That's one of my top 3 Jack Eichel highlights as a Sabre. Amazing play and the fans reaction was memorable!

Big hit on Tuch along the boards, Nashville really finishes their checks!

I can't remember the last time we won a challenge....maybe a good sign.

First, I doubt we'll be so lucky to get him. Since this thread is based on the assumption that we do get him, then my personal preference is to give him a chance to develop another year. However, we all know how attendance has been and the business side of the Sabres may want to create a reason to get fans back in the stands. Having Wright & Power on the roster may sell more tickets next season.

Perhaps, but with Dahlin, Power and Samuelsson expected to be competing on the left side, there is quite a log jam of young talent there. If Johnson were a right-handed player, I agree he would easily have a shot at making it. I personally like to see our defense playing on their proper sides during 5-on-5.

Agree, I fear he is close enough to opt to stay in school another year and become a free agent and sign wherever he wants. He may already notice there are two first overall picks already in the mix, plus Mattias and think his future is brighter somewhere else in the league.

Tokarski has been out so long he could have caught and recovered from Covid multiple times. I don't know anything about his situation, but it seems he has been out of commission much longer than I would have expected.

Might be more entertaining to turn up Rob's mic and listen to the "talking" between the benches.

Tampa 5-0 maybe a name for a new television show?

I still don't like Dahlin paired with Joki

Two of those three things happened on the same shift if I recall correctly. Perfect example of why the Sabres are so easy to play against, no fear on the other team that they will get hit by a Buffalo player.

Anybody know when Mittelstadt might return?

I presume Donny will pull UPL soon....4-1 final Correction....nevermind!

Yes...Bryson too (I'd rather see him in there vs. who dressed tonight).

Remember the "boobs" pic game from a season or two ago? That was a great game day thread!

I'd like to have a buck for every time we have been turned backwards or passed backwards breaking out of our zone.

Given how few RHD's we have and assuming his cost is reasonable, I'd bring him back for another year. Personally, I liked him best when he was paired with Dahlin (I actually prefer Pysyk with Dahlin vs. Joki).

Maybe a little like how Risto was used in the PP before?

I hope so, for some reason I like him and he seems willing to go to the dirty areas on the ice to make a difference. I like having some size in the lineup to challenge the opposing team's defense (just like our opponents seem to have no trouble out-muscling our defense). He seems to be developing at the NHL level. I would favor keeping him vs. the more expensive players like Bjork or Eakin.

Rob is confusing Tuch with Bjork and DD is going along with him.

IDK, looked like there was contact with an Isles defender that caused Bjork to roll into the netminder. Upon further review...nevermind. It was a legit penalty

Too soft on the defense there....just kept backing in vs. challenging Bellows.

Murray making his presence known on the PP.....pleasantly surprised!

I was impressed by Tuch's first game after such a long absence from the NHL.

Sorry if this has been mentioned numerous times before....but does JJP remind anybody of Max?
