Joker with another good, casual, deflection out of play.

(For on-ice actions.)

From a certain point of view... It was a good signing and good annual cap hit for a PP1-capable guy (and 2nd-pairing overall). He was far and away their best defenseman at the time. Curse those front-loaded deals and the League punishing teams for doing what was legal. The League made a good player untradeable and unretirable.

Whoa! On this TNT shift there were 2 Sabres in front of the SJ net... at the same time!

Luukkonen looking sharp when he isn't being scored on by his teammates.

Owning the boards. Obviously, Mitts, Tuch, and Greenway are the perpetrators. This is the Greenway! Tie game.

Good shift by the kid line, nice wrap pass by Cozens for the easy JJP finish. Well done.

We need to let Johnson play in front of the net on our powerplay. That was a Reinhart/Vanek-level deflection.

Good gravy! Flawless deflection by Johnson.

Well shoot. I turned it on and... sigh. Flawless screen by Bryson.

Because the league doesn't care and has no desire to truly suspend someone, this is exactly why a) the players need to immediately exact some retribution on the ice, and b) the Sabres need someone reckless enough to be Gallagher on their behalf. Is it a good solution? No, not at all.

The Concept of Ehrhoff will be with you... always.

Not even Star Wars-related nicknames?

We just have to wait until the 2028-29 playoffs (spring of '29)... Cups galore. Based on the Sabres' potential picks: 1st-Celebrini, 2nd-Lindstrom ... 7th-11th take the best d-man available or trade it for that top-4 d-man with some term.

It's the unfamiliarity and perceived star power. Thompson's their best forward? Check. He took a ton of shots although most were not on net. He also took penalties and was a bit physical. So... he was noticeable. He's very tall. It should have been JJP 1 and Quinn 2 if you're obsessed with handing out the automatic home team star.

Since Comrie last played (12/5), they're scuffling along at DeLuca .500. 11-9-2 Still inconsistent, still nowhere near playoff pace or showing any fancy stat indications that they'll be capable of a hot streak, still awful game starts and powerplays. On the positive side, maybe they draft outside the top 10.

Folks will wake up surprised to be sure, but a welcome one.

Good comeback despite some poor early goaltending from Levi. Eventually, the Kings stopped skating hard and embraced their inner stormtrooper accuracy. JJP-Cozens-Quinn brought it.

If they could avoid spotting every team 2 goals in the first period... Cozens! ...and could get even a moderate powerplay... there's some potential there.

Wooohoo! Good shot, Janson!

Just standing around in their zone with the puck waiting for the Kings forecheckers to engage. Thompson especially, but the entire team just lackadaisical.

I swear Quinn has had at least 5 pucks jump over his stick on the blue line while on the powerplay this season. edit: And not clearing attempts, rather on flubbed passes from his teammates.

Nice movement on that PP.....

The dreaded tie-game PP forthcoming

Quinner!
