Beat me once, shame on me. Beat me twice, and I put that little ###### rat through the glass. Your Buffalo Sabres will be looking for revenge like you do against the ass-head in the office who wears his Pats jersey and spoons with a Brady fathead in his mom's basement. A game, you think this is a game? No, this is personal. Boston is the guy who eats out of the peanut butter jar with his fingers; the guy who takes your company parking spot; the girl who eats from your plate when she insisted she wasn't hungry; the guy who doesn't smokes but will always bum one off you; that dude in the circle who didn't throw down but wants in; slow walking, close talking, mouth breathing neanderthal who's idea of an argument is to simply yell louder than you. Boston's the girl that gets mad at you for holding the door, then yells out you about chivalry; the guy who claims no chicks like him, then rocks a gem-studded douchebag vest out to the bars where he brags about the chicks he's banged. That guy that one ups every story you have; the interrupter; the complainer; and that oh so special princess who says "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best". Simply put, Boston is everything you hate in life.
 
The Sabres, our burgeoning hero who rises from the ashes to put our city back on the map, will look to make a statement to the NHL that we are no longer the red-headed step-child of the league (Sorry bio, I'm a ginger too though. Well, 1/2). Coming off a heart-breaking 3-2 SO loss against Boston on Thursday night, one that saw the best and worst of Chad Johnson, and the worst of Dan Byslma, the Sabres will look to avenge their loss and continue the playoff push by making ground against a divisional opponent and a WC contender. Buffalo is much, much better on the road. Boston sits at 11-13-3 at home, and the Sabres are 12-11-2 on the road. Considering the away team has one each contest so far, I'll expect a Sabres win, and a better showing by DD.
 
Look for Lehner and Rask to get the starts. Marcus Foligno is out with a LBI, and Daniel Cat-nasty will make his pro-debut.

You had me at "spoons with a Brady fathead." Great stuff.

 

As to the game, we need ROR to return to form and I think he does tonight.

 

GO SABRES!!!

"Bylsma thinks long and hard about everything that goes on during a game. He said, 'I critique myself for the choices I make. I put the guys out there, but we watch a lot in practice which dictates who we go to with what we see in practice.'" ~ WGR 550 (full article here)

 

Sure Dan.  Based on what you're saying here in this here article, it occurs to me you need to work on two things:  making your practices such so that they translate to games, and your ability to critique yourself.

 

Thanks!

****** red-headed step-child of the league (Sorry bio, I'm a ginger too though. Well, 1/2). ******

 

So, your 1/2 of the ginger is it cuff's or collar?

Your GDTs have sprouted and are beginning to blossom into more than I am worthy of!   :worthy:

I don't see a blue moon out there??

 

Larsson scores tonight...

 

If Moulson actually scored on the next blue moon, it'd be great, because that would mean the team is probably in the Eastern Conference finals. (The next blue moon is May 21.)

I hate the Flyers more than I hate the Bruins. In fact, I think I hate the Wings more than I hate the Bruins. Sorry, I can't muster that much hate for the Bruins (anymore). Brad May kind of healed me, allowed me to move on with love in my heart.

 

The hate seems a little shallow when you're down and the team you're hating doesn't have fans that hate your team back. It's like how half the world hates America, but we hardly know they exist.
