Doohickie

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!

No. Levi is not going back to Rochester. Did they now? He's a good player, someone will pick him up.

In case the guys in the back aren't listening

This is where Krebsie is a major contributor. There will come a day when he is Hinostroza and dropped by the team but right now they need him. If he can improve his game a bit, maybe they keep him on.

I think Benson will actually be good for Tommer. He will get him grounded again. (In a good way, I mean.)

Levi was f***ing amazing.

Yeah, I kind of think having a Buffalo Sabres #9 on the ice that wasn't him messed his head up.

Levi is never going back to Rochester. Now they need to waive Comrie.

First time I saw the overhead view of the Toyota Big Save. Ridiculous!
