You know, there are two full periods left. And even if they lose this game there's still a chance if the win out the rest of the season.

Guess we're back to looking for a goalie this summer.

Byram tonight at 10pm.

Pull the goalie!

May have to turn this one off early.

Isn't it something like if we win 9 out of 10 we have a chance?

Splice Krebs and Skinner together and you'd have a pretty decent hockey player.

If the government would stop spraying the skies for a few days maybe we could see the &*^% eclipse.

BACK IN THE HUNT!

A cavalcade of low danger shots.

You have to nail that at $4.75m a year.

Skinner is so weak anywhere but in the offensive zone.

Taken to watching Colorado a little since Mitts went over there. Such a good team; full throttle all of the time and relentless net front presence usually by two Avs at a time.

They're not far off from getting into the playoffs. They just need: A new head coach. A new coaching staff. Dump Jost, VO. Package up Power with Rousek or Savoie and trade for a freaking stud offenseman, ideally a center, for the top 6. Package Savoie or Rousek (whoever is left over from above) with Weissbach and a pick and trade for a second stud for the bottom 6. Trade Thompson and a pick and maybe someone left over from the above for someone else to fill out the hole(s) made by doing the above. It's not hard, just takes cojones.

As they say, it's unsustainable. The team will hemorrhage money and/or the team will embarrass the league and/or the players will gripe to the union/demand to be traded/etc. where, privately - because ownership is still an old boy's club - Bettman might intervene and light a fire under the organization to do something. Bettman has gone to bat for the Sabres several times over the last many decades so I think he would rather see the team succeed than not. This is Adams' charm.

Bah, who needs a proven coach? So overrated.

Of course they can. They set up the punchline in that Tweet perfectly.

Yeah, but Paul's and Koziol's laughter was genuine. And not creepy.

You know, there could be hope in the new COO. He could basically take some charts to Pegula's Florida compound and say "you know, Terry, if we put a good hockey team on the ice we could actually make money..."

Hamsammich and Koziol have been reduced to manic laughter.

That's the season barring a miracle.
