Pretty concerned they are just throwing Ullmark in without any rehab games

 

[UnleashRasmus]

7-2 drubbing.

 

[Intermission]

Snap the slide

Risto goal assist +2

 

[Royisgone]

Hoping for a highly entertaining loss.

 

[Vito_81]

I don't even know why I’ll be watching.

Pretty sure this one gets turned off before the second period is over

 

[sufferer]

Oh, look, a game.

 

[Buffaloed]

People want to know why they're still here. This is why

His mind is sanguine-twisted
Sees through a beer glass lens
Got a lot of Swiss boys
That he calls friends
He thinks of a goalie
Pulling him from the net
Some drink to remember
Some drink to forget
So I called up Captain Eichel
"Please bring me a win"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since Larry Quinn"
And still those voices keep calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say

Welcome to the Keybank Center
Such an empty place (such an empty place)
Such a quiet place
Plenty of room at the Keybank Center
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here

Small pictures on the ceiling
Train wreck on the ice
And Kim said, "we are just prisoners here
of our own device"
And in the GM's chambers
Where logic counts the least
We stab at it with our Sabres
But we just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember was
Briere and Drury no more
I had to find a passage back
To the place we were before
"Relax" said Terry
"We are programmed to deceive
You can can check out anytime you like
But your can never leave"

Welcome to the Keybank Center
Such an empty place (such an empty place)
Such a quiet place
They're chugging it down at the Keybank Center
Something sounds like Ralph (something sounds like Ralph)
Ewww it really smells

Better than the game

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Not sure I’ll endure anymore of the misery unless I receive notification they take the game seriously and put up a fight.

Id expect 6-1 Caps

 

[Baccus]

That's would be something indeed...

 

[kirby11]

Yeah, seems very dumb. Par for the course with this org.

How many PP goals does Ovechkin score from his office vs. our garbage PK and a rusty goalie?

 

[Havok89]

Thankfully I’ll have to miss the first two periods of this one.

 

[Buffaloed]

Thankfully I’ll have to miss the first two periods of this one.

Those are the only periods the Sabres show up for

 

[Zman5778]

That's would be something indeed...

Botts: "I believe in you. Here's some backup for the stretch run."

Sabres: *yawn* Aight. Ima head out now......................



I mean seriously. Only this bunch can take a positive and immediately completely ruin it.

 

[stokes84]

It can be dumb to read anything into it, but Eichel’s pre-game interview sure sounded like a guy who’s checked out and just going through the motions. Or better yet, lost his love for the game.

I'v lost my love for the game. Imagine not being from here and year after year just carrying a team with zero return. If I were Jack I'd tell Terry I have one year left, need to get into the playoffs or I'm requesting out and making it known.

Not bad! "Welcome to the Key Bank Center" doesn't really work though, does it? Needs more syllables.

I propose changing that line to "Welcome to the home land of dejection." (Or something like that; the syllables work and it's a little more poetic).

Just a friendly suggestion. LOL!

(My favorite line is: "And in the GM's chambers
Where logic counts the least". Nice one!)

He changed the channel. You can only watch Krueger's infomertial for so long.

 

[Gabrielor]

f*** yeah Dahlin

 

[Fezzy126]

Wow what a snipe

 

[Tatanka]

Awesome play by Rasmus.

 

[Samsonite23]

Well that was awesome...

 

[Gabrielor]

Jake McCabe should NEVER try to make a play. It always fails.

 

[BuffaloGooner]

Would’ve been nice to have a legit second line all year. Olofsson/Kahun might be 2/3rds of that.
