The Sabres are one 13-game losing streak out of a playoff spot. That's all.

I would say Zucker is the right kind of player for that. We don't have enough Zuckers.

One Fractured Buffalo.

Thursday will be our severe weather day here in north Texas. Forecasts have called for anywhere from 3" to 8" of snow, possibly with freezing rain to start. How much rain, ice and snow we will get keeps fluctuating with each model run. Currently Weather.com says during the first part of the day it will only be below freezing from 7-9 am Thursday, but during that time we will get freezing rain. It's supposed to then change over to snow but the temps will be above freezing. Then later in the evening, back down to 26. Sounds pretty miserable. My hope is that by Friday afternoon it all melts.

@Spoonman laughed at this statement, but say for the sake of argument that instead of 0-10-3 over that stretch, they went 5-5-3. They'd have 10 more points and be tied with the Bruins for the final divisional spot and ahead of both WC teams.

The Sabres are basically one 13-game losing streak out of the playoffs.

They are what their record sez they are. Amazingly, they are only 3-1/2 games out of a wildcard spot. The whole bottom of the Eastern Conference is pretty meh.

NHL Network For the most part, the Caps were softer than us, in terms of gaps. Sabres actually had room to maneuver.

Huh. Win.

I thought for sure the Caps were gonna score a crappy one in OT.

Can you feel it coming again?

You felt it coming, didn't you?

I called it. Kinda.

We've seen that repeatedly this season.

well ***** Right?

Tuch shortie incoming....

I had a chocolate Scotch ale when I picked up tonight's pizza and man, that was good stuff.

...and there it is!
