Thanksgiving break started one hour ago! Have a total of 9 days off. Now this is one fantastic Friday!!!

Ha Almost spit coffee out of my mouth when reading that! Caught me off guard. Well played.

Why? Because his trade value may still be high? I can understand that, but I'm still pulling for the guy. He's not pulling a Leino or Hodgson. Things will begin to play out. And when they do it'll benefit the Sabres.

Ha That was funny. But hey, if it works.... :unsure:

Haven't read the thread. If it hasn't been mentioned, both teams are struggling to score goals. Sabres are on pace for its 3rd worst scoring season in franchise history. Hopefully Kane's return can turn things around.

Thoughts and prayers to Flutie and his family. Really goes to show how special life is and how thankful we should be for every day we have w/ our loved ones.

Can't review if a player was offsides in the NFL. Ball has to be snapped first. Puck has to cross the blueline first. What's the difference? If the NFL isn't dumb enough to review offsides, why should the NHL?

Crazy thing is Rob Ray seemed to support it last night. Joking around about what were players "true" stats back in the day. He never mentioned anything negative about the rule. Granted, I was in and out of the room when he spoke of it, so maybe I did miss something. This is a new tactic for all coaches to use after a goal is scored. Immediately talk to the boys upstairs and see if there is a chance of the play being reversed due to offsides. Used to brag how hockey is fastest moving sport. How it can literally go minutes w/out stoppage in play. Now that's all beginning to fade away. Way to go any and all involved w/ the addition of this ridiculous coaches challenge.

When watching a Bills a game and there's a long td, one of the first things to rush into my head is a please no flag. Now when watching a Sabres game, it's a please no offsides.

Has been said over and over, but the coaches challenge is hurting the game. 3 times now against the Sabres? Give me a break.

Any of you ever get this message on a roku when attempting to watch a channel you're subscribed to? "HDCP unauthorized. Content disabled." Got it on my roku 3 when trying to watch Netflix, Gamecenter, etc.... This occurred out of the blue. Have been using a roku 3 for a while. The problem was corrected by unplugging the tv and roku, and flipping the HDMI hookup around.

Great work, Wildcard. So Bo is a go tonight? Very happy if he is.

Watched the Pats come back and beat the Giants. Had the same reaction I assume many had as the field goal snuck it's way in to put the Pats in the drivers seat. And that reaction was simply a you know what. Have high hopes the Bills can pull of a W on Monday Night Football. One, to keep the Bills in the wildcard race. Two, to take away the Pats attempt at a perfect season. How sweet it would've been had the Giants pulled it off last night. They were the team that pulled it off a few years ago in the Super Bowl. But like a few of you have said, w/ the Pats winning they may play a bit softer against the Bills. I'm not talking by choice. Just more of a hey this is routine attitude. Bills may off pull the upset, but to do it they have play aggressive. Go w/ an all or nothing type of play. Maybe try to set a franchise record for blitzing.

I play games on the PS4 and Wii U. Have a PS3, but she has been retired. And bingo on the developers taking advantage of the consumers. That's why I'm considering waiting a year on Fallout 4. Always prefer to have a complete game. Yet, I can already see myself giving in and picking up Fallout 4 around Christmas. Want to play that game a lot! Very, very tempting. There are other games out or soon to be released that can hold me over though that will need little to no updates. Unfortunately there are not many rpg's, my favorite type of game, but plenty of games in general to keep me satisfied. Current game I'm enjoying is one I unintentionally waited on and that is Destiny Taken King. Has the original game, two expansions and The Taken King. It's a game I've lost track of time when playing. I highly recommend this game to those that have yet to play it. Side note, if any of you have a PS4 and enjoy playing online games, send me your gamer tag. It'd be fun to play games w/ fellow Sabres fans. Battle Front 3 looks umm....scary good. And I just noticed an expected, rather costly update to be released Q1 of 2016. $50 for a season pass. Includes many additions, but that may keep me away from Battle Front 3. :(

Fallout 4 seems to be a must buy/play. Have a question for you guys. Many adventure type games, Oblivion, Skyrim and Dragon Age, have a game of the year edition released roughly 1 year later w/ all dlc included and most bugs worked out. What do you normally do? Go w/ the original and purchase dlc when available or wait for it all to be on one disc? Alright fellas, fire away. Would really like to hear opinions from fellow Sabres fans.

Sorry MODO, I was also hoping for an Ullmark start. Still excited for the game though!

A credible site called leftwing lock has Johnson confirmed as the starter. The site was wrong on a Johnson/Ullmark call earlier this season. So there may be chance Ullmark will play.

:doh: Didn't catch the source. Ha Ha Glad I wasn't the only one to fall for it. Well played Sizzle.

Please tell me you're kidding on Bogosian going down.

Awesome! Glad you get a chance to watch it. What time will it be where you live when the game starts?

Very true. And you'd think w/ what went down yesterday the media would be saying this is the second terroristic attack in two days.

"Beirut suicide bombings kill 43; suspect claims ISIS sent attackers" This happened on Thursday. Anyone else know of this? I'll admit I just found out.

Goes to show former great players are not guaranteed to be quality coaches or gm's.

Kane having to watch the games may actually benefit him. Helping him understand he can let others carry puck and set things up for him. Kind of realizing his teammates are capable of working the "1-2's."

Haven't read most of this thread, but isn't it true Colorado may be parting ways w/ Duchene via trade before his contract closes out? Talk about an f up by Colorado management if that is true. To think Statsny, O'Reilly and and Duchene gone w/ possibly little to show for it. Just thought O'Reilly wasn't kept in town to help ensure Duchene remains in Colorado.
