Hard to say....but I wonder about his shoulder myself.

Yes....and I would add that I think this applies to scouting and drafting as well. IMHO, it is not hard to identify a player that "cares" quality in draft prospects. It may be harder to predict if their talent will succeed at the NHL level, but I wish I felt better about this organizations ability to draft kids who are already wired with a whatever-it-takes attitude vs. hoping they will develop it.

Yes....and sad to say that I think you accurately captured what the rest of the league feels is the modern Sabres' culture "MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY SOFT". That is the only image that consistently applies to this team over the last decade.

If the refs are going to be calling a bunch of BS phantom penalties against us...might as well get our money's worth and inflict some pain while we're at it. Montour should have just body slammed that little #63 @#$%! into the ice while he was at it.

Any player who comes to Boston knows this is the expectation and culture of being a Bruin. You assimilate or don't play. I am not ashamed to say I do envy that and wish Buffalo had it's own identity after 50 years....at least one that I can get behind.

My go-to play was having a winger pass the puck to the center, who could keep the puck away from the D-men. Most of my goals came from a 1:1 vs. the goalie from the slot. Fun times!

I had one of these as a kid....used a marble as the puck. Felt like the game was always being played along the boards....sometime the marble would even go into the goal as it rolled along the boards.

Casey's game is basically "pond hockey" and IMHO will not ever translate well in the NHL. Trade him now while we might still be able to get a Nylander-type deal before his value erodes further.

Common Bogo, you have to hit that EN goal...increase your trade value!

I like the Mojo, Skinner and Vesey line....they need more games together.

Montour showing a nice move with Risto's stick!

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.
