I can still see Kasparaitis grabbing the puck and throwing it into the stands in my mind's eye.

Who are all of them? BTW, the first time that the Sabres won a best-of-five or a best-of-seven series after failing to win the first two games was 1997 against Ottawa.

One upside could be that they break in Levi more patiently -- assuming that Comrie and UPL continue to be passable.

The last one is Pat LaFontaine and Randy Wood, right?

This is a very good test for this team.

My wife likes El Palenque.

Soupy did not play a ton before 2005-6. He did not grow up until the Umberger hit. He was gone less than 2 season after.

"A pair of pistol packing punks..." Oops. Which Sabres could have won the Conn Smythe instead of Girgensons again?

I was about to say, "only after the last stroke of midnight when they win the Stanley Cup."

Why? Is Levi hurting?

This is the flaw in developing talent by preaching offence first. In particular, the forwards look like they know there are defencive assignments, but they have not internalised their basic positioning yet, let alone executing the system. If they had been taught defence first, we might be here wondering if they could score.

I disagree: it needs to down by 50.

Good for him. He is well-liked around the league. Kudos for the Senators for doing this for him.

Do tell. My memory is failing me on the name.

What vaccine do you need?

They are aware that decentralising the draft is what led to Taro Tsujimito's draft, right?

Tage seems hesitant out there, as if he still has not mastered some more nuances or new responsibilities of the system.

Welcome back!

I would not be surprised if that was by design for national broadcasts. When I had season tickets, even when the intermissions were nominally the same length, the time from the horn ending one period to the face-off starting the next period always took 1-2 minutes longer than usual. I figured that it was not an accident.

Half-facetious question: should the title now be to replace Jost with Savoie?

That is how it looks.

Welcome to the board. Bales is supposed to be one of the best in the game. If he is, that says a lot about the goaltenders we have had the past few years.

Welcome to the board!

Ask Stevie Wonder. Seriously, though, I do psychologically feel better when I wear a jersey to a game. There is no correlation with winning, though.

Welcome to the board!
