Even if someone believes that Smith will have no effect on the outcome of the game, I don’t know how that person could look at that scene and at least think that Tampa might think so. My ideal scenario is that Smith does not go after Cernak, and somehow we go up 4-1, someone on Tampa tries to get chippy and that gets shut down.

Just not tonight.

Waste of their time, from what I’ve been told.

Look, if I can’t watch someone on my team score, I may as well watch someone on my team beat the snot out of someone. ... please be Kucherov, please be Kucherov....

I really hope Dahlin looks better than he did against Boston. Oof, was he bad. I know, I know. He’s 19 and going to have games like that, but,... oof.

I think it speaks more to the current dearth of toughness on the team than them simply appeasing us.

Aaaaaaand, we’re back.

So, we’re starting by adding one guy. I’m confused. Do you want the entire team swapped in one day for toughness? Ya gotta start somewhere.

I really don’t care about payback. I care about making a statement that will help us win going forward. Take out one of our stars, we’ll take out one of yours.

Um, no ***** it’s window dressing. They’re not putting him on the 1st or 2nd line. In the past three games against Tampa, they have knocked out two of our players and tried to knock out our captain. If they know they might actually have to answer for it tonight, then a fourth line plug can absolutely make a difference. i guess we’ll find out tonight. Forget about Cernak. Go after one of their forward stars.

Is Instagram Model now some sort of occupation?

I guess you are fine with losing two players to this team on dirty plays, then. (Well, I know you are fine with losing one of them.?)

Let’s get this decade over with. Onward and upward!

Connor Sheary’s a Euro?

Boy, that officiating,... no call on that hit on Jack in the corner,... how he can justify not calling that is beyond me.

I thought the exact opposite on that play. Why is Samson making a move right there forcing Larry offside? Dahlin is not having the greatest game tonight.

I know. It was a joke.

I’m assuming this is because the Sabres have scored 2 in a game.

Nice!!!!

Well, that sux.

Jacks too strong on his skates. I think if he falls there, the would have called it.

Yep.

It was any goal scorer that fans tried to convince themselves we didn’t need because it would have “mortgaged the future”,... as if they had one.

There’s just no place for a 40 goal scorer on the Sabres.

Introprospection.
