Mustache of God

What would happen if Pegula fired Bylsma without consulting Murray? I'd love to see the follow up presser from GMTM.

Reading some of his quotes in the BN articles posted here I don't think he's going to let em fly: “You don’t want to go chance-for-chance with the teams that we’re playing here,” Bylsma said in KeyBank Center. “You don’t want to go offense-for-offense or run-and-gun. You do have to limit what they get by how you play with the puck. That’s a focus for us in the next two games.” This roughly translates to: I'm telling my team to reel it back on O to focus on D which means don't expect more than one goal from us and we're still going to make bone-headed mistakes on D and give up goals

This is my only chance to see the Sabres play in the city this year and I have no interest in going. Looking at stubhub the cheapest seat I can get is $110.00 and it's simply not worth the money. Maybe next year. Go Sabres.

I was just thinking "surely this has to be his last year" and looked and see he's being paid $4 million to play next season. Can't argue he wasn't elite once upon a time but man has he slowed down.

OOOOOOOOOOKKKKPPOOOOSSOOO!!! SCORING SLUMP NO MORE!

HOW WAS THAT NOT IN???

Alright let's get PP Goal here, make that backes hit keep giving.

Is that an instigator?

Most of me really hates to see a player injured but a small part of me likes it when it's a Bruins player. I'll never un-salt from the Lucic on Miller hit. Hope Backes is ok but You, Boston.

I like it when they play physical.

Good save by Lehner but a sloppy, sloppy power play.

YEAH BABY!!!! Also today is the free game of the day streaming on Yahoo https://sports.yahoo.com/video/nhl-free-game-day-12-205246806.html

ALRIGHT LET'S DO THIS! SAAABRES!

I'll be watching tonight. Hopefully Eichel has some fire as he sounded pretty p-o'd after the game last night. I'd like to see Nilsson have a strong game tonight, or at least make some saves in a shootout. I'd like to see a first period where we don't give up any goals, or at least we score the first goal. It's a tall order but I think the boys will be up to it. On a personal note, I'm disappointed that the one time this year the Sabres are playing in my neighborhood I'm back home in Buffalo. Maybe next year, Barclays.

I suppose I was speaking in hyperbole. I'm in my early 30's and a lifetime of Buffalo Sports disappointment has allowed me to keep my emotions in check. I assure you Christmas is alive and well in the mustacheofgod household.

Well christmas has officially been ruined. That was a horrible game.

This will be the only home game I attend this year. All I really want for Christmas is a Sabres win and please god no shootout loss. I also want to see Jack play mad and have a doozy of a game. I'm also taking my wife, who has never been to a game in Buffalo. I have a parking pass for the garage that says it's worth $20. If anyone wants it PM me and it looks like I can email it through the Sabres ticket app service thingy. GO SABRES!

I can think of one shootout goal only, and that's from O'Reilly, Cal O'Reilly.

I could be wrong but I believe he's on an entry level contract so he wouldnt need to be protected (same reason we don't have to protect jack or sam).

Carrier has only played 20 NHL games, he's still got a lot of development to get through and will have a place on this team. At this current time, it's been driving me nuts seeing him on the top line and with no pay-off on the score sheet.

Foligno is at least an upgrade over Carrier on that line. I haven't had the luxury of being able to watch most of the games this year (mostly listen on the WGR app) so I can't speak to Carrier's "jam", but he has 2 points in 20 games this year...how many of those have been on the top line? If you're playing top line minutes you should be putting up something on the score sheet. In an ideal situation Ennis should be slotted in there but who knows if he'll ever return to form?

Sounds like the forward lines are shaping up to be: Foligno - ROR - Samson Moulson - Yeichel - Okposo Kane - Larsson - Gionta Carrier - Grant - Girgensons scratches: D-Lo, Falk

Who would Des replace? Grant, Carrier?

Oh great, a team whose been struggling to score is playing Buffalo. What could possibly go wrong? /s Why not take it one further level and call him Pu Gooseford?

I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to be doing with this raging eichel induced election right now.
