Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
I bet if you look you'll see that I was right once or twice too.

Admitted in the post. Pin it NOW, mods!
Sorry. Knee-jerk reaction on my part. The old superstitions die hard.
PS love the sig.
I recognize greatness when I see it.

I love you, man.

Hallelujah!!!
Yes!!!
What a frickin nightmare! The sun will rise tomorrow!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
The strife is o'er, the battle done;
the victory of shart is won;
the song of triumph has begun:
Alleluia!
The powers of Darcy have done their worst,
but Murray his legions hath dispersed;
let shouts of hockey joy outburst:
Alleluia!

Too soon. It's not the 11th yet.

I'll say this openly to any member of the Buffalo Sabres front office who might be listening. I wouldn't walk away from you after 40 years for one indiscretion. That would be like divorcing your wife after your first big fight. I promise you this, however: you pull this ###### again, and I am gone.
Dude, they just did it twice in a row.

Its not just because of the goal, but I think Grigorenko actually plays pretty well with Gionta on his line...better than with anyone else I have seen.
I also think there's some good chemistry between Foligno and Grigo.

McEichel is ours. :w00t:
...and that's pretty F'N Fantastic.

We will awake tomorrow. We will be friends. We will live in Hockey Heaven.
Nice sentiment, Eleven. Sig-worthy. Thanks.

Very nicely said, but FFS how may threads? I mean it!
All of them! There's a lot of venting and healing that needs to occur. Don't begrudge that.
I love you, man.

I love you all.

Dominant hand is usually on top. How do you sweep a broom if you're right handed?
Nope. I'm right handed, shoot right handed, and use my left hand on the top of a broom.

"Dr. Murray or: how i stop worrying and learned to love the tank"
Nice. Very nice.
-
me too. Eichel is what we won. McDavid is like a mythical unicorn to me
And I know everyone says McDavid is generational and Eichel is "merely elite" but I'm not so sure they're so far apart. I'll be more than happy with either one. One scored 4 goals tonight, the other won the Hobie Baker Award today. As a freshman.

Non-tank related observation: it was nice to see Grigs getting legit opportunities out there with the game on the line. I still don't want to trade him.
Agreed. If they get a good return, then maybe trade him, but I love the thought of him as a depth center. He's learning how to use those big bones of his and he has a lot more offensive polish than, say, Foligno.
Stayed away tonight to keep the thread pure.
I just want to say I love you all.
Yes, even you!
I love you too, man.

I'm just about as excited about
Although I question where all this effort was earlier in the season.
Don't you get it? DON'T YOU GET IT? They were tanking you fool! The tank was executed to perfection.
-
is it me, or did you hear it in his voice tonight that they wanted McDavid too?
Of course they did. But just like the rest of the team (they are employees of the Sabres after all), they had to perform the elaborate No Tank Kabuki Dance. It's great that they can relax now.

You may be frustrated with how long it took to wrap up McEichel, but they did it.
Two-plus years ago, it seemed the Sabres were only in a game if they started a fight early in the game. Even though they had more talent than this year's team, they sucked, they knew it, and they were still trying (feebly) to avenge the Lucic hit on Miller. It seemed like if the Sabres didn't get the other team off their game with some rough stuff, they were finished.
The problem was, they didn't react right at the time and you can't undo what's been done.
The only way to exorcise the demons, of course, was to blow it up.
There's been a lot of wailing and moaning about how long it took to wrap up the shart, but now that it's behind us, you have to admit that this is very, very different team than the one that allowed Miller to get run over. Hell, even LIndback plays the puck to dare the other team to hit him (and the Blue Jackets came at him tonight). The attitude on this team is radically different now.
There's very little chance Nolan will be around for a deep playoff run with the Sabres; his job is largely done. If he is here next year though, I'm okay with that. Whether he's here or not though, you have to admit that he did his job. This is a team that plays with a chip on its shoulder, and team that doesn't lay down. It would have been easy to just lose and guarantee McEichel much earlier, but the team played hard down the stretch. Now that it's over I don't hold it against the team. And after a proper Fan Appreciate Night, I don't think the team will hold it against the fans.
They were valiant in defeat tonight.
Their young core has grown a lot over the last few weeks.
Samson Reinhart will be fine.
McEichel is coming.
The complete and utter absence of quality centers is a thing of the past. In fact there will be competition at center.
The future's so bright, I have to wear shades.
Oh, and....
I love you all.

MCEICHEL IS OURS!!!!!

Gionta has to go. That little fugger has been the ringleader on getting back at the fans.
6th multipoint game in the last 9? I think you're right.

CBJ Back in the lead!

How can you be happy about this? This result of this game may have a significant impact on the Sabres for countless years. Being happy w/out a "McEichel" is just.....stupid.
Have you never seen that movie?
YES!

Not sure.... maybe Grigo is better centering that line.
