No wonder everyone grew up a drunk in Buffalo: Champagne for only $1.39???

If they sign Bryson I would hope they do it with less than the qualifying amount.

Because he's always hurt. We all know defense is a brutal position to play, and I think the 7/8 are pretty important. I can see upgrading (Roy in place of Joker sounds good), but I also like Bryson and Johnson being ready to step in when the injuries happen. I kind of hope we can keep them both. I don't think we've seen Johnson's upside yet, and Bryson proved in his late season stint that he's finally grown into the steady defenseman role.

....always something there to remind me... 😕

For a 1-1 game, there's a lot of action and excitement. That shot by Barkov went of the shaft of the goal stick before hitting the crossbar.

Bob made a pretty good save there.

I have to say... I kind of like Evan Rodrigues.

I tend to agree with you, but....

Playoff officiating.

Rangers are 23-1 with Rempe in the lineup. Now that's quite impressive. Kulikov making his physical presence felt for the Cats.

My thought exactly.

Lol. I slept from the first intermission to about 3 minutes left in the second period. I win! 😄 I want to see the Sabres play that style. All those young legs oughta be able to pull it off.

Tchachuk puts Florida up. 1-0

Isn't that just mayo with relish mixed in? Basically tartar sauce?

Get yer mind outta the gutter... ...even if I put it there.

Well I live here now, I see it on the local media. And their broadcast crew is pretty okay. Darryl Reaugh (spelling?) is a good color analyst. I kind of like the Red Wings too because I lost track of NHL hockey during my young adult years. When I moved to Detroit in 1991 the Wings brought me back. I was a big Red Wings fan when they won it in 1997 and 1998. Because of the Cup wins we got NHL Center Ice when we moved back to Texas which opened the door to me rekindling my love of the Sabres. And whoever I'm bandwagonning on is up there. So it's Sabres Red Wings Panthers (this year... that can change at the drop of a hat) Stars. I guess The Stars are basically a "friends with benefits" team: I'll spend an evening with them but there's not really a strong emotional attachment.

I live in the DFW area. Still hate the 'Boys, but realistically Jerry Jones has just about alienated the fan base here. The Stars... eh. They're probably my third or fourth favorite team. I don't hate them anymore.

Of course he is, but when I talked to him about that goal he was pretty sheepish about it.

Asplund may be on the roster but he won't get the Cup unless he actually sees the ice. He hasn't skated in an NHL game this season.

No Goal was on the officiating, not on the Stars.

A not unreasonable take. I would say he needed to get out from under Eichel to unlock that level.

Baby steps, grasshopper. Playoffs this coming year. Cup next. 😄 A friend here in Fort Worth posted a video of the Bandits win on FB. The crowd was loud and enthusiastic. I pointed out that you don't see crowds like in Fort Worth at an NLL game. Buffalo drew six times more fans than Fort Worth this season (Fort Worth population is just about a million people without suburbs and without the rest of the DFW area). I also commented that in all fairness, most of those Buffalo fans would rather be at a Sabres playoff game.

...but then you're picking glass out of your car for years. My son has a rider on his insurance that covers keys locked in car. He got the locksmith over a couple weeks ago. Didn't cost him anything out of pocket. (A few hours later I found the keys under his bed. 😮 )
