He owns a house though, so we can't claim him anymore. 

Ummm, I can be claimed at any point, by anyone ?

I don't love ERod or Bergy on the PP, either.  Would rather see Sheary and Pilut.

Rodrigues has been a disaster on the pp IMO

Aw man I just heard the Millennial alarm, sorry I'm late, I was just busy killing the diamond industry and being hardcore lit with my BDE (that's big dick I mean Johnson energy for you old timers) squad, fam

[Sabres Fan in NS]

So, this is what happens when I am kind and let someone else start one of these.  Ssshhheeeessshhhhh ...

[Mustache of God]

Risto had a maintenance day at practice on Sunday. He'll be skating tonight.

That or maybe he just wants to disrupt things as little as possible while they’re out short-term

Seems Phil has finally come to his senses.

[Derrico]

Thanks guys, guess I should have read on.  Bad enough without McCabe.  We need Risto.

When seeking the playoffs, avoiding three games skids is as important as achieving ten game streaks.

"Polish his stick" to prepare for his next goal celly.

He's here. Let's see what he can bring to our team.

It might not help our chances to win tonight, but I think it will pay dividends in the long run (but it may also help us win tonight).  I'm starting to like Swashbuckling Phil.  This is exactly the time to employ high risk, high reward tactics.

Darn, those misssing letter(s).  I assume = skids.

LOL!!  I hate when that happens and it happens to me a lot.

If you win ten in a row then lose three in a row for 82 games you end up with 120+ points ?

[IKnowPhysics]

Must win.

The Sabres can lost I think 6 in this streak and still be around the bubble. However, they were NOT playing at a bubble pace when the win streak started, they either need to be better than they were before, or miss the playoffs.

I didn't see a thread for this, so I figured I'd make one.

 

Sabres are on a 2 game skid, while the Predators are coming off a 5-2 win over Chicago on Saturday making them 5-5-0 and their last 10.  Both teams have 37 points, but Nashville has the current tie-breakers without a head-to-head record.

 

This is the first of two big games back to back. Will Hutton start tonight or tomorrow? Or will Housely play him back to back?

 

Let's Go Buf-fa-lo!

I get up at 4am for work, so an 8pm start is rough for me. I'll probably try to stay up for the whole game, but I'll likely be taking a nap before tomorrow night's game against the Leafs.

For what it's worth, head-to-head is actually the third tiebreaker, behind points percentage and ROW.

[GoPre]

Can’t wait for tonight’s game!  Let’s go Buffalo!!!  

[Sabres Fan in NS]

I don't think that we have enough MUST WINS!! in here.

So,

 

MUST WIN!!

GO SABRES!!

Points %age only factorsin during the regular season.  So h-t-his effectively the 2nd tiebreaker.

Can't tell if you're using "Polish his stick" euphemistically or just saying "his stick" very quickly.  ?
