Don't forget that around $5MM of the Sabres salary is going to a coach for Dallas. We are under the floor in terms of actual players playing for the team.

And it gives him and the team the perfect excuse for why they missed.

Because that penalty was the defining moment in the game, at least for UPL. Let’s hope he grows from it, I mean, that is what this season is about, right?

I would bet money that Swayman isn’t getting that call on Cozens. Goalies trip players all the time trying to make saves. I never said the fix is in, but it absolutely did lead to a 7-1 loss. And you are right, it shouldn’t have (as I already said). It was a tight checking, low event game until then. And yes, UPL should have pulled himself together. He’s going to have to learn how soon, cause those kinds of calls ain’t gonna stop any time soon. And you never answered. Did you watch the game.

What? So now instead of making a save, he’s supposed to tuck his stick out of the way in case the opposing player might hit it. It’s ridiculous. And he didn’t “finish him off.” UPL went to poke check the puck away from Pasta and the stick went between his legs. Then he fell. His left leg went under UPL’s stick and lifted it taking out his right leg even more. UPL didn’t lift his stick to trip him. It wasn’t borderline. It was a crap call. It was the defining moment in the game. It shouldn’t have been, but it was. They should have been able to overcome a bad call but they are still young.

Did you watch the game?

The one that UPL got for making a save. Duh.

No, those Charlie the Butchers are legit. I'm planning on stopping at the one in East Aurora next month.

I don't know what the final score was, but it was 3-0. That penalty that changed the game and tells us all we need to know about MFTs. I will bet money that Boston gets an early exit in the playoffs.

That's a Sunoco.

The game was decided on a bullish!t call. No one will convince me otherwise. The NHL being the NHL.

I was always underwhelmed by Swiston's. The BoW was just okay, and it felt like i was interrupting coffee hour at someone else's church.

They still better be a part of the whole NHL package. It will be complete bullshizz if we have to pay for just MSG games on their service and have to pay for another service to get the rest of the NHL games. For all the kvetching people did about the price of cable and wanting ala carte television, well, here it is, and it sucks.

NOCO in Orchard Park has a Charlie the Butcher in it. Maybe that's where you went? There is also a Charlie the Butcher in the Marathon Station in East Aurora.

I disagree. If we miss the playoffs this year. It won’t be because of our #4 Dman.

Sorry, I should have quoted LGR’s OP.

Meh. That’s all I can muster.

Aren’t you arguing for a solution without a problem, though? Don’t we actually have our top four defensemen for the next 4-6 years?

Kelly's Korner.

I still say it's wings.

I'll just say that after a disappointing loss to LA, the Sabres have collected 10 of 14 points. If you factor in that three of their wins came against opponents they are directly competing against for those playoff spots making them four point games, they accrued 16 of 20 points in the last seven games. Going to be a lot harder with Tuch out, but I am hopeful.

Didn't they crush the Caps at home on Sunday?

Still don't get it, but a Seinfeld reference means you are definitely a grownup,… well, maybe. I agree that not pulling the goalie a lot earlier was bad, like, weird bad. I, um, think I get your reference, now.

Is there a setting on the board where you can't use a question mark in a thread title? They are BS.

I thought it was a fun game (or, at least they made it fun by the end). Sucks they lost, but whatever. The CBJs deserved to win. The Sabres at least didn't roll over and made it a game. Again. Whatever. You can make me go to Urban Dictionary, or you can post like a grownup. It was weird.
