Tuch went to the Scott Norwood shooting school.

BIg fat rebound on the Krebs shot.... couldn't get it.

"I know, if I get outworked I can just drop my stick, they'll call a penalty."

First shift goal, I'm calling it.

Now that's how you sing the anthem.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

What're you laughing at, Punch?

I was going to post something like this. I'll also add that while they blew 2 third period leads in the last 2 games, they at least got a point out of both, something they didn't do in recent seasons, when an extra point here or there would have playoff implications. I think hanging onto third period leads is the next thing to work on, but hey, at least they're getting third period leads. They're not for real, not yet. But my sense is they're moving in the right direction.

Youtube does it for you, gramps (and actually I think we're pretty close in age). If you are watching the video, click Share at the moment you want the shared video to start, and then click the timestamp box and it makes that the start time of the vid. /mansplaining

This is how it's done.

I don't care how much O Muel contributes, this will always be my favorite interview moment (to about 2:10).

He's held his own but really hasn't shown he belongs even in a middle six role to this point. I think he might be solid middles six when he's ready but he's just not ready yet.

Ah, but UPL with his salary probably would clear waivers. Just sayin'.

This is the way. I really think one of our 5-headed goalie monster is destined to be part of a trade. My gut feel is that they want to give UPL some visibility not to so much show what he's capable of, but to demonstrate to a potential suitor that he has recovered from his injury. He's played well in stretches and might be worth taking on (if the Sabres retain) to see if a change of scenery unleashes his potential. Another scenario is to work him back in as a back up and if he pulls his weight then trade young Ellis. But either way, I can see Levi being disgruntled. It isn't just that UPL is ahead of him in the pecking order, it's that the organization brought in two more goalies and he is definitely behind Lyon at this point, and likely behind Ellis in terms of depth. I know they can't move Ellis to the AHL without clearing waivers so it might be that in the overall scheme of things Levi is ahead of Ellis in terms of what the Sabres feel about him but due to contracts he's stuck in the A.

Dammit.

Not just Dunne's goal, but all night long the 4th line has looked pretty good offensively.

hella good play by Byram after he coughed up the puck
