Win the 3rd, win the game.

Maybe we should get our assess in gear again

No surprise

"Where he's struggled quite a bit, though, was the physical game. This is arguably where we've seen the most growth from Östlund this season. If last season he got pushed around a lot against men, he's now frequently coming out on top from board battles, leveraging his posture as an advantage to win body positioning. He's still not the biggest or strongest, but he now has more physical skill than before."

This will seem like a shot at Eichel but not my intention. Is the only Jack Eichel continues to be mentioned in these lists because of his draft status?

On the Skinner pass, I literally was like "oh that's a goal" so yup. That said, I am excited to see how Tage keeps evolving. I'm not convinced we have seen his best.

Oh yea, Krebs and Mitts both played really well last night. I like that Krebs is a s#!t stirrer and that Mitts seems to have settled into a role that he is doing well at. Great plays by Mitts and Krebs to keep that puck alive and Quinn firing that quick shot certainly caught Vasilevsky off guard.

Im not sure I saw Bryson as the 3rd went on. He was not good at all last night, the speed and physical play of Tampa was overwhelming for him. Mattias Samuelsson looked meh again. He really had some struggles last night and idk if he is injured or hitting a bit of a wall but we need more out of him. I would say the same thing for Power. Owen needs to learn that this is the NHL, he can lean into guys. Comrie was meh. He made saves at the end at OT which is great but I thought a couple of other goals should have been saved. Buffalo faded in the 3rd as Tampa really turned it up a level. I thought the Sabres did okay-ish dealing with it but still need more. Ilya Lybushkin decided after the Okposo hit that he was going to choose violence and turned into a wrecking machine. Idk if the Stamkos thing was a penalty considering that Stamkos hooks the stick and then flings himself to the ice. I honestly don't care after the blatant missed elbow. Tage, Skinner, and Tuch and Dahlin... my oh my. Cozens and Quinn were noticeable at times but you see some of the youth come out for both now and again. Just not quite there yet. Peterka... woof. Just a bad game and he has had several now. He needs to simplify his game and instead he is trying to do everything. Disliked this game a lot from him and might sit him tonight for Asplund. Overall we won but it was a lopsided game in the 3rd IMPO. We needed a little more push and more control.

Here we go again.

It was Mitts getting off late but Taro's point about he wasn't suppose to change is valid.

Hope the beer snake comes out

If Dahlin tops 90 and the Sabres get to the playoffs, you gotta give him the Norris. He's that good right now.

"I just try to shoot puck" - Lyubushkin

Can we talk about how happy that team was for Boosh.

Lol
