No data. Guess they want to see how Georgiev does through a full 60 having faced adversity.

And Detroit will go back on the PP again. Doan with the roughing call. Georgiev still between the pipes.

Hate the new electric rates that got approved fairly recently. Last month, 1/2 the bill was delivery charges. This month they're 60% of the bill. (Used to be more like 20% of the bill.) And NYS wants to force everybody to be 100% electric in the near future. New structures aren't going to be allowed to tap into the NG grid as of 2030. This rate structure is nucking futz.

Yeah, they watch what other teams do and try to emulate it, but it's clear they don't actually understand what the other teams do. Really believe they're trying to emulate Carolina's pressure PK, but Carolina doesn't pressure over the entire zone. They pressure when the opponent has limited options and they can then outnumber the puck carrier AND take away the limited options. And they get the goaltending that can cover for them when they oops it and let the puck get through to the puck carrier's teammates. The Sabres pressure when the other team has multiple options and they don't manage to take them all away typically. Just have this sneaking suspicion that if you ever get to talk to Wilford he'll proudly show you his new watch - it's a Rolodex. 😉

5-2 Copp.on a rebound.

And Dunne and some other Wing are the only 2 going to the box. Both for roughing. (And Chiarot is the Wing going to the box.)

Mrkta and Chariot giving each other rabbit punches to the face with the gloves on as another scrum goes on. This Mrkta kid is going to be fun.

It was hilarious this afternoon as NFL Network had Kyle Brandt on one of their shows and had him talking up how good those unis look. Pretty sure at one point he mentioned how "clean" they look. LOL. So, sure, they're paying his salary, he'll suck it up and say they look good, but pretty sure him saying they look "clean" was a FU to his bosses.

And Krebs to the box for something that happened in the post whistle scrum. ???

Not impressed w/ Quinn on this PP. 3 bad passes and 1 horribly telegraphed shot that went over the net.

And Appleton nearly got his 2nd shorty. Georgiev with a nice push across the crease to rob him.

And Bernard-Docker gives the Sabres PP a chance to get back into it again. Nice of him to still try to do his part. 😉

4-2. Seider.

Larkin won a battle in front against Metsa. Kind of a tough ask of the kid; but if you want to eventually get a look in the show, you've got to come through in those instances.

Larkin off the post and in. Wings back on top 3-2.

And the PP actually had good movement on it. Shocking.

2 goals on 7 shots total this game. And goalie really didn't have a chance on either one that got by him.

Doan w /the PP goal. 2-2.

What a stop by Georgiev. Cross ice pass from Larkin to Raymond and he came in clean on Georgiev.

STs is what cost them. Can't be giving up shorties. Even when you get the equalizer that same PP, those hurt. Pretty sure the Sabres PP is a net 0 through 7 periods.

Not sure that this is accurate as they didn't give Krebs credit for a shot about 3 minutes into the game; but they claim the Sabres were outshot 15-4 in the 1st.

Yup. But at least the've killed off 1/2 of this one without giving up any serious chances. (And as he says that Georgiev has to make a nice blocker save.) 2 or 3 shots on the PP for the Wings. Only 1 that was dangerous. Will take that on the kill.

Why does the video graphic keep showing that Östlund has a goal but Tuch and Zucker have 0. Zucker also has 0 assists. Know what else he and Tuch have 0 of - TOI. They are NOT dressed tonight you rubes. For those that can actually watch this (or at least the "stream continues shortly" graphic they show whenever there is a stoppage), Wayne Gretzky is also scoreless as is Jim Lorentz and shockingly Josh Allen hasn't gotten on the board yet, though he's due.

Know where the Ellicott Square Building is? Well, there you are. 😉 Literally kitty corner across from the ballpark and nearly across the street from Washington Square (which I know you know where THAT is).

And even better yet if you buy me a beer. 😉
