Prospect Challenge

Fantastic shift from Nylander

[dudacek]

Surprised the Devils aren’t jumping Powell after that one.

[Taro T]

BIIIIG hit from Powell.  

And that's the proof that it shouldn't have been a penalty.  Great work by Thompson.

Wait, guys in Sabres jerseys can score on breakaways?

[dudacek]

Two shorties.

impeccable hands on each.

From snipers killing penalties.

[Thorner]

Just an easy 3 points from Dahlin in his first game in a Sabres jersey..

[dudacek]

Tage looks like a pro. Exceeding my expectations for him.

Only started watching 1/2 way through the 2nd.  (Right before the Sabres 2 quick ones.)

Obviously Dahlin's play was the most impressive.  But Nylander FINALLY not looking skinny (yeah, it's in comparison to kids, but still) gives a modicum of hope for him.

[Mustache of God]

Tage Thompson looks like a animal right now. Player of the game (besides Dahlin). He's above this level of play.

[Winston]

I want Dahlin out there for the EN hat trick. It’s what the fans want!!!

[Thorner]

Alex Newlander. 

[Mustache of God]

Where was Casey tonight? 

[Thorner]

Dahlin: "It's fun when it goes my way."

[dudacek]

Dahlin, Thompson, Asplund, Nylander and Borgen sure got their September’s off on the right foot tonight.

That was a heckuvalot of fun.

Yup

[Randall Flagg]

Asplund is 20 years old. 

He's going to be the best third liner this team has had in a long time. He's such a good hockey player.

[spndnchz]

I liked Borden too

Borgen

As he was setting up for the draw in our zone against the extra attacker late, I was thinking about how many times We are going to see that over the next 10 years.

[Randall Flagg]

I remember McCleod and Quenneville both looking better than any Sabres prospect at this thing last year. They looked like they wouldn't have made our team this year.

We were clearly the more talented team.

Maybe we were saying it during the prospects tourney three years ago; I don’t remember.

But during the past five or six years, we certainly haven’t said it very often.

[TrueBlueGED]

The kids are okay ?

[That Aud Smell]

I saw high-end quality for the Sabres. Hells yeah.

[Randall Flagg]

One minor complaint is that my immediate worries about the 2C spot are probably not going to go away anytime soon. 

[thewookie1]

Mittlestadt was quiet but still played a solid game overall. Plus that back check in the 3rd was a beautiful thing to see.

But Nylander looked a helluva lot better than you hoped ?
