And it was just the goals. A lot of other stuff happened too.

They just ran the highlights of all the goals. I still can't believe all of that happened the way it did.

It's 80s night, if there was a franchise in Tampa during that decade.

The way Hagel was hitting Dahlin in the back of the head shows that this isn't funny anymore. It's getting borderline dangerous unless someone takes control.

I don't care that he's 40, there's no way I would want to fight Corey Perry.

I saw someone buy a couple of cans of that in the wild today. I was stunned.

I get it, people like the physical nature of the game. But that graphic that they showed during the intermission indicated how little offense there actually was in the first period.

There was a goal in that period?

In all seriousness, get stuff like out of your system now and don't do it when the games really matter if you meet up in the postseason. (Also, assuming the Sabres will be in the postseason is a big step for me, personally.)

This game is playing out like a bunch of outtakes from Slapshot.

Running the Saros "no goals" commercial after the game seems a little mean.

They look terrible for a period and a half and now they're up by 2. I can't make heads or tails of it.

Of course this is the ultimate in weird anthem singer swag.

You know the Sabres are moving up in the world when they give the anthem singer a bedazzled jersey.

Who says Albany doesn't get things done?

Your occasional reminder that Gary needs to retire, hopefully with immediate effect.

That's great, but as long as Captain Lockout is still the Chairman, that company still sucks.

Seeing that number next to the Sabres logo is still going to take some getting used to.

It's what they always say, live by the SHG, die by the SHG.

Makes me wonder who that is for the men's program, and why do I think it's the guy who currently plays Chewbacca?

Ok, I'll bite. What's a "Markwayne Mullin?"

See, I wasn't making this up.

MST3K was way ahead of the curve with this one.

I don't think we should be spending all this time talking about a show with two very unlikable people. The bit with May and Holtz got old extremely fast.

John Tener's greatest legacy is probably having a nondescript residence hall named for him in the East Halls complex on the Penn State campus. (Most governors of PA up to a certain date have dorms named for them.)

Not having a tournament and instead giving the AQ to the regular season champion is better than whatever the hell this is.

I can't help it if dumb shit keeps happening in Cohoes. It's their problem and not mine.

Maybe tonight is the turning point for me. I don't know.

At what point do we go from, "yeah the Sabres are winning games" and go to "they're actually a good team" The problem for me is that if I think they're actually good is the moment it all falls apart.

This first period vs Tampa is like the 10-game streak in microcosm, in that it just seems inexplicable and out of nowhere.
