Mustache of God

Barclays worked in theory because you have a Long Island Rail Road stop literally underneath the arena which made it somewhat less convenient than driving into Brooklyn and back again to catch a game. Building a new arena in Queens will eliminate that modicum of convenience and I can't see how attendance will improve. It certainly isn't going to attract any casual fans. Barclays is at transit-hub, Citi-Field is a trek. I for one, don't want to see them move. I live a mile away from the arena and casually attend ~3 games a year buying tickets on the secondary market. Oh well.

Well if they're down by 2 late in the game I think we have a good chance they'll show up to make it interesting....only to have the tying score called off by some hogwash toronto review.

I'd like to see Gionta moved at the deadline just so we can transition the Captainship to ROR and hopefully sew an "A" into Eichel's sweater. Gionta leaving would create something of a leadership vacuum and I'd like to see our future leaders step up and embrace the roles now. I'd also like to see Gionta get a taste of the playoffs again. I'm indifferent to the status of Kulikov and I know the pending expansion draft makes for an atypical scenario. I'm actually looking forward to the expansion draft to remove one of the dead weight members of the team (fingers crossed for Moulson, Bogo, or Gorges but I fear we'll lose an Ennis or Girgensons). Maybe I'm still in tank mode but I have a feeling he hasn't been happy here and will test UFA instead of resigning here. I'd rather him traded than losing him for nothing. Personally I'm not expecting much action out of Murray at the deadline. I can't think any play-off bound team is thinking "We're just one Gionta/Franson/Kulikov away from being a serious contender this year". I remember Weber was heralded as a great depth pick-up for the Capitals. That didn't work out so well.

"I don't like you but I love you. Seems that I'm always thinking of you. Oooh, ooh, ooh, you treat me badly, I love you madly. You really got a hold on me." The Beatles sum it up best for me. Do I like what I've seen from this team for the past 7 years? No. Do I like the current team? Not really, and why should we? This team is so hard-pressed to put together 60 minutes of effort. "Free" time is difficult to come by and too often this season I'll turn a game on during the 2nd period (it's rare I'll be home and able to catch a 7 or 730 start) to see the Sabres look completely outclassed. The product is supposed to be entertainment after all. If I'm not being entertained, what's the point? That doesn't mean I don't love this team though. In my Sunday beer-league, our team jersey is Yellow with Blue Trim. I have a Sabres patch ironed on a shoulder which I take a lot of for but wear it with pride. Once this team finally becomes competitive again I'll make the time to watch the games, because they will be entertaining and it will be an appropriate use of my time. I'm not a super-active posted here (only 750ish posts since 2011) but I'm here everyday following every detail of the team. It helps get me through the work day when it's slow or provides a needed break when it's chaotic. So thank you to all the active posters who have provided insight, theories and criticisms over the years.

Wow this is some serious grade a . What are they looking at in toronto.

That rear view angle clearly shows its in. This is an interesting review

That was the worst power play I've seen in a long time

Time to tie it up.

Brad May is unwatchable. Guy needs to relax when he speaks.

Ha, RJ saying someone just tried to sell him a beer is the best thing this period has had to offer

I disagree, I will always root against Toronto and I'm hoping they kick-start their Spring woes and also start losing the games in hand they have. otherwise thanks for putting that list together.

They say he works in mysterious ways. I, for one, am a huge fan of the 8:30 pm start. This allows me to attend a pick-up hockey game in the park tonight and get home and shower and won't miss much of the first. The past few games the team has been getting support across the roster outside of but not excluding our top 6 (Gionta, Girgensons, Kane, Franson, Bogo). Who steps up tonight? I'm looking at you Matty Mo.

You're doing God's work.

I just caught the highlights and the first goal was a perfectly placed shot and the 4th was a one timer from Neal who was wide open in the slot. Those were not on the goalie. The 2nd and 3rd goal, however, are borderline inexcusable to give up at this level.

THE HYPE TRAIN AIN'T SLOWING DOWN!!!! WHOOOO!!!

Has Okposo played with Eichel at all 5v5 this year? What about ROR? With all the line juggling we've seen all year I can't understand why DDB wouldn't try putting his skill players on a line together...maybe even at the end of games we've been behind? Has that happened?

Jeez, is Edmonton the real winner of the Kassian/Hogdson trade?

PK

Derek Grant will score the GWG tonight on a softie that trickles through Lenher....is what I would have said last week but I just bought a one-way ticket on the Hype-Train express whose next destination is Playoff City. Choo-choo mother-! Eichel pots 3 tonight. GO Sabres.

We had this in my house growing up and this was the first thing I thought of seeing this thread. I wasn't born until the mid-80's so that's my two cents.

Just caught the highlights. Holy Jesus was RJ in fine form tonight! Looked like a great goaltending bout on both sides and I'm happy to see two wins in a row (despite giving up points to divisional teams in OT).

Can't tell if I have an intermittent stream of if Brad May can't speak properly.

I can't wait until Eichel finally scores on one of those faceoff shots.

Can you blame him?

Before I could even come to a conclusion in my head of which is more pathetic, being 30th on the powerplay or 30th on the PK, the question was answered for me by Detroit.
