Regarding pulling the goalie, my wife asked me last night ‘Why do they keep doing that? It never works’. A team that is bad with the man advantage and awful at possessing the puck. In a more congested O-zone. What can go wrong?

Can’t do the strike thru on my phone. I’m sure you meant to type ‘year’.

The Sabres have me to the point where I look at a game like this and expect it to be a ‘get right’ game for Nashville.

Yep. Let him, and the team, determine where his development stands.

I think it was a couple things. Partly because the Bills started getting good again. And partly, I believe, because another Bills board shut down and the posters migrated over to TBD (Scott can possibly verify that). Used to read the board a lot but never posted and I recall things going a bit 'south' all at once. This (on SabreSpace) is a welcomed alternative to chat about the Bills. Let's face it, the Venn diagram of Sabres and Bills fans has a huge overlap.

He was not. A pretty big tell on the pending outcome. And I realize the winner is not revealed until awarded (sure 🙄) Congrats JA17. Well earned. Pretty much carried that team all year.

Who is she? (Certainly not complaining).

I'm seeing the game will be broadcast on NHL Network. Can anyone confirm? If so, it won't be on ESPN+. (And, like me, SOL if you don't get NHL Network).

Attending a funeral.

He sure won't be pointing at KA.

Is the any part of your (no one in particular) imagination where you can see the Sabres involved in a line brawl? Good on the Amerks.

I've gone through all of the analytics and have found the key indicator for the game Sunday. If we see a camera shot of Tay Tay five times or fewer during the game the Bills win. (as do the fans, BTW).

Because they still need to justify picking the Ravens but it was the Ravens fault they were wrong.

A medium-grade concern of mine is if Rapp can't go and Bishop takes his place. I view Rapp as an average safety and certainly not irreplaceable. But Andy Reid does to rookie safeties what McD does to rookie QB's.

I’m curious how folks would feel about the Bills chances if Henry goes for 112 yards on 23 carries tomorrow. Would you think the Bills did a credible job in run D? Those aren’t random numbers. It’s what Henry did week 4 excluding the awful double-blown assignment run when Henry went 73 yards untouched. And the Bills were without 2 starting linebackers, Taron, and a starting safety all game and the other safety most of the game. There are many ‘experts’ looking at that previous game and using it as the basis for tomorrow’s game. Apples and oranges.

As an add on, I recall the Bills had a prolific offense during that OJ period ('73-'75?) but couldn't stop anyone. One (?) year the Bills missed the playoffs and I looked at the game by game scores at season's end. Had the Bills given up exactly 30 points every game they would have made the playoffs. Crazy but they were entertaining to watch for sure.

Wow! I remember watching that game. It was fantastic. Was away just starting my sophomore year in college watching MNF football with a few of my friends from WNY. Maybe the most memorable part for me was that we went out AFTER the game. Now, if the Bills aren't playing, I'm typically asleep by halftime. My how things change over the years.

I don’t think it’s crazy at all. The Ravens are the worst matchup for the Bills of all the remaining playoff teams.

Where have we seen this picture before in the playoffs? Minimal seconds left. Opponent needs a big play to get into scoring position. McD calls time out to set his defense. Opponent converts big play for field goal attempt. Fortunately it was doinked. Infuriating.

Those are the plays this defense is supposed to eliminate.

Just got back from the liquor store. I was inexplicably out of Buffalo Trace. A guy in the store sees my Bills shirt and gives me the side-eye, dismissive smirk. Me: “Is there a problem?” Him: “You guys suck. Gonna lose today” Me: “What time do the Pats play today?” Him: walks away quietly. Such is the life of Bills faithful in Pats land. Go Bills!!

Just saw that Kyle Williams will be the 'Legend of the Game' on Sunday. Can't imagine what the energy in that stadium will be like by kickoff. KW was one of my all-time favorite Bills.

But we all know it won't, amirite?

That’s KA’s MO right? Get rid of the one guys that’s doing things right on a consistent basis for a couple chances on guys who might 4 or 5 years from now. As has been stated by many here, we need more Jason Zuckers, not fewer.

I was hoping they wouldn't pull any of these guys into this tire fire. But I suppose Levi won't want to wait until he's 28 years old for a permanent call up.
