Come on Sabres.  Give those fans a good show, score early and often, keep developing the right focus and determination, play with passion, deliver your longest winning streak in 2 years and get to DeLuca .500.  It's right there for you.

So do they only schedule Matinee games against known ticket draws like the Canadiens or the Leafs? 
 

Also, do they not care about television viewers (I’m open to the possibility that they don’t) While the in arena attendance might be swell, I have to imagine they only get a fraction of tv viewers today.  
 

The NHL is just weird.  


It is Veterans Day. They have things planned to salute veterans. That is a good thing considering we live in a country where people think Memorial Day is the beginning of summer and most don't even know the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day. What is wrong with having a game where people can take veterans in their family to a game and then go out to dinner afterwards anyway? It is a good thing.

The matinee game on a national holiday actually means TV ratings will be way up. They are the only sports team playing and many people are at home to watch it.

Because I’m a selfish, short sighted prick and want everything catered to me.

More than 1 in 5 people have the day off, not to mention all the shift workers that don't get to see games at night because they are usually working. Lots of retirees, students, government workers, banking, wall street, etc are off today.

I like Joker over Muel.  If I understand the concept of Muel - punishing stay at home - he's just not showing it nor has he since 2 seasons ago.  Joker on the other hand is quiet and complimentary, fast enough, smart enough, get the puck off the opponents stick and over to your more talented partner / up the ice.  

I have never seen the “punishing” part of his game.  He can be a solid defensive defenseman if he stays healthy and cleans up his game.  He can be lax at times and apparently Lindy does not like lax.

Bills fans do it to stadiums all over the country. Hockey to Montreal is what football is to Buffalo.

Speaking of which.... did you see the number of Detroit fans at the Texans' stadium last night?  Holy cow.

If the Sabres can ever get consistent and good there won’t be so many tickets available for other teams to feast on.  People working today and they sell their tickets.

True. Montreal fans never bothered me at games. Leafs fans, no comment.

Ok Teammates,  big game here. 
 

It’s time to keep the streak going and advance.  No excuses today.  Take care of business.

Read my post. I said more than 1 in 5 people have the day off. You do realize the job participation rate in the US is 62%. When you factor in the people that are off today because of the holiday, more than half of adults are not working today. Not to mention the students, shift workers, etc. The majority of people living in the US are not working today.
