Sabres Fan in NS

Hold the fort guys and gals, NS out, but I may check in from time to time ...

? It's been 8 weeks now. I completely forgot about it until I just realized it's Friday.

I hear you. Thanks. You know what though, this GDT title is not me. The Dastardly Flyer (although liger beat me to it, but he adjusted his title), The Snarks and the Lightning GDTs ... those titles are me.

Guys and gals, I just took a look at the schedule and I reserve the right to go back to my more flamboyant GDT titles for that afternoon. Kay?

This is the right way to look at the loss last night, IMO. The winning goal was scored with less than 6 minutes left in the third, IIRC. The Sabres had the lead earlier in the third, but gave up the tie-er-up-er on a Stamkos PP slapper (?). Not to shabby at all really. On the road. Against the best and most balanced team in the Conference, if not the League. The Sabres went into Tampa and said ... bring it on. The Lightning did and the Sabres very nearly came out of it with a win, or at least, a tie.

I think your sarcasm metre needs a tune-up. (insert winkie-winkie thingie here)

Really. I mean, what has he done for us lately?

Which him. I posted about Pysyk and Weegar? Hopefully that awfulness trend continues tonight.

Tells Phil to keep playing him?

No. The Sabre brass banned such 'anti-celebrations', along with the equally 'anti-celebratory' 'Vanek face'.

I understand your trepidation (sp?), but I have the exact opposite feeling. The Sabres come out flying and win going away in a statement game. 5 - 1 final. A hatty for Eich and a 'Miller shutout' for Ullie.

This can't be right, right?

It's nice to see Pysyk on the second pairing. Is that real, or just the state of the Panther roster. I always liked him and thought of his as a good second pair guy eventually. Also, very nice to see a Moosehead alum, Weegar, on the third pairing. He was drafted in the 7th round in 2013 after playing a big role in Halifax winning the Memorial Cup that spring. Good for him, as he has seemed to have found a home on the Panther blueline.

Thank you, good sir. I'm fine. No worries at all. I, strangely, feel well rested after such a fitful night. I even missed the game. I got a bounce back notice on that letter. Must have had one letter off. My wife sends her best regards, but it's cold in California this morning. Much Love, NS Fantastic. I hope I didn't make them cry. Awesome!!

One track mind ... mine, that is. I'm glad you caught me and not SDS. LOL!!

No. That's not my style and not worth the effort. The reaction you all saw in the thread was it. Nothing more. I understand and appreciate your posting style Inky, but that last point is over the line, IMO, and not needed. You are a veteran of this place and have a lot of good to give and you have, but this was not your finest hour, again IMO.

Nashville lost last night to the hounds of the desert. They will be pissed.

Sorry, man. I am up and at tit pretty early these days. By 6:00 AM here, which is 5:00 AM in Buffalo. Feel free to add what you were going to put in your opening post. Thanks for bumping up your awesome video of your trip. I plan to take a break today to watch it again. No beer. though, but probably coffee. I suppose it's a bit early for you to be ready. In case you missed it, SDS has asked us very nicely to not bypass the bad word filter, by adjusting letters and such. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

WOW!! Just wow.

Correct. At your service.

The Sabres make their way acrost and down the state of Florida for a tilt with the Panthers. Let's start a new streak guys. We will see what these guys have on a back-to-back after a tough loss. I would think that we shall see Ullie. Not sure of TV, but I am sure it will be on a radio, or satellite, near you. MUST WIN!! GO SABRES!!

Well, no one expected that they would win them all. They played pretty well. Certainly well enough to lose to a great team on a goal late in the third. It seems that for the first time in the 10 game WS the goalie did not come to their rescue, but that could not continue. We will get them next time. I look forward to the next winning streak. A dose of reality is good. And chz and Inky ... message received.

Yikes. Too late. It was the last one. Double yikes. Your mother sounds like mine. I, like yourself, aren't dead yet.

How are things? Any update?

Never have and I am not planning on starting any time soon.
