Now the requisite game or two nice wins to draw us back in…  And then we all know what happens after that

Exactly

Is that 5D chess everyone accuses Kevyn of?

OK, I tried searching the thread ... where was Norris????? He is not on the stat sheet at all, but @Brawndo had him penciled in at 2C ...

Illness.  Announced just before game time.

Yep, watch 2 periods (if you can stomach it) then quietly get up and LEAVE! Imagine players coming back out from dressing room to empty arena. I think itd get management attention.

Let me guess, he sneezed so they threw him in with bubble boy.

15 years of no playoffs, do tell?

And that negates every win. Okay.

The sneeze was totally crazy though. Four sneezes in succession. It was intense!

Marty mentioned a challenge can only come from the NHL in the final minute of the third and overtime? 

Lol, yeah the league will come to our rescue. 😂 Overturn a McJesus goal in the final second?

[Doohickie]

I don't think Krebs is a first liner by any stretch of the imagination, but he injected some good energy into Tage's line tonight.

Why? He’s awesome.

I was meaning interference; in the last 10 seconds do whatever you need to eliminate McDavid. Hug tackle him if you have to

Lindy doesn't think the league reviewed it.

Tweaked something in warmups.  What's that, out for a month?

[Believer]

We played well until the dreaded last minute of regulation.

Took control in OT

Never gave up possession.

Team on a mission.

Tuch was a man on a mission

Bravo Sabres.

That’s it for me. Goodnight

Catch you all Thursday.

Season ending 

Tuch mentioned the OT Faceoff was a set play where McLeod put the puck in the corner for him to retrieve 

[Hawerchuk]

Man, this was the most frustrating win I’ve witnessed in a long time. The officiating was absolute garbage tonight!!

So they’re cool with a goalies leg being taken out after the starter is already gone due to a blatant running and head shot. Good to know. 

[PerreaultForever]

Well they almost blew it when Edmonton started going to the net in the 3rd but thankfully they can play 3 on 3. 

Doan deserves to be on a better hockey team.

Quinn deserves to stay on this dumpster fire for his whole career. He is the embodiment of everything wrong with the Sabres. 

Savoie ain't much. Edmonton isn't as good as last year. If they make the playoffs I doubt they go on another long cup run. 

I expect them to lose to Seattle. idk about Vancouver, they aren't very good either. Haven't watched them so not sure how they play.

Norris out of the lineup….again.

I heard he went to take a dump and pulled a stomach muscle.  Out indefinitely.

Me waking up seeing a sabres win 

[mjd1001]

I think the loss to Calgary 'broke me' for this season.

I watched last nights game (missed most of the first period but saw the rest)

Im happy they won, at least on the surface.

But when they scored the game winning goal, I had almost zero emotional reaction.  In my mind I could possibly muster a "yay" but it didn't feel like anything.

I'm going to rewatch the replay of the game today, like I usually do when I have time. But, its just like I felt the most 'anger'  this year with the team after the loss to the flames, and the most 'indifference' after a win last night.  I guess this is right about the time of the year per usual they get me to that point.

[LGR4GM]

So they didn't win in regulation? Ruff pretty mad at the reffing.

Lyon's leg was hooked/impeded by an Oiler just prior to the tying goal at 19:59 and he was out of position because of it.  But, y'know, that's legal if McJesus's team does it I guess.

[Weave]

What happened to Ellis?  Did I hear possible concussion?

[Archie Lee]

I enjoyed the game.  I still like the players. I don’t think they are a collection of losers. I think they have been collectively placed in a near impossible situation. So when they win a game and it is clear that they are getting to experience some joy and satisfaction, I like that. 

[RETURNTOGLORY]

All my years watching hockey, and the goal reversal call and the way it was an " after thought" was something I've never seen. That was a screw job!
