    Now we're on to something
  2. TheAud
    That's DeLusional

    Now on a pace for two this season
  4. TheAud
    It's a Miracle!

    WTF was Girgensons thinking...
  6. TheAud
    Don't think so...she's got cat-like reflexes like her old man
  7. TheAud
    My daughter is at that game!
  8. TheAud
    Jack and Sam are no shows thus far

    Reminded me of an NFL game, the officiating was so bad.

    I was also thinking along the lines of nfreeman in viewing Kane on ice, but now think I will choose to follow this line of reasoning as it's much more optimistic and I can use that!

    If the team can make a run towards a playoff spot, keep him. If not, consider trading as his value is peaking and he's proven to be an above average injury risk as well as an above average risk in terms of off-ice antics causing him to miss time or be a major distraction. However don't trade him for a bag of pucks. Needs to be a solid return with younger and/or proven players signed to lower cap consuming contracts. If he's still here after the trade deadline based on Sabres playoff position or lack of a decent return, then reconsider the situation after the season ends. Note: I do think we are seeing "peak Kane" as 25 is not an age where wingers typically develop into better players than they had been previously. I.e. when healthy and on his game he's a 30 goalie scoring physical force. We just haven't seen him healthy or on his game as much as hoped the past 1.5 years.

    Gotcha. In that case, I do believe they are on the cusp of actually being on the cusp. It's like cusp squared,
  13. TheAud
    I wasn't inferring they are ON the cusp. Just, you know, doing math.

    Actually, if they get 1 point more than a point per game over the next 44 games, they'd accumulate 82 points (45 more + 37 from first 38 games) and that would beat last year's total of 81. That's a finish only ever so slightly better than they've played (in terms of getting points) thus far this year. A very strong finish would be 59 points in 48 games, putting them at 96 for the year and on the cusp of making the playoffs (or maybe not but close).

    Sabres really need a power play but it seems the ticky tacky calls only go against them
  16. TheAud
    What a mess
  17. TheAud
    I wish this team had some finishers.

    Had amazing nachos in Pittsburgh at a Pens game two years ago. Cheese, pulled pork BBQ, and jalapeños piled on top. It was beyond great. My girlfriend was completely enamored with the nachos and the hockey game experience...I made her my wife based on the data point (Ok and a few others)

    And in 10 years we'll have 67! I am pretty sure that's how this works.

    Now this year's team has played the same number of games as the prior two years had played by Dec 31st. I.e. 38 games each. 2014-15: 31 points 2015-16: 34 points 2016-17: 37 points Attached is the updated chart I had posted elsewhere a week or two ago that shows the path's of each team point totals over 82 games.

    Their performance ,largely in terms of save %, have been pretty close this season, except as pointed out above the last few games have given Nilsson a small advantage. I would expect over time that advantage will disappear. Based on lifetime performance I'd expect Lehner to be the better goalie over time but that's not to say that we couldn't A) Ride the Hot Hand or B) Experience the Devan Dubnyk Scenario. (Big goalie looks average or below average for a period of years then suddenly becomes an All-Star). It will take a 'few' more games to convince me we are seeing B, but I am fine with A based on Nilsson's play last night, Lehner's marginal play vs. Boston, and Lehner's terrible shoot-out performance (although in fairness, Nilsson has been lousy there too, just not as bad).

    Thank you for looking this up. So I was 11 years old. Seems like I was younger in my memory but it figures my friends parents wouldn't be bringing two 8 year olds out for a game. 11 year olds makes more sense. 8-4 really rings a bell but I am thinking we may have left the building before the 8th goal was scored. It may have even been Gare's hattie and we heard the horn go off as we walked out and then heard what happened on the radio. I could be dreaming that part, I can't find a box score for the game (granted I only looked for 5 minutes). I couldn't recall the two Sabres who scored the play off hat tricks in the same game (I was in the middle of first stint overseas at the time and although I followed the Sabres closely, life was crazy) but I did recall the Lindy-Hitchcock feud in that series. God I miss the Sabres in the playoffs.

    It looks like 18 inches gap, at least, in the picture. My guess is it's sort of an optical allusion based on how Zemgus is standing (not at full height) and where the camera angle is. Or Porzingis is on his tippy toes.
  24. TheAud
    And Girgs is 6'2"!

    But Al Gore did build the internet. Please help me I'm feeling a little slow here...how is it that in the past Rigas and Golisano, and in the present Pegula, have not owned the Sabres because the Knox's and the fans are the only owners the Sabres have ever had? I assume you are making a metaphorical or philosophical argument of some sort? Time passes and things change. You and I may be old enough to have been Sabres fans in the Knox days (at least, I'm that old) but there are many fans of the team who weren't even alive when they owned the team. How is Ted Darling relevant to them? (My best friend lived down the street from the Darlings and I once got to attend a Sabres game where they had been given tickets from Ted, in the first row, in the corner vs. the Flyers. I recall Danny Gare scoring multiple goals. Sometime I need to track down what game that was, I must have been maybe 8-9 years old. It's like a dream.)
