. or both, but you could just sense the futility in his skating, then see it as he turns around after the goal. A close second, can't remember which goal now, but a few Sabres are celebrating in front of the net and you can see a woman in a Sabres jersey in the background stand up and grab her jersey showing her colors. Brief shot, but gave me a smile.

If these idiot D men would take a half tick to make the better play, that goal doesn’t happen. It’s maddening how unpoised our players are. Nothing but panic at critical times.
Yeah that was EJ too. He had an easy pass to someone near the wall and it was hurried, getting passed the Sabre and to a bruin at the blue line. Puck went down low again, and shortly after off EJ’s skate.
if the Sabres lose, it will be plays like that from the D.-

Debating whether to get a last minute ticket for the game. Prices are oddly reasonable. Maybe Bruins fans are bored seeing their team beat up bad teams. Playing the ticket price waiting game to see how low they'll go as puck drop gets closer.
They want to stay home and watch the Pats go for the #1 pick!
As for the Sabres, playing Boston on December 7th doesn't bode well.

Right now 6K is 12th in GAA and 10th in SV%, hopefully it continues throughout the year.
Just ahead of some guy named Ullmark with Boston.

People have mentioned that the Sabres didn't look good, especially the forwards. I think this is a direct result of playing an 11/7 lineup. When your linemates are constantly being changed, you lose that natural feel of knowing where to expect your linemate to be. That's my take on it anyway. The only forward that seems to do better playing with 11 Fs is Olofsson. He seems to put in a little more effort and backchecks better. Weird, huh?
That doesn't explain their behavior for much of the season. My sense is there is still too much individual rather than team play, and they too often don't play with purpose, despite what they publicly say. We saw a glimpse of how they could and should play in period 3 of the Jets' game.
Last night's win reminded me a lot of the first game against the Flyers, they got lucky against a team that dominated them most of the night. Then, in that second game of the back-to-back, I fully expected them to lose big, as there was no way they'd get lucky again the way the Flyers played.
I think the Sabres are in a rough spot right now, and if they don't start playing with purpose every night, then they will put themselves in quite a hole by the time TT and Quinn return.

I think that is not a fair observation. 2 of those goals towards the end he really had little chance on. The Sabres were not covering in front of their own net and got seriously defensively sloppy in the last 4. I think UPL did good and was pretty solid.
They also spent a good part of the period forcing passes to Skinner (whenever he was on the ice) trying to get him a hattie.

While the first tortillas were made out of corn, when the Spanish Conquistadors discovered and conquered the Aztec empire in central Mexico, news of this strange new bread spread quickly. It wasn’t long before wheat was brought over to the New World from Spain and the birth of flour tortillas happened. Flour tortillas are the most common and a are a favorite of many people today in Mexican restaurants all over the world.
As a purist: for a burrito or fajitas, yes; for a taco, no.
I do accept that flour can be a substitute when you can't find good corn tortillas that allow for a soft shell. In fact, it was near impossible to find good corn tortillas in WNY for a long, long time. When Lloyd's first started their taco truck, I asked where they got their corn tortillas from, and the guy said he couldn't (as in wouldn't) tell me, as the secret to great tacos is a warm, soft corn tortilla (it's why La Divina's are so good). Making a filling is the easy part.

I am flour tortillas only, I can't do corn...I try and I just don't like the taste of them. But yeah, if they don't know how to wrap the tortillas properly to keep them in a good state prior to eating or have the little round tortilla holder thingy that keeps them fresh and warm then it's probably not going to be a good experience.
woooo boy, you just lost all (Mexican food) credibility with that one!

Well, the next time I go to an "authentic Mexican" restaurant and get served Louisiana Hot Sauce like I am at Colosso Taco I will let you know. I doubt it will be anytime soon since I have probably eaten at over 100 Mexican Restaurants throughout the US and Gramma Mora's still holds that unique distinction.
When I first moved to Buffalo in the early 1990s, this and MT were the only game in town. GM's sauce tasted more italian than mexican. The one dish I've had there that is good are the chicken enchiladas with salsa verde.
For standard mexican fare, the easiest way for me to tell if their food as whole is good is their rice and beans. If you can't make decent rice and beans, how can you make the rest of it decent? The other indication for me is how good their mole is, or if they make it at all.

I could eat tacos from La Divina on Delaware 5 days a week.
