Sabres at Senators 7:30

[darksabre]

I have reached this point as well.  I watched the game last night, but I didn't start until the first was well underway.  And I turned it off at the end of the 2nd.  The early enthusiasm is about gone for me.  I expected better than we're getting.

I didn't watch it. New X-Files and a book I wanted to read kept me from it. I had hoped this wouldn't be a throwaway year, but it looks like it will be.

Yup, If I look at my phone and they are down a goal, I won't even watch until it's at least tied.

Consider there infinite parallel universes.   In at least one of those universes Matt Moulson scores a goal tonight.    We do NOT live in that universe.

Watch the new episode tonight if you can. It's wayyy better. I think Fox is streaming it online.

plan on doing so. that is actually how i caught episode 1.

 

ep. 1 was a delight, in its own weird somewhat awful cheesy way.

 

god. that big conflict conversation between scully and mulder at the alien woman's home (i think)? i cringed. but i LOVED it.

 

i have heard episode 2 is, as you say, way (way) better.

 

which is great!

Hockey is about 80% of my total tv viewing experience. If the Sabres are on I watch.

 

It may be a little bit disappointing of a year win total wise. But watching the birth of 2 franchise forwards and the adopted one settling in quite nicely is worth it alone. All of a sudden I get to see a goalie that was going to need to play lights out for me to feel he was worth his trade, and he might just be doing that? I'm tuning in.

Well said fan.

Agreed. Good man, W-R.

Worst scene in TV history...or entertainment history? I watch some cheesy TV shows, but man, that tested my limits.

worst? or BEST?

 

mulder was always that way - wooden.

I liked how he just flew back into his same old "this explains everything!" mindset, as if he had been sitting around for years just WAITING for someone to give him something to speculate wildly about.

[Iron Crotch]

I may watch Antiques Roadshow instead of the Sabres game.

[Derrico]

I'm always watching the game when they play.  But I record it and start watching around 830.  You can get through it in an hour and almost catch up to live by the end.  I can't imagine suffering through two and a half hours of them.

Especially since they routinely take off the first period.

[Randall Flagg]

Even with how poor we've been playing, the games go by way faster than I want them to while I'm watching. I dread intermissions and the end of the game. I just like hockey a lot.

Exactly this. Sure there have been some disappointing games, and more than a few underachieving players. But a few times a game you see flashes of what's coming. Good goalie play from all 3 guys. Risto developing into a legit #1. Jack showing us exactly why we wanted him, and his apparent great chemistry with Z. Samson developing way ahead of schedule. ROR being the leader we've needed for years. The AS break is needed right now. Jack is gassed, he's played just as many games so far this year as he did all last year in college. It's a whole new world for him. ROR is gassed from the crazy amount of ice time he's getting. And we really need Samson back. It's been a frustrating season but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Lineup the same

So I'm flying for the 3 hours the game will be on. Do I waste $8 for the WiFi to watch this slop?

Buy $8 worth of liquor instead.

I mean, what else are you gonna do?

I think the Sabres would be more capable of leaving me dazed and confused than $8 worth of airline liquor. It's gonna take $50+ to compete with that.

9am classes :angry:

Better than going to work at a factory at 5am, as I did this morning.

 

Sitting in a class with young supple college aged women. I feel your pain.

You take all the joy out of my petty complaints

 

And I'm a science/math major. What are these 'women' you speak of? There's about 2 in the entire department

Most likely better than the factory "women" I deal with. This morning I had to work with Ashley. Ashley is a very nice person. She's also 6'2" 230 lbs and used to go by Jamal.
