Why is there a gameday discussion that is 43 pages long before the game even begins and originates in a post from 2016? 

It has to be a hilarious attempt to drive SDS bonkers. 
 

In actuality, it was a weather thread repurposed due to the 72 feet of snow orchard park is about to get.

Changed amount of expected snow to honor our resident sick puppy nurturer.

The Sabres are at the crossroads and have but to stray a little for all to fall to ruin. We once again find ourselves in November with the season about to slip away and become yet another prolonged development camp for a franchise that has spent more time in the cellar than a fine wine. There is no help coming from outside, no hero from somewhere else to ride in on a white horse and save this team. No, this team must either save itself or die in the pursuit. This game has to be the turning point, it has to end this losing streak, it has to show that this year is different on some level.

Another November of losing will doom this season to the annals of Sabres history as just another in the long dark winter of no playoffs and no hope. But at the moment a glimmer of hope remains. The faintest hint of something good drifts down from the rafters of a building that has hosted cup finals' games and shocking comebacks, that has seen the likes of Hasek, Dury, Briere, and Miller, that has not known winning in 12 long years. That hope is carried not by a savior but by a group, a collective of individuals who will either be strengthened by adversity or broken by it. 

Sometimes faith deserves to be rewarded, and there is no more faithful fans than those that have continued to watch the collapses and infighting these last 12 years. Promises broken, great starts squandered, new hopes dashed to pieces, good players shipped off and replaced, and yet the fans remain. This is the game. The line must be drawn here, the season must be decided now. Not next game, not with a moral victory, not with an excuse, but with a win here and now. Either this year is different, either this team has the mental fortitude to dig deeper than they have before and find a way, or we once again turn our talk to next year because November broke us. 

For me, this game marks the Rubicon; the mythical point of no return that Julius Caesar crossed in 49 B.C. Either they find a way to stop losing and right this ship or once again this team sinks in flames and despair. Which will this team decide? It is up to them. They have the talent, now let's find out if they have the will. Go Sabres. 

I caught the LOTR and Dark Knight references, not sure if there were more Easter eggs

Not sure it's accurate but the first comment on the article states "She leaked sensitive player injury info to the press and got fired for it."

I didn't know Caesar played hockey.

He was a well known hockey star---XCIX.

Why ask why? Why draw attention to it? Why not just let it be and go with it?

oh never mind… I know why 😂

And anyone reading this gem might have the same reaction to your post.

Stop criticizing other posters, or keep quiet.

OH the "draw the line here" thing, is that an allusion to Picard? (not the show, the man, and his quote in, can't remember which film, Insurrection?)

This was such a good post haha

So they've decided to suck hard for Bedard?  Can't wait for their "contributions". 

This is a huge game and there is absolutely no reason they shouldn't win it. I watched Vancouver play Boston and they are a total mess. I'd say some of them have quit on Boudreau too. Goaltending is weak. D is weak. Forwards are a mess. If they don't change soon they are definitely in the Bedard race. 

they are losing, we are losing, let's see who the real losers are.
