"On Turning Ten" You tell me it is too early to be looking back, but that is because you have forgotten the perfect simplicity of being one and the beautiful complexity introduced by two. But I can lie on my bed and remember every digit. At four I was an Arabian wizard. I could make myself invisible by drinking a glass of milk a certain way. At seven I was a soldier, at nine a prince ‐---------------------------------------- Buffalo Sabres (11-15-4, in the Atlantic Division) vs. Toronto Maple Leafs (18-10-2, in the Atlantic Division) Toronto; Sunday, 5 p.m. EST Maple Leafs -202, Sabres +166; over/under is 6 BOTTOM LINE: The Buffalo Sabres, on a nine-game losing streak, take on the Toronto Maple Leafs.

I don't care if they "battled hard" Rob. This team is really pissing me off and that kind of crap makes it worse. I know you're paid by the team, but show some backbone and join us on the misery train. I want to love this team so bad. I've been here through all of it and this seems like a new low I didn't think they were capable of. I don't know this get fixed anymore

Teams are shooting like .750 on empty net attempts against us

1 SOG this period

Is that the booze talking?

More piss poor coverage in front of the net

All our PP does is give the other team's star offensive players 2 minutes of rest

Thanks Bowen. Glad I didn't have to watch the rest of that PP

Yay goal!

That scuffle will surely get the boys going, eh?

Nice coverage in front by Clifton

Is anyone still in the "this is the night they turn it around and start a run" crowd? I'd like any optimistic opinion because I am fully checked out.

I don't care if they lose 3-2, 1-0, 11-10. It all sucks just the same

Close I suppose

I'm really trying to wrap my head around something and it's really bothering me. It's messing with me and my anxiety is through the roof. Is this game going to end 2-0 or 3-0? Is there one empty net or two? Help me to understand!

I'm glad Greenway got the memo during his time out that we shoot directly into the crest

Kulich needs to sit too. Hotdoggin' way too many times

Nice save UPL! After one of the laziest turnovers by Power

Missing the net on a breakaway:

Darren Pang "I don't mind that call" when NAK clearly gets the stick slashed out of his hands
