Fleezoid Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) Sabres have to get something going against the Hurricanes tonight. I was checking the game preview and while the Hurricanes have thoroughly outshot their opponents in the last couple of games, they've lost. None of their goalies have a save percentage above .900. As Rob Ray says in his "keys to the game" in just about every game, "get pucks to the net!" Then there's the other side. It seems every time they appear to have their no. 1 goalie, he turns in to a pork chop. UPL's inconsistencies are looming again. Maybe Comrie tonight? This is like the early Bills drought years (before the Sabres' drought)......It's late November-early December and I'm turning to hockey as my sole sportiveness.

It's pretty depressing. Who thought the Bills would be at .500 and flirting with a losing season.. The Bandits are champions and fun to watch, too bad their TV presence is nil, I'm not going in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll flip the game on to check the score, and will maybe watch a bit if they look decent. But I haven’t sat to watch a whole game in a couple weeks now. such a shame. They were finally winning the fans back and now they’re pissing away all that progress they made with the fan base. I don’t know wtf happened to the fun to watch team from last season 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in the bottom 5 of those two rankings and middle of the pack everywhere else. I still think they'll keep getting slowly better as the year goes on, but the inconsistency is going to be maddening to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annual “guys trip” coming up quickly in mid January. Have been diligent riding the Pelaton to get the legs ready and going to get a little “warmup” in Ellicottville over new years. Also supposed to be going to the Bills game vs the Pats on NYE, but may end up skipping the game and staying in the slopes depending on the results of the next few weeks 🙄…🤦🏻♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bray Wyatt Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Got to love this quote about him , "Robinson established himself as a speedy NHL winger, who brings some size and two-way capabilities to the club. He’s mostly thought of as an effective penalty killer, but he doesn’t bring a ton else to the table. He’s not overly physical, he doesn’t have much of a scoring touch; really, the best thing you can say about him is that usually, when he’s on the ice, nothing really happens. He’s a classic replacement level player" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on waivers earlier this season and has played more in the AHL than NHL this season. Edited December 6, 2023 by BillsFan4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Man, I’m really tempted to grab the boy out of school and make the 3 hour drive to TD Garden for the game.

Every time I’ve looked before they’ve been $150-$200. 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
