Those were a couple of exciting draft years....6 1st rounders in two consecutive years. .500 success with #6, #25 and #30 being HOF caliber players. Not so good with Cyr, LaCombe and Creighton.

To my eye, it's the "I don't give a crap" factor.

Too many mental errors!

Yup! And he was not very convincing in his tone either. If he included the word "maybe" then his words would match his tone.

How bad does Philly want to hit 10? It's a great game to pad your stats.

It may depend on what happens with Sam. If Sam is gone, Jack will not want to stick around.

Maybe the ref's felt that the Sabres have taken enough punishment already....mercy...mercy!

Somebody tell the Zamboni driver that he doesn't need to bother with half the ice surface during the intermission.

I'd almost like to see the Flyers goal total exceed the Sabres SOG's. Chew on that Jbot....and choke on it!

A proactive GM understands that injuries are part of this game. Shame on JBot for building a team so incredibly thin at center and RW to start the season. He had no contingency for this kind of situation. He is an idiot if he thinks that Jack, Mojo, whoever will play a full 82 games.

I don't think a successful PK will matter. Philly has already scored enough goals to win this game.

Nothing Hutton could do there....

Looks like Mojo promoted to the first line C. Maybe this will get him going.

Philly's defenses are designed around a direct large-scale assault. A small one-man Eichel should be able to penetrate the outer defense.

Just don't let Mathews get a hattie!

I would argue Mojo has not had it since he returned to the lineup. He does not look like the same player from early in the season. And since he's our supposed best 2C, anybody see a problem here?

I'd like to believe this, but I smell another Swedish RH defenseman and smallish left winger next June.

It's Buffalo....so it's more like "Pass at will!"

Sorry, but don't see that happening, especially with his new contract. The coaching staff refuses to put him into a position to be successful, which is with a good center, whether it be Jack or whoever. Pairing Skinner with Erod is not a recipe for success. He's proven goal scorer when coupled with a decent center.

What I hope to see in the 3rd: 1. Jack gets a point 2. Somebody on Buffalo gets pissed and takes it out on a Leaf 3. Kruger finally puts Skinner back with Eichel 4. Sabre's management and coaching get shocked back into reality that this roster still has glaring needs

Was that play on-side?

Seems like all the Sabres need a dose of that stuff tonight!

I really don't like Toronto, but that's me. Watching these two teams playing each other now is such a disappointment vs. the longstanding rivalry intensity we saw in the past. No emotion, no intensity, just two teams playing like they're just going thru the motions.

I expect another crap officiating job tonight. Our PK may be busy while our PP get's little work this evening.

I don't dislike Casey, but I am not convinced he can be a bonafide top 6 forward in the NHL If he can't impress in Rochester, then I say he is a similar bust to Nylander and that all we can hope for is a reasonable trade.
