02:30 will be a bit later for me, hope we pull out another win.

And here I was thinking 830PM was too late for me. ?

 

I might watch the first 2 periods or so. We'll see. I hate having to avoid the results for half a day so I can watch the rest after work tomorrow.

9:30PM in my real world.

Not as late as farther west in the land of duda, bun and Rick, but pretty near this old guy's bed time.

We come out of the cave of a multi-week hockey break to the light of back to back games. Thank you for the gifts you have provided us Hockey Gods.

Let's see more of that fun 5-4 style hockey, with a continuation of the effective 2nd line please :)

And it’s still the wrong date 2019 now

Paul, what gives?

We are a full month into the new year.

I expect better from a big shot journalist.

Yeah. Since I get up at 4am, I typically get to bed by 9/930. So a 7pm start is no problem. 7:30 is a bit less sleep than I'd like..but doable. 8 tends to be about my limit.

 

With a 9pm start, I'm basically in "record the game, avoid the results and watch the next day" territory. 8:30 isn't much better, but I can probably do the first 2 periods.

You still have your day job, eh?

Missed most of last night's game due to my son's hockey. Watching tonight. Keep that secondary scoring going.

Dahlin with two more points to keep him in the Calder conversation (in Buffalo anyway) would be great.

Let's go Buffalo!

[That Aud Smell]

I can always generate some visceral hate for the Stars.

Let’s go, Buffalo!

This is not the Paul you're looking for.  I am Paul, but I'm not Hammy.

[WildCard]

We really should win this one too. Dallas can't score, at all. They have one line (even more so than we only have one line), and even that line hasn't been great this year. They do, however, not let in goals. Still, they're coming off the break, should be rusty and sloppy, and we should win this game. It would be huge for us

Also, if nobody in here has mentioned Dahlin and Heiskanen yet, shame on you all

[Huckleberry]

We have our own Heiskanen next year in Laaksonen ?

[LGR4GM]

Yes, the Heiskanen v Dahlin battle wil be fun. There were a ton of people earlier on social media putting Heiskanen above Dahlin but I think Dahlin is winning that battle now.

Cocaine, gluesniffin` and hockey, nice tread, you buffalonians are growing on me "biggly".

Well done yesterday, 2 points against a pretty difficult team, a good start tonight and some solid goaltending could be enough for two more.

I think Dahlin will pick up the pace pointwise the second half of the season.

Heiskanen is a year older and has 20 points. Dahlin has 26 28

I know you're being sarcastic but nah, it would be crazy if he got that good.

I personally think Dahlin has been better and will continue to be. 

Also Dahlin has 28 points after yesterday. 5g, 23a.

Actually he is being compared to him, and I think he will be good enough to become Dhalins defensive partner.

He could be Dahlins partner but I doubt he'll be Heiskanen good. But if he is... omg... I can't even fathom it.

I was hopeful we would win last night (obviously not so much after the 2nd period though). ?

Now tonight, i think it would be totally uncharacteristic of this team if they could pull off a win. I would take the ot loser point right now if offered. Loving an upcoming 7 game home stand and a win tonight would really put them right back in the race.

My passion brings out the worst of my negativity, which in turns serves as a self defense mechanism. I want playoffs so GD badly....

I love this post.  Normally you've across just so negative, but this really demonstrates why and shows the vulnerability of the Sabres fan in a perfect way.  Honestly, truly, love it.

This also makes it better by the way.

I've heard it's not so bad; they have a pill you can take now.

[jsb]

Some terrible news about playing in Dallas the past 4 years.

1. Outscored 16-7 there
2. No one on the current roster has scored for us, Kane 2, Moulson 2, Gionta 2 and ROR 1
3. 2 of the 4 were basically blowouts, zero points 
4. Met Paul at one of the games, our only highlight of the game
5. It's time to change the outcome boys.... LETS GO BUFFALO

I still don't understand why Heiskanen didn't go #1 in that draft... he's a stud. But he's not in Dahlin's class (generational)

Reinhart scored one at the end of the game.... last year?  Year before?  But they called it back.  It would have tied the game I believe.  And he's starting to heat up.  ?

Tru dat.  You won't be there tonight, will you?  Mid week is tough.

I also met Thorny's dad and uncle at one of the games.
