Is Robert Hägg...good? 

Might be the second best part from the Risto trade.

[John Tucker]

What's the crowd look like tonight?

 

[Brawndo]

Damn

[Doohicksie]

Anderson looks like he wants goalie interference.

[Norcal]

I mean eventually the puck luck has to change. Tampa has had several tap ins already that didn't go in

I was going to say, I might have challenged that...

[CallawaySabres]

I can't wait for the day when we have a team that works this hard and actually has talent at the same time.

[John Tucker]

And that was Tampa's lone first period goal this year

[Doohicksie]

Granato gave it a look, figured they'd call Butcher pushed him in (which he kinda did).

The Sabres had a couple of them in the past. 

[CallawaySabres]

Ugh, Skinner, why still?

[DarthEbriate]

Aiming for the glove.

[Cheektorado]

Jeff.  Find net buddy!

Was he? Seems like he turned around and just fired it on goal.

Heard his name called twice. 

When he laid a nasty hit on the boards right behind Anderson.

When he cleared the puck on the 4 on 3.

If your a defenseman playing Tampa and that's it.... then your playing very well. 

 

[woods-racer]

Expect a nice change from Granato going into the second slowing Tampa's offensive zone entry.

I looked up his stats on the season and the guy is getting 70% d-zone starts and is handling it well. Better corsi numbers than Risto ever managed.

Marty with some good analysis too.  This is the stuff I'm looking for this year.  Can they tweek their play to help regain play.

Elliott wisely came out to challenge the shot.

Not much for Skins to shoot at there.

He was injured last season with a shoulder injury and I believe he tried to play a few games through it before going on IR.  Being healthy this season is a start as well as fighting for a new contract.

The eye test agrees.

I know it was tight.  I just want Skinner to pot some goals and get his confidence and shot back.  It would help SO MUCH.

[bob_sauve28]

Well, my cable is out so I guess I’ll go read a book. Go Sabres the rest of the way

I'd give him Risto's contract if he plays this way most of the season. He starting the season playing the way we (LIGER) always hoped he would.
