Does anyone have the exact record of the Sabres in the goatheads? It has to be something like 16-4

The best in the League 

 

They should go full-time.

I had a very random question to ask. Without looking, does anyone know what the oldest thread is on Sabrespace? It is on page 507 from 2004.

I was unable to watch the game but I followed the score on my phone. Too bad I missed this big win.

What I didn’t miss was the negativity on this board, it’s so much better when they win. I want them to win as much as other fans but I try to have the marathon vs sprint mentality and try not to get too high or too low to regulate my blood pressure.

I watched the highlight video, the post game interviews and read this GDT before posting.

They beat a good team, at home. They finally played like we expected them to. UPL and Bryson were not train wrecks.

As DG said, confidence is extremely important in this league, and they should be able to build on this.

EJ speaks like a captain I would go through a wall for. I love KO the man, teaching the young guys how to be good people and pros but EJ’s leadership has come at the right time. He knows better than anyone what the Avs can do and to have Sabres give it to them shows what they can do. This guy is a winner, a grinder and he speaks his mind.

Maybe the Avs played like the Sabres did vs Montreal but who cares, the Sabres played great and would have beaten them anyway.

I’m happy for UPL and I hope he finds the consistency he needs. It will take more of this for me to trust him but this is a step in the right direction.

Ummm.... the Stanley Cup part is a bit over the top.

[SwampD]

Well,… that was surprising.

 

And 6K is way better than UPL.

But not as good as Oopie, which is what the team calls him.

[Andrew Amerk]

Came to check for the UPL hatred, but don’t feel like going through all 19 pages for it.

They tried this when Eichel was here with Gionta (=Okie) and Gorges (=EJ), but... it wasn't the right time.  The culture was so fractured then.

[Claude Balls]

Does 6K have a dentist? I've never seen such jacked up teeth. And yes, that's kind of the ***** I pay attention too. I had braces for 4.5 years. Was horrible. But my chicklets look good nowadays. 

[Skooby]

There needs to be a written explanation as to why these aren’t our full-time colors, we really perform well in them & I think it’s because of the contrast coloring on the ice.

My guess? The Avs, who have been traveling, and lost two straight games where they were shut out, picked up a flu virus in an airport or something and the whole team is sick. 

One thing I hate about flying is I always seems to catch some cold or flu in airports. Maybe the Avs did. 

 

Or not

Agreed. This is the only explanation. I think it kicked in about seven minutes into the game.

There is a regimen I do leading up to flying and while I’m on vacation that almost always helps with not catching a cold or sickness while on vacation/traveling. If interested PM me.

Projecting the 23-24 lineup?

[Flashsabre]

The Avalanche and 49ers falling hard😁

All teams go through ups and downs. Problem is the Sabres have had 12 years of downs so there leash is extremely short with fans.

Hopefully they can string some wins together. They have been playing good hockey recently even without the results.

12-1

And of course the 1 is the game I went to. I didn't even know when I got the tickets it would be a goat head game. When I found out I figured I was in for a good game. Instead I got a building full of Rags fans, and a lot of disappointment.

 

This year's game is not a Goat head game, so I can't jinx the streak again..

? 

When the student is ready, the teacher emerges. 

Translation: Eichel and his cohorts did not want to be led

Correct.  That was my point.

Instead of following the leaders brought in, they hung out with the bad influences (Bogo, Kane).  Kevyn appreciates character and its affect on a young cohort of players better than XGMTM or JBot did.  They just didn't "get" locker room dynamics.

Tim Murray was a disaster and he did not understand a lot.  I think he works at the new Chick' Filet in Ottawa now.  

[Doohicksie]

I think he was an analyst- a pure numbers guy.  I work in a technical field and have worked with people like that.  Can generate numbers left and right but can't tell what conclusion they lead to.

On the topic of Tim Murray… My source isn’t privy to this info but is asking around…

Someone who has better resources and sources than you or I … 

Can someone post what Tim Murray is doing now? Honest question.
