LMAO, that's some positive sabrespace Gold right there !

 

 

[DarthEbriate]

Beaulieu: Montrewan, when I left you I was but the learner. Now I am the... scratchster.

 

Let's go, Buffalo!

[Sabres Fan in NS]

You know what?

 

At first (and second and third ...) read I read that as 'Elections ...'.  Now on the 5th, or 6th read, I see the error of my ways and it is even funnier.

 

Where is PA?  I hope he finds this as amusing as the rest of us.

[Stoner]

At least I'm honest. I'm not trying to pass as SabreSpace's Norman Vincent Peale.

[bob_sauve28]

Ok, here's my contribution to getting to four plus pages

 

Let's go Sabres!

[Stoner]

Sabres logo Perreault was wearing in that Scars piece looked so odd, like a buffalo ghost trailing a tattered sheet. Looked like a little kid cut it out of some fabric.

There. Is. No. One. Here.

[Frieda]

DOUGIE!!!

[nfreeman]

So is KO now officially a 4th-liner?

[Stoner]

There. Is. No. One. Here.

Arena or thread?

[DarthEbriate]

You never see the Ewoks until it's too late. Sneaky little devils.

So is KO now officially a 4th-liner?

Sadly, true. I get the desire for balance... but put him with Eichel and someone fast (Bailey/Baptiste-offwing).

[Stoner]

Good start for the Somberos.

[Sabel79]

Nice play by Nelson at the blue line a second ago. Took an extra second/step and put a screen shot on jet as opposed to slamming it into the oncoming forward’s shin pads from four feet away.

[Stoner]

Pominville's shot at this stage of his career reminds me of Jim Kelly near the end, just a ton of effort required to get the biscuit away.

It's true. It seems like every shot has him ending with his knee on the ice. And when he does have the puck, he always shoots from way out, even if the path to the goal is open and there's no one anywhere close to screening or crashing for a rebound yet.

[Stoner]

I like the Ice Ice Baby sample after Ullmark's save. You could smartly program consistent sounds for every occasion and build a good arena atmosphere.

I wonder if Rick remembers a game in the early 80s against Montreal at the Aud when he was sick as a dog. The Sabres were way up after 2 and he went home. Jim Lorentz finished and was fantastic.

[Wyldnwoody44]

It's quiet in here, sabres actually owned play thst period, other than a phantom penalty on Kyle O

[bob_sauve28]

Oh man, not much activity here tonight.

 

Nice period. Lack of talent means fewer goals. Jack's line mates are a sad reflection of the talent on this team.

[Sabel79]

They’re gonna spend all night skating downhill, give up a crap goal that deflects five times, then an empty netter to lose 2-0, aren’t they?

It was a slash, just not much of one. Borderline, even with the league's desire to crack down on it.

[Wyldnwoody44]

I remember the days when it wasn't called a slash unless a stick broke.... I miss it

I dunno. This is the highest scoring league year since 05-06. I applaud the league.
