This game is tense, in a good way. But I really wish we were winning by 2 instead of 1, even if a two-goal lead is the Sabres' nemesis this year.

Yes, but Theodore put it in gear. As far as defensemen go, he makes most guys not named Makar look slow.

Anderson... please stop looking behind you. You've got this.

I mean... but that's not a penalty on the ice.

I'm not ashamed to say that I liked Buccigross as an announcer when he was on ESPN2. But I'm a bit older now and he likes Vegas too much and is playing the "this is 2 points for them" a bit too much. Be a bit more impartial, sir.

Hino takedown, extra punches only get a roughing instead of 2 for instigating and 2+ for roughing, a slash on Skinner.

Dang. I don't like to see Dahlin off the ice for 4 on 4.

Fitz is good little player.

Kolesar should get some extra time.

Muel is so good with his stick against a rush.

He's a good bottom-six option, particularly with his wheels. Certainly replace Bjork. OOOOOOhhhlloffff.... sonovab---

Meanwhile, Hino just neatly battled and cleared the puck out the d zone and got the puck up ice and into VGK's zone.

No one is talking about how Carrier was a Sabre! C'mon, Bucci.

*****, Asplund! Even worse that means Bjork is back in vs. Toronto if Rasmus the Middle misses any time.

Or bundle with Disney+ for the... Adventures in Babysitting franchise. Or some sort of cinematic franchise.

Hulu will win you over before Eichel's leg is broken. Now... a high ankle sprain isn't out of the question, but that's likely to be caused by the boards.

Great pass Cozens, great pass Hino, great finish Krebs. That was nice.

So the question becomes... if the Sabres play a really solid 2nd and maybe get a couple calls to go their way and bury a power play... can the Sabres do enough to get the ESPN announcers talking about them instead of Eichel? You can't boo the children! -- is the Sabres' media dept. thinking.

Good period... Adjustments: stop slashing them, I guess?

VO just didn't get it enough toward the post. But a very good save after getting caught out of the crease. Leave it all on the ice tonight, Sabres. You've got until Sunday to recuperate.

That's not how the Force the Concept Of the makeup call works!

And... the refs tell me: that's a paddlin' penalty and point at Krebs instead.

That's a penalty! Terrible miss. Hinostroza was off for a 1:1!

Good save right there. Eichel still getting tossed out of the faceoff dot I see. Skinner stepped on the puck?

And I should add that Asplund on the 4th line is soooooo much better than Bjork.
