Can't have enough characters on a hockey team.

Mike Harrington ‏@BNHarrington24m

Was told by others who covered him 2 watch Konopka in warmups because he patrols the red line. He's stretching right by it staring at Devils

Someone needs to tell the moron he just got picked off waivers by the worse team in hockey.

[SwampD]

Okay. As much as I like the thirds, I have to agree with others who have said that the gray is just awful. Even just less of it would have been okay. I still think it's a cool uni, but without the gray, it's a classic.

[wjag]

This just in, Sabres failed to score in first period.

John Scott sucks. He never scores when we need him to.

[Stoner]

i see that ticket prices have rebounded modestly on StubHub. Interesting.

[josie]

Not even watching right now. Watching some doc on space travel. Will tune in if/when the score gets interesting. :/

[Wyldnwoody44]

This is quite the GDT, I was watching football. I flipped over to the sabres and saw them hemmed behind miller...... Then I looked up and saw they were on the PP, that's all I needed to see, flipped back to the indy game

[Nitro60]

Watched Colts come back from 28 points down to win. Andy Reid and KC committed a huge choke. Some things never change. Now the Sabres have to solve the Devils game plan of lulling their opponent into a coma with there defensive play. This is why the NHL stinks. The refs don't call the game like it should because the let interference go unchecked. It is ridiculous.

[skaught]

Wow, what a comeback by the Colts! I mean, go Sabres!

[bunomatic]

This is like watching paint dry.

[Nitro60]

Shots on goal - NJ 8 Buffalo 6. YAWN

[wjag]

at the pace this game is being played, I'm going to update my score prediction from 6-5 to 8-7.

Is that goals or shots on goal?

[Kristian]

What do the Sabres have for zone time in the 2nd so far? 27 seconds?

I have a hard time placing a lot of blame on Andy Reid. He turned a below average QB into an average QB that put up 44 points today. Maybe he needs to hire a better D coordinator or we could just give some credit to the Colts.

[Marvelo]

dreadfully boring! But what Sabres- Devils game isn't? Gotta love Rick with the patience is a virtue quote.

 

:yawn:

That Omark thread was one of the best I've seen from a Sabre this season. Too bad it wasn't converted.

[skaught]

Great chance by Flynn, he snuck in behind the defense, too bad he can't finish.

[Nitro60]

Inkman, I live in Indy and the Colts radio team was not worried at half time. They had a feeling that they would come back and win it. They did. KC made some strange calls in the 2nd specially the passing on a the winning FG attempt (60 yards). That said I wish the Sabres would open up on offense instead of playing into NJs style.

[Wyldnwoody44]

We need more Finnish players on this team

[Nitro60]

PK unit is going to play a big roll if the Sabres want to win. Small joys in life.

Now listening to the melodious tones of RJ calling the game on the internet.
