Samson's Flow

My thought is because the Winter has been relatively mild so far, there are a bunch of "unused" snow days for schools still available to use if they needed. Since this will be the last big snow storm of the year, it might not be so bad to be extra cautious and preemptively cancel schools. That way they don't have a PR nightmare for having students/people trapped on campus if it does get bad. Either that or Buffalo has turned into a bunch of giant pussies just like the south :nana: Taro beat me to it...

With a group our size, it would be best to get there a little before the usual crowd so we can get set up. Plus we wouldn't want to have to mingle with the hipsters down on Allen for too long before we get seated :nana:

I think the Northtowns folks were going to meet up somewhere on Main St. by the UB South Metro station (The Steer I think but I can't remember for certain) for pregame then take the train down to the game so as to avoid impaired driving and provide maximum festivities. I don't know of any other meetups that were arranged yet, but there is still time. Turns out I wasn't even close. Gabriels Gate a few hours before the game - say 4:30? - and then hop on the Metro. Gabriel's Gate 145 Allen St, Buffalo, NY 14201 It's only a 2 block walk or so to the Allen/Medical stop on the Metro, which is the last of the pay to ride stations before it comes above ground downtown. I knew we were riding the Metro, but as you will soon realize, don't rely on me for anything relating to memory... :doh:

Good perspective here boys. To me the rebuild/tank years started with trading away Pominville. After that we were clearly in selling mode and trading of Vanek, Stafford, Miller etc. followed that. The trade of Roy before that might have been an indicator, but that could be considered a "hockey trade" to get veteran toughness in Ott.

This hasn't happened yet? Darn... Maybe I should have rooted for a big loss on Saturday instead of being entertained at the arena. :unsure:

Saw the last two and agree. Have yet to see Moana but have heard great reviews from my adult friends.

Like the last 3 years lately. Loosely defined. :nana:

Da funk you talkin bout?

Exactly. I have little sympathy for the NYC/Boston area when it comes to snow accumulation. They flip a everytime they get more than a few inches, but don't seem to recognize that the rest of the region deals with snow "emergencies" on a regular basis. I know its a city and there is less space to put the stuff, but it isn't the apocalypse ffs.

Late to the party, but I had tickets to this game and went with a group of 8. Hit up the new Pizza Plant before hand, which was great for some calzone pod action. Place was jammed packed by 5/5:30. First period was awful (as I'm sure many of you mentioned since I didn't read the thread), but was redeemed by a nice Blue Jackets fan sitting next to me chatting hockey. Girl from our group (1st hockey game) was enthusiastic enough to get on the jumbotron, which was... fun? Second an Third period was like watching a whole different team, whether it was replacing Nillson with Lehner, or all the scrappy play and fighting, but they looked alive and was a highly entertaining game. We all went into the game with the same attitude as the GDT "meh" since they are basically out of the playoff hunt and the Blue jackets are playing very well lately. Surprisingly entertained throughout the day. The Columbus fan next to me was really looking for a penalty there, saying you always need to be in control of your stick (which is true); but I did point out that the ref appropriately swallowed his whistle when the cross check from behind is what caused the high stick. Good no call on offsetting penalties if you ask me. I was very surprised to see him at all, given his recent altercation with the minor league youth team. I would think the Sabres PR would want nothing to do with him, but instead they parade him out there like nothing happened. I have major concerns with Bills/Sabres PR & Communications departments lately.

The first step is admitting you (we) have a problem.

Just because the power is out doesn't mean you can't get turned on :wub:

i lost a good sized 3'x6' section of shingles on my roof yesterday. I've got plenty of to do around the house nature, I don't need you effing it up some more and giving me another project to work on. :doh:

Do you always blow your load right at the start? How about a little foreplay to build the anticipation?!?

I'm in :thumbsup: We should set up a specific time in a period to start, since we will be spread out a bit.

Is 'Avia' intended to be pronounced "ah-ve-AH" or "ah-VEE-ah"? I like the name, just can't wrap my simple brain around pronunciation. :doh:

I don't remember the last time we played the Coyotes. They are a really bad team so this should be an easy two points. Plus we are the well rested team so we should be able to jump ahead in the first and hold the lead from there. If we want to get in the playoffs we need to win these games against lesser opponents like the Avalanche and Coyotes of the NHL. /broken record. :bag:

Nicely done. (Damn gifs aren't working anymore :( )

Not for nothing, but I'd play for $3k a game. I'm not good, but i'd do it. that's a cool $257K per season :beer:

Savage. The hate is strong with this one.

And Joe Sakic.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm still so jazzed up about this trade that I didn't even notice that we did nothing today. This trade is really going to make a difference this year and beyond.

You're not wrong...

Like his hippie parents just didn't know how to spell?!

Give me back my Filet-o-Fish, give me that fish!!
