That's a tap in for Sheary if Mitts looks up and slides it over...

We are getting outclassed.

Kind of an even feeling-out thing going on, IMO.

Cernak had position but you’re right that was the play

Yeah...it feels like the beginning of a big game.

Get the crews to their fighters. We’ll have to destroy them ship to ship. 

[Andrew Amerk]

Oh, awesome. 

NBCSN is showing commercials during the game. 

[Stoner]

Quick pad save by Hutton on Stamkos from the high slot.

[Sabel79]

Boneheaded giveaway by Dahlin there.  Dawdling on the puck, not something I've seen him do...

[DarthEbriate]

I realize every pass is contested by Tampa but... what is the reputation of Buffalo’s ice? There’s a lot of bouncing pucks and sloppiness for us thus far.

I think Buffalo's ice is always like this. I hate it from my couch. But I've never played on it, so I can't be sure.

[darksabre]

I haven't minded Thompson so far 

[bob_sauve28]

Kyle, oh!! 

[darksabre]

Kyle with moves 

[Stoner]

Dingle dangle no dongle.

[darksabre]

That was not offside

He needs to speed up his shot’s release. Like a young QB with a cannon arm but a big windup. Practice can fix that, but ROC would be a better place to work on that  

 

[bob_sauve28]

Ok, that's it, fire Rob Ray and hire some cute hockey chic to do color 

[DarthEbriate]

Dangnabbit. Good save. 

[darksabre]

Oh Sam 

[GoPre]

Nice move by Sam.  

[Stoner]

Okposo has a bee in his bonnet tonight.

[DarthEbriate]

We’re starting to warm up and skate quicker. Now, score a couple before Tampa raises the stakes.

I think she's awful as a commentator.  She doesn't bring any insight, just states the obvious.

[Tondas]

Interesting point about the right glove goalie.  Sort of like the left foot punter.  Looks like Rhino likes to go high sick side and forgot it was high glove side.

 Or a professional female reporter… Either/or.

BS!
