It's gonna be a walk in the Park.

Old Man PA swings his hand around and smacks Thorny across the head while keeping his one good eye on the road, but not before taking out the triplets, who go down like dominoes. "THIS IS MY ONE WEEK OFF THIS YEAR AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO RUIN IT! THIS IS THE TRIP! YOU'RE GOING TO ENJOY IT! SHUT UP!"

T.A.T! Good call or no? That one-timer was something else. The flashes are there. The finish isn't. I feel like this team is a gathering storm. They're still rumbling in the distance, but they're coming. How do y'all feel about that writer in the postgame calling Thompson Tommers and Dahlin Dahls? What did we learn about time last night? The clock on the screen seemed to be at .1 when the puck went in. The inset of the scoreboard clock was .4. I thought Dan's "time is on their side" line was great. Insomnia sucks.

It's not information. It's conjecture based on common sense.

It's there because SDS didn't want people selling tickets here, I'm guessing.

I wanna be you, z and LTS when I grow up.

Have you considered the tickets sub-forum? It's a separate place for a reason.

The bold gets to the heart of it. Of course they feel good about making their millions. But get these former Sabres in a room and listen to what they'd say about Terry the owner. He made their hockey lives miserable. He disrespected their profession by buying his way into and treating it as his plaything. Cattle? Cattle are given more respect than those players were. They'll tell all. He's an open joke.

Nonsense. It wasn't, by definition, Gretzky's team when it won without him. Put another way, do you think those Oilers win that Cup if Gretzky hadn't been around before that? dudacek would be advised to not compare Dahlin's game to a game played by one of the G.O.A.T.s. Pick another good defenseman, maybe one who never won Jack Squat in his career. Apples and oranges, fellas.

FSS, FFS! Delete this thread and start again. After that thing that happened?

Don't dilute Lidstrom that much. Millions of guys had Gretzky-like games. The great ones contribute to winning. They are indispensable to winning. Dahlin and Lidstrom shouldn't be used in the same universe, let alone sentence. I remember that time Ville Leino had a Mark Messier-ish game.

I don't see how trying to pin the puck for 12, 15, 18 seconds with two D against the glass, a forward nearby below the goal line, another forward near the wall and one forward covering everywhere and everyone else isn't a major malfunction. They ended up with a forward trying to play a down-low three on one.

Have you fallen this far? Sad.

I was. Follow along. For one, when has Terry, or when have the Pegulas, taken responsibility for what they've wrought?

Let me break it down for you. financial issues CHECK too much of a jerk to fess up CHECK instead blaming everyone else CHECK treating his players like cattle... CHECK this isn't going to end well. CHECK

What was more galling, the Sabrepede or whatever we're calling last night?

At least I won't have to hear about how Terry "finally figured it out."

At 74 Sam Rosen is still full of vim and vinaigrette.

Sounds familiar.

Not true.

See also: have the Sabres offended you today?

The Sabres have never offended me. The Sabres are a beloved logo, the men who founded the franchise, players who almost died for us and at least one who did die for us it turns out, Sabre Dance, Rick and Ted, the Aud and the Marena, so many memories and great times, Uncle Milt, Andreychuk to Zhitnik. The Sabres are your country. You can love it but be offended by and even hate your president and your government and even your fellow citizens. It's an easy distinction for me to make. Terry offends me on so many levels. Nothing specific today except look where we're at — the jalopy of state is just now rocking back and forth, possibly inching closer to getting out of the snowbank its owner drove it into. I love that beater though.

Just a thought. Should you use the word skill instead of talent? Is talent potential skill? It strikes me that you're hung up on talent, which doesn't always mean anything. Skill, however...
