Here we are with another game against the “elite” Toronto Leafs. As usual, there is another article from the Toronto media how great Toronto’s turnaround has been, how they are an elite team and the Sabres are regressing. As usual they ignore that the Leafs have stunk for 50 years. No Conference Championships, no Cups, no President’s Trophies and only one division championship in 50 years. They also ignore how this rebuilt Toronto team has it’s own decade of true ineptitude. JVR was 2nd overall in 2007. Читать дальше...

If you watch it, you'll know the line I'm talking about. This is a place to share the "things/devices/stuff" that you think are AWESOME and you personally endorse and recommend to friends.

I mentioned I was in the Queen City yesterday. Did I see a picture of Cellino of Cellino and Barnes on a Cellino Plumbing truck? Twin? Side gig?

Rak needs to weigh in the stats angle of translating NCAA stats to the NHL, but what should be our realistic expectations for Casey for the rest of this year and next season? Do these expectations change if he plays top 6 wing or 3rd line center? Does he even make the Sabres to start next season? If he does make the Sabres, what can we expect production wise?

Here is some food for thought
O’Regan freshman numbers at BU - 16g 22a for 38 pts
Eichel at BU 26g 45a for 71 pts
Wilson... Читать дальше...

I'll start it off with baseball playoffs beginning tomorrow! I hate the idea of one-game series as too chancy, but I love the idea for the tension and excitement.

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?

I think there is a thread for this already, but I could not find it.

A good friend and I watched *Tooth Fairy* last evening.

He got it for his kids to watch in 2010.  It was really good, surprisingly enough.  A hockey themed tooth fairy tale.  Two grown men with tears in their eyes at the happy ending.

Complain about anything you want. 1 complaint, 20 complaints, who cares? No one is really listening anyways.

My complaint for this week...

Fast food workers who are miserable beyond belief while on the job. If you hate your job that much, do something about it to better yourself in life. Go back to school or do whatever is needed to find a better job. In the meantime, if you continue to stay in your current position, suck it up and put on a happy face. M

This article reminded me how much I've grown to like Evan Rodrigues this season. 18pts in 37 games in a utility role in an amazing accomplishment. Need more speed, plug in Erod. Need someone to play center or wing. Plug in ERod. Need someone to produce on Jack's wing. ERod. Need someone to produce and help some callups produce. Add ERod.

He is turning into what Girgensons and Larsson should have been. Читать дальше...

Three years on from a fateful day in Sabres history, and I don't feel like anyone has been held responsible.

Lights, please."

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding
in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them,
and the glory of the Lord shone round about them:
and they were afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold,
I bring you good tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the City of Buffalo a Savior
which is Casey The Mittelstadt. Читать дальше...

This is really mind numbing...the Sabres have now gone 448 games since they were last above .500(with OT losses included). The last time they were above this was the 3rd game of the 2012-2013 season under Ron Rolston when they were 2-1...

Not sure if this is an NHL record but it very might well be...it really is hard to not go above .500 if even for a game at the beginning of the season for that long
