During a critical game it was customary to post "Must Win!" in the GDT.  That morphed into any random two-word phrase with the two words beginning with M and W.

It was when it became any random two-word phrase that the MW theme jumped the shark. It was fine when the MW had an actual contextual connection to some aspect of the game. Sometimes they were actually kind of clever.

My all time memory of Sabres - Flames games is Ric Seiling getting a horrible eye injury against the Flames and being out for a long time. I think that was at the Corral in Calgary 

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Sabres' record for fastest goal off an opening faceoff (to start a game) came in Calgary. I was listening on the radio in the kitchen of the old house where I grew up, and the window was fogged up because Mother had something berling on the stove, likely something father had run over in the Dart. It was an afternoon game, somehow.

And Seiling just skates off lol. Mic drop!

While Rick, no doubt, was chastising the normally couth Aud crowd for throwing stuff.

Uh, nah. Mogilny holds the record for scoring five seconds into a game in Toronto on 12-21-91. Hey, Toronto and Calgary are both in Canada! If I can determine that the game was indeed played in the afternoon, I will score it as a victory.

My memory is fuzzy on this one but: Wasn't there a Calgary Buffalo game in the LaFontaine years where Pat got injured against the Flames and the 2nd time they played there were an insane amount of fights and PIM's?

This is a very interesting one for me. Calgary plays solid D, pretty much as close to old school hockey as you get these days and is exactly the kind of hockey I don't think we are built to play against. It feeds perfectly into the ever ongoing size and toughness and grit debates that go on forever. If we can hold up well against them I might have to accept I have outdated ideas, but I don't think we will.

lol, Even in a full team scrum good old Rob Ray never could leave his jersey on could he? Say what you want about the neanderthal era, but that team stood up as a team.

We really need more firepower, especially against Calgary’s goaltending.   Any chance we can upgrade Hayden tonight?  

Faceoffs - they matter and we need to win more of them.  

That Pittsburgh third period - need to teach them what is going wrong and fix it.
