I say keep the fish away from the candy! That solves yer problem right der.

I'd have the Sabres logo up there during play and 10 seconds before every faceoff. Make the people look at the ice.

Nothing on that list bothered me.

Allow me to probe deeper. Just relax. Here's an incongruous question: Given that there will never be another Rick, should the Sabres try and find one? Young, regional, inexperienced, style nearly fully formed. It worked once. You can't tell me there isn't a young livewire somewhere in the OHL. H/t woods

Which leads me to... should the Sabres drop the simulcast and have a radio voice? Is "radio play by play" even a job that will exist in 10 years?

Was he holding back in deference to Rick?

"Great job Ted!" read the banner on Aud retirement night. Is Granato Nolan? Are these Sabres the 95-96 Sabres? Is Rick leaving analagous to the Aud closing?

The ovation for DG showed he's firmly ensconced in the fans' hearts.

Bet that "hazelnut" flavored "creamer" hit the spot, NS!

You never noticed he looks like Newman with fleas?

In rewatching the game I saw that my message to Rick made it onto the MSG door of the pressbox, which was plastered with many such love letters.

We are not worthy. These guys are beaut, scary beaut. Kelly and Patty?

"Meanwhile back at the ranch..."

True. My row did get a 25 buck gift card, so I felt appreciated. KeyBank now owns exclusive rights to my DNA.

It was a good crowd, but there were many empty seats. 16,000 ish? It was also a crowd that seemed still hung over from RJ Night ... until there was a little more magic left. Interesting. Not a lot of people who had tickets stayed home.

Subban crushed it. Did not see that coming. The reaction of the Hawks bench at the end is something this fan has never seen and it was so cool. I won't forget the beautiful noise when they replayed Rick's OT call: dead quiet. That's the greatest tribute he will ever receive. Work in the AM. It's another Sabres night when sleep will be tough.

What else? What else?

Shown on the video board. A still image anyway.

He plays such a smart game.

Mixhalo to the rescue. In sync with arena so far.

No AM reception!

"Sweet dreams, Sabres fans. And good night from downtown Buffalo!" He'll have a hard time topping I Love You.

If Rick ever said left post or right post, I'd be shocked. It was post. Or pipe. Did it matter which post? No, but I saw it.

He has it in him. He also has a lot of Darling's style in him.

Nobody... nobody!... circles the forearm like Cody James Eakin! @Doohickie will field any questions.
