The article posted by PA in the Porky Palmer thread (read it if you haven't) made me kind of long for the days when rinks were not all the same size.  Teams had to play differently in the Aud or the Boston Garden than in the Saddledome.  I saw it as a feature, not a bug.  Kind of like how baseball teams have to play differently in different parks.

Now I remember why this BBG was so good. 4:20 The Old Jack Eichel

Ullmark is a funny guy.

While this forum sure likes sitting on their computers or phones wasting time talking about food, beer, liquor and sometimes even sports, I can't imagine we're all maintaining a sedentary lifestyle.

So let's have a thread about it. We can discuss what we do for exercise, our fitness goals, accomplishments, failures, questions, etc.

As for myself I'm an active cyclist, beer league hockey player, and I run when the tendonitis in my knee isn't acting up. Thanks to my job and all of... Читать дальше...

WATCH | HC Chris Taylor announces captain and assistant captains for the upcoming 2017-18 season.

Well...

Preseason schedule is out.

2017-18 season schedules are coming out 3 o'clock this Thursday.

Did you here that Ott is now an Assistant Coach for the Blues?

Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen of SabreSpace to your 2017-18 edition of the SabreSpace Blue League. I will be your Commissioner for this season so let's get started. 

Why Blue League? Blue League is the less hardcore of the two SabresSpace leagues, the other being Gold which I hope will have a commissioner and thread of its own shortly.

One of the best debates the board has been having is the what was the causes of the dearth of prospects in the pipeline. I was also interested in seeing what difference the change to video scouting had on drafting success. The change occurred in 2006. So I decided to look at Hockey Data Base which not only shows who was drafted but also his total number of games played.

The Sabres had three years 2000,2005 and 2006 where their first round pick did not play a single NHL Game. Two seasons... Читать дальше...

Maybe the college football national championship game put me in a bad mood.  Maybe the Sabres' currently losing streak made it worse.  However I have some real concerns about the future of this team.

Let's see if we can give this thread a long run. Post up what you are consuming, restaurant, homemade, just something you are really enjoying at the moment, whatever......

It is Saturday afternoon. The wife is not home. And I have no plans. For lunch I just made myself a plate of Yancy's Fancy Bergenost cheese, good pepperoni, and an assortment of crackers. Opened a bottle of Ovila Saison to quench my thirst. Life is good.

How about you?

Ok, 

Been awhile since I posted but I've been thinking about this for a little bit and wondered what others here may think.

I've been a fan of the Sabres for 42 years. I've never been to Buffalo to see a game live, only seeing them play in Vancouver many times.

But with the current state of this team, actually the ongoing state of this team, I've actually "considered" jumping ship and cheering for the Vegas Knights. The reason is not because they are the Cinderella story of the season... Читать дальше...
