Sabres Fan in NS

Great. It'll be a 100 degrees. And spare with that 'it's a dry heat' nonsense.

Do they have much of a winter in Dallas? No, really. I don't think this is a good idea. What's next? Miami?

First of all ... full marks for the use of dastardly in question #3 ... 10.

Thanks, Peppy. You and your wallpapers have been missed. Happy New Year to you too.

Is it just me, or does he look about 14 years old?

I don't like to quote that guy, but ... WRONG!! The Snarks, the Peguins and I think some others too (insert that winkie-winkie thingie here)

MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

And there you have it. Just proves that I need to hire a fact checker.

What's up with Eich?

+++++

OK? EHLERS!! ? And I don't think anyone is panicing, especially JBOT. I think he is right where he wants to be and has the team where he wants it, maybe even ahead of where he thought they would be at this point.

A quick check of the score sheet last night and it was not secondary scoring that failed them it was the first line and first pairing D.

No you're right. There is very little middle ground in sports. Either your team is very good, or very bad. Same for the fans. We all love when our teams are winning, but ready to hate them when they are bad. The Sabres are doing better than anyone figured. The 10 game win streak spoiled us as fans and we dared to dream. The truth is that the Sabres are vastly improved, but still not dreamy. A win against the Islanders tomorrow will be difficult. The wins will be harder to come by now. That means they will be all the sweeter too.

Yuck. I hate when the Sabres lose, especially to these guys. The point for the tie could be important down the road, but not as much as if they would have earned it.

I am in the minority here, but I agree with you. At crunch time give me a veteran every single time. Pilut has a very good chance to end up better, but he isn't yet.

Once again they have saved the best news for last this year ... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/north-atlantic-right-whale-calf-1.4961397 This is extremely awesome, indeed.

Yup. I know ... lame. Hey, how are you back to Eleven? It has not been 180 days yet, has it?

If memory serves and it often doesn't ... TrueBlue.

Have you heard of 'Montezuma's Revenge', eh? Well this is "Jack's Revenge'.

We are the 'sexy tweeners'. Yup. And I agree all this nonsense was designed to market junk. '... but it did not affect (the steady sale of junk) ...' ? (I know some of you will get it).

Concussion.

It has been pointed out by a friend that I have not given an update in some time ... Yesterday marked 3 months (12 weeks). I think that's pretty darn awesome.

Sekera is only 32? I thought he would be 40+ by now. Seems like forever ago he was a Sabre.

I seem to remember a report that Moore will not be playing tonight either. The (it's taking all that I have not to insert that word right here) Bruins are depleted tonight. We need to take full advantage.
