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.

That shot by Tage was Vintage Thompson. You love to see it.

Irony. He's not playing and the Sabres winning, so obviously he was the problem.

He's got a little Jack Hughes in him. The Mature Core line is Skinner-Tage-Tuck The Young Core line is JJP-Cuzzy-Benson And then we still have a guy like Mittsy that's Top Sixy on the third line (when everyone is healthy)

Peterka is just. So. Good.
