No I don't think so. They had enough goals I think they were playing for defense at the end. Tuch play on the PK but not so much Tage.

Well he called Krebs, the penalized player, playing the puck, so there is that.

Well he tried.

Krebs breakaway goal coming out of the box....just watch.

You just now noticed that?

Don't get carried away. A game at a time. I'll let you know if we're good in April.

Benson's a little Tasmanian Devil.

22-23 Thompson is back.

Even if it's called back, I'm leaving this up. C'est la vie

Why? It dropped right to UPL's feet.

How are the Sabres being outshot 6-3? They look like they're dominating.

It sounds like the arena mic is in a Pringles can.

That's how you sing an anthem.

Maritime Winds.

It'd be great if you're right... maybe you are. But I didn't see the Sabres do anything extraordinary against Ottawa, they just benefited from the Sens' failure to even play up to that level. My impression. I'm not a fancy stats guy and can't back that up, it's just what it looked like to me.

They weren't very good defensively last night. But when I said soft, I meant in general. Take Tkachuk off the team and they'd be like the Sabres for much of the drought. During play they just didn't have that much physicality and when they did it was not effective against the Sabres. They were Ristolainen-style showcase hits that get the crowd of their seats but weren't very effective in turning the play. Contrast, for instance, with the tenacious checking of the Panthers. Not so many big hits but it's just hard to do anything against them. If the Sabres played FLA the say way they played Ottawa, they'd have gotten spanked.

They beat an Ottawa team that, aside from Tkachuk, was soft was butter. They were not very defensively hard to play against. Most teams are.
