Doohickie

When I wrote my original comment on the subject I was thinking of the waiver thingy but forgot to mention it. When you brought it up I remembered something about 30 days. But I honestly don't know about how all that works plus I'm apparently only remembering things in small increments these days.

You're right, there's also the waiver issue, but if they cleared waivers at the season's start, they don't have to clear waivers again for 30 days, innit? They can just be sent back down? (Or are beginning-of-the-season waivers different?)

I can already see the improvement. He had a couple of gaffs yesterday (like getting caught in between on the first goal and not preventing the pass) but really if Krebsie covers the slot a little better that would not have been an issue. On the whole I thought Clifton played well last night, especially after Muel left the game (as did Johnson).

The line of thinking goes: The Sabres didn’t dominate time of possession as the SOG would suggest. Shot attempts (Corsi) were actually dead even. So, more of an even game than one the Sabres controlled. I would say based on my eye test, the truth is somewhere off from that. Perhaps the Bolts had so many missed shots because of pressure from Sabres defenders.... or something like that? So yeah, the Lightning got a lot of shots off but not nearly as many quality shots on goal because the Sabres were harassing them and preventing open shots.

You do realize that the first 2 games the Sabres were hot trash all around?

Maybe not, but if they know it's just a game or two I could see giving him that to bust his NHL cherry.

So is there going to be a Ryan Johnson callup?

If this is in addition to Between Two Stalls I'm good with it. If it's their attempt to replace it... eh.

Ironic, isn't it, that Benson is on the team in large part because Quinn was injured? Yes I know Benson earned his spot, but the Sabres would have had a much harder time creating spot to fill if Quinn were healthy.

They did okay against TB

Coulda swore it was Power. Joki was out there with him and everything....

You've obviously got your savanna animals confused.

You know how foolish this take is? Let it go.

Time to call up Johnson.

That was number 25.

"Good play by Dahlin." You said Dahlin a half dozen times. It was Power. Morons.

Oh no, that it was Dahlin who pulled him down, according to the announcers.

Dammit, that just pissed me off. Crappy ass bounce.

They need to institute a chaser on shootouts.
