Has anyone ever wheeled after someone shouts, "WHEEL!"?

I feel bad for dark.

Rick rarely editorializes, but he's starting to slip some digs in. I can't blame him. This hockey has to be a personal affront to him.

Bryson looks bad there, but it doesn't happen if Risto can handle a clever pass from him.

Hank's remembered as a laughingstock, but he's credited with being the co-inventor of the 3-4 defense (or at least the inventor of a variation of it). Sounds like he was in over his head as a head coach. He just died at the end of 2019 at age 85.

Yeah, but we're still talkin' about 'im!

Well that's gonna take some sail out of their winds.

Nice jinx, PTR!

After shanking several shots, Kyle put a deep fried turduken past Halak.

LOQUACIOUS triple word score. Surprising indeed.

Just with Buffalo coming on, here's the high stick on Buffalo. Funny how that works.

Not to go all PTR here, but it would be nice if the Sabres' D would stop trying to kill Hutton.

"A relatively weak shot from Staal."

On Thanksgiving, a wounded duck!

HA! OK

All dogs, and all Sabres fans watching this, go to heaven.

You can't teach that.

This is ugly.

Okposo fairways hit: 0

They always show the goalie after he gives up a goal. I'd like to see him after his team scores.

lol

This is tantalizing. May it be. I tend to believe it's the opposite. Terry has described himself as a football guy. "People think of me as a hockey guy. There just happened to be a hockey team for sale." Pretty close paraphrase. Terry was and maybe still is a power player in PSU football. He lobbied at Pitt for one of the Nittany Lion assistants to get the head coaching job there. He says he's scouted high school players. He could be a little more hands on with the Bills than people know, and it might not be hurting them. Was he all in on Josh Allen? Good call. Hockey? Meh. Not so much. He's a casual fan who, in my opinion, gave up on the Sabres a long time ago, probably when the business moved closer to Pittsburgh and he gave up season tickets. Not knowing the Sabres were in bankruptcy and for sale in 2002 is the smoking gun. With the Sabres, he's been playing fantasy owner and swinging his balls around like he knows what he's doing. His level of involvement represents less care and passion for the team, and not the opposite. Why did he buy them? The most logical answer is that it was prelude to getting the Bills.

This is played out and no longer pleasant message board conversation.

Careful now. And have we also arrived at the answer for why hockey analytics is rubbish?

That's a good one. It's on the micro side though.
