Welp, we're 2-2-1 in the preseason. With the two big wins over the high-and-mighty Hurricanes and Capitals, with each team only benching some of their game-changing players. We finished the 2013 preseason at 4-2-1 and look how well that turned out. Might as well write the whole season off as a winner. It's nice to see the win at home. And it's nice to see the kids develop and play well. But it's ultimately meaningless as a predictor of the regular season. Keep your helmets on. I fully expect this. He will cut the nuts off of this roster if it goes above .500. Stewart, Stafford, Mitchell, Kaleta, Meszaros, Benoit, Neuvirth, and Enroth are all in their last year of their contracts. How many of these players does he reckon are untouchable components of the next Sabres era? At any point this season, in a period of about 8 hours, he could shred this team. And he would be lauded for it, because it helped to maximize either the next draft or the next team.

NO YOU GET OVER IT.

Maybe there are situations where: 1) The puck is loose and is knocked over the goal line. 2) The ref blows the whistle because he loses sight of it. 3) The ref calls no-goal because he thought the puck crossed after the whistle blew. 4) Video review couldn't overturn/give guidance on that call previously (I don't think), but with the change, maybe now they can? No idea. Where's Brenda Shanaban video with the boring rule explanation? Where's the Kerry Frasier blog entry?

It's on NHL Network.

Is it me, or does that open the door of players playing past the whistle? Seems like it opens a gray area of where the whistle has blown the play dead because the ref loses sight of the puck, but the puck can still cross the goal line and score based on video review. I thought we wanted the halt of play to be solely dictated by the whistle. Am I interpreting this wrong?

I don't want to say ahtodaso, but I ######in' ahtodaso.

I am Head Coach Nolan, your senior drill instructor. From now on you will speak only when spoken to, and the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be “Sir”. Do you maggots understand that? If you ladies leave my arena, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human ###### beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian ######! Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here. Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Tank Corps. Do you maggots understand that?

Even if we're losing on the field, it'll still be one hell of a party, because we'll be winning at life.

Yeah, I'm not sure there's anyone that isn't looking forward to that atmosphere on Sunday. I think the whole place is going to burn down. I just hope they capture some of that on the TEEvee.

By the way, feel free to celebrate the new ownership in this thread. PA doesn't post in this thread and it's possible he doesn't read it. The other thread has turn into the usual shitshow.

ITT: a massive ###### waste of time trying to teach or reason with someone who will conveniently forget whenever they want to form a contrarian opinion.

Toronto can schedule a Sunday afternoon Bon Jovi concert at The Ex instead.

Bob Suter pass away from a heart attack at age 57.

I know this. I'm perpetuating the legend/joke. If we're going to be treated like a viking barbarian horde, we should (continue to) laugh at them and play it up. Definitely this.

Don't spoil his fantasy. We're all blowing Terry Pegula because he's going to our meddle our way to four straight Superbowl victories. But even if they do win, he won't watch them. Despite it being the reason he watches.

If I ever go to a Sabres-Canes game in Raleigh and the parking lot isn't a total post-apocalyptic Lord of the Flies, wherein a Sabres fan is chieftain and some Canes fan has been physically crushed by a large object, I'mma be pretty disappointed.

I'm so, so sorry for you, PA. It must be hell to try to watch Buffalo sports when the reason you watch a team is because they win. Only being capable of deriving enjoyment from a victory and not the entertaining spectator-ship of competitive sport must lead to some awful life situations. I can only imagine the sadness you feel when you let a child beat you at a board game, knowing that you would've only enjoyed the victory. And it makes sense that you're a Bruins fan. They tied for first in the league with number of wins. My heart goes out to you for the 19 losses and 9 overtime losses you had to endure. I hope and pray for you and your family that modern medical science will one day be able to diagnose and develop a cure for this tragic ailment, what doctors currently can only refer to as a scorching case of bandwagonitis.

Forget winning for a moment. That's temporary. The Sabres franchise, as a professional sports franchise existing in a rust belt city, is more stable than it has been, maybe in history of the franchise. The Buffalo Bills, a professional sports franchise that is as much ingrained in this community as the Sabres, if not moreso, was, upon the passing of Ralph Wilson, probably the most unstable franchise in the NFL and probably the most likely to be moved. For fans of professional sports that live in Western New York, having access to professional sports teams is a factor in the quality of their lives. Professional sports franchises also serve as an economic engine for the region. Terry Pegula has just stabilized an important part of the community, the future of which just yesterday, was seriously in doubt. So feel free to watch while I, and other Bills fans, celebrate and show some gratitude. And if in your mind that looks like ######, then also feel free to ###### while watching.

Fix the ###### profanity filter.

I think I'm holding out for PS5. PS3+PC does everything I need for now.

I, for one, would like to share the following. WOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAHHHHHHHHHHH http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kwhUhLp5U0

He ransoms the babies, and then when the hostage exchange meeting occurs, in a brutal act of betrayal, he beheads the Raleigh mayor and his lieutenants, kills all the babies, and then forcefully takes all of the women away to the makeshift rapery in the parking lot, which I'm guessing is a van protected by free giveaway pint glasses.
