Last night was an all out assault on the forecheck that absolutely derailed Toronto’s D zone breakouts. I don’t believe that level of effort is sustainable. Granato even indicated as much in the post game as he stated he doesn’t think the team did itself any favors in preparation for the outdoor game. Assuming he meant they’d be gassed from the intensity they played with. Not sure if that adds up but it is what it is.

What the heck is a Paula Abdul progression?

Yeah I think of Gaustad a bit in this regard. Paul certainly had his PIMs in juniors and the AHL, which Murray has not, but both guys are similarly sized and their aggression doesn’t seem overt. Almost forced.

Sample size is small but from November-January. One fight. Since being sent down last week, two fights. Makes you wonder if someone pulled him aside and told him if he is gonna make this roster, he needs to stick up for teammates and be an aggressor. Discuss.

You want him penciled as as C1 or C2?

Hopefully, when KA is drawing up the roster, he puts Casey as the 12th or 13th forward. Can’t count on him much now. Hopefully, the next couple months will give us a better indication.

This didn’t age well. Amazing what 3 months can do for a young man. Angry Dahlin is a treat to watch.

Mommy, what does shitpumping someone mean

Girlfriend in College did that. The trick is keeping fresh ice nearby.

Lots of man ass and penii to be seen there

Technically, anyone can order a beer

Okie dokie put some more in my pipe and smokie

So this Buffalo “home” game is gonna be 80% Loaf fans right?

The tweet is from yesterday.

So this is post about Buffalo Sabre Rasmus Dahlin, quoting a tweet about the Washington Capitals, in the Leaf game day thread? Am I the only one doing this?

Sam Reinhart would be proud

Our minimum of 4 weeks. Can someone start to picket the Sabres medical staff outside the arena? Everyone that’s gets injured is out for months. WTF!

Eakin had a good game?

He’s filthy. Hate to play against him. He’d probably be my favorite player if the Sabres acquired him.

I’m trying to contain my enthusiasm but I haven’t been this geeked about a prospect since Mogilny defected. Obviously, there was reason to be excited about Rasmus, Sam and Jack but the expectations were so high; those guys almost had no chance to live up to it. The Quinn pick was scoffed at by the Rossi fanbois. Seeing this kid surpass everyone’s expectation has been invigorating.

Literally anyone is better than Eakin. I’m hoping there is a GM out there willing to part with a smelly used hockey bag for him.

I had hope for Asplund. At his best he’s a decent bottom six forward. At his current level of play, yikes. R2 might be the very definition of a tweener. Just not good enough for the NHL but lights up AHL players.

Which is why the Sabres need to keep adding skill. Krebs, Power, Quinn, Peterka, will make a big difference. Make a trade or two to balance the roster and we got something. There are at least half a dozen players on the Sabres who aren’t NHL players.
