We had an antenna on the roof and if the wind was blowing just right, we'd get stations out of Toronto and St. Catherines (?). I still remember watching Hockey Night in Canada with Brian McFarlane and Howie Meeker back in the early/mid 70s. I still love that theme song to this day!

I was watching the guys on the NHL Network when they showed that goal, and they were killing the Sabres over their mental mistakes. It's to the point where they sound like they actually pity the team. Sofa King Embarrassing.

So who is it we're hoping to land with this tank job? This IS a tank job, right???

Bad goaltending is so deflating, especially when you start to show signs of life offensively. ☹️

I stand corrected!

Who are these guys and what have they done with our Sabres?!?!

Is that you Ralph? I mean Justin. Er...I mean...

Die hard Sabres fan, but I’m not gonna lie, living here in northeastern Mass where all their games are on, I admire the way the Bruins play. I watched some of the recent games against the Caps, and compared to recent Sabres games, the difference was, um... stark. Night and day. It was like watching playoff hockey.

Yep. Baby steps!

Hall tripped on the blue line. Can’t make this stuff up.

Anyone know if the infallible system Ralph is teaching is being executed with success by another NHL team?

A few thoughts: 1. Re: the statistical references, let's remember Einstein's quote that "Not everything that can be counted matters, and not everything that matters can be counted". 2. To me, it's not so much that Cozens actually fought as it is that he demonstrated ANY edgy physicality. We're so used to a passive, non-physical, non-intimidating style that an actual FIGHT is this shocking. 3. My observation is that most teams that make it deep into the playoffs are physical, edgy teams. Not brawlers. But they don't let you skate around without having your head on a swivel. That's still the way professional hockey is played. Until the NHL changes, to be competitive I think we have to have that edginess. See point #2 above.

Out of sympathy?

What does that say about the core players? Ugh.

FWIW, just now, when asked directly whether Jack was playing with an injury, RK unequivocally said no.

nm... they updated it. As you can tell, I'm following online.

NHL.com giving the goal to Dahlin.

Japanese stock market?

Death spiral.

Time to drill another well, Terry!

Anyone else hear the guys on NHL Network ripping them for that goal?
