Doohickie

I think the differences between the way we view him is smaller than our descriptions of our views; I don't think we're that far apart.

MUST WIN

Sure, we'll pass Tampa. But what about Wash, NJ, NYI, Pitt? We don't have games in hand on any of them, and in fact the Pens are two points ahead of us and have three games in hand.

"Imaging"

While I agree with all of that, I think he's also one of the country club guys that is content with not making the playoffs. That's a two sided coin though: He also doesn't agitate (aka ROR losing his love of the game) when the team doesn't make the playoffs. Again.

Given that the Sabres were third in scoring last season, I thought it was reasonable to assume that they'd be in at least the top ten in goals this season. I don't know what to believe anymore.

So you're saying you don't like when people use "bell rung" to mean "hit in the head"? Sounds like a personal problem.

They subbed in Olofsson on the top line for the rest of practice, but I expect Benson will bump up to the first line, and Jost will skate with Krebs and JJP tomorrow night. Benson - Tage - Tuch Greenway - Mitts - Cozens Jost - Krebs - JJP Robinson - Girgs - Okie ...but perhaps not, if Donny thinks the Benson - Krebs - Peterka line is gelling.

Not sure what that's supposed to mean.

He got his bell rung yesterday for sure.

It's beyond that. It is no more.

I didn't realize you were a savant.

I've noticed in the last few games he's pulled a maneuver or two that just makes me go... whoa. It was the setup for today's goal but there was another one earlier. As JJP and Benson learn what Krebs can do and they get in sync, this could be a really, really good line.

Wait, you can do that???

Detroit tied it.

Another call that should have gone the other way.

In the annals of penalty kills that will go down in history as epic.

They could have called interference either way there.

Cozens right now reminds me of Casey a couple of years ago. Makes two or three good moves but that last move is one too many. Hopefully the light goes off like it did for Mitts. Girgs trying for another one of those bad angle goals.

Maybe he'll be to the Sabres what Jack Eichel is to the Golden Knights.
