26CornerBlitz Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Posted March 16, 2014 Great job as usual CB. Question when do you sleep? Thanks BRAWNDO. Trust me, I get my ZZZZ in. So, does Vanek get a tribute? Too Lazy. :rolleyes: Quote

26CornerBlitz Posted March 16, 2014 Author Report Posted March 16, 2014 Not you, the arena, like people were clamoring for for Pominville. I know, the joke was that he was too lazy to deserve a Sabres' tribute. Don't go downtown: Sabres cancel morning skate Quote

North Buffalo Posted March 16, 2014 Report Posted March 16, 2014 Can we just surrender... ah crap its Montreal, they usually do that first... this year though... Quote
Huckleberry Posted March 16, 2014 Report Posted March 16, 2014 Hope someone lays Vanek out with a big hit, I somewhat cared for him when he was a sabre, but never been a fan. Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Posted March 16, 2014 Nice CB!!! Always appreciated Yet another game I doubt I will watch.... Today seems like a nice day to hit up Letchworth and the awesome dive diner in Mount Morris, serving up food that is guaranteed to give a coronary :) I caught some of last night's game until the signal went out, then the masses put on college hoops.... I always read through the GDT during or after and man have we Really collectively gone downhill in those. Good news is the sabres only have 5 more home games including tonight's, so either tickets will become ludicrously cheap, or the feeling of leaving the arena disgusted after a game is near finish. All that said, 4-1 from the northern counterparts Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 16, 2014 Report Posted March 16, 2014 What's the Sabres record this season in back-to-backs? Never mind. I'm sure it's terrible. Will Ville score, or at least have a shot at it. Hi Angry 11. Keep your STs they will come in handy one fine day. Quote

Eleven Posted March 16, 2014 Report Posted March 16, 2014 Season tix I presume. Yep. Got it. Yes, I intend to. It's just really, really annoying to outlay that kind of cash and see NOTHING entertaining, no hard work, zip, zero, except for a good yet futile goaltending display. Quote
