"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." Calvin Coolidge

Once again, the extra pass instead of shoot and crash.... why?

For us, that's a melee.

Games like this are an indictment of leadership. I'm sorry, Rasmus Dahlin is a fine and talented player, but I have a sneaking suspicion he isn't much of a locker room leader.

That's what he said!

PP.. maybe we'll get a SOG

Well, this is shaping up to be one of those lifeless efforts that is far too common. There will be no fight to try to generate energy. Just skate around and try not to get hurt.

The good news: There are still two periods to go! The bad news: There are still two periods to go.

Bet Cozens enjoyed that

Let's Gooooooo!!!!

With just a touch more grit.

So you can witness what you complain about?

Way to gut one out and get the W.

Go get that other point, dammit.

Is it asking too much that WE get a late game power play opportunity?

If the NHL had any integrity, they would take plays like that, blur the teams jerseys, and put them before a review board. Based on that review board, the reviewers would get reviewed and reprimanded/fined, as appropriate. The Sabres organization are a punching bag with no clout, and it shows.

Brutal call

Pizza going to take an hour?

Given how that period went, if some level of desperation isn't obvious at the puck drop, then they're not playing for each other (or the sweater).

Crap period. Win the third and get at least a point.

But, why? Talent? Coaching? Intelligence? Desire?
