End of 1 and we are not down 2-0. Baby steps.

Look up "Johnny Carson sis boom bah" in the web browser of your choice or go to YouTube and search for "sis boom bah carnac". If you can, find the 6:53 version that is the entire skit for context. Seriously, it is worth you time. Addendum: in 8th grade, I went out as Carnac the Magnificent on Halloween. Come to think of it, in 9th grade, I went out as John Belushi's samurai, complete with gi and sabre.

Maybe, but those who know will get it.

Sis. Boom. Baah.

Matt Ellis was often a more competent NHLer than the Sabres had on their 3rd line for the last 12 years. The Sabres need to improve to be the Matt Ellis of NHL franchises.

Isn't that damning them with very faint praise? I am impatient because I think that this team, as constituted, should be somewhere around 8th in the conference. Because they are not close, I infer that the problem is the coaching. In particular, I see specialist issues, which point at the assistants. They could change the coaches at any time.

This team is young, but it is not inexperienced. There are no excuses for the continued basic defencive lapses in their own zone or lack of creativity in the design of the power play. They need better assistants and should look at the recent firings as a place to start.

Here, everyone tried him as a workhorse defenceman rather than looking for how to place him situationally. Philly looked at him more realistically.

I was not aware of that. Thanks!

Welcome to the board! The elevation of Appert over the assistants is clear proof that management thinks very little of HCDG's assistants. It appears to also be an indication of the quality of coaches willing to come to Buffalo.

We are not down 2-0 at the end of 1. Who had that on their bingo card?

I heard that water is wet, too.

Is there a FanDuel bet on the Sabres being down 2-0 in the first period?

Imagine if we had spent that money wisely.

Thanks. And with VO doing a lot of pine-riding, that is about $11M being frittered away.

So now how much in 1-way contracts will be in Rochester? Imagine that being spent on the big club.

Sad that we are cheering that.

Much as I like Greenway's play, an underrated mistake over the summer was slotting him at 3LW. Ideally, he should be a 4LW. That could have forced Krebs to Rochester to work on his offencive game.

Start with 2 games. We can discuss how things get done after that.

You must be using a definition of "smug" that is not found in my internet search.

If we had a heart emoji, I would give you one.

I need some aspirin for the headache that this team gave me.

This team needs better pro scouts.

If Danger Mouse is fired, what happens to Colonel K and Penfold?
