This is now well into the 4th game in a row since Quinn recorded a single shot on net.

[Stoner]

He never touched him.

I'm just following passively online, but just from viewing that and reading here, it sounds like absolute domination...which is unsurprising. And our speed bump GM will continue to do nothing as his team circles the drain leaving skid marks all over the bowl.

Possibly, but I wonder if this toilet is clogged beyond repair.

Well, the Owner made a special flight and speech in front of the team, and I'm sure the coaching staff and GM, and he told them "no changes, its on you".

Yeah someone hollered for a ship builder and KA thought they said ***** builder and the rest is history. We’ve put up with the smell since.

Sabres saving up their shots for the big 3rd period comeback. Lol

[Mr Peabody]

Refs need to call a TKO and end this. 

[HumanSlinky39]

What are the odds they're even cracking 5,000 attendance by March?

[JoeSchmoe]

The rope-a-dope working strategy is working to perfection. We've got them exactly where we want them.

[SwampD]

4-2 Sabres.

 

[Mr Peabody]

How’d you like to have to sell this?

They already have.....season ticket owners count as part of the attendance....at least in terms of what gets reported.

[Porous Five Hole]

Not expecting it, but how about some puck luck and we get a couple. Something good is bound to happen at some point!

I think the team itself is bored too...nobody is playing like they care

[Stoner]

Men as dufuses in every commercial, while brainiac women stand by and judge.

Congrats, gals, you won.

Now fix our crumbling society.

I never understood the animosity towards Jack. Or any former Sabres, really. This is a criminally incompetent organization, I cannot blame anyone for wanting to get out.

Terry has to carry the stain of the Eichel surgery decision.  He told the entire league that a player he signed to a long term extension as his cornerstone was not worth the risk.  

ROR was honest and he got shipped out.  

Terry has a wonderful reputation.  

[mjd1001]

Quinn with a shot on net!

Of course, it was right into the center of the goalie's chest.  He took so long to take it that the goalie had time to move out to him and get set, and saw the shot clearly. Basically it was a wasted shot.  But the first one in almost 4 full games for him.

I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing he actually got that SOG that way.

Its when Terry started to get cheap.

The surgery was successful, and odds were that it would be. But from what I heard, the sabres had some kind of insurance on the contract, and the insurance didn't cover that surgery.

So Pegula didn't want Eichel around to get his surgery of choice....because if things went bad he didn't want to be on the hook for any of the contract. (or something like that, I heard an interview with Friedman discussing it a few years ago)

[Pimlach]

I guess our plan is to lull Vegas to sleep, then score 3 quickies. 

[Mr Peabody]

Film noir on TCM or hockey noir on MSG? TCM it is but if we get within 1 I’ll be back.
