  1. He was great in Slap Shot. "Dickie Dunn wrote this, it must be true!" Classic! He was also the diving swim coach in "Back To School" with Rodney Dangerfield. RIP Emmet Walsh. One great character actor for sure.
  2. Casey DeSmith sucks and the Sabres are giving him have an easy night. So sick of this crap!
  3. Zero sustained pressure in the offensive zone. 10 shots thru 2 periods. Horrific.
  4. Good luck, Kyle! Even though the Sabres didn't win squat with him, he was a good Captain for Buffalo. Anybody know anything about the D man they got in return?
  5. Well, Casey was terrible at pull-ups! Out you go!!
  6. Well, you're not wrong. Forget all that for a moment though. Greenway needs to park his big frame in front of the goalie and wreak havoc and score the dirty garbage goals like good ol friend, Dave Andreychuk. IMO.
  7. From Hamilton WGR: "The media in Los Angeles was so impressed with Tage Thompson and how he dominated every time he had the puck, they made him the first star of the game despite having no points. Thompson played 19:37 and had four shots on goal and 13 shot attempts." Tage did play a physical game and had a lot of shots (mostly all misses), but its crazy JJP didn't get the first star. Lastly, the one shot Tage had on the PowerPlay shattered Cam Talbot's goal stick on the top handle and it went flying to the back boards. It was quite a sight to see. Of course Buffalo went 0-4 on the PP☹️
  8. No. Upper body injury. and it makes no sense why Tage was number 1 star? It should easily been Peterka. Dude had 2 goals 1 assist and drew 3 penalties. It’s bizarre he didn’t get any star! Ridiculous.
  9. Agree 100%. plus Razor had Aprox 3200 PIM and played 900 games. Twist had 1,100 PIM in 445 games.
  10. I think this team needs a new eye doctor. Nobody can hit the net. It’s happening all season. Missing shots like crazy all the time. Brutal.
  11. "The French gorilla" as Rick Jeanneret would say.
  12. Makes me long for the days of Jay McKee and Rhett Warrener. Both of those Defensemen could lay the hammer on opponents. This team needs more players like that.
  13. Agree 100%. A player like Alex Pietrangelo of the Golden Knights is a perfect example. Not that he's coming to Buffalo, lord help us, but this type of player for sure.
  14. Terry Pegula is a total moron. I hate this guy. Sure its the players on the ice and the coach and GM, I get that, but Terry hasn't hired any real hockey veterans to run this club. He meddles in everything and he doesn't know jack squat.
  15. I read his biography. "Matthew Barnaby: Unfiltered". Good read, I enjoyed it. He absolutely loved Ted Nolan and would run thru a wall for him. He despised Dominik Hasek due to his selfishness, as did Rob Ray (Ray said so in his book: "Rayzors Edge"). Anyway, Barnaby has his demons, and its not pretty, but his time in the Goathead was unforgettable and I loved his passion for the team. That '99 Cup was ours gdammit!!
  16. 50 First game was at The Aud in 1980 with Bob Sauve between the pipes. My uncle had season tix for a long time. First row Red seats in corner near Player and Zamboni tunnel. I miss that place. The nachos, the cracker jack guy in the wheelchair out front, the tunnel ramps, the cigarette smoke filled halls, the Earl of Bud and of course the rink with the boards and glass that would just rattle like crazy after a big check. Good times!
  17. Sorry late question here. I watched the game but didn’t have sound available. What was the call that gave Pittsburgh an immediate 5 on 3 powerplay? I Cant remember last time I’d seen a team get two different penalties simultaneously. And of course the Penguins score.
  18. 46 total shots. None of them any good. Can’t believe we saw that many shots that have completely no impact in the game. JFC!!
  19. Ever since he’s owned them they have sucked big time. I hate that loser. He got lucky with the Bills. Wish he would sell the Sabres.
  20. I'd add #15. Cheap bastard Terry Pegula refusing to hire a Hockey Operations guy or President of Hockey Ops. Whatever you want to call it, he's failed spectacularly at this. What did Pat Lafontaine do to be banished is beyond me?
  21. Yes, T Mobile Arena is amazing and its loud in there with all the stuff going on. Sensory overload at times too. However, its one of the most expensive arenas in the league so I only go to several games a year.
  22. I'll be at the game tonight because I love self punishment. Looking for a WIN but not expecting much. Now would be a great time for 24-Cuzy to step up with a couple goals. We can dream right?
