Two hours north maybe?

lol OK. What do you want?

'lol' what? 

How is it about what I want? It's the rules in the NHL rulebook as far as I know. Players deflect the puck intentionally all the time on a delayed call and the whistle doesn't get blown. 

You have to possess the puck for the whistle to go.

Sobotka is much better than any game last year. But he’s been our worst forward too. 

Do not agree with the bolded.  Vlad has made me glad to watch this game.

Finally got to a TV.  Sobotka is drawing some high praise from RJ.  Can’t wait to see what he did to earn it.

He's played a pretty physical game tonight.

Guess I owe Krueger some faith. Very well. For tonight at least my concerns were wrong. 

Don't surrender yet on the Vlad point at least as I saw equal parts scary to better play

Control is the act of propelling the puck. I don't know how anyone could argue Reinhart didn't propel that puck.

Sobotka has been better than I would have expected...

He has been much improved no doubt. I still think he’s the weakest link and Rodrigues should get his nod soon. Okposo isn’t far behind losing his spot either.

Don't know, Okposo seems to work well on that 4th line.   They have some nice chemistry.

He didn't propel it, he deflected it. That's why the ref looking at it didn't call it. But whatever, you are right, I'm wrong.

If the only thing Kreuger does is stop them from running around in their own end, turning the puck over as if they meant to right in front of their net and helps them to not be clueless as to opposing players standing wide open near the net with nobody around them, they can win an extra 5 games easily this year.

For five years Sabres coaches have talked about playing a transition game with speed. Tonight is the first time we can see what that actually looks like.

I'd say Z or KO were worse, both for squandering chances.  But the word "worst" with the Sabres implies something that I don't think applies to any player in this game tonight.  Less or least effective, maybe, is more fair.  Not one of these guys really dropped the ball in this game...so far.
