Gerbe's so short
He can only be found after the jump.

Q: What do a fine wine and the Maple Leafs have in common?
A: They both spend a lot of time in the cellar, cost too much and are only enjoyed on select occasions.

And they improve over time, unlike chicken wings which give horrible burning on their way out the bottom.

Also
Gerbe’s so short, he only needs a beach hand-towel.

The Sabres are a like a eunuch in a harem.
They keep seeing the big trick done, but can never do it themselves.

Q: Why are the Leafs owned by teachers?
A: Because they both take summers off and are demoralized the rest of the year
Actually, they’re owned by telecomm companies now. Why? Because love them or hate them, you can’t have a conversation without them.

Because we’re too focused on overcoming injuries, a #1 goalie getting run, staying in a playoff spot and marveling at the awesomeness of Tim Connolly to worry about renaming the site.

So I saw on twitter today...
TWC and MSG are talking again, but that TWC would raise their rates by $2.50ish a month
I hate that I love Buffalo.
Cody McCormick out of the lineup for Derek Roy

So… Matt Ellis really can score. I stand corrected.
As long as 70 minutes of ice time is being doled out to AHLers and Matt Ellis, the Sabres are basically doomed
They don’t have to be pretty either.

The Sabres should wear white at home all the time now.

That was their problem all along.

Want it noted for the record
Me and Sophia were here for the anthem, but then she needed some dinner, so I got her set up in her chair, but I caught RJ’s call on bo goals and then the replay!!!
Considering that he would have scored it, it’s probably a good thing.

Yes he has so far. He’s playing like he belongs on the fourth line tonight.

They’re back in PPP, Millering around aimlessly.

I don’t really think we should be Frattin-izing like this. You root for your Boyce, I’ll root for my Boyes and we should be just fine.

Eh, it’s Aulie good fun so we don’t need to go Lup-y with the rivalry, but I’ll understand if Myers presence is a Steckeling point. What the Hecht, though.

Tripped...
Anyone else notice that Weber was tripped on that play?
He wasn’t, he lost an edge while battling for the puck.

you don't remember*
2 leafs vs sabres games ago when leafs had like 100 penalties in the 2nd period?
No…I remember that. Was just getting a little baffled how a team could go 4 straight periods against one team without drawing a penalty.
Gonna be one of "those" nights
Last chance wins it?
Enroth 2.46GA and .923 SP, 19 points from 15 games
Miller 3.01 and .903, 22 points from 25 games
when are we going to start giving our team a better chance to win more often? Unless we’re shooting for a top 10 pick then Ruff having more confidence in Miller is hurting this team pretty bad. Another game with Miller giving up 2+ goals what a shocker (yes I saw Weber go down) but the Leafs will score more Miller is a sieve.

Look, in all honesty, you hope that your six million dollar goaltender is going to be the rock of the team. It’s not like Enroth has been lighting the world on fire as of late either. He hasn’t won in since November 26th, going 0-4-2 in that stretch.

That pass by Vanek was…. absurd.
As long as 70 minutes of ice time is being doled out to AHLers and Matt Ellis, the Sabres are basically doomed
This period had defensive confidence and competence
That I haven’t seen since the Sabres were playing in Europe
Last Bull Out
Im betting Vanek declined the offer like he did last year.
"If we needed any more motivation to win a Cup sooner than later, we've got one now," Black said. "I really want to listen to the game that RJ calls when he finally gets to shout out, 'Buffalo wins the Stanley Cup.'"
"Do it or Die Trying."

What a disgrace. I wanted to call the Gerbe penalty weak earlier and I refrained. How was that play any different?

I would like to believe that is not true. Sometimes I have my doubts though.

I love the Goose-Kaleta-Gerbe line
they won’t always wow you with offense (they have this game), but when it comes to defense, they rarely let down.
Heeey ooooh!
Kinda forgot what it was like.
2 points!
I hate that I love Buffalo.

I know right? I didn’t know you could get TWO points in a single game!
This is a stunning development. More study is required.
