https://hfboards.mandatory.com/forums/buffalo-sabres.18/ https://hfboards.mandatory.com/ Its a pretty good hockey forum. What I like most is that you can discuss hockey with people from around the world. Lots of posters from other countries.

Blockbuster! seriously though, I wish Bailey well. I’ve been waiting for that kid to put it all together since his draft year (2013). It was pretty clear that his time in Buffalo was up. I really hope a fresh start does him some good. I think he needed it, TBH. As for Leier, I can’t say I know anything about him. Here’s his bio - https://www.nhl.com/player/taylor-leier-8476955 He looks to have somewhat similar stats to Bailey - https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/45615/taylor-leier

Lol. Same thing happened to me. I stopped to check out the guy hanging from a noose and 3 painted up crazies ambushed me. Caught me totally off guard.

Yeah that was pretty cool. Even Mark Giordano complimented Eichel for that play. He said it looked like he was going to go off on a line change and that it was a hell of a play by Eichel. He said something you just have to tip your hat to the other team/player. Eichel really needed that goal (even he said as much). Hopefully it gets him going again. He was racking up points at a career pace before that injury.

If you’re coming down that hill where the blood trail is, the head is on the far right hand side nailed to a bridge support. I missed it my first time too. You get distracted by the body hanging and all the blood. I never thought to search the area more. I cruelly didn’t even know there was a head with a map until I found the 2nd one, which caused me to g9 back and look at thr first site I found.

Yeah I think it was more dumb luck than anything that I stumbled across another site. Im tempted to just look up the next site but I don’t know if I want to spoil it. But I’m anxious to see how this little side quest ends now.

Working on it now. Just came across the first location the other day. Found the 2nd yesterday.

Good!

Boston lost to Philly (in regulation) tonight. Buffalo is now 3pts behind Montreal and Boston and only 2pts behind Pittsburgh for the final wildcard spot. We have a game in hand on Montreal and Pittsburgh has a game in hand on us. There is only a 4pt difference between the 2nd place team in the Atlantic (Toronto) and us, so the Sabres are still in this playoff race with the win tonight. https://www.nhl.com/standings/2018/wildcard

Yess!! They desperately needed that win. Buffalo played a damn good game tonight against one of the best teams in the NHL. Happy to see Eichel get the game winner. I think that might be his first point since coming back from injury? He hasn’t looked quite right since coming back.

I’m not so sure about that... lol. (Hunwick being better, I mean) WTF happened to Scandella though? He was a solid top 4 defenseman for buffalo last season, even spending quite a bit of time on the top pair. This year he has really struggled. He’s had some good games here and there but a lot more bad ones. I keep hoping that he will return to last years form. It would be a big boost to this team if he did. But I am starting to lose hope now.

“Vacation” from the board, maybe? Whatever the reason, I hope all is well. I appreciate all of the info he shares with us. I rely on him, Yolo and others here for a lot of my sports news.

He must have done a **** ton of drugs before that press conference the other day because it looks like they still haven’t worn off... Either that or he kept the party going into the next day. Dude is hard core! lol

Good! On both accounts. As much as I don’t like it, I did kind of get why they gave Pilut a night off. I thought he was looking a bit overwhelmed at times in his own end, and it looked like other teams were noticing because they were putting heavy pressure on him in the d zone. And last time they gave him a night off it really seemed to do him good because he came back and had a great couple of games in a row. Plus you can’t keep Beaulieu scratched forever (You can say he shouldn’t even be on the team but IMO that’s not really on Housley. Botterill sets the roster). But i am very glad it was only a 1 game break for Pilut, and only 1 game in the lineup for Beaulieu (he was awful against Edmonton). I am also glad to see Ullmark getting the start. Hutton has had some bad luck lately, and seems to be fighting the puck a bit and Ullmark has been the better of the 2 recently. I’m glad housley isn’t forcing it with Hutton. This is a crucial 2 points against one of the best teams in the NHL. We need our best lineup in tonight.

possible Foles reunion?

Yeah I hope everything is ok, too. But I have seen him posting on other boards, so I’m assuming he is.

26cornerblitz usually updates things but he hasn’t been around in a while. I don’t see the Sabres catching the Isles, Bruins or Leafs. The Isles are now in 3rd in the Metro. They pushed the Pens back into the last wildcard spot, while Montreal is sitting in the 1st wildcard spot. https://www.nhl.com/standings/2018/wildcard Montreal now has a 5 point lead on the Sabres. Pittsburgh has a 4pt lead. And Carolina is nipping at our heels now, too (3pts back). We do have 2 games in hand on Montreal though. So they are not out of reach yet. Like you said though, none of this matters if buffalo doesn’t start winning.

I hadn’t heard that. When did he say that? Locker clean out day? Thanks.

Thats encouraging.

Yeah, as a fan it’s very tough to know how good of a job a position coach does. When they have some NFL history you can at least look up their results (in some cases, anyway) and maybe some blurbs on them from NFL players etc. But I meant more on this particular hire. I doubt there are many here that have even as much as a passing opinion on the guy (though I’m sure that won’t stop some from complaining about the hire...), since he’s never been more than an assistant o line coach at the NFL level. And I doubt that there are many people on here that know (or remember) how good Indiana’s offensive line was from 2005-09 (the only time he was the head o line coach that I am aware of). He is a fresh hire. We just have to wait and give him some time. Hopefully McDermott and Daboll got it right.

Not going to pretend I know anything about this guys ability to coach an o-line. I doubt a single person here has a clue.

lol Yes, Sully. It’s much better to be happy rooting for your own team’s misery....

Lol. That was some terrible acting. For some reason I get a kick out of watching these types of commercials (local commercials with terrible acting). Anyone ever see the “all holes filled” landscaping commercials on YouTube? https://m.youtube.com/results?search_query=all+holes+filled+landscaping

Thanks. I was wondering if anyone would know what I was talking about... lol. Gavin’s buddy has been annoying the @#$& out of me every time I visit Saint Denis. I keep trying to talk to him again, but I guess you can only talk to him once. Have had no luck finding Gavin myself. I read that, supposedly, Gavin’s voice actor is not listed in the game credits. So it’s likely just RockStar messing with us. Kind of like the Mount Chiliad mystery from GTA5. Or BigFoot from GTA 4 & 5. speaking of which, I guess you can actually find (and speak with) BigFoot in RDR2. Haven’t tried it yet myself - https://www.gamesradar.com/players-have-already-found-rockstars-longest-running-easter-egg-in-red-dead-redemption-2/
