Seriously this could be 6-5 Buffalo in the lead.

Tarasenko's a pretty player. Now I can start worrying....

Still no worry, but the chances are high quality and it'd be nice to start burying some of them.

Butcher, Butcher, Krebs...

Ok... go get that one back. No need to worry or hurry.

The Sabres are getting lots of deflections tonight. In the dark times November-February this year it felt like the opposition was getting 3 or so good deflections on us each game. Tables... turning...

Power's first assist.

Blerghitty blergh.

I'd like to see Krebs shoot there. If he learns to shoot to the pads for a rebound as an option, his vision and moves could open up even more chances.

Based on some recent charts... articles... podcasts... Asplund is dynamite defensively. If he scores routinely... and the Sabres make the playoffs, which is a prerequisite... sneaky Selke votes.

Career + Owen.

What ... that's icing? Wave that junk off.

Oh! Asp.... almost.

Gooooooool! Asplunder! (And Sabres lead 6-1 in faceoffs) Two seasons ago when Asplund was with Eichel and Reinhart he displayed some really nice hands... if he can build on this... that's one more brick in the wall.

I remember when Thompson's seemingly only move was a curl-and-drag into a snap shot. Growth of young players is fun.

It's my final game of the season before vacation kicks in, so let's go in Sabres and go in full throttle. Hope you have the mildest of mild symptoms and perk right back up!

The Concept of the Kassian Moulson Ehrhoff with be with you... always. In 6 years, the NJ 5th-round pick they got for taking Butcher is going to be a monster for this team on a run to their second Cup.

Sometimes you're feeling a bit run down. Maybe you've been on the road and are missing home. Maybe you're on a bit of a losing streak. But when you're going through those times... all it takes is a little visit to Toronto and the Leafs to perk you right back up again. Get you back to smilin'.

Vegas is at CGY on Thursday and at EDM on Saturday. Those are 2 teams that a) can easily defeat Vegas on home ice, and b) should be supremely motivated to keep Vegas out of the playoffs. Because if healthy and without any cap limitations, Vegas could get very dangerous. Calgary needs to keep Vegas from getting the #4 seed in case Dallas flounders down the stretch and Edmonton needs to keep Vegas from getting the #3 seed in case the Kings collapse.

Unfortunate that VAN blew a 2-goal lead and let Vegas earn a point. Stone is back in the lineup and Vegas very easily could overtake the Kings now. Of course, they just put a handful of folks on LTIR, so if they're beset by another rash of injuries their depth will be out for a few weeks, too. Edit: The good news is that the Kings' schedule is fairly easy to close out the season.

You'll need to buy that domain name. True. I can't see a GM (other than GMTM) trading a pick for a college athlete who clearly could easily walk after the next season. It wouldn't be prudent. It'd be called "pulling a Vesey".

Boneless wings are the bomb. They're so much more efficient. Like... Applebee's. Is what I would say if I were a rookie Sabre trolling the locals.

Unlike Eichel, Reinhart, Risto, Dahlin, Girgs, etc., etc., etc.... Power has the opportunity to remain a plus player his entire Sabres career! (with good goaltending)

When Quinn adds 30 that'll help (in place of Bjork's 4).
