Sorry but it wasn’t ... poor Eichel trying to make plays but no one moves so he can’t and therefore has to hang onto it for an extended period of time. Share the blame? Sure I can buy that. But Eichel at times (like tonight) hangs onto that puck way too long. I’ve noticed it more and more the past 2-3 weeks. He definitely takes some of the blame in my book. Move the puck Jack.

A machine.

Are you just as mad when Eichel holds onto the freakin puck on the PP for 7-9 seconds multiple times in one PP? It’s so annoying and counter productive. Move the puck Jack.

It does ?

Reinhart!!! beauty pass by Dahlin!

Ah ok. Yea I just wanted to be sure I get the MSG-B version and not the MSG NYC version on Fubo. Spectrum told me if I dropped everything except internet... it would be $75 a month. Then add on $55 a month for Fubo. That’s already $130 a month. Then if I add Disney or Netflix or Hulu or Amazon prime ... ugh! Decisions decisions ...

Ya know ... I was thinking of eventually going to Fubo. Are you in the Buffalo area or out of town? I dropped one of Spectrums cable box on one TV. Thinking my rate would go down by $8 a month. Nope. My rate went up because they claimed I was on a package deal and no longer applies because I dropped a box. .... Vampires.

You’ve got 3-4 mins Nice anthem singer

Keeping the optimism going ... how long ago did they win 4 in a row? October? Sabres 4-3 Eichel, Mojo, or Joker with a goal.

It's a game night in Nashville. The Sabres visit the Predators for their final game before the bye week. They have won three straight games and five of their last seven, coming off a 4-1 victory in Dallas on Thursday. Coverage on MSG begins at 7:30 p.m., or you can listen to the game on WGR 550. Puck drop is scheduled for 8. It's the second and final meeting between the two teams this season. The Sabres won the first matchup, 4-3, in Buffalo on Dec. 12. Jack Eichelscored two goals while Linus Ullmarkmade 36 saves. The Predators have had an uncharacteristically inconsistent season to date. They parted ways with coach Peter Laviolette on Jan. 6 and replaced him with John Hynes, the former New Jersey Devils coach, the following day. They're 2-3-0 since then, coming off a 4-2 loss to Anaheim on Thursday. A glance at the numbers suggests special teams have been the problem. Nashville is plus-22 at 5-on-5, but its power play ranks 25th (16.6 percent) and its penalty kill sits in 30th (73.1 percent). The Sabres, meanwhile, have benefitted from their special teams play as of late. Though the power play went 0-for-2 against Dallas' top-ranked penalty kill after going 6-for-13 in five games prior, the penalty kill was a perfect 4-for-4. Michael Frolik capped the effort with an empty-net, shorthanded goal.

I think if you say SPOILER ... skip a few lines (leave space) followed by what you want to talk about, that’s fair .... that way if someone wants to read reactions or people grading the movie, and not accidentally start reading spoiler stuff ... I think if EVERYONE did that it would respect those who haven’t gotten the chance to see it yet. just a thought

Frolik has had 5 games as a Sabre. Five. It took him what? A week or so to get comfortable? The horror. Frolik isn’t some 2nd line underachiever. He’s a rather average 3rd liner. He’ll be fine. He’ll also most likely be here for another 3 months, and move on.

First ... that’s a weird unfortunate affliction you have there. Second, start pointing out now or in the future, what you think is “undo” praise. I mean, you aren’t making that up, right? So point it out. I’d love to see that.

Which of course means a 50/50 split if we’re lucky ?

They are playing “takin care of business” in the locker room ?

Nice solid game for close to 60 mins. Dallas looked unmotivated especially in the 3rd.

Does anyone follow a reporter or someone who posts scouts in the building each game? I don’t...

Yea the attending scouts are “published” every game. I’m just not sure how to find it lol.

Yea I was waiting for his aggression to turn into a dumb penalty. I know the ref was watching him closely. I think he lucked out.

He over commits on plays more than I’m comfortable with. Biron describes it as needing and having a quiet upper body. Ullmark does not have that.

Please don’t compare Brodeur to Ullmark. ?

Bell curve. ? I’m waiting for the bottom to drop out. Hard. Hope hope hope that doesn’t happen of course.

Two for embellishment

I hope that’s tongue in cheek because using “magical” is a tad strong. It was flat out a nice pass, and an equally nice finish by Vesey.
