El Nino, not La Nina. Totally different It was warmer in Buffalo believe it or not

Make the world a better place, punch Brad Marchand in the face.

Strong El Nino effects this year

"Gimme back my son!"

Fun note...those "old" movie clips in Home Alone were not from a real movie but made only for that movie.

Yup. At this time of year every win is tough. No game is "easy" regardless of opponent or circumstances Yup. At this time of year every win is tough. No game is "easy" regardless of opponent or circumstances

Really 4, which should have happened as they had 2 breakaways and a 2-1 in OT that was stopped and then the rebound to Tuch for a wide open shot was stopped. 4 chances where the likelihood of them scoring would be in the 70+% range for each of them and they scored on none of them. Gotta score when you have that many easy chances to win.

Nice comeback from a 2-0 deficit to get a point. Sabres had a multitude of great chances to end the game including 2 straight up breakaways by Tuch(shorthanded late in regulations) and Mittelstadt and another great chance or two from point blank range. Gotta finish those chances. Get a point tho and keep stacking.

Apparently he hasn't spent much time watching the Carolina Panthers or NY Jets.

Bills at the sports bar and probably checking in on Sabres every so often

We need a version of Chris Drury here. Could you imagine what would have happened in that locker room the next day after a game like they had against Columbus? The entire team would have been afraid to even come to the rink to practice the next day. Probably wouldn't have been able to sleep because they would have been scared to death. He would have chewed up and spit out the entire team and they would all looked around and have been like "guess we better get our sh!t together" Until we have a captain where the kids are too afraid to come to work unprepared and trade in their gatherings at each other's houses playing Call of Duty for watching game film to prepare, it won't be consistent enough.

They seem to have come up with a game plan to go back to more of their high flying ways from last year and let the chips fall as they may while working on the defensive game as needed. Sign me up for that. I can at least watch that team and they can outscore a lot of the opposition.

This team is clearly capable of that...too often they choose not to. Last year would be a better one to look at...they were elite on the road, this year they are kinda not great in either place.

I'd like our chances to outscore teams enough to win more than we lose. It happened last year and we would have made the playoffs if they didn't puke all over themselves at home.

That style would have made the playoffs if they simply wouldn't have sucked so bad on home ice. That should be an advantage not a hindrance.

Maybe they should do it for themselves.

You know what would sell tickets? Playing at home like they did tonight more often than they play like did against Columbus. That would be a good start. This is not some bottom feeding team devoid of talent that needs a name player so fans will come. This is a highly talented team that simply needs to get their collective heads out of their @sses most nights and play up to their potential.

Can someone please give this Bi-Polar Team their meds before the game on Saturday? Also the best forward without the puck. At 18, a little over 20 games into his NHL career. Extremely impressive.

Yup, they simply either don't think they have to work hard in those games or don't bother preparing mentally because they think it will be a cake walk. Really no excuse for it. Clearly they have enough talent to have a much better record than they do, they simply don't have the will to have one.

They can be a top 3 team in the division if they actually are serious about it and people are willing to do the work to make it happen. They can't if they allow this to simply be a good game and go back to their old ways again.

Would probably end 4-1 Sabres...for whatever reason we just have the Leafs number most games.

Unlikely to be every night but can we at least not go from amazing to horrible like we are a BiPolar Hockey Team?blockquote widgetlockquote widget

Skinner!! Can we get to 10??

The Mighty Quinn!!!

C'mon Tage...gotta have better awareness of game situations there...Toronto doing nothing and mostly back on their heels still and you have a needless giveaway trying to be cute coming out of your zone that leads to a 2 on 1 and some scrambly play and now an O Zone faceoff... No need to do that...know when to take chances and when to make the simple plays that are the smart ones. I mean, that's how they do it against good teams...then we play mediocre and bad teams and play like hot garbage.
