Ugh

1) Hogan wanted out of Buffalo 2) Hogan wasn't worth $4MM+/year 3) Brady makes any scrub WR look like a hall of famer 4) That was Hogan's biggest game of the year, meaning the Pats did little with him the rest of the season and crossed up the Steelers by throwing to him a lot. Did you notice how no one bothered to cover Hogan? It would be like the Bills deciding to throw to Walter Powell all game.

I don't know. Hockey heaven? Maybe we are reading too much into all this. Maybe it's just an event for the sake of hosting an event?

Thought of that. Did you mean 2 pts for OT win and 1 pt for loss, but only 1 pt for SO win and 0 pts for loss? The problem with that is teams that know they stink in the SO (know any teams like that?) would deliberately allow a goal in OT just to earn a point. That's not cricket.

What they need to do is go to a 3-2-1 points system. 3 points for regulation win, 2 points for OT/shootout win, 1 point for loss.

Glass half empty: Sabres tied for last with 47. Glass half full Sabres just 5 points out of a wild card with 2 games in hand. Still 11 teams within 8 points fighting for 3 playoff spots.

Goalie technique looked so awkward back then. I mean Tony Esposito was considered one of the greats back then and he looks foolish on those goals. They were so upright then. Maybe it's the equipment being better now.

My new go-to healthy breakfast: quick-cook steel cut oats made with almond milk and craisins.

This would be a night I'd make the 4-hour drive to Montreal and find a scalper dumping a single seat in the nosebleeds a few minutes before the face off. Then get a room and enjoy some smoked meat and bagels, or dim sum before heading home. Unfortunately I have to work.

QB Fever kicks in 'round this time each year. No matter how the draft class is rated, people start jonesing for a QB. Mid-round prospects start being mentioned as first-rounders. Peak fevered delusions strike the week of the draft.

As of today there are 11 teams within 8 points of each other and 3 playoff spots up for grabs. Sabres are 5 behind the Leafs for a WC. If they have any prayer of catching up they need to win games like tonight.

Is Guhle even eligible to be called up? I thought the Sabres burned his one emergency call up?

Be sellers at the deadline. I'm writing this season off.

Bucky & Sully are the two smartest people in WNY. They show it every time they write a column. :blink:

Depression is the natural state of WNY sports fans. In fact things are worse when we DON'T have something to be depressed over.

One option should be "They tanked incorrectly."

And when they go big they go dumb, like building that soccer stadium in the worst part of town.

My faith in Murray has taken a hit.

Hope the Sabres show up today.

You want a grade? F-

Terry and Kim need to eat another contract.

At least Nilsson tries.
