They’ll be replaying that highlight back in Rochester…tonight on the bus ride home… and tomorrow in the video review… Thing of beauty.

Other than Faceoffs and Hits… we are outplaying them… Much better effort tonight

Leafs sure back check… Tage was smothered by three skaters

Levi rebound control… Nice

34 seconds… Hockey character

Skinner… Boom… Yeah, baby

Great effort… Boom… Hockey character

Shoot Shoot Shoot

Tuch’s reaction was priceless

Boom… Finally… Glad to get that monkey off our back.

Come on PP… Be direct… Be decisive… Shoot… Get to the net… Score…

Our passing off again so far

Damn turnover

Leafs PP is impressive… All business

Geez Tuch

Holy Crap… My NHL Center Ice Sabre Channel is working tonight!… Missed the last two games because it wouldn’t connect… Spent an hour on the phone with Comcast this morning… Wonders never cease… Go Sabres!

Division rival… certainly for a playoff spot… Big TV audience… Granato and Okposo better send the team out flyin tonight… and play a 200 foot game for 60 minutes… Play for pride… Show everyone what you’re made of… You can do it when you want to… Win or lose… give us a good game, boys.

When I listened to KO’s post game interview last night… thought his tone was discouraged… even somewhat resigned… As if he’d seen this act before… A tone I didn’t expect from a Captain after that performance… Yet he said the words you’d expect to hear from him… Merciful… Would like to have heard some anger at the effort of his team… Same goes for Granato… would like to have heard some public anger at the effort… instead of disappointment … so the team could hear it and read about it the next day in the BN and hear it discussed on hockey podcasts Team needs a serious ComeToJesus meeting… But my guess is… they’ve already had one…

We have plenty of skill players who love the game… We don’t have many skill players who live the game… Players who come prepared to play every game… Players who play hard every minute of every shift… Our skill players might have personal character… but too many lack hockey character.

This is on Granato and his coaches…

Replace the PP Coach..

Shoot the puck…

Law of Large Numbers will catch up with our PP sooner or later… Now would be a good time.

Cozens wins the faceoff… Power gives it away…

Not enough to redeem him… but it’s a start.
