TL;DR. What does Layla think?

WHAT? That's classic "hit from behind". Right on the numbers.

I'm hoping Miami. 😄 Go Cowboys! SQUISH THE FISH!

I went to watch the game at the Bills Backers bar here in Fort Worth. It's a Buffalo bar first, but a sports bar second and a lot of locals come to watch their Cowboys play. I typically sit with a group of guys out on the patio and for whatever reason today there was just us and another table of Bills fans; everyone else on the patio was rooting for the 'boys. If anything, it made the experience more enjoyable with the crowd of incredulous Cowboy fans. Kind of like Josh's coming out party on Thanksgiving 2019 against the 'boys. 😄

He reached out with his stick and tripped Tage; he has reason to be pissed.

Oopie.

Nice move, Rasmus. Now to the power play.

Considering their slow start, the Sabres look pretty good at the end of one.

JJP's speed is just mind blowing.

Moon whiners.

Yep. It didn't go well and he ended up on IR.

Conventional wisdom is that virtually every 18-year-old draftee needs a year or three to put on some muscle before playing in the NHL. Benson is a unicorn in that respect.

The whole team played like they were just off an illness in Colorado. Maybe the altitude change, I don't know. But they all sucked against the Avs. They owe UPL a better effort tonight.

His big "mistake" yesterday was getting his stick slapped from behind as he tried to clear the puck from the slot. I'm not sure I'm going to call that a glaring error or just ***** that happens in a scrum. Overall though he's produced more points that he's allowed, with his long breakout passes.

He pulled Muel's helmet off.

So many goal meme ideas that sadly probably wouldn't get past the censors.

When it comes to interviews, Levi is the anti-Eichel.

Think about this for a minute: The tying goal for the Sabres came off a fast, perfectly located shot by Casey Mittelstadt. Think about that. Casey Mittelstadt. Perfect shot. Huh.

I'm confident Benson can handle 1LW and 3C simultaneously.

Well Murray obviously. But then... Jost? Olofsson? Okie? I'm not that worried about that.

Let's see what's going on with that line until Skinner returns. Benson may cement 1LW by then, or may be ready to slip back down a line or two. But it does seem that the better his linemates are, the better he plays. I think Skinner will be an asset on any line he plays on when he comes back, but it might not be the first line anymore.

When you see him skating on the same line as Tage..... !

Holy f**k!
