It would all work if they didn't "fail to clear pucks" imo. Of course I'd like to see them grinding it out down at the other end of the rink but that's just me I guess.

Why do you even show Cozens in this list when Krebs had 16:26 of ice time and actually didn't even have a line (with the Sabres playing 7D and Malenstyn being the only winger on his "line" and he only had 6:58 TOI). Has Krebs passed Cozens on the depth chart? TOI sez so, at least for this game. Looks like Krebs was taking a lot of Cozens' faceoffs as well: Kulich: Took 17 (won 9 for 53%) McLeod: Took 14 (won only 5 for 36%) Krebs: Took 12 (won 7 for 58%) Cozens: Took only 7 (won 4 for 57%) On a tangent, throw in Zucker and Tuch both going 1-for-1 on the dot and the Sabres won the faceoff battle 52% to 48%. It seems that as the season goes on the team has improved.

Quinn looked like he had "arrived." (Just as Cozens had.) Just like Kulich is doing this season. Both Quinn and Cozens took steps back after convincing us they were the real deal.

I'll be here.

The bane of the Sabres existence are tight checking, high pressure teams. And yet here they are, winning games against tight checking, high pressure teams, partly with offensive creativity and partly with being hard to play against themselves. It seemed like there were very few uncontested pucks either way tonight. Wherever there was a puck, there was a player from each team striving to get it. The Sabres played a fairly tenacious game. I think if they get comfortable playing that style, the consistency will come.

This is a four game winning streak.

DAMMIT! Now I'll NEVER be able to retire!

So now they're saying Dahlin... what a country! And now back to Tuch.

I like Zucker pumping up Quinn on the bench after Quinn was frustrated he didn't put that shot where he wanted.

Really? Who did we get for him?

Pointless.

The intersection of Chippewa and Pearl in Buffalo.

For real? If Krebs had been out there he woulda gone, gotten his ass kicked, and then we'd still be complaining about how pathetically soft this team is. I really think they need to room Krebsie with Rob Ray on the road and let Rayzor teach him some stuff.

Not even if they rip off 20 in a row and make the playoffs?

Waddya mean "looks like"?

Give me a reason why it would be different. I want to believe but...

Checking.... yes he's old enough.
