This game was a scheduled loss. Sabres knew it. We knew it. In fact, some at NM were too busy planning Bruce’s retirement party to get involved with the game thread. Still... Chicky’s stale cookies are better than what they serve at the ROG.
This was expected to be the 3rd consecutive road loss - the wagons and vultures were circling. JR was sitting at Nucking HQ Command with pen and phone in hand.
And then the unthinkable happened. No, not the Nucks getting out to a 2-zip lead in the 1st. But, yeah... that. Ok, that’s not unthinkable, just intolerable this season.
