please make it stop, all of it. Buffalo no longer has a hockey team.

Red Squadron only goes up to 12 X-Wings. I don't even have anything to quip about....

 

It's an Isles game though, so the Sabres have a chance to win in OT/SO if they can score 2 goals in regulation. More likely it's 4-1 Isles with an ENG added less than 15 seconds after UPL leaves the ice.

It's a pre-christmas suckfest.

Lets see, what will happen on the Island tonight?    The Aisles will break out their heavy game and we will get stifled in the neutral zone.  We wont get enough high danger shots to really test their goalie and we wont be willing to go to the dirty areas. 

UPL will keep it close for awhile, but it end up 4-2, with the 4th goal being yet another ENG. 

Oh yeah, and Martin and their 4th line will slap us around as usual.

1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...11...12...13...WE WANT 14!!!

Sabres are going to try and break their own NHL record of 18 games set under RK it looks like...and this time make sure they are not tied with Pittsburgh for the longest streak, but have a record of their very own at 19 games...

The NHL does not consider this a 'losing streak' since we got points. Don't ask my why, they just do. If you are going for "winless" - not even close, the Jets had a 30 game winless streak.

Interesting fact, tho - apparently our very own Buffalo Sabres are one of only 3 teams in the "Loser Point Era" to have a losing streak of 10 or more games. AAANND, own the longest such streak ... 14 games in 2014-2015. Insane.

2014:

I grabbed more games to show that the results DO show OT L ...so those 14 were in. a. row. All losses.

Just fly casual

It's an Isles game so it will likely be even more boring than the average Sabres game.

Morning Skate: Looks like Quinn is back in and poor McLeod is getting demoted to the 4th line. I'm confident that there is not a level that Cozens could suck at that would get him bumped for any length of time to wing.

I just don't get it.   Why not a 3rd line of Kulich - McLeod - Benson?   That pushes Krebs to 4C.  

McLeod is an RFA after this season.    What do you think happens to him? 

Also, looks like Bryson moves past Joker, again.

Question to me isn't do we win or lose, it's do we actually score a goal?
