I started off 2-0, lost 7 in a row, then won last 6 regular season games, and the 2 playoff games. Definitely a roller coaster ride to the championship. 😊

Steve Bernier? Had a memorable debut as a Sabre with 2 goals and an assist, had a cup of coffee, and then he was gone.

Al Smith, who pulled an Antonio Brown way before Antonio was even born.

Speaking of which, weren't the "veins veins veins" ads around the same time, or was it in arena advertising?

I know this year there were 2 first time teams in the playoffs, but what difference does it make when they both got destroyed in the semi-finals. Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, and sprinkle in another SEC team from time to time. Rinse and repeat. Something has to be done to help with competitive balance at the top of the rankings. What that is, I don't have an answer.

Local ad, but very puzzling. Russ Salvatore runs an upscale restaurant, but has the most idiotic spots that don’t go hand in hand with Russell’s at all.

Don’t ad agencies run these commercials through focus groups prior to airing? Makes you wonder how some end up on the air.

I agree most of the insurance company ad campaigns are lame, but I always found the Allstate “Mayhem” commercials pretty funny.

I couldn’t figure out if she was walking like an idiot on purpose, and was wondering if there was a joke I was missing. 😂

Much much better than Flo & Co.

The Toyota ads with “Jan” are also annoying and overplayed.

I will start with the one at the top of my list… Progressive - Flo and Co. What say you?

I believe the Brian McCutcheon who was on the team, is the same person who coached under Lindy. Too bad during his time here, that a story was never written about his time in Europe. Also on the team, Nelson Pyatt, father of Taylor Pyatt. Team roster w/stats… https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues/seasons/teams/0011211974.html

Great article from January that I stumbled across earlier. https://theathletic.com/2325623/2021/01/29/buses-brawls-and-babies-when-the-barnstorming-london-lions-took-slap-shot-to-europe/

As a huge fan of the movie, thanks for bringing this out if storage. Fantastic!

Merry Christmas to all. Safe travels during the holiday season.

Why would the Sabres not let JJP play in the WJC…unless they left the decision up to him and he said no? Enquiring minds want to know?

Some days I want the Pegula’s to sell the Sabres ASAP. Other days, I worry about what might be behind Curtain #2.

Covid sucks. Cancer sucks. 😡

Happy Festivus! Airing of grievances?You are in the right place. 😂

😞😞😞

Assuming there are games played. 🤞

I lost my Dad a year ago last month to Covid. I really wish he had the chance to get the vaccine. 😢

WNY’er, Andrew Poturalski, who has been toiling in the AHL for 6 years, gets a chance because of Covid, and picked up points in the last two Canes games. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=144489
