Refs must have early dinner plans. I'd rather have the refs call everything. Buffalo's not good enough to win 5x5. They are good enough to win the special teams battle though.

Sure, and he's going to make mistakes while he gains experience. Management has to balance his development with the needs of the team, though. They also owe it to the rest of the team to manage his ice time when he's struggling.

Yep.

The parts are greater than the whole. A bunch of skilled players not playing together and making dumb mistakes.

As much as I like Krueger, I think that most of these players would have benefited playing under a dinosaur coach for a couple of seasons. This team lacks fundamentals.

Start trading d-men for forwards and he can skate a regular shift.

Is Glimour going to be in the lineup tomorrow night?

He is playing a great game.

So in Botterill's 3rd year, they're still not close to being a contender? That's a difficult concept to accept.

The development of young players on the big club under Botterill has been alarmingly bad.

Are you talking about the game or the season?

When Jamie Vardy decides to have a party, there's not much you can do to stop it.

Too many goals against scored on plays from behind the Sabres net.

It'll be interesting to see the changes Krueger makes for Wednesday. Hopefully we won't see the Sobotka/Vessey penalty kill line ever again.

Eichel over-handeled the puck all night.

It was a nice offensive zone clear.

Vessey is not anything.

I bought a 50th an anniversary jersey to wear watching the games, but I think I might have been better off buying a Tshirt with Krueger's face on it.

Leafs lose in a shootout.

Extend Reinhart. Don't even think twice about it.

Ristolainen will thrive under Krueger's system.

Penguins up 5-1 on Columbus. Pretty good team when they're given a chance to breathe.

Great game and it was also great seeing all the highlights and photos of former players. This could be a fun season.

For five years Sabres coaches have talked about playing a transition game with speed. Tonight is the first time we can see what that actually looks like.

Whatever you say Ricky Bobby.
