NHL .500! Pour the Champagne of Beers. Sheevyn would've hung the Mission Accomplished banner.

I never knew I had it in me.

The Sabres pull ahead of the Canucks in the leaguewide standings.

Zucker was great until he hurt his shoulder, even before his illness. Great bump to the lineup and good play all around (even the penalty was fine). Hopefully, Benson gives them a similar bump when he gets back. They can play at a higher level. They just need to lose horribly once a week to re-stoke the fire. But winning 2 of 3 for the rest of the season will get them to the playoffs.

Working up the trade value!

I want the Blackhawks version of Paul Hamilton to ask them after the game: "Did you take the Sabres lightly? Did you not respect the game tonight?"

Remember one of UPL's victories over the Hawks is probably the one where TNT broke his stick on his shot, turned back toward the bench, and the puck hit the backboards, then caromed off the goalie's skate and in.

Several minutes behind now. Quinn... thanks to Zucker crossing the face of the goalie. Luukkonen: 3 on 17 is bad. Soderblom: 8 on 26 is... also bad.

But... Son of Ben... probably needs to be playing instead of being the 3rd broadcaster.

Was making dinner... Muel-PO!

Power guilty of a soft pass in his own zone. Get it out, or pass it hard. Don't mess around inside your blue line.

Bah! Good rebound goal. Muel couldn't find it fast enough, but that's how pucks bounce. It was contested, just got turned the wrong way.

Byram sneaks in. BB-4 for Four (on the season)! Ray actually makes a good point: Tuch didn't baby that pass, which the Sabres are guilty of way too many times each game. You're playing with the best in the world. Pass it with mustard. Make a sandwich.

They didn't do a drop pass!
