[French Collection]

Nice saucer pass by Sam.

[Thorner]

Sabres will have to up their game now if they want to stay in this one, Bruins might start trying now

Montour... don't go in there half-hearted. Go clear him out for poking Linus.

Haha... I still haven't forgotten his welcome interview in Buffalo where he said something to the effect of "I'm not going to be that really physical type of defenseman". I almost spit my beer out.

 Absolutely. 

[Thorner]

Reinhart looking pretty good on his own line. It's a shame it took them until mid-season, and a Skinner injury, for them to try what Bahtrill lip-serviced an entire offseason..

[French Collection]

Vesey with brutal play as a Dman there. Good on him covering for Ristolainen but I think I could skate backwards better than that.

This team is bereft:

of talent

of heart

of grit

of paying the price to win

Bereft is the word that came to mind first.

Bereft- as in deprived or lacking something.  

[Slack_in_MA]

Asplund had a great chance

[Thorner]

I like Asplund's game, it's really too bad he's got Larsson's finishing ability. 

[Tondas]

Asplund over tea kettle.

[French Collection]

Good work by. Asplund.

Can we now stop using the expression JBot and instead start using "JBereft"?  After all, this is the team he has built!

[Pimlach]

How does Bergeron not get a roughing penalty for that late and dangerous hit?   
 

That was an opportunity to go after one of their best players.  Until we stand up to these guys nothing will change.

There ya go ... ?

[Wyldnwoody44]

I just got home from a 5 mile run, miss anything good? 

[Thorner]

I'm sure he's a future 30 goal man. 

In seriousness, I have a little more hope than I might normally considering he was at least a Murray pick.

Yes, my jealousy and disdain that you can run 5 miles.

Nobody throws shade on Boston quite like the Buffalo broadcast crew. Ballsy, you gotta hand it to em.

Can you Explain this?

He’s definitely not a 30 goal man unless he develops wayyy beyond anyone has dreamed. But he certainly can develop into more of scoring touch than Larsson. 

[Slack_in_MA]

Can someone teach Sam to hit the net?

[Brawndo]

That’s not interference on Chara?
