Correct. That was my point. Instead of following the leaders brought in, they hung out with the bad influences (Bogo, Kane). Kevyn appreciates character and its affect on a young cohort of players better than XGMTM or JBot did. They just didn't "get" locker room dynamics.

They tried this when Eichel was here with Gionta (=Okie) and Gorges (=EJ), but... it wasn't the right time. The culture was so fractured then.

I think Benson gets his 9 games, then possibly Savoie,... then next man up out of Rochester.

Ummm.... the Stanley Cup part is a bit over the top.

12-1

For anyone who missed it:

I posted all my memes for the Sabres goal scorers plus my 6K meme in that thread.

I was looking for the hits stat before posting that. I still think we played more physical. If you have Evangelical friends my level of respect for you takes a hit.

We had several days of heavy rains and temps around 70+/-. Last night the cold front came through.

Yep. Autumn arrived in north Texas today. Cloudy and 46.

Not for nothing but I would say we out-phyiscaled the Avs. Looking at the two trips on Greeway: He was maneuvering for puck position each time and simply was stronger on his skates than the other guy. Neither one of those was a penalty to me.

Fair. I'll go Tuch and Skinner fourth stars for individual rushes that turned the tide. In the interest of full accountability: Too soon? Naaaaah.

3 stars in my book: UPL Mitts Dahlin

It didn't look good early.

The first few shifts of the game were tough. UPL stood tall early.

If Angry Runs was a thing in the NHL, Bryson would have won it for that shift.

Just affirming that.

Dominant shift!

I'm fine with it. I think the Avs started it.

Casey really does have mitts of silk.

Right. With the classic colors.
