    "Let Me Clear My Throat" for a team whose iconic Hall of Fame LEGEND play-by-play man just beat throat cancer so decisively that he's delaying his planned retirement has NO silver lining? Really? None at all?

    Re: Sabres goal song vote

    Here's my 8-song bracket:

    *Thunderstruck(AC/DC) (or sub in For Those About To Rock)
    *S.O.B./Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats (For that one, you'd have to use the instrumental parts...i.e. hand clapping and wailing)
    *My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark/Fall Out Boy (though you can substitute The Phoenix or Centuries)
    *Hell Yeah/Rev Theory
    *Doctoring The TARDIS/KLF(aka The Timelords) (It SOUNDS like Rock and Roll Part 2, but it isn't.)
    *Pump Up The Volume/MARRS
    *Breathe/The Prodigy
    *Geronimo/Sheppard

    If you didn't have to use the hand-clapping part of SOB, and could actually use the chorus, I'd pick it every day. But there's just not enough instrumental backup in the parts of the song you would need to use to make it a good goal song.

    No, a loose lyrical connection in a bad song and a legendary contributor to our team's history having to suffer through throat cancer is not a silver lining.

    And I highly doubt that was in most people's thought process when they voted. It was probably more along the lines of "I'm going to vote for the only one of these songs that I remember hearing on 98PXY or KISS 98.5."

    I dislike most of those songs but I'd take any one except Pump up the Volume over the one we now have.

    Which is fair enough. SOB's instrumental parts(especially the wailing)could, if edited right, fit in well with the road of the crowd after a goal. Seeing the description of what Geronimo is about, it kind of fits in well with the Next Chapter theme.

    To all those in here: Just for the heck of it, put your 8-song bracket in here.

    Re: Sabres goal song vote

    I'm out of market, and don't watch much Sabres hockey. I saw the replay of the Eichel goal.



    The song sucks.

    8 goals through 4 games. Only managed more than 2 goals in a game once so far.... Yup. Clearly a strength.

    wrong question. How many games do they have to fail to exhibit a supposed strength before you admit it's not a strength?

    5 straight games without exhibiting a strength means either a) it's not a strength or b) it's inexcusable incompetence.

    Re: Sabres goal song vote

    If you want an actual answer, then here it is:

    Look at the teams we've played. Ottawa, with 2-time Norris winner Erik Karlsson. Tampa Bay, one of the best teams in the league with another elite young D-man in Viktor Hedman. And Florida, a surprising upstart early on who has allowed 9 goals thus far- tied for 3rd fewest in the league.

    The one game we played against a bad defensive team was a game we won while scoring 4 goals.

    This is a young team who has played 5 games together in a new system with lines that haven't had time to gel. I don't know what games you're watching, but I just saw a really promising performance out of a brand new Ennis/Reinhart/O'Reilly line against the Bolts.

    Stop being your typical garbage self, and give them time.

    Re: Sabres goal song vote

    Yeah, they always need more time. The Bills and the Sabres: always building for a future that neve me gets here.

    Yeah, I'll agree that the line you mentioned had a promising game, but "potential" is just another way of saying "hasn't done **** yet." You can't claim something as a strength until the ability to do it has actually been demonstrated.

    And one good D man? Really? A top D man might play 26 minutes a game. You failed to account for the 34 minutes he wasn't on the ice.

    Re: Sabres goal song vote

    Good win but nearly 55 scoreless minutes at home against Toronto. 34 shots but only one goal. We aren't talking about the defending conf champs or some trophy winner. It's Bernier and the Leafs in Buffalo.

    Where is that offensive "strength?"
