That Aud Smell

i fu*k with this.

from the atrium?

Agreed on Pizza Plant being sort of a curious place -- my kids always called it "Pizza Planet" when they were young -- I think partially for the reasons you note above. The Syracuse brothers operate those restaurants -- they're damn good at what they do. Also, with regard to the downtown Buffalo Pizza Plant: Anyone (male) ever use the bathroom there? ... The gal whose poster-picture you see on your way out of the john is a legendary smoke show.

Got dammit. Yes, of course. I suffer here because, in my brain, I refer to him as Voldemort. Compare for yourself!

He did a fair amount of IRL stuff with people on this board, so I don't imagine he'd be put off by your reaching out. Pete whomst?

You and Jer White. whither @Eleven - he was dead serious about this

Agreed, agreed. We'll see, but I believe this is how it shakes out. Dude can effing SHOOT the sh1t out of the puck. A rare talent. He does need the right situation. It's been generations, and the Sabres are never the team that can provide that "right situation" for an incomplete player who does one thing (or maybe a few things) extremely well.

Ewww. Hmm. Seems possible? I have no memory of that, though. Fwiw, 2017 was a hellacious year for me.

The who now? Where’s that from? Tim Hortons? (I’m on a phone and can’t see so good.)

The obvious choice: Go back to that Blur song (?) from the goat head days. (WOO HOO!) But I can see Pegula Land trying to give us a Sabres Shout song. That would SUCK. Yeah - definitely not something Lindy needs to worry about. This is in Pete G’s wheelhouse.

i’ll have a listen. Not even kidding @Stoner that your idea on the kind of singer they should have is among your very best ideas (at least among the ones you’ve posted here). Best of luck to Ms Clune!!

Sidelines is an old school Buffalo bar-grill. My beer snob friends groan when we go because the beer selection is mostly out of the 90s. Fuggit. I like it in there. Have a good trip!! GO SABRES.

Uniform goal song this season - per Tooth.

Not a matronly Black diva, but I endorse the gal for having a strong Irish last name.

Just, please. Come out flying. No more of this long runs of equivocal, behind the play sh1t. I realize that sometimes the other team gets to carry the play. But, goddammit, show some spirit. Be confident. DO EEEET.

It’s obviously speculative to some degree, but there’s reasoning behind it. The fact that he walked off the field and required no attention are also consistent with him being an ox and a competitive freak. And it’s not every hard hit from the Ravens games that I have in mind — it’s the ones where you can see a whiplash effect and his head forcefully hitting, bouncing off the ground. I do hope he’s okay. Things get no easier with the Jets D. That’s a tough unit.

I noticed that. I'm not sure if that was just an inadvertent side effect of the pirated highlight posted to YouTube (it will be shut down in short order, I'd think). The replays that I recall from the broadcast showed the hit's and fall's full effects.

I was connoting a probability as in “more probable than not,” but you already know that. Demonstrably false. It was a powerful push with Allen in an unusually vulnerable position, resulting in a wicked neck whip as his head bounced off the ground. Far from an ordinary hit. There was at least one other bad one from that game, although I can’t find a clip of it.

to my eye, allen looked weirdly off against the texans - right from the hop. he missed easy reads. he made inaccurate throws. he reverted to a player who only knew how to take the big shots and didn't know how to manage a game when the game called for management.

theorizing that allen was concussed against baltimore is, in fact, not a big reach. it's not even a reach. imo, it's a probability.

The NFTA metro rail to University Station, and to an Uber or Lyft, is the move, as many have noted. Go, Sabres!!

Hear, hear. Good to see you here. I wish the team were more promising. Ffs. It's Game 3. Just gross. Is there some clever YouTuber out there who can show me how other teams are doing PP zone entry? If memory serves, the Sabres surrendered two SH breakaways when the Devils dispossessed Thompson and then Quinn.

What a joke that "protocol" was. I'm concerned for the guy. There's online chatter that he was probably concussed in the Baltimore game. If so, it could help explain why he was so off, so erratic from the get-go against the Texans.

Ironically, the dude from that Captain Phillips movie resembles post ayahuasca retreat rodgers.

This is a slightly dated summary of teams' records in the week following the midseason firing of an NFL head coach.
