Are you not holding that guitar upside down?

Nope. It’s right side up. You’re just seeing it from player’s perspective.

Well that locker room has to feel a sense of relief... how bad does it su&k for them each game they loose... they have a great chance to string a couple together with the Hawks up next... lets see how they respond....

Kulich has been coming in of late. Tonight was his best game.

He has a filthy quick release.

Third worse streak in franchise history. The top three were all under Pegula ownership

I like when the Sabres win so much more than when they lose.

I also really don’t like the Islanders. (And it really pisses me off that I don’t hate them, I merely just don’t like them).

Back to practicing.

 

Looks like a Fender Stratocaster body and a mahogany neck?  Could be ebony, or rosewood if it’s an older guitar.  

My electric guitar is a 1970 Fender Telcaster thinline.  Natural finish, maple neck.  Just had a luthier re-fret it a few years ago.  I bought it used for $150 bucks in 1978.   Turns out to be highly collectible today.   Where does the time go?   

I prefer playing acoustic guitar and have been playing a new Taylor 414ce that I bought last Christmas. I practice and play just about every day (retired).   I’m  mostly a finger picking guy these days.   Not in a band or anything but looking for people to play with.  The market for 66 year olds with limited band experience is low, so it’s YouTube lessons and jam tracks for me.    😂

3rd best. Figures. They can't do anything right. 

[SwampD]

It’s actually a bass. All the bits are from an Ibanez. Loved the neck but hated the body so I had a friend of mine make me a body in the style of a Fender P (which I love). It has a cool op art effect. All the vertical lines are parallel, but don’t look like it. Add in the fanned frets and it’s pretty trippy lookin.

I think it was a Jimmy Hendrix reference.

Pretty sure we established earlier that the top 6 losing streaks in Sabres history are all under Pegula. This streak managed to make to #3 on America's Top 40 before stalling.

But it's over, and that's that.  Now the next conversation may sound like the Rangers which is "X wins in their last Y games".

Interesting topic. Saw a Hendrix video earlier this year and realized he was left-handed. So, did he play with the guitar flipped over or was it re-stringed for a lefty?

I'm pretty sure he just flipped the guitar over.

Sorry. I was tired.

Sabres now only need to win 7 straight to get back to NHL 500.  

[7+6=13]

I just don't dislike any of these players.

Very cool.  Looks like 6 strings.  Are the bottom two B and high E like a 6 string guitar?

Oh come now, no reason to be bashful.

Power = pylon 85% of the time.

Quinn = thanks for showing up 1 game every 20 

Cozens = Hello? Anyone here?

The entire defense when Dahlin is out = Pardon me, do you have any Grey Hockey IQ?

Thompson = Do you have anything outside of the 1 trick pony cannon shot from the right?

The entire team = Do any of you remember puck possession/control? You know, things like crisp passing....to a team members stick, not their skates, STOP panicking with the puck......and for the love of the Hockey God's, stop turning it over to the opposition in your own zone, like giving it to them between the face off dots.

Any list additions, and there are a plethora of them, are more than welcomed to be listed.

I did some math. They need to play .700 hockey over the last 48 games to reach 95 points. They dug themselves a deep hole.

[gomper]

It's too easy to fall back in the hole after such a bad stretch.  Some of the fans put this on Lindy, but he said something really insightful after the game.  Talked about how a team can't help but be better after this kind of this trauma.  I guess we'll see starting on Friday.

Adams at work...

I would think Zooker would float your boat a little.

[DarthEbriate]

Emphatically breaking the losing streak is fun. But let us not forget, the Sabres were pacing for 90 points even after their 3-game winning streak west coast trip. The only reason it was fine is because none of the other teams in the East seemed to want the wild card spots.

If they get back to a 90-point pace the rest of the way they’re only looking at 79 points.
