Eleven

Nah they let Tim Connolly wear Westfall's number.

I've played bass. The legit kind and even the electric kind. What you did there is not easy.

Swamp, this is really beautiful.

He's living up to it. He plays hockey, and the Sabres pay him for it. Don't know if you were around here for the Hecht years, but the comparison definitely is apt.

Remember when everyone thought Jochen Hecht sucked, but really the problem was just that he was overpaid relative to what he brought to the team? Same situation here. Okposo has value; he's just overpriced. They should keep him. Also, I'm amused that this discussion is nearly simultaneous with a suggestion that the Sabs acquire $10m/year Kopitar.

Islanders are going down the Sabres path of cheaply retiring numbers.

Those Trans-Siberian idiots have ruined Carol of the Bells for me forever.

Shooting from your own end with icing as a possible consequence is very different from shooting from your own end without that possible consequence. This was a bad idea. I realize that the goal in question was shot from beyond the red (Toronto's perspective); it still was a bad idea to pull Ullmark. There was plenty of time left and Krueger needed to be more temperate. Before anyone gets crazy, no, I don't hate the guy, and no, I don't want him fired. I just didn't like that decision.

That's a smarter move.

Silent Night also is good. But I do love The First Noel more.

It's a bad idea on a power play with that much time left. The opponent can shoot at will without worrying about icing. This was not Kruger's smartest moment.

The First Noel, I think. Or maybe Hark the Herald Angles Sing.

I know where you're coming from, but I just can't care about these types of accolades.

I'm ok with this, I guess? Edmunds and Singletary should have been on the edge of making it, but maybe not in.

He's just so happy. How is that not anything but wonderful? What a good dude. I was able to watch every Bills game in Oklahoma legally over 20 years ago. There was no streaming then. There was hardly NFL on cable then. I can't possibly imagine that it has become more difficult.

Kopitar is 32. No.

SO my superstition about not posting in GDTs before the game now is broken. This team didn't do anything for 45 or 50 minutes. Deserved to lose.

When I read "Genny tall boys," I am not thinking micros. Maybe I'm wrong?

It's gone way beyond MCDermott's "displays," if those even are a thing; there already is a thread for it; and no one is throwing a hissy fit.

Likewise if the Chiefs move into 2 and the Patriots slide to 3.

Swamp you hang in there.

People pay to drink Genny?

We have a religion thread somewhere...

Yeah--I meant long term. Sorry about the ambiguity. The Sabres will pay for a hotel for 3 weeks.
