Your on fire tonight.

They just went toe to toe with one of the biggest cup favorites in the league....on a back to back with the road team sitting there waiting....with some injuries on the back end including playing with 5 D (two of which have less than 30 games nhl experience). I was worried we were going to get blown out but easily could have won and got a point. Huge heart they showed imo.

Thanks guys, guess I should have read on. Bad enough without McCabe. We need Risto.

Did I miss something? Where in the he'll is Risto?

God *****! Just found this out....

I was really thinking about it but if this results in another terrible season for you then I donno....hahhahah

Is Pilut still up? We starting Hunwick over Pilut?

Ya I saw ur at the top. Going to be a tight finish. Good luck to all.

Ok, I don’t wanna get sucked into this. But weren’t you the one that stated during the Kane trade rumours that basically all, or most of the analysts comments are garbage? It’s basically them trying to stir up webpage hits and get people talking. You commented how they basically don’t say anything. I started reading insider info closer and you were damn right. Now this is what your using as evidence that the blues just wanted to dump these guys? I don’t understand why you take the ROR trade almost personally. I wanted ROR when we got him as much as anybody. But we did jack ***** with him. He’s gone and the sabres lead the nhl in points and the blues are a damn tire fire.

So.....10 in a row eh? Good friggen lord.......

Yep. Me too. Man those names take me back.....great seeing guys like rick Shaw and others come back with this win streak. I think that's the best aspect of the streak.

Very true. I would almost throw Girgs in that statement as well. The improvement from those two from last year is night and day.

User name checks out.

In hindsight the pick should have been Sergachev. But I get that is hindsight and it's not an easy process drafting these kids.

EXGMTM was brought in mainly due to his eye for the draft. Still early but his drafts are just looking mediocre. Wouldn’t it be ironic if JBotts knocked his first draft out of the park? Still very early but some encouraging signs from the later round picks.

He sure was. I was in Ottawa for game 2 where he got crushed and his career was never the same again.

Thanks everyone. Some I’ve met in person at the meet ups and some I’ve just spoken to on here. But I’ve been a member for more than a decade and you guys feel like family. I appreciate the thoughtful words. If you could keep me in your prayers the next litttle bit I would appreciate that.

I’ve been diagnosed with a serious health issue. Would like to keep details private but having a tough time right now. I’ve been posting less as life is taking precedence. Enjoy life and health and don’t sweat the small stuff. Hopefully with time things will improve for me. I love this corner of our internet and will still be popping in from time to time for a welcomed distraction.

That’s reasonable for ppr. Hey, I’m gonna get to two wins! Yay!

Nobody concerned about all that playoff experience?

I'm sick of losing tight games. Honestly my team does not deserve the record I have.

Read through this brutal thread. Just pointing out that Swamp, JJ and Randall were the positive voices within. What a bizarre start to the season. Can only go up from here I guess. My thoughts: Sabres were bad. Too many blind drop passes that were clearly not working. They didn't look good on the first PP but I think this is a team that kind of lives and dies on special teams still. Going 0-2 and giving up a shorty will make it difficult for them to overcome most the year I think. Many negatives already thrown out (deservedly so) but a few small positives go to the rookies. I though Mitts had a pretty good game and with confidence and some strength should be a good one. I also thought Dahlin played well. Quiet type game but watching some replays on the outlet passes and small things he does well it is evident he should also be a very good one (this season).

Wow. Baptiste surprises me.

My thoughts from the game: *laser seeing eye shots from both Nelson and Dahlin on their goals *Dahlin is so cool to watch. He just makes so many subtle passes and plays that are always on the tape *Thompson looked like one of the best sabres out there to me. Wins many puck battles and has a heck of a shot *Nylander played alright. Was noticeable. *mitts gave the puck away a few times and got manhandled along the boards. I don't know if he's ready quite yet to be honest. *Hutton was pretty strong despite giving up 4 goals *skinner was first star and rightfully so. He was all over the place and the skill set he has is very evident. He and Sam had some nice chemistry *overall a really fun second period and we got on the jumbotron with the kids dancing. Looking forward to the season. Go Sabres!!

I saw ?
