We're playing Mo-re-ahhh? Kill 'em.

 

Or as Rob Ray will say, Muntree-all

I like the sign above the door. Pretty telling indication of Terry's groupthink philosophy. When you have that many keywords, do you have any? Dip once and end it!

#Sabres Interim Coach Ted Nolan says game time decision on John Scott. Also might keep lineup the same.

 

@BuffaloSabres

Miller to start tonight, Enroth will get a game this weekend, Nolan says. #Sabres

How about you dip how you wanna dip, and I'll dip how I wanna dip.

My Seinfeld watching comes in spurts. I'm back on it again. Last night I watched The Bris for the first time in years. Laughing out loud funny almost from beginning to end. One of the classics.

Fear leads to anger

Anger leads to hate

Hate leads to suffering

Teenager Mikhail Grigorenko (51.09%) is the only #Sabres player with more than 10 faceoffs taken and a better than 50% success ratio.

Grigorenko doesn't do anything good! He is a bust! Gosh 26CB you are ruining it!

 

In all serious, Grigorenko is looking better each game. Small steps.
