Samson's Flow

Yes I would love to see the zemgus-larsson-berglund line reunited and not messed with as the checking line. With Casey and ERod coming on lately as the 2/3 centers, we should be working to identify their best line pairings to maximize offense and leave the Larsson line to cover tough matchups and provide some consistency. They have been very effective at shot/chance suppression.

I have actually really liked Beaulieu's game this year and he looked especially good with Dahlin last night (who doesn't ? ). I am surprised to see that he only got ~10 minutes of ice time. I think his play style and ability fits in really well with what Phil wants to do on Defence and he is starting to look more like the player we thought we were getting from Montreal last year.

I am too but I am encouraged that he seems to really enjoy playing here and with Jack. That at least helps us

Boy the Atlantic looks way stronger than the Metro. Bet both wild cards come from our division

Yeah please send us more reclamation projects.

Has nothing to do with his play, but it's nice to finally have a goalie that looks like a normal guy in post game interviews. We haven't had that in a while

Yep. The points count the same at the end of the year

To be fair it was only Milberry. Carter said we need the points more than Tampa, which is a fair point

He seems to be a stride or two quicker this season. It's made a huge difference in his pest game

Mulberry can f### right off.

That was a statement win by the Sabres and especially Hutton.

Whew!!! Post clank to end it. Be still my heart ?

Getting some puck luck during that last sequence

Let's go! Three more minutes

Good. Okposo taking the shift with Larsson and Zemgus

Hutton is keeping them alive. They need to finish this game

After a decent start the line with Thompson on it has been getting killed in our zone the last two periods

That interference call looked WEAK

I think Jack just got high sticked Edit - it was Skinner

Who knew - a Buffalo power play!

To be fair that should be a goal every time

They need to play like they want to win instead of trying to hang on. Tampa will kill then in the third if they play Alamo

We had a solid first period because they busted thier ass the whole time. They played more careful in the second and it killed them because Tampa put them on their heels. That lob pass goal switched the momentum

Exactly. It was almost cruel to name a top 20 knowing the outcome was always going to be DC or NYC

I saw what he was trying and it would have been great if it worked. But the same outcome can happen by just shooting low off the far side pad
