  1. The team is all imprisoned in the most convoluted scheme of rebuilding: poor hockey, injuries, and no puck luck. Enter Quinn: Columbus 10-22 and Buffalo 13-19. It's a matchup of two bad teams. (And just one more win by Ottawa this season (in a complete tailspin and coach-firing) and the matchup of Sabres/Jackets is between the two teams with the lowest points per game/winning % in the conference.)
  2. If you want Benson to be in the Calder-running, just keep him in Skinner's spot, including on PP1. 40 games with TNT and Tuch (provided they regain health) will get Benson into the top-3 in voting.
  3. It’s a crying shame to see the Cowboys get obliterated. Pour it on, Bills!
  4. Not bad for a little furball.
  5. Have a seat next to ol' GM Sheevyn. Let's rap. Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Pegulas the Wise? Hmm. I thought not. It's not a story the 'Spacers would tell you.... Oh, oh, rational? My mistake. Carry on.
  6. That certainly looked like the second night of a back-to-back (and 3rd in 4) where the first night you went up against the best team in the league, got knocked around a bunch by a physical crew, but came out victorious and were living care free the next day.
  7. It should not be up to the rookie WHLer to be the person to drive the net and force a scrum. No consistency. This team is an 82-point mess until they learn that in their top 6 (and replace half the bottom 6 with hungry players).
  8. It should be 1-0 and the extra attacker would matter.
  9. How can you spell Holzinger wrong, MSG? what the hell!
  10. I still think Joker will be a good player when he’s 27+ years old. But this team needs a grizzled top four 26+ year-old right now.
  11. But they should have done that in the summer with UFAs.
  12. It may not be an NHL arena, but the Mullett arena tv view is nice and high but still intelligible. That’s nice. It’s a good tv view.
  13. Marty is lookin’… frosty. It’s a good look.
  14. Signing on. All wings report in! Sabre Ebriate standing by.
  15. Who's in goal tonight? Sabres goalie splits in December: Levi 3-0-1 .942sv% 1.71 GAA UPL 0-2 .879sv% 3.57 GAA Comrie 0-2 .841sv% 5.08 GAA
  16. We did. I checked my phone as the party was winding down... this morning I was looking forward to seeing a slick Power goal in the highlights... Keep doing the good work, ESPN!
  17. Tagebacca, lock in the auxiliary power. Lock in the auxiliary power! Exactly. That’s just to get back into contention. Then, they need to sustain 6-4 every 10 thereafter.
  18. It’s possible, however unlikely, they might find a weakness in the opposition and exploit it. Really, this team would need a 15-5 run to get back into the running, and then maintain a playoff pace the rest of the way. The only way they’re getting this type of run is with some sort of galvanizing event. Capital E Event. Tage goes off (back-to-back hat tricks), they wear the goatheads each game, Quinn returns and is a point-per-game and ignites the power play to a 23%+ for the rest of the season, Levi puts up back-to-back shutouts followed by .930sv% hockey the rest of the way, or they get some sort of team-uniting line brawl where they win some fights and have each others’ back and realize they don’t have to take bantha fodder from anybody. Or they fire the coaches.
  19. Will the Sabres start the game by skating fast, throwing at least one body check that gets the bench buzzing, and getting a high-quality save within the Knights’ first few shots? Or will they start skating about 13 minutes into the game and already trailing by 2 where they’ve hung their starter out to dry and look like they haven’t practiced their power play atoll? I won’t know, because I’ve got my wife’s company holiday party to go to tonight. Carry on the good fight against Jackikin Eichwalker and his new Empire, ‘Spacers!
  20. With Skinner out, put the kid on the top line and see how it goes. Maybe his all-around game will help them give up fewer odd-man rushes (though he is still prone to rookie penalties).
  21. Murray's going to stand in front of the crease on PP1 and lead this team to the verge of the playoffs.
  22. I care. But if something else is going on that day/night, it's becoming easier and easier to float away with the rest of the garbage.
  23. I want him to outscore Patrick Kane the back half of the season. (and I hope by about 35, nay, 55 points.)
