GDT: Sabres Host Penguins; 3/27/2025, 7:00 p.m. EDT

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

Yeah. Sid. Remember how Buffalo and Pittsburgh were two of the three teams with the best chance of winning the Sid lottery? Remember how Buffalo wound up with Marek Zagrapan? I do.

*sigh*

And they're just in time to stink again. Lemieux and Jagr, to Crosby and Malkin, to Misa and Mckenna.

Oh 2005, I remember those days. I had a smartphone with Windows CE on it, thought I was hot shit. Streamed TV from my slingbox at home so I could watch the draft at my buddies wedding. You had to wait like 5 seconds from the command to switch channels went from your phone, to the internet, down to my TiVO at home. Thankfully I was single and didn't have family to complain I was hijacking the TV.

That was around the era when my work Blackberry -- remember those? -- was internet enabled and I had people on this very forum calling me a liar for being at training camp practices making posts from it. So... yeah.

Man I remember the nightmare that was the BES server for pushing messages down.

Every fix was just completely reset the phone.

I remember my mum getting a cell phone when it was still not very common. Me and a mate (the one I'm about to come over to see a Sabres game with) wanted to go somewhere. I think it mightve been to a video store competitor to Blockbuster to rent a Playstation 1 game. The store shut at 6pm, I rang him at 5:45pm and asked if he wanted to go. He replied "there's not enough time for you to come round and for us to get to the video shop". I was like "I'm outside your front door". Blew his mind.

Anyway, on the hockey front, my ESPN hadn't been working for a month. Accessed using an SSO using a local Sky logon (Sky worked, ESPN just stopped accepting the credentials). But now they've put it all onto Disney+ as of yesterday I'm hoping to actually watch some hockey again.

I remember that Draft Lottery like it was yesterday. They're hyping up the draft during the broadcast, saying the Top-12 prospects were "can't miss" due to the lockout doubling-up the prospect pools. Then Buffalo gets drawn at 13. I should have known then, that's where the suffering was truly going to begin! (Granted, they won the President's Cup two years later and had a terrific two-year play-off run afterwards, but the point stands!)
