Sabres Fan in NS

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.

Rask in net per Bruins at NHL.com

Fixed.

I believe he is, but anyone not named Eich, or Dahlin, is tradable. Duda has compared him to Patrick Sharp, who was a very good player and they do not just grow on trees. Samson is a very good winger and a 1st liner on just about every team in the NHL.

I think that works, but I'm no expert.

We live about 10 minutes from this University campus. Each morning and afternoon in the late fall through late spring we see the hundreds of crows flying by our house to and from their roost. https://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/this-halifax-neighborhood-is-known-for-a-murder-of-crows-bedford-basin-mount-saint-vincent-university/120618/ Simply amazing.

Side 1 of The Game is one of the best sides in all of music. The ordering of the tunes is awesome.

JUST BEAT THESE GUYS!! AVENGE PARK!! OK SWAMPD ... I WON'T CALL THEM ... (YOU KNOW WHAT)!! MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

You know what? I was thinking about it. No you're right. I brought that dastardly word with me when I signed up in September of 2011 ... right around the time that all the losing started.

#10? Do we have one of those? Anyway, I'm still not convinced.

Interesting development (?) ... maybe (?) ... https://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/mls-shortens-season-by-month-goes-to-all-knockout-playoffs-1.4949649 Does anyone really care?

Yup. I think that it's great that the Sabres have a player who's initials role off the tongue very nicly ... UPL is our very own OEL, but not from Sweden.

I know. How long have you known me? I'm not upset with him, or the team. This season has been magical and I certainly did not expect it and am enjoying every minute. That said, last night was pretty much a stinker and I don't appreciate the lack of effort, so I'm just venting a bit today. I will be over it soon enough. I have the dastardly bunch to think about now. MORE AVENGING OF PARK!!
