Doohickie

I'm not arguing I'm just trash talking. Relax.

I'm planning the parade.

Let us not forget the role Mitts played in the final minutes. He disrupted at least three Boston shots that would have been Grade A chances. For a guy with a stat line of 0 all the way across, he played a helluva game.

but not good enough to get us to the playoffs, so... not good enough.

Boston looked..... .... .... ........................soft?

Right. Really good, but not good enough.

He was spewing some juicy rebounds... but the Sabres didn't capitalize. They scored on straight up shots though, so it's okay.

Linus who now?

I like yours better.

Howard Simon. Duff's been ill.

I said earlier: Girgs has hands of stone, Okie is slow. Krebs is alone out there with those two in terms of scoring. Robinson in place of Girgs is that increase in skill that makes scoring a, ummm, realistic goal for the line.

83.3% tonight!

Joki is 3rd... at least PP wise.

No, MacAvoy knocked MacAvoy out of the game. JJP just stood up to the hit.

I'm pretty sure he meant to pass it but mishandled the puck and had enough time to get a good shot off.

And the Bruins pushback? A cheapshot from Marchand that gets called. Love it.

I thought he looked "okay" last game, but that's understandable: He was shaking off the rust. Tonight though he looks better than he's looked all year. I think this means no more Tage on the PK.

HAHAHA.... Howard Simon just used the phrase Vintage Tage Thompson in the Studio. He reads Sabrespace!

No, they only need 8 more minutes. This is an 80% league.

Eh. Maybe, but this whole game they've looked like paper bruins. Soft even. Part of it I think is you can't hit what you can't catch and the Sabres are moving their feet tonight.

...in the future. At some point. I promise.
