same to you, coho...eight would be great

Hate to female dog but it was alarming to see how they play with a lead. Was it coaching or the players ?

maybe we should chalk it up to a team that's unaccustomed to a first period lead like that?

Happy Thanksgiving, Mr Pachla

Excellent work as usual

One thought on these come-from-behind wins, or playing with a lead, or the idea that they aren't playing "a full 60 minutes." Just remember, there's another team on the ice that's trying to play "a full 60 minutes" too. With the amount of parity, there are very few games you're going to dominate start to finish.

Gotta make hay while you can within a game, and in the context of a winning streak

Not really alarming to me, you are up 4-0 you aren't going to push the pace.

Agreed but when it got 4-2 we all know the old saying about a 2 goal lead. It was anyone’s game if a bounce went bad. Phil (and more importantly themselves) need to keep the foot on the throat.

Finally it’s fun to root for them and I’m really excited. Just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I bet most ex-grunts will like this, and the title is Sabres themed, to boot:

Every team shells up like that, i think buffalo just isn't very good at it. Wishing they'd continue the attack is one thing, but they really need to improve at parking the bus. Every time they've done it this year they give up high quality scoring chances.

thx, for that, tommie, and for getting me on a waits-kick this morning...

unearthed this gem at his website:

"Jim Jarmusch once told me Fast, Cheap, and Good… pick two. If it’s fast and cheap it wont be good. If it’s cheap and good it won’t be fast. If it’s fast and good it wont be cheap. Fast, cheap and good… pick (2) words to live by."

not sure why, but I immediately began thinking of building a hockey team
