Tondas

Halkidis. Plural - Halkidi. Typical over-hyped Sabres defense prospect that never lives up to potential.

I thought these guys played really well all game: Scandella Antipin Pouliot ROR Pommers

That's why us hard core keep watching.

This has been a different team from the second half of the second period.

I remember the "Shart for Reinhart" days.

Pouliot has worked hard tonight.

Continuing the Sabre tradition of Tape-to-Tuuk passes. Can't believe how bad the passing is.

Wade Phillips quote applies to Babcock. "He can take his'n, and beat ur'in. Then he can take ur'in and beat his'n."

Me too. Actually from the beginning. in 1970 I was a STH in the mid 80's when they were terrible as well (but not this bad). Coincidentally, Housley was on the team during that time.

Rhino for sure. There were a couple of threads this summer debating whether to trade Kane and/or Rhino. Kane is a proven commodity (and will be gold at the trade deadline). Rhino is a different story. Before this year, he may have been a "name" player, but not anymore. Waited too long to sell that asset,

I really think Guhle could help now, and I've seen enough of Porter/Paetsch. Who is proven and can help now?

Fasching/Baptiste fills for Rhino and Guhle for Risto. Might as well bring up the youngins.

Agree. I'd start with Rhino and Risto.

Bogo is the poster child for injury prone. Look at Risto. I know he's struggling now but that guy is durable. He's played in 280 out of 287 games with 3 of those games missed being a dubious 3-game suspension. What's the best ability: availability.

Chad needs to start in Vegas.

Contract year selfishness?

Sabres played a very simple period. Good to see.

Wow. Right in the Benoits.

I think any one of Antipin, Falk or Fedun is better than Tennyson. Not sure of the fascination with him.

I got a hernia just listening to her.

Just a hunch, but I think Chad is the starting goalie before 2018 rolls in.

Chad looking calm.

This is getting interesting.

Let's see what kind of grit this team has for the second half of the game.

Really liked the pace of the Sabres but I am concerned with the lack of physical play. Was there a hit by the Sabres in the first? The Habs are a non-physical team so it doesn't look as noticeable.
