Could the Sabres beat an AHL team?

Is there still a requirement that every team gets one all star?

7 conference champs and one at-large. You seed 'em 1-8 and let 'er rip. Of course people would complain about schools like Troy State and Central Michigan in a national championship tournament but I say too bad. I don't understand how a team that couldn't win it's own conference should be allowed to compete for a national championship. Besides, you never know when you get an upset, and that's half the fun.

Why not? They let in every two-bit basketball conference winner into the Big Dance. Make it a championship that is earned. Not a beauty contest. You want to be champion? Win your conference.

Was there a hockey game today?

Couple of nits to pick in the Sports Science video. 1) The Sumo goalie was parked at the goal line. Any normal goalie comes out to cut down the angle. 2) His glove position was totally wrong, resting them on his knees. He should have his gloves out and up to take up more space. He missed another 5-6% coverage because of his gloves in the wrong place. 3) Fuggedabout that 5-hole.

Czech/Canada is also on TV.

Quick question. If goaltenders are completely responsible for the goals they let in (as you seem to believe) why do hockey teams have defensemen? To play defense, maybe?

Yeah, goaltending. That's the problem. <_<

My god, you could see how nonchalantly the Sabres were defending their zone. I just thought to myself Minny was going to score.

I could care less about the CFP because it's still a beauty contest to get in. If you want a REAL national champion, have a tournament like March Madness and give a berth to EVERY CONFERENCE CHAMPION. You want to be champ? Win your conference.

As long as Buffalo is reliably the #1 hockey ratings market in the USA, we are always in discussion for the Winter Classic. Expect it by 2023.

Try holding your breath.

I'm fine with it. Buffalo got more than enough good fortune this weekend.

Losing the shadows made it all better, even the sky cam.

Are you kidding? No high stick call??

Yeah that's on Lehner. You have to hold the post.

The floating sky cam is making me seasick.

Jeez, did the planners consider shadows in this game? Do you realize how hard it is to track a shot in and out of shadow?

Ace Frahley looks and sounds like he just rolled out of bed.

Me too. Partly sunny and 13 in Hamburg right now. Best News, no wind. But we are 4 hours from puck drop. Sec 309 Row 2. Upper decks are just $55. Haven't looked at Stubhub yet.

I'm already subsidizing $6 ticket nights.

Did Bogo get the assist on the tying goal? He deserves one.

Thanks, BOGO, for your dumb blind pass.

Was going to say. Freeze frame the goal moment and you see a bunch of Sabres looking in every direction but the scorer.
