All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Drury and Co. leave B’s feeling dreary: Sabres flex their muscle at Garden

Drury and Co. leave B’s feeling dreary: Sabres flex their muscle at Garden
It’s still early, and the Bruins did give an honest effort last night against a vastly superior team. Still, their 6-2 thrashing at the hands of the undefeated Buffalo Sabres was not a pretty sight.
Despite playing pretty hard and fairly well much of the night at TD Banknorth Garden, the Bruins were no match for the high-flying Sabres (8-0-0), who got a pair of goals from ex-Boston University star Chris Drury (Nos. 8 and 9) and a big night from so-called third-liners Maxim Afinogenov, Thomas Vanek and Derek Roy.
Maybe the biggest concern was goaltending, as the B’s again got a shaky performance from Hannu Toivonen (17 shots, four goals in 22:56). Having given up 28 goals in seven games, the B’s just are not getting the big save when they need it.
Toivonen handed the Sabres their second goal when he somehow dropped his stick as he went to clear a puck.
The subpar goaltending lends some credence to the trade rumors involving Glen Murray and San Jose goalie Evgeni Nabokov, although the general postgame sentiment in the B’s camp was that there is no reason to start making changes.
“We are definitely not pressing any panic button in this room,” said veteran defenseman Nathan Dempsey, a key guy now after Brad Stuart (broken finger) joined Andrew Alberts on the injured list.
The B’s yielded three power-play goals, and have given up 10 in seven games - a big reason they are 2-4-1. Their own power play, meanwhile, again looked out of sync and was 0-for-4.
So, a number of small failures again added up to a loss. This is a team with little margin for error, and one that will be hard-pressed to deal with the growing injury list.
In the end, there are only three liberal archetypes: The fools, the beneficiaries and the crooks.

I was thinking the same thing, I hope this isnt one big crazy dream.
“You hold a players only meeting and get each guy to stand up and say what he can bring to the table... and if he doesn't, you punch him in the face.” ~~ Harry Neale, on how to fix the Sabres season.
This season has been like a dream so far. We have the best team in the NHL that can score lots of goals at a moments notice, crush our opponents bodies & make the best saves when needed. We are the total package and I want to be the first to say, I have to be dreaming. Please don't pinch me and wake me up, please.
Re: Drury and Co. leave B’s feeling dreary: Sabres flex their muscle at Garden
the best part is not only is the team playing hot, especially when biron/miller aren't a-game....... the offense helps out....... especially with alot of players scoring, so you can't focus on one particular player
