    Ok, now that the Sabres have won 2 in a row, I hope they quit this winning and get back the priority of the McEichel sweepstakes. Please just stop scoring. I can deal with 0-1 losses. Keep playing solid D.

    Wish I could send you my 29 inch Ariens snowblower to you.... Be Safe

    That is the one I was talking about in 2001 where my wife visited Buffalo for xmas for the first time. It was a doosy. Still not 1977. Stay Safe, looks pretty intense. For those who don't remember or were not born yet in '77. Buffalo had about 3 feet on the ground before the blizzard and then over about 5 days we got 12-21+ feet with sustained 50mph winds and gusts over 70mph. Needless to say ranch houses were buried that year and I could walk out my second floor window onto the porch roof and onto the snow. It was wild. Delaware park was used as a snow dump and ended up with 70 foot high mountains of snow that didn't melt till late June that year. Lots of people died on the Highways from Carbon monoxide, because they were unable to keep their tailpipes clear. Be safe and carry a shovel.

    Today, I was able to go up and back from Amherst, MA and then enjoy the game on my warm couch as my boys played mind crap on their ipads. Nice to see a win and solid D for the most part. Only wish Weber was a better skater and puck handler, jeez he battles hard.

    Agreed, both maybe in one trade to Detroit?

    Ah, good old Buffalo snow. I started my first paper route the day the Blizzard of 77 hit. We dug a fort in the back yard that you didn't have to pile up snow and could stand up in. The first year my wife came up to Buffalo, we drove from DC two days before x-mas and there was no snow on the ground. She was grumbling about it and said something sarcastic being an NYC girl. I said be careful what you wish for. Started snowing the next day and we got 5 feet before it was all said it done. Needless to say I got the last laugh. We get a little now that I am near Danbury, CT in the NY side of the border but nothing compared to the good old days. Grocery shelves empty. You guys are becoming pansies. Should already have enough stocked. Streets will be cleared in a day or two max. Folks must be listening to much tot he hype. Turn off the TV and radio once it starts and take the kids outside for some fun. Common Buffalo, don't become like the wimps in the South. I am so ashamed to hear this reaction.

    Yeh, I fell asleep after the hattrick too. Didn't see the third. Still like the D. The fact that Stafford is still on this team makes me sick though.

    McDavid hurt last night. Does that make it easier to draft him?
  9. North Buffalo
    The D didn't look so bad, no help from the forwards. I loved the Z/Risto pairing. They looked comfortable early till the wheels fell off and Gorges disappeared with injury. Z needs to get a little more comfortable with his game and the speed of this game, but in my mind he didn't get himself out of position. When it all comes together and he knows when to run someone over he truly will be a nightmare to play against. Weber is slow, Stachan not bad, I think Sabres could keep him. Still it is so obvious the Sabres don't have a single center who can skate and make plays. The offense is non-existent except for taking a couple outside shots and springing Girgs for a couple of nice breakouts. Tank on. Sabres need two McDavids. P.S. McDavid hurt wrist in a fight last night. Not sure of his status.

    Sabres don't need forward, they need high end guys who can play center. Rare commodity, but they need at least one. Remains to be seen if any of the above mentioned fit the bill. Sabres need a sure fire #1 center.

    It is sad, they haven't been able to get a bag of pucks for this cancer... If not for the Salary Cap issues, I'd say dump him now.

    Ah I think it is deeper than the usual crap. This thing is going down in Texas, the conservative healthcare model is being challenged by Ebola. On top of which, the Governor is in Europe courting foreign heads of state for a possible run at the Presidency while this is going down. Obama folks have been a agressively acting proactive if not a little late and government and private sector inefficiencies in healthcare are being exposed making everyone nervous about where litterally the ebola crap is going to fall and on who. Get your suits on... gonna get ugly I predict.

    Not a bad idea, still can't see myself signing up for NHL network this season. Will read the write ups on this board to keep track of things, but I am too busy to watch these guys suck. My only hope is that Nolan survives. I really like the guy. Deep breaths everyone else.... remember the tank is only a little past half over. Still have a lot of losing to do...
  14. North Buffalo
    Nah, give him 5-8 games and then send him back. Let him have a taste so he knows how far he needs to go. Maybe bring him up after the trade deadline again to see how he is doing. It will give Kaleta and or Grigo a place and insure the Sabres are still in tank mode.
  15. North Buffalo
    Sorry my bad, yes you are correct as usual :)
  16. North Buffalo
    Agreed, plus Sabres need guys who can put the puck in the net. Armia is not there yet and Centers can be moved to wing but rarely the opposite. With McEichel and Girgs, Grigerenko at 3, you could also move could Reinhart or whichever works best. You can't have enough goal scoring centers and God knows the Sabres have had a dearth of both goal scorers and centers. Not necessary to make decision now.

    P.S. They knew right away, maybe not officially, but the x-ray tech and the oncall doc probably could see anything serious. the Radiologist probably had it read within 1/2 hour. P.S. I am an x-ray tech. You know pretty quickly if there is a serious break and any doc can do an initial diagnosis.

    So after last nites game, I feel much better about the Sabres chances of finishing last! Whew I was getting worried the youngsters would actually make a difference at the NHL level.

    Peter Pan, and I will never forget Mork and Mindy with Jonathan Winters as their child. Sad day indeed.

    Long summers without NHL... Waiting for June 2015. Probably already been said, but at this moment it seems a particular suckitude.
  22. North Buffalo
    And those who can't teach, teach gym...

    50 Years sad, 1964, the year I was born, the last year of the babyboomers... not sure what all that means, but I really hope this group of Sabres being put together accomplishes something great... bringing the cup to Buffalo.
  24. North Buffalo
    Couldn't agree more. The sad thing is I think the country is more divided politically then ever before... so I expect more of the same kind of President being nominated in the future. Anyone with a background will get skewered by the other party. I am tired of the teeth nashing wings of both parties having this much sway over politics. Dweebs like Bush and Obama are the only one's that can get elected.

    Agree, really what an imbecile along with the whole NBA in general. Fox, MSNBC, and CNN. The Weather Channel has gone Fox and can't watch it either. Summer without hockey. I am playing so not so bad. MY kids IPADs except when I need peace and quiet. Lack of Sleep. Why I can't just order the channels I want and get rid of all the rest that are useless or in spanish.
