Doohickie

Tonight's game looked like an NHL team taking it easy on an AHL team, but still beating them handily. The Sabres looked they played at 80% most of the night.

+/- leader on the team for the game: Lil J.

Suddenly... Luukkonen!

Vlasic with an Owen Power Special there.

He's just a punk isn't he? ❤️

Because even toddlers know not to do what Dahlin did. I've seen it called before.

What a chickensh!t penalty.

Miserable warriors.

WHAT KIND OF A MONSTER PUTS PINEAPPLE ON A PIZZA? Trade Rasmus NOW, for a bag of pucks if need be.

...and just like that the cold snap left Texas.

Let's just say his girlfriend will be very happy with the transplant he received from the donor donkey.

A bit early to call him a reliable starter but the returns lately are promising.

Great. Another Bog of Eternal Stench thread.

If it's been going on for years, I think that would be considered "sticking".

Use whatever nickname you want, as long as it's clear who you're talking about.

It was symbiotic. And it was a one-time deal. With other quarterbacks he has a 83-104 record. He made Brady, but Brady also made him. Without Brady he has not been a good coach.

I (think) I saw a change of direction when the ball neared the helmet.

I've seen odds at 50-50 that put Belichick into the head coaching spot in Dallas next year. That would be a disaster for the Cowboys on two fronts: Belichick would demand far more team control than Jerry Jones would give them. Oh the drama that would produce. Belichick is only Belichick because he had Brady. Dak is not Brady and it would further expose Belichick as a mediocre coach who won only because he had a superstar QB. And yes, congrats to the Lions. Apparently the last time they won was when I lived in Detroit, many, many, many years ago.

The Sabres have won a playoff game more recently than the Dolphins. Chew on that.

It appeared that the ball touched the receiver's helmet as he fell out of bounds, thus the ball was out of bounds at that point. I never saw a definitive view of that, but there were a couple of views that "suggested" that. I believe they called that one as out of bounds to begin with, so evidence to overturn needed to be indisputable. From what I saw, there was reasonable reason to dispute.
