Anybody have any spare lye?

Some things have to go wrong (three losses out west, probably one of them in galling fashion) and some right: Terry has to be fed up with it and have someone good waiting in the wings. I don't see him promoting from within. Very, very unlikely but everything is plattered up for it, including days off before the first game back (hockey law requires me to say that first game back is tough!).

Just a figure of speech or is there friendship at play? I've never heard of it. What indication would there be?

It's the first home game after the West Coast trip. They have three days off before the game. Well, will he?

I can't say it out loud tho.

Narrator: The Sabres are bottom feeders.

It's dumb to say any team should win a game. Let alone the Buffalo Sabres. A 5-0 win wouldn't surprise you. Nor would a 5-0 loss. There's the logic.

I eye roll dumb ***** as a policy.

For those who adhere to the Bowmanian scheme of 10 game segments: The Sabres pulled nine points in the first segment. Not nearly enough. Twelve would do. They are 4-3 in the second segment. Three more wins would give them the most points in a segment since 22-23 and put them a relief pitcher's ***** hair below a playoff pace (94 ish points when you probably need 96 ish to be safe). Three losses and it's a disaster (69ish point pace). This team has struggled the last calendar year plus a month to get out of its comfort zone. Segment totals: 10, 10, 7, 11, 10, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8*. This is a delicate point in the journey back to Stanleyland.

First kick at the can... 2011 to 2020. Second kick 2020 to ??? Now who would start their second kick at the can by hiring unqualified, loyalist toadies?

So however you usually watch the game still works? I thought exclusively on ESPN or Hulu meant just that... you have to have one or the other.

How is it out there?

I saw them at the 87 Lilac Festival in Roch. Too bad about Art. They were never the same after that.

See, I don't see a stache.

That's Don Luce or I'm John Gurtler's love child.

Celebrate... celebrate... THE tradition! @Taro T

He was from Rear Balls Creek, NS.

That's fair.

It's a reminder there's flesh and blood behind the posting handle and the message board persona. RIP to the fan who gave us lots of funny and sharp takes in a few short years.

I rushed through the last two seasons to see how the Sabres have fared when playing the day after a Bills game. I have them at 2-5, tho I have a low level of confidence in my work. At this point it's a hypothesis. The Sabres struggle when playing the day after a Bills game. Does anyone want to grab the baton from me? We could go back any number of years.

I asked earlier what about Buffalo General, where Rick went when he had throat cancer. Do you not find this infomercial for Roswell to be unseemly? Recognize all cancer providers in the community.

Duffer cackles while winning some ticky tack argument with Marty about an Islander's age. Just. Atrocious.

Let the cackling begin.

Cheer up. There's plenty more cancer talk coming up!
