Iron Crotch

He lit up Ohio State at Ohio State. The same team that just shut down Sam Darnold. He had a big game against Auburn last year in the Sugar Bowl. And, you'll get to see him against Georgia on Monday. We shall see... Seems like 5 or 6 QBs could go in the first round. If we can somehow keep both 1st rounders and get a QB with one of the picks, I'd be happy.

Jack was fired up in the third and in OT. He was the first guy to Risto after the OT winner. At some point they just need to give Jack the "C" on his sweater.

WTF just happened? Am I dreaming? Is this bizarrO world? Sabres OT win?

Risto!

Josefson on the ice in OT?

We should just pull the goalie for the 3-on-3. Probably our best chance to win an OT.

Yeah, I saw that. WTF?

Ooooh. I thought Jack had it.

Terry sent them a case of Genny Cream Ale.

Woah. A rare break for the Sabres. I still stand by my prediction. 4-3 OT loss. :P

Falk and Ball-you are an awful pairing.

Just as expected. 4-3 Devils. No way we're going to win this game.

Jack!!! Setting it up for the 4-3 OT loss.

Risto's point shots are just awful.

Three shots in the 2nd period and one thus far in the 3rd. Pretty hard to win that way. (outshot 20-4 over that span)

3 shots in the second period... and 2 went in.

2 goals. An offensive explosion for the Sabres!

Josefson... son of Josef. Pretty nice shot.

We've only scored 15 first period goals all season!

The Devils have won the first 5 games of their 6 game home stand. They'll get the 6 game sweep for sure with Buffalo in town. :bag: (watching the Devils' feed)

I'm sort of watching. ...watching up fall behind as usual.

I really like Mayfield and think he'll be a good pro. He doesn't have a huge arm, but he is insanely accurate and what I like most is his ability to process the game and make lightening quick decisions. Darnold was much worse this year than last. He just didn't look good in many games. But, he has the "upside" that pro scouts like. Ditto Rosen. I agree that it is a crap shoot trying to figure out which of these guys will raise their game at the next level. I'm kind of hoping we can get the guy we want without having to trade up.

Mason Rudolph looked really, really good in that bowl game. As a Virginia Tech alum, I was hoping he'd have an off day. :angel:

Post #2 in this thread! ...other than that I got nothing that hasn't been said a million times on this board. ;)

I watched the game on delay. The Sabres have played with a lot of effort the past several games and seem to be passing the puck much better than they were earlier in the season. To me that is evidence that they're growing into the new system. IMHO, it is glaringly obvious that the problem with this team is simply a lack of top-end talent. When you compare this roster man-for-man against any of the better teams, we just don't stack up. I agree with the assessment up-thread that poor drafting has been a killer for this organization. On another note, the Isles announcers are fantastic. Really enjoyed watching the away feed for this one.
