We are not marksmen.

I see what you see. The kid goes to the net and seems to like creating chaos in the paint. Big plus for us. Hoping it’s his normal game. Let him loose, Lindy.

Too soon to say. He’s 24. Has a few years before his prime. Produced 28 points last year on mostly 4th line. His defense is no liability. +/- neutral player. If he fails to generate more offense still a valuable piece given his compete and intangibles, imo Watch him interact with teammates on the bench. Kid is enthusiastic and upbeat. 80 game player last two years. Easy to see why Ruff likes him.

High compete. Plays hard every shift. Krebs, Benson, Zucker. Looks like Doan is high compete. We could use a few more guys like this group, imo.

Think Power showed the game he is capable of against Ottawa. Fast, aggressive, physical. Had not seen that from him before. Would give him a season or two to get stronger and smarter to develop that game. It’s in there if he decides to be that player. If Power turns out to be nothing more than a weak D offensive D man who will score 20+ goals, would let a new GM trade him while he still has draft pedigree promise for a skater of equal goal scoring value with proven compete, will to win, and Cup experience.

Sometimes?

Power played physical today and with emotion. Had a Panthers in a headlock from behind defending a teammate and was giving the Ref some lip leaving the ice between periods. Played a strong net game today clearing out bodies. Been down on Power myself since he got here, but he showed me what kind of game he is capable of. Maybe he shed a skin and has grown his confidence and his game. I want to see more of this guy who earned a Star today.

Timmens 6 blocks.

Bravo, Sabres! This is the effort we need this season.

Lyon! Shut out!!! Boom

Pressure. Nice.

Perfect timing.

Look at Power giving the Ref some lip. Love it. The Giant has awakened.

Refs are pathetic

Great period. Sabre Hockey!

Almost Sabres playing loose and free. Creating chances. Love it.

Greer is a punk.

Boom! Power Slippery move!

Doan! That’s 2 for the kid!

What a punk ass move by Marchand. Pulling off the helmet straps. Punk.

Tuch absent again. No shots. No hits. No blocks. What’s up with him?

Dumb penalty.

Was that really Power with his arm around that guys neck?? Go Power!

Thompson trying to do it all himself. Should have passed when he had the puck behind the net.

If Ruff had any brains he would give Zucker an A.
