GDT- Buffalo Sabres @ Detriot Redwings, 11/15 7pm ESPN

[Doohickie]

So just watched the highlights.  Happy to see the Sabres pulled out a win.  I was at a play with my wife (who is a Red Wings fan).  I checked before the play started and the Wings were up 4-1 so I gave up on the game and enjoyed the play.  At the end of the intermission, I got back from the restroom and my wife said, "DON'T GLOAT."  I had no idea what she was talking about so I checked the score.... nice surprise.

The play we saw was & Juliet.  It reimagined would have happened if she hadn't killed herself at the end of the play.  It was very "meta"; William Shakespeare was one of the characters.  The play broke the fourth wall a lot and Shakespeare even became a character in his own play.  Hard to follow at first but once it got going and I understood how surreal it was going to be, I enjoyed it a lot.

The play was in Bass Hall in Fort Worth, a gorgeous theater.

You don’t think 8th seed ends up around 94/95 where it’s currently at? Frankly it IS pretty likely the sabres need to play at the pace suggested to make it 

Oh well I don't think they have any hope of making it. There are more teams in the mix currently than expected before the season started. Before the season started we thought they'd be competing with Detroit, Ottawa. Montreal, maybe the Rags, Tampa or Columbus for a wild card. Teams like Boston and Pittsburgh were being counted out and in the McKenna sweepstakes. But look at the standings. You have to get ahead of the expected playoff teams like Florida, Toronto and Washington just to get back in the conversation and then you still need several others to fall. 

Did you see any of that Boston Montreal game? That was vintage Bruins Habs rivalry stuff and Sabres are nowhere near the level of intensity either of those teams brought. It was almost playoff hockey. 

Sabres could go on a 10 game win streak and still be on the outside.

Yeah, I checked and it was 4-2.   I figured it would be the typical 3rd period where Detroit would make it 5-2 and then get the typical empty net goal.

I just re-watched the winning goal.  The Sabres had 1 forward (Thompson) and two defensemen (Muel and Dahlin) on the ice when they scored.  Almost looks like a flubbed change.
