There was an article today in the Athletic about what happens between periods. Several players said teammates still smoke cigarettes between them. I would also guess at least 25% of the league vapes between periods. As far as boozing is concerned, what time did they fly out?

Whoops forgot the 12oz part. 6 $7.50 12oz beers rather than 3 $15 24oz beers.

***** right

I usually rationalize it as having 6 $7.50 beers since they’re usually 24oz.

Sabres start 2023 decidedly on the warpath. Six points out; three games in hand; 48 games left to play. Let’s go Buffalo!

I have two Christmas parties tonight during the game. Know when I don’t have any? Tomorrow at one.

Literally everywhere I’ve ever skated over the past 30 years up and down the east coast

Per the Athletic, the Sabres have the lowest home attendance % at 71.5% capacity. Relevant portion of article below: Buffalo Sabres: 3,533 fewer fans/game (20.6 percent decrease) The Sabres are one of the biggest fallers probably due to a combination of things. The biggest one: They’re just not that good (yet), and they haven’t been for some time. They’re in the midst of another rebuilding effort after selling off players like Jack Eichel, Sam Reinhart and Taylor Hall, among others. The Buffalo Bills being so good and commanding a lot of the attention likely hasn’t helped. And the KeyBank Center is pretty stale, too. We asked our Sabres writer, Matt Fairburn, for his take on the dip in attendance to ensure we weren’t way off here. “I think the season ticket base has also eroded over time. That’s made the prices on the secondary market higher because there aren’t as many fans just trying to unload tickets at any cost,” he said. “They sold out the Boston game and had big crowds a few other nights, including ’90s night against the Blues. But ultimately I just think them being so bad for so long has made people slow to buy in.” From 2006-07 to 2019-20, the Sabres were consistently an upper-tier attendance team with an average that never dipped below 17,000 fans. But their 71.5 percent capacity for home games this season is dead last in the league.

I’m not sure how Pats fans did 15+ years of a heavy prime time schedule. This ***** sucks, give me back sundays at one.

We look terrible

Dm me your weed guy

KA master plan: waste a year for “developement;” waste a year for “development;” draft Bedard; sign Kane; be a real hockey team

You’re basically describing Colorado. Mackinnon was drafted in 2013 after a 48 game season. We’re saying the same thing. We should have used the shortened season to kickstart out rebuild.

The appropriate time to start the rebuild was the lockout/Mackinnon year ala Colorado

Three teams below us can pass us with games in hand.

Sick goal

This anthem lady sucks

That was embarrassing

Face-offs are almost entirely related to NHL experience taking face-offs. We’ll be good when we have 2-3 years per center.

Need to bounce back in a big way. Why is last nights GDT locked?
