It's not a good look, that goal. The obvious concern is a goalie faking it. You could possibly prevent that by saying, OK the whistle goes, but you must be removed from the game for medical evaluation and miss at least x amount of time (5 game minutes? 10?).

He played after that. In fact he got booed whenever he touched the puck. He also got a crosscheck to the shoulder/neck off a center ice faceoff.

I hope Lindy is OK medically. He didn't look good after the game.

As an aside, those Av fans are pretty awesome. Afterwards Byram said how much he loved playing in front of them.

...those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Trade them all. Right now. Would anyone be mad if they did that and still missed the playoffs next year. Would anyone pine for the glory days of Dahlin and Thompson?

There's nothing stopping him from winning a Norris right now. And for the record, yes, if I never see that dude in a Sabres uniform again I'd be very happy.

I can defend my response. PR move that could work. It didn't. I didn't even end up using my opening night ticket. The sugar rush faded pretty fast. Overall there was a balance of opinions shaded toward skepticism. Are you bringing this up because you think there was some kind of consensus that it was a great hire. I don't like these gotcha maneuevers. How many Norrises does Ras have?

Marty explained the ruling. The puck emanated from the D zone; it doesn't matter who it hit from there. You don't get a vote. You support Nixon.

You pull for Samuelsson, but I don't see that play getting developed out of him or coached out of him. That's his hockey IQ.

That's what we need. A protest song.

Are you saying this is the lowest point in franchise history?

I wonder if someone has a job to monitor social media. And if the braintrust of the Sabres secretly smiles at seeing 571 posts for this game. They still care!

Again, what was Dahlin doing on the tying goal?

I have a man heading out to the stadium. Stay tuned.

Wtf is Duff's problem. Respect the fans FCS.

Cackle! Cackle!

And the suburban ***** goes home happy.

Dahlin.

Mayhaps Sean planted a palm seed deep inside KA? "Perception and reality are not always the same. Spend a day, spend a week in Buffalo. Get around the people. Get around the city. Get around the energy of our city. People that say that, in my opinion, haven't spent that time and really don't want to spend that time. To me, that's on them. What more could you ask for from a city that, football, to me, is important to the city of Buffalo. That's not the case in every city. People want to pump palm trees and this and that and weather and this and that — come to Buffalo, where football's important to the people," said McDermott. The year? 2019. Now you know... the rest of the story.

Excuse me. Do I seem like someone who has time to listen to that clip over and over? I'll be right back.

But he's recounting a comment from years ago?

Remember, only 16 teams make the playoffs.

They're all young and talented. Duh.

Yeah. That garbage shouldn't be linked here.

A GM should always think outside the box and use every option to build his team. It's counterintuitive to buy when you're DFL, but it's an opportunity. Alas we have the axis of evil TPKA.
