kishoph Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Who is off to watch the game? MLK day, there are a lot of people off today, but still that is pretty odd scheduling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsixspd Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) Didn't even realize it was a 1 pm game. Usually just Govt and schools and banks have the day off. Slackers! Most of the Private sector needs to keep up the push to put food on the table and pay the bills. The business of business in America is business!

pastajoe Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Syracuse Crunch also have a 1pm game today. How do white people celebrate MLK day? By going to a hockey game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Everyone should have the day off Here, here!!

The Dominator Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Stuck at work today even though my job involves doing business with financial institutions. It's about to be a slowww day. At least I can keep an eye on the game thread for updates to the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrico Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 I set up to record the game and I'll watch it tonight. It's nothing but insufferable leaf talk here so should have no problems avoiding hearing the score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunomatic Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 It'll be good to take a break from this one. No MLK day for us. If ever there was a holiday that should straddle borders its this one. In any event, GO SABRES ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Office is closed but that won't stop me from working. But at least I can watch the game while I do! Dallas's goaltending is hot garbage. The Sabres ought to be able to score in bunches today. If not, I am renewing my participation in the Fire Bylsma thread.

Winston Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Afternoon game on MLK Day got me thinking about black NHL players across the league. Did a little research (aka went to wikipedia and copied some things to a spreadsheet) to discover the following: -25 black players have made an appearance with an NHL club this year.-For those that have the day off, you don't deserve to do any math.. Let me do it for you! That's less than 1 per team (0.83 to be precise). -11 teams haven't had a black player appear in a game this year-Despite the league trend, Sabres have had four (Okposo, Kane, Bailey, Baptiste). That's about 5 times the league average. Nothing profound, but interesting nonetheless. As football participation declines, I hope we see more and more young black athletes lace up the skates. It would be great for the game. And it would be particularly good for the US in terms of closing the gap on Canada. Here's a full breakdown if you're curious: Anaheim Ducks- 0 Arizona Coyotes- 1 Boston Bruins- 1 Buffalo Sabres- 4 Calgary Flames- 1 Carolina Hurricanes- 0 Chicago Blackhawks- 0 Colorado Avalanche- 1 Columbus Blue Jackets- 1 Dallas Stars- 2 Detroit Red Wings- 0 Edmonton Oilers- 2 Florida Panthers- 0 Los Angeles Kings- 0 Minnesota Wild- 1 Montreal Canadiens- 0 Nashville Predators- 1 New Jersey Devils- 1 New York Islanders- 1 New York Rangers- 0 Ottawa Senators- 0 Philadelphia Flyers- 2 Pittsburgh Penguins- 1 San Jose Sharks- 1 St. Louis Blues- 1 Tampa Bay Lightning- 1 Toronto Maple Leafs- 0 Vancouver Canucks- 1 Washington Capitals- 0 Winnipeg Jets- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 DLo was taking face offs at the end of that preview video.. I cringed. I hope COR is up to center the 4th line. If it isn't Zemgus, then he's my pick. Get DLo to the press box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
