That's old history now.

Skinner being Skinner 😄

Sabres are way too passive in their own defensive zone.

Welp. Off Muel. Dang.

They had a chance to change out the forward lines but they tried to go for an offensive rush. The 4th line did the same just before that.

It's because their shifts are too long.

Sabres need to shorten up their shifts before it costs them.

I thought a follow-through doesn't warrant a penalty. Mitts had just shot the puck.

Unbridled enthusiasm.... check!

If you're talking +/- I think that's a little unfair to Bryson. He's not a top-4 guy but he's been playing top-4 minutes. He's okay in a bottom pairing role but I would like to see an upgrade even there.

I have no idea what he wants me to think. And that's okay.

So this year's Cody Eakin, without the flow? Eh, better off in Rachacha.

OMG he's a real person with a real name! Enjoy the holiday Bill! -Paul

They call it a morning skate but it's a practice session. Doing a morning skate in the middle of a back-to-back likely saps too much energy though so teams usually skip it or make it optional.

Practice. Perhaps you've heard of it? First time in over 30 years, I might add.

Blind squirrel, nut. Honestly, and this will sound weird, but I kind of see Ollie as part of the Eichel core. On the other hand, if we trade him WHO WILL SCORE OUR EN GOALS? Won't someone think of the EN goals?

Let the Sabres be the second.

I noticed the same. It means they win big and lose little. I do think that if the injuries resolve and they can stay healthy they will be a Win Big team again and will climb back into the playoff hunt.

I don't want Alex to settle down. I want him to skate just a little faster, hit a little harder, pass a little better and score a lot more because he's so geeked up. In fact I'll call it: Tuch with 4 goals tonight.

You know what though? I think Mitts could be a decent 4C.
