WildCard Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) I mean, we should be appreciated, right? We watch every single one of these games, and ###### post on a forum long enough where 10/10 doctors don't recommend; livers and fingers simply can't take such constant constraints. But God dammit, we, the fans, deserve our own shindig. And, folks, this is our last pity party. For the last 5 years, Fan Appreciation Day is a day where this organization apologies for acting like a bunch of jamboys trying following Chevy Chase at the Augusta National. We sit there, we accept it, we acknowledge good times are ahead. Well, ###### your wait, and mine, because they're here. Your Buffalo Sabres are 19-13-7 in their last 39 games, and 7-2-2 in their last 11. Winners of 3 straight, their best streak since November, the Sabres have worked hard to climb out of the cellar of the NHL and escape the lame, deformed league experiment chained in rusty shackles to the wall that is the NHL's Edmonton Oilers. It's seems like only yesterday that some were lamenting the Sabres perpetual demise; our inevitable turmoil seemed just that, inevitable. Doomed to stir in our own filth in that basement with the 5 inbred sons of the Edmonton Oilers, and a crying Connor McDavid in the corner whispering prayers to himself as Robin Williams yells 'IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT', some saw no escape for this team. Yet, AND YET, where are we now, I ask you? We climb, higher and higher, out of our proverbial cave molded by Plato, with Play-Doh, and we look above our wall and see the future. It's here, guys. Quit wishing for draft picks, and thinking it will never end. It's ended Meanwhile, the Jackets suck. Sorry, Columbus, that's just the truth. Though, Saad has 29 goals on the year, and they do have the better Foligno. Still, if Torts doesn't berate anyone into demanding a trade or just pure misery, I'll eat my socks. Columbus is 4-6-0 in their last 10, and are coming off a 5-1 win at Toronto on Wednesday.

For the last 5 years, Fan Appreciation Day is a day where this organization apologies for acting like a bunch of jamboys My all time favorite was getting the renewal invoice on Fan Appreciation Day. An innocent gaffe? Hmmmm. This year they sent it earlier than ever. But probably only to prime us to start getting used to playoff invoices sometime in March going forward. :P Quote
dudacek Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 Was it The Cave, or, perhaps, a Bunker? Quote
French Collection Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 Good reference to the draft picks. I would like another high pick but .500 is a huge accomplishment for these guys, so let's go get those points and pass the Habs. Watched the Oilers tribute to Rexall Place the other night and McDavid looks sad all of the time. They won the game, every Oiler legend is there, the fans are still behind the team but Connor sees himself shackled in the dungeon, stepping in a cesspool of bad management. I think we'll be seeing a bigger than Stamkos UFA circus in a few years. Jack will show him what a rebuild is. Quote
nfreeman Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 Great stuff, WC. These GDTs are another reason the future looks bright. And 19-13-7 in their last 39 games means that if they win out, they will finish the 2nd half of the season above DeLuca .500. Yes please. Quote

Eleven Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 Kevin Sylvester is leaving WGR Hockey Hotline to cover golf on satellite radio. No replacement mentioned. They've had a bunch of guest hosts in his spot lately. Rivet a couple of times, and he's been good. Quote
Taro T Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 They've had a bunch of guest hosts in his spot lately. Rivet a couple of times, and he's been good. He and Marty would make a very good team. Quote

Taro T Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 Kasdorf gets his first career NHL Start tonight Saw him play real well @ Cornell. So is Johnson the backup or does he get the night off altogether? He has to be the backup. Right? Quote

Norcal Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 Looking forward to seeing Rodrigues Kasdorf and Schneider tonight Quote
Brawndo Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 They've had a bunch of guest hosts in his spot lately. Rivet a couple of times, and he's been good. Rivet, Peters and Matthew Coller have a podcast called the Hockey Buffs on GR, it has been excellent to listen to. Rivet is very honest in his assessments about players. I wonder if they will do rotating hosts amongst Rivet, Peters, Coller with Marty Biron and maybe Brian Duff mixed in? Quote
Mustache of God Posted April 8, 2016 Report Posted April 8, 2016 I'm still waiting for an Eichel hat trick... Quote

I'd stick with the collar, Peters, rivet line up. Solid. Quote
