I rarely watched Hockey Night in Canada so I'm not aware of Cherry's antics. But @msw2112 is correct. If your job is to report on a team, and you can't learn to say a player's name correctly after two years, that is not a good look.

That was ugly

Georgiev slow to respond to Crosby's wraparound.

Good exercise keeping a lead late.

How many shots are the Sabres going to allow there!

Blocked a shot So plowing the goalie is legal and so is shoveling a puck that's covered up.

Did he shoot it off Lyon's head?

Defense makes your goaltending better.

Lyon has a shutout going in my book.

Not me. Because we wouldn't get away with that. Based on 4 preseason games, he is.

What do you want to see?

That's how you score a goal.

So plowing the goalie into the net to score is allowed now?

Paul's annual review...

Inertia. Buffalo radio is full of it.

Smarter decisions instead of dumb decisions? Eureka!

I don't believe Terry is pinching pennies. He has a larger coaching and front office staffs than most teams. You point at $5MM in unspent cap as some kind of proof while he's paying for 2 GMs (Kev & Jarmo) and a half dozen assistants. If he was that cheap why does he do that? Did you know Jan and her $60K salary costs Terry over $90K when you add in unemployment taxes, benefits and employer contributions? If you've never hired people you wouldn't know that. I don't know how many people work for the Sabres and what expenses beyond salaries there are. But I can be 100% sure that the player salaries are not the teams only expense.

I don't know. What other expenses are there? Teams have more employees than just players. What about rent, taxes, insurance? Are you aware that a salary is only about 60% of the cost of an employee?

There is a difference between franchise values and operating in the red. Does $180MM/yr pay the bills? I don't know all the Sabres expenses.

Not poorly but he's getting beat more.

Everybody just standing on the blue line, duh.

I have to see that goal again, but you can't just look at the end result. You have to see what led to it. Maybe they'll show a replay.

I think this is Mrtka's back to earth game.

Yes.
