That is a Harry Nilsson song the keep repeating (on ESPN+). Great artist.

Calling on Skinner, Tage, Mitts and Dahlin to carry this. Time to close this out in the 3rd.

Too much shuffling, but injuries driving it.

Duffer and Marty are excellent. Ok Sabres, win the third and win the game.

That was terrible… we gave up 3 high danger chances while on the PP.

Thank you Skinny. I wanna dance with somebody.

I miss Tuch.

Levi has been excellent

Change the PK 53 and 24 yuck.

I did not see blood. This is over officious.

Bogo with a flagrant knee on EJ.

@PASabreFan - The Sabre Dance was playing on the organ during the break and and fans were not getting involved or into it. Change in generation or apathy?

No doubt that playing a heavy game can slow us down, such as Montreal and Philly. Minnesota can also play that way, and they have some skill to add. This game will be a battle. The Sabres have to hit another gear.

Tough to see the PK fail at a critical time. That goal keeps them in. I thought the Sabres were lackluster for too many minutes. Rob Ray is overstating things. The Sabres need to wear them down in the second period, that means they have to play much better in the 2nd period.

Erican Ek - have another one Rob.

Let’s get a shorty.

Nice to see Joker get another. He is contributing.

If he can hold a top 6 spot in the nhl he should stay. If not, I prefer he plays every game in Rochester, and call him up as needed. No doubt, he is going to be good.

Clifton is playing much better lately. (Hope I don’t jinx him)

Now do you mean the opposite?

Good Evening Teammates, Punch checking in. Opportunity knocks tonight. I want them to go out and get this game, and get the crowd excited. Hockey fights cancer, an event I love about the NHL. Good Anthems Go Sabres!!! MUSCLE WEIGHT

This keeps coming up. I don’t live there anymore, left when I was 23, but I go there a lot in my middle agedness. Love the place. My only answer is Buffalo supported both the Bills and the Sabres with capacity crowds the norm, plus the Braves and Little 3 basketball, and they did it in the prior century. I would think they are better economically today than in the 70’s.

I prefer to see Tuch play and Savoie take VO's spot.

Ok @PASabreFan, you need some cheering up. AHL Town? Sure, Buffalo is a small market, but Buffalo has the NFL, 13 NHL cities do not, we also had and supported the NBA too. ECHL Hockey arena? The place needs a renovation but its far beyond both ECHL or AHL levels. On top of that Harbor Center adjacent to it is a draw for college, Junior and youth hockey and tournaments. It is a hockey town even without the NHL. JC game presentation? I actually prefer the 60-70-80's style presentation instead of the over the top stuff that teams are doing. They can improved this but I have been to games in other NHL cities with fake piped in noise, Rick Flair Whooooo's, and stupid stuff that is a distraction from hockey. Luke Warm fan support? We were promised Hockey Heaven and instead we got Pegula Purgatory. We are still far from the days of rabid fans and no tickets available, but we can get it back by winning.
