Barnes and Noble is terrible at this. Makes me want to respond with..."I should have just purchased my books on Amazon and saved even more money than your stupid card offers".

This was supposed to be a complaint thread, not a commentary on my eating habits. :D

But wise old LB checked his bag after he pulled away and did a quick 180! They were just as miserable the 2nd time thru! :lol:

Stupid Wendy's. Not only do you F*** up my order at the drive thru, you don't say a single word(maybe you are a deaf mute),you take my money, hand me the screwed up order and look at me like you want to kill me.

Exactly! :thumbsup:

I expect Inky to come into this thread full of venom about "then" and "than". :D

All good and well, but it still doesn't mean the miserable behavior should be tolerated by management.

Complain about anything you want. 1 complaint, 20 complaints, who cares? No one is really listening anyways. My complaint for this week... Fast food workers who are miserable beyond belief while on the job. If you hate your job that much, do something about it to better yourself in life. Go back to school or do whatever is needed to find a better job. In the meantime, if you continue to stay in your current position, suck it up and put on a happy face. http://forums.sabrespace.com/public/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gifM

Here here!!! :worthy: :worthy: :worthy:

Both this board and the stadium wall crashed last night and the board was restored to the spring of last year. I'm not sure if the recent posts will be restored. After SDS gets some rest, maybe he can chime in with more info on this.

Game thoughts... -I think the Sabres had more body checks tonight then in any game this year. Like I said, it's all about attitude. -I thought Drury skated as well as I have seen him all year. He seemed to have an extra jump in his step. -Still too many giveaways. -Biron played well, but I don't feel Boston had a ton of point blank shots. -Vanek was invisible and the only times I noticed Max, he was acting like the old Max where he forgets that he was 4 teammates on the ice with him. -That was a great shot by Pominville. It is what I expect but don't see out of Kotalik much. GO SABRES!!!

Sabres win 5-3. :beer:

Game thoughts... -Solid 60 minute effort. Dominating in both zones. Very few good opportunities for Boston. -Crowd was into the game. Good to see the fans "alive" after a 3 game losing streak. -Briere is money...$$$$ -Paetsch as a 4th liner and extra dman(if needed) is a 100% better option than Peters in the lineup. Hopefully we will only see Peters for another 5 or 10 games from here on out. -Note to Kotalik...When you come down the wing with the puck can you change it up every now and then? I don't mind if he can get a hard shot off, but time after time, it's a lame ass wrist shot. How about carrying the puck into the corner and behind the net and attempting to make a pass from there? How about trying to drive to the net? He is a very frustrating player to watch. -Glad Tallinder is back. I didn't expect to see him back this fast. He does make a big difference. GO SABRES!!!!

If you define capable as paying a backup 2.2 mil for a 3.17 GAA and a .892 save percentage, then you are correct, we have a capable backup. <_<

I disagree. The safe play is always to move the puck up along the boards. This is what they are taught. If you want an answer to the problem, ask yourself where the right winger was on that play.

Two other thoughts until Tuesday... Do we have any player who can stay on their skates. I swear that every 30 seconds there is another Sabre laying on the ice. What exactly does this team work on in practice. I think it is time for Lindy to march into the shower room with a bunch of hockey sticks and go ballistic like the manager from Bull Durham. Bunch of lollygaggers. :thumbsup:

Darcy...Keep convincing yourself that this team is great and that you don't need to make any moves except for waiting(I mean praying) that Connolly comes back. Too many passengers again...Pominville, Roy, Drury, Max, Vanek, the 4th line and just when you thought good goaltending would steal you two points...Miller falls apart in the 3rd period. Very disappointing EFFORT once again. :thumbdown:

You're right. The Peters v. Shelley fight really lit a fire under the troops. <_< Peters can lose all the weight he wants, he still has no skills and is always 2 or 3 steps behind the play. He can't hit what he can't catch. If you really believe that Peters playing more is the difference between the Sabres winning and losing, think again.

Like I said, 5 out of 6 on the road coming out of the break and they better have their #%^$#! together.... Maybe tomorrow. :thumbdown:

I only watched some of the 1st and 2nd periods, but my favorite part was the interview with Edge from WWE. :lol: :lol: PS Rail Cam sucks. Somebody needs to take a sledge hammer to it. :thumbdown:

Skills competition. What a great production... -An electronic clock that doesn't work for the fastest skater competition, so they have to use a stop watch. -A camera angle from inside the net that was used repeatedly for the accuracy contest despite the fact that you couldn't see the targets from this angle. -Score kept going up and down during the final shootout..1 point, no 3 points, no 1 point. -Coming back from commercial only to find the next event already started. Note to Bettman...this isn't the NBA(where you came from). Drop the skills competition/young stars game and stick with 1 night for the all-star game. PS on the young stars game(and probably the allsar game tonight). It's okay if there is no hitting, but do you have to make a mockery of it by going half speed and just hang out at the other teams blue line. What a joke.

It was 4 on 2 what did you what from Kalinin and Teppo??

I lied. One more thing to say... Lindy had two rookies(McArther & Stafford) out there when the winning goal was scored. I guess you also didn't care much that the team battled back from a 3-0 deficit to get ZERO points out of the game.

Only one thing to say... Just horrible awareness on the Sabres part. They fight back to make it 3-3, they are only a few minutes away from getting at least one point and they give up a 4-2 rush which results in a goal. Get your friggin' heads in the game. :angry: Thank god for the all star break.

Game thoughts... -Your co-captains shouldn't be taking dumb penalties. Lead by example guys! -PP? There is not much left to say. Two shorthanded breakaways given up, one which ended up in the net. -Vancouver gift wrapped two points for the Sabres by resting Luongo and putting in some journeyman scrub. The Sabres almost blew the opportunity. -I thought Roy had another solid game. -1st period very good. 2nd period embarrassing. Last 10 minutes of the game very good. Is it just not possible for this team to play without having a LONG brain cramp during the game. -I was at the game and the crowd just wasn't in it, which was surprising for a Friday night. -The shootout is very exciting to me, but they have to eliminate the delay between OT and the start of the shootout. Get rid of the zamboni resurface and let the coaches fill out their slips in 1 minute or less. -The busload of "25 and under" people in the 100 level cheering for the Canucks were giving the security guards a handful. I would have been pissed if I was sitting behind or in front of them. Sabre fans need to reclaim the 4 sections directly behind the faceoff circles. This always seems to be where the busloads of Canadiens invade every time one of "their" teams come to town. -Hopefully that is the last time we will see "around the world". :angry: In summary....a win is a win. Despite playing a against a minor league goalie and a team that has been red hot, the Sabres found a way to win. I'll be very interested to see how they play tonight. I expect to see Biron in the nets.
