JJ Ping.

That was a penalty? What?

Thank goodness for little blue pills, innit?

Great vision by Zucker.

Luuk wants that one back.

We got this. This is the Sabres Rich Strike year.

This comes to mind...

Ugly.

Jock itch can be mighty uncomfortable.

My guess is $20-30 per person and stadium prices on food and drinks.

I'll take a hit off that pipe please.

We kinda said the same thing about Jake McCabe, innit? So Joki isn't the boat anchor everyone say he is?

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Not sure if anyone remembers the band Primitive Radio Gods. They had a song that got airplay titled, "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand" with was kind of a dreamy stream of consciousness composition that went on for over 5 minutes. Something reminded me of that song and I looked it up, then looked up the album it came from. It's actually a pretty good album. Most of the songs are not so disorganized as Standing Outside; they're more normal alt rock fare. Some guide guitar work though, I kind of like it.

Forwards I trust to backup a pinching Dman: Tage (speed, wingspan) Kulich Benson Krebs Kozak Oh, and Girgensons when he was still here.

Rosen had 1 shot on goal. The line had 5. They had 10 shots as a line the previous game, but only 4 shots the game before that. So it was in line with a "quiet" night for that line. The line as a whole was -1 in the +/-. Considering that's the Sabres top line, you might say he dragged them down, but as an individual I think he acquitted himself well.

Earlier in the season, the style of play of the Sabres recent opponents (high pressure, contest every puck, disrupt the rush, etc.) would have meant doom. Those teams aren't necessarily great teams, but the Sabres style did not match up well against teams that continually pressure. We've only seen "typical" Sabres play in the first game of the streak against Boston- high power offense slicing through the other team. The other three were more workman-like, giving up little defensively while capitalizing on limited offensive opportunities. If the Sabres are ever going to be competitive in the NHL, they need to know how to play the latter style. This is what Lindy is referring to as "grinding it out."

While I can't argue with you there, he did take a lot of faceoffs for a "winger." It would be interesting to dig into the stats and see which forwards were on ice for every faceoff, this game being a little weird due to 11 forwards dressed. I've said things along these lines before, but this team has 99 problems, but Peyton Krebs ain't one. He's not a $7 million dollar player either, but he fills a useful niche. Thanks to Donny Meatballs for training him for that assignment.
