Glad we can counter with our own bs goal

This :bag:

Glad to hear I'm not the only one frustrated with the lobsided calls tonight

The interference is brutal. I know it's not 2006, but it certainly shouldn't be the 70's either

He certainly looks like a good starter last game (Ottawa) and tonight (NJ). Something has clicked with him the last week or so

Call a fukcin penalty. Damn. They held Eichel on the rush and buried Gionta without the puck Yeah but is he a starter? :Nana:

I think they are on Sabres.com - they mention they are online when they show each episode in the 1st intermission. I don't think you can watch ahead of the latest one they showed "live".

The Hartford Whaler logo was one of the best most elegant wordmark logo there was. One of the primary benefits of bringing that team back is the sweet "HW" whale tail logo.

Sabres -100 Devils -120 Get to it young'ns I'll put 2 units ($200) on the Sabres tonight. Win or die trying.

Don't get me wrong, I am way more excited seeing my bag with the new clubs in it. It's like being a kid on Christmas again every time I load them into the trunk :w00t:

I'm currently a 15 handicap and had similar thoughts last year. Prior to the winter of 2015 my clubs had been Tommy Armour Silver Scot 755's that were hand me downs from my dad that I played with from when I was just starting until then. Winter 2015 came around and I thought in order to finally commit to getting my handicap to single digits I need to upgrade my irons (flawed logic but w/e), so I picked up some lightly used AP2 712's after days of research. I can definitely tell they are better clubs and saw glimpses of improvement, but it also highlighted some flaws and inconsistencies in my swing. Long story short, there is no magic equipment fix and the only way to get better is to practice and improve your swing.

I did that a lot last year since my new work location was a 2 minute drive to my local golf course. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to matter how new or expensive your clubs are, you are still limited by the guy swinging them. :bag:

I don't have any issue with the intent of your post, but just a clarification for context... Players on $5MM + contracts should not have the expectation of 30 goals, in fact last year here is the list of 30 goal scorers: Ovechkin 50, P Kane 46, J Benn 41, V Tarasenko 40, Pavelski 38, Marchand 37, Crosby 36, Stamkos 36, Perry 34, Spezza 33, Tavares 33, Seguin 33, Forsberg 33, Bergeron 32, Simmonds 32, Neal 31, Saad 31, Toffoli 31, Eriksson 30, Pacioretty 30, Duchene 30, Palmieri 30, Henrique 30, Galchenyuk 30, Jenner 30, Kucherov 30, Gaudreau 30, Panarin 30. That's 28 total, or less than 1 per team, and most of them barely made the 30 goal mark. Furthermore, of these guys nearly half of them were below 60 points total. Basically the contracts are getting larger and larger and the scoring is more difficult. For reference, the top Sabres goal scorer last year was Jack Eichel with 24 and Samson Reinhart with 23. I don't know why you would hold Kane to a 30 goal standard when our best players are mid 20's.

Winner - up to $265. "Ah Ah Ah Ah Stayin' Alive, Stayin' Alive" As someone who is barely hanging on by a thread, I have no problem with a bank boost. TBH, I don't even know who is left in this thing. I only see MattPie, Taro, SwampD and Woody with recent activity/balances left. Maybe we need a quick 'roll-call' to see who has what. :unsure:

This thread fell all the way to page 2 Rangers -140 Sabres +120 I'll put my last bet on the Rangers tonight. If I lose I'm out.

If nothing else that is a vivid visual there. :o

I'm always weary of attaching too much hope on prospects to make an impact and change our play style. It is very rare that any of these young guys that we pin our hopes too even make the NHL, yet alone make an impact. I know we have been tank and prospect focused for a long time around here, but successful franchises don't rely on young players and prospects to change the direction of the franchise.

Cool. That may help our out of town friends catch the games if they know a family member or friend in the market area that is willing to Netflix-style share their login credentials. :thumbsup: Oh... booo!! :wallbash:

#bedroom antics :bag:

How many Islanders fans are going to head all the way up to the Prudential Center in NJ to watch their orphan team? That would be devastating financially for the franchise, which is clearly when team owners take notice and look to relocation.

Good point and perspective. On your last sentence, I certainly hope we don't have to wait a full year to accomplish each one of those. I can't wait until 2021 to win a trophy...

Fedun and Falk have been a nice surprise. Unfortunately to see enough of them to be a surprise we also have to endure very poor/injury riddled seasons from Kulikov, Bogosian and Franson. :sick:

Pretty sad when we are pointing to Fedun (a plug in from the AHL with no development prospects) as a savior for our other fill in bottom pairing defense man. We need to improve our blueline ffs.

Me too! Exciting times around here.

Allez-vous Buffalo! (from memory - yay HS French class)
