  3. GDT- Buffalo Sabres @ Detriot Redwings, 11/15 7pm ESPN

    in The Aud Club

    Posted · Edited by Doohickie

    So just watched the highlights.  Happy to see the Sabres pulled out a win.  I was at a play with my wife (who is a Red Wings fan).  I checked before the play started and the Wings were up 4-1 so I gave up on the game and enjoyed the play.  At the end of the intermission, I got back from the restroom and my wife said, "DON'T GLOAT."  I had no idea what she was talking about so I checked the score.... nice surprise.

    The play we saw was & Juliet.  It reimagined would have happened if she hadn't killed herself at the end of the play.  It was very "meta"; William Shakespeare was one of the characters.  The play broke the fourth wall a lot and Shakespeare even became a character in his own play.  Hard to follow at first but once it got going and I understood how surreal it was going to be, I enjoyed it a lot.

    The play was in Bass Hall in Fort Worth, a gorgeous theater.

    And Carolina must be doing well too.  Wouldn't be surprised if he plays the best hockey of his life with that weight taken off his shoulders.

    Pure speculation:  I wonder if maybe she had a follow-up surgery or some other procedure and he felt he needed to be there for her.  The procedure went well, she recovered and it's time to return.  If it was known ahead of time and there was significant risk involved, it could have been why it was affecting his play earlier, and why he's all smiles now.

    they apparently didn't give Ullmark the support he felt he needed.  

    That's not the way it's portrayed in this article on NHL.com:

    The [Sabres] organization had been a haven for him around his father's death, allowing him to take every bit of time he needed. It had felt safe, a cocoon in a life and career that had gone topsy-turvy at times.

    The Sabres Organization’s support and actions for Dahlin and His Family throughout this entire process more likely to lead to him not asking out.

     

    Yes of course.  We saw what a difference it made in retaining Ullmark when they allowed him to take a leave when his father died.

    Idc what you call it. Buffalo is currently near the bottom of the eastern conference and if the draft were right now they'd draft 9th overall. Glad we won, we aren't good enough and Kevyn should add to the team. 

    If you think of this season so far as two seasons, the Sabres got 0.000 standings points in the first 3 games.

    In the last nine games they got 13 / 18 possible points, or 72.2%.

    If the last nine games are what the Sabres really are, the get 72.2% of 158 possible points (164 total, minus 6 for the 3 game losing streak to start the season).  That is a 114 point season.

    Are they the team that lost three at the start?  Hopefully not anymore.  Are they the team that got 13 points in their last 9 games?  I find it hard to believe they will sustain that pace to be honest, but if they're more like the team of the last 9 games and less like the team of the 3 game start, the Buffalo Sabres will be in the playoffs.

    I said it earlier:  The 0-3 start lit a fire under them.  They started out behind, but they rose to the challenge (so far) and have played good hockey since then.  Hopefully they fully overcome the slow start, and the Sabres that accomplish that are the Sabres we see for the rest of the season.

    Of course another 3 game pointless streak would wash all that down the drain.  But I'm optimistic.  The team is playing better as a team than they have in recent seasons.

    @LGR4GM was right.  And I was so foolishly optimistic.
