Oh. FFS. Nice spacing.

LOSS.

[mjd1001]

This might be a tough one. Detroit is getting better. Sabres on the 2nd half of a back-to-back with travel. Detroit plays really well at home this year.  I expect a loss, but hopefully will be proven wrong...and at least expect to be entertained with some Sabres goals.

[nfreeman]

Last time they played Detroit was when they blew the 3-0 lead in the last few min and then lost in OT, innit?

Not tonight baby.  TNT gonna blow up everywhere.

And, to add to that belief, Dell is most likely in goal tonight, yes?

I know a lot of people will say this is a 'losers' mentality, but if they start Dell in net and lose, but it isn't a blow-out and it is entertaining with the Sabres putting in at least 3-4 goals, I'll be OK with that.  With this team I WANT them to win, but this season is not about W's and L's for me, it is about seeing progress I can be excited for and, quite simply, being entertained with goals.

it is a losers mentality...this franchise has lost so often that many here are now ok with it as long as you're entertained. That's so sad

[Zamboni]

 keep the good times rolling

 

Sabres … 4

Detroit … 3

 

Skinner, Girgensons, or Dahlin with a goal

Nope. There was no reason for snark. Just write a good subject line. I'd like to see a standard format, but at the very least bother to hit the space bar once in a while and separate numbers that aren't part of a set with something more than a space. So it doesn't look like the game is taking place in 20217 (at which time the Sabres will still be seeking a franchise goalie).

Why is this franchise in a ditch in the wilderness within a stone's throw of the end of the earth? I'd look first and foremost to this board's GDTs.

That is the problem with people like you...you are so quick to label something else as 'sad' if you don't agree with it.  You know what? Some of us watch sports to be ENTERTAINED, win or loss.  It isn't such a big part of our lives that we place labels on others (or their thoughts) like you just did.

So basically you are wrong. It isn't a 'losers mentality' that is 'sad'. What it is..it is the mentality of a fan that can appreciate the game for more than being just the black and white of the scoreboard and nothing more....who can appreciate the 'building of a team' and enjoy it.

I agree with all of what you said after the first comma...I'd say it's just being realistic that he's not as good as Toke.

Sorry, boss I slept late after being up at 07:00 to pray before sunrise and went back to sleep after that and got up at 10:30.

Should have started this puppy then and I would have figured out a way to stick in an accent someplace.
