@Thorny you and math! LOL! No worries. I am that PLUS 7,665 days.

@Thorny, wait until you are 2x the young in's ages, you ain't seen nuthin' yet....

So just wondering. Should I have not put Olofsson and Bryon as "keepers" in my league?

Rationality is not common.

Agree, and would add that Sabres fans keep putting hearts into teams and players (we want to love them), followed by disappointment, and ultimately, playing with the Lottery simulators. I will not stop being a Sabres Fan, but I get the yo-yo-ing, to a point. Fans will fan, but one thing that is needed is some time for facts to be assessed (but again Fans gonna fan... so wind up your yo yos, here we go again tonight).

I like many have been a fan since I could watch (or listen to RJ) - for me in the early 70's. Here is da facts on SABRES franchise: Owners: 5 (not including 2003 NHL control after Rigas kerfuffle) GM's: 9 with longest tenured being (you guessed it) - Darcy w/ 16 yrs.. Coaches: 20 in 53 yrs. = 2.65 yrs. in the job on average - non sans Lindy for more than 268 games (Muckler). Playoff games: in 52 yrs. made playoffs in 29 of those yrs. = 255 post season games, or 4.9 games per post season - basically, knocked out in first round (4-1) on average. Alternately, if we only consider the years the Sabres made the playoffs (29 of 53 yrs), they played 8.8 games on average per post season, so made it to the 2nd round on average. Seasons missed playoffs: 23 of 52 years, and none in (all together now) 12 yrs... OK Spoony, what does this all mean? Let's ask Pat.

TONIGHT

We need The Bat-man.

You got game within the game during intermission. Not enough to talk about with Sabres tonight, and well. Isn't the hockey better Blue/Devil?!

Pigs be happy there. GOATS? GOATS evidently ok with laying down in slop.

Wait! What!? Credit alert! UPL played well?

Youngest team in league. Still early days. That said, GMKA is going to have to trade some of his favorite ‘pieces’ to get a few veteran difference makers at some point. IMO, Sabres need a few more veteran players who have won in the league. Need to use some chips from recent drafts while they are desirable. Not everyone can make the big club. This is what will determine how good of a GM he can be (make smart tough decisions). I don’t think we can truly assess Meatballs until he does.

He didn’t even get him from what I saw.

US fans only have NHLN option. Not everyone has NHLN as a streaming option. Remember this is the NHL, where we don’t believe in promoting our sport.

Remember: don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Yeah unfortunately & again. Let it be written let it be said. Goats have ‘em right where they want em.

Let the UPL hate commence. Not that he had a chance on either…

JOST: VO On the shelf, lookin’ for someone to pick him up.

@Slack_in_MA sorry you didn’t pick up on my sarcasm.

I say have JOKER go after Hathaway, who came after him Wed night! Heck JOKER runs 6'0" 183 cm 195 lbs 88 kg Hathaway (sister Anne?) a measley: :6'3" 191 cm, 210 lbs 95 kg What JOKER lacks in bulk, height, and his overall fist size, he will make up for in guile as he pulls on his dart! Book it Danno!

@bob_sauve28 You are correct sir! He wore his Roya Blues in practice.... Getting ready for tomorrow: Light em up boys!

@JustOneParade check your DMs.

Love the Love for UPL. Funny Southpark bit! BTW, I have been to the actual Southpark! https://www.colorado.com/articles/real-south-park-colorado
