JFC what is with these refs?

Why do we need the National Anthems to last five hours?

Surely there'll be plenty of Habs fans there to fill up the arena as long as the border's open.

So you lose your stick, reach out and wrap your arms around the player exiting their zone and ... no call?

For all the talk of how much the players supposedly loved playing under RFK, they just look so much happier and enthused on the ice now.

Yep. A complete change to effective player development from drafting to game time is needed. Fundamental organizational changes.

There was definitely a glimmer. But the mental and physical sharpness just isn't there for a sixty-minute game. For an NHL team, that's a crime.

Every time you have the tiniest sense of hope. You think that maybe, just maybe, a corner has been turned or that there is just a possibility, they find new ways to just beat that little bit of hope to a pulpy mess.

Who is this team and what have you done with the Sabres?

Why do we bother to go EN? We can't score with an extra player, the PP proves that. So all we do is give up garbage goals to pad the stats of the opposing team and worsen our own.

I've lost count. Our powerplay is 0-fer what now?

It was time to stop lurking and start sharing in the group therapy.

Oh, 5-2. How I have missed you.

No enthusiasm whatsoever on this powerplay. They just don't care.

Good of the refs to show that it's business as usual after today's announcement.

Yeah, I actually feel a little heartened by that performance. Still have no idea where the next win is going to come from, but at least that looked a little bit like a hockey team and not just some dudes skating around with sticks.

You think Skinner's happy that RFK is gone?

Are they allowed to do that?

Probably all caps, since it's an acronym. Appropriate since this game's been all Caps, too.

I guess I'm some sort of spectre now, then ...

I said to my wife before the game started that it was cruel of the Sabres to force RJ to commentate on this shower. She goes "Eh, it's a night out for him and a treat for the rest of us."

I am trying to think of one positive thing for the Sabres from this game. I cannot come up with anything.

Fire Krueger into the sun. Please? Pretty please?

Sabres break ... three bearing down on the blue line ... and dump it in and change. Why?

This is criminal. Every single Sabre looks defeated. They have no idea how to stop the bleeding on the ice.
