Sabres Fan in NS

BOOM!!

Well, you did ask for it.

Welcome back to the old @CallawaySabres that we all know and love. (insert whatever thingie is the one that lets you know that I'm kidding here)

I think it is pretty clear why Samson was bridged. It's the cap. Even though I wanted Sam signed long-term and not bridged I can see the reason for it. Pretty good cap management, IMO. I am not so sure how much more $ Sam will command now then when he signed the bridge deal. I was thinking 6.5 - 7 when he signed the bridge deal for a long-term deal. Now I am thinking around 7.5 - 8, so about a million more AAV over 8 years. Not bad and next season the Sabres can afford that with old contracts expiring.

We are now officially below DeLuca 500 and with a -3 goal differential. Yuck.

Not to mention that terrible ***** has nothing to do with ownership.

It has nothing to do with the game tonight. Besides the fact that it is not true.

Gionta.

Why do the Sabres only have 4 skaters out there now?

Why is this in the GDT?

Is it just me, or did the Sabres just get away with 6 skaters out there?

'Cus everybody is on a rampage tonight. It started even before the game did.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think the Sabres have played that badly tonight. There biggest problem is all the missed shots. A little more on target and / or a bit of luck and this game would be tied, at least.

I think they will come out on fire to start the third. Jack with the hattie + 2.

The tropical island of ?????

Yikes/

Bet they come out on fire in the second. Jack with the hattie.

Your sister looks like my cousin. Maybe were related? +++++ NS reporting for duty. When's puck drop? MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

No, @R_Dudley, you can stay.

Hey, @chileanseabass, just the other night our estemed @Pimlach mentioned fine dining on Chilean Sea Bass with his lovely bride. Said dinning not only made him late for duty in the GDT that day, but made me think of you and how you are doing since we have not heard from you for quite some time. And here you are. Fancy that. So, how are your Gunners doing this season? I think it was you that was / is the Arsenal fan. Then again, maybe I have that all wrong. I have not been keeping up with the EPL much this season. Also, IMHO, an MBA is very over-rated.

Good point. Also, welcome to our little family. We love each other very much, but like most families we are very dysfunctional. Sent you a welcome beer.

Many have mentioned that one more hit to the head could be catastrophic. I am no doctor and don't even play one on SabreSpace, but my fear is that with his concussion history, especially recently, that one hit, or the cumulative effect of that many hits, could have already happened. I think he should have and was hoping that he would have retired after the last big health scare. I have no problem with him being at the arena, so long as he does not go near the ice, which is assumable, eh?

8 PM (NS time for Bluenosers like you and I) seems like a lifetime away. It's not even 3 PM yet.

Not me.

I will not speak for @nfreeman, but the tank was not set in place for Eich. He is a great player, but he was the consolation prize. I will not derail the thread further, but close with ... IMHO, the Sabres would not be where they are now if the tank was not established as team policy.
