Sad news: The coach of the Buffalo Sabres is extremely disappointed in two elite players for declining to participate in this month’s March. See more.
Are you wondering about the early game day preview? Well, it’s because the Oilers have a rare pair of morning starts this weekend, the first one kicking off at 10:30 this morning against the Buffalo Sabres
It’s strange and scary, but at least we’ve got some daytime sports to watch
I would like to know who in the heck thought that starting at 10:30 AM was a good idea
, if I may be so brave as to voice my complaints for a moment. It’s not as though the Super Bowl or some significant
tentpole event in the sports world, thus I fail to see why anyone could have thought this was a smart idea
I realise Americans enjoy their afternoon sports, but I don’t understand this weekend’s schedule
Now that I’ve voiced my complaints, months in advance of Festivus, let’s discuss the current task. From this side of the computer screen, I can’t help but think about how the Buffalo Sabres have had yet another terrible season
Since the previous offseason, they had high hopes that they would be able to create some noise, and while they have, none of it has been very impressive
The Sabres are nine points out of a wildcard place going into this morning’s game, meaning they will finish the season without a chance to make the playoffs for the thirteenth consecutive season. That is really awful
At this point, we are all too familiar with the Decade of Darkness, but they are working on a second decade, and it is a truly mind-boggling reign of despair
This team just can’t seem to get it together, and even with the clear talent on their squad, their current run of terrible luck is astounding
Cheering for a team that seems to never have a chance at the postseason is the kind of punishment I wouldn’t wish on anybody, therefore supporters of that team could very well be angels
I salute every Sabres supporter that perseveres through this chaos; it takes a unique kind of person to love a team this much
This team is clearly talented, but they can’t seem to figure it out, and right now it’s a shocking run of misfortune
Supporters of that team may as well be angels since I wouldn’t want to be punished by rooting for a team that seems to never have a chance to make the playoffs
To be this devoted to a team requires a unique kind of person, and I give props to every Sabres supporter that perseveres through this chaos
The Oilers will need to be at their best from the first draw if they are to avoid going on a losing skid since this is the type of squad that is now either boom or bust
The Oilers allowed three goals in the first period of play against Columbus, which was all the offence the Blue Jackets needed to win
It goes without saying that the boys must improve
Right now, the Oilers are the type of club that is either boom or bust, so if they want to avoid going on a losing streak, they will need to be at their best from the first game
The Oilers handed up three goals against Columbus in the first period, which was all the offence the Blue Jackets required to win
It is obvious that the boys must improve
