At least Tage and Tokarski came to play.  

I thought he looked shaky and on the verge of disaster

Very lucky to be down by one.

Toker deserves better. He's doing his job.

[Huckleberry]

At least its only 1-0 😛

They could move Bjork or Skinner to His Wing now. 

Once Mitts and Olofsson are back either put Skinner back on His Wing or have Cozens play a few games on Mitts Wing. 

If it doesn’t work then  consider Rochester. 

Leave Quinn and JJP where they are. 

Send Cozens down.  Why put him through what we did to Mitts?  Let him play some winning hockey and regain his confidence.  This season is about development not regression.  Jankowski would be a fine replacement.

I look forward to the day when Tage doesn't have to be our best player.

And really, if they closed the gaps on the ice they'd be even better.  They're giving the Caps too much respect.

They can’t close those gaps cuz they’re not good enough.

other than zone time and a deflection, were there really that many dangerous chances by W?

Still waiting for a game where the team comes out hard and fast....the home stand winning streak seems like ages ago now.

From your lips to G-d’s ears.

Except a couple guys they don’t have much intensity.  Almost like they’ve accepted defeat and are just trying to mitigate how bad they’ll lose.

This is comical. Hysterically pathetic. 

Like the Bills game.  As the temperatures plummet so does my confidence in these teams.

Sorry.  It's been pretty depressing between the two.

The biggest concern for a guy like Tokarski is that there's just no way his body is going to hold up to getting this much work every game. He's playing very well, but playing at the top of his game every night when he's a fringe NHL goalie is just going to wear him out. It feels like an injury is inevitable.

[Hawerchuk]

Seems like WSH had the puck the entire time in the Sabres zone, or am I just on drugs? No, its not the drugs, Buffalo is just skating around with nothing to show for it.

See Anderson. Good thing we have Dell to save us.

Our D is playing the man better in front of the net. Lots of pucks just sitting there with a Cap not being able to get to it. I like it.

Coach has decide if Cozens is still learning enough by playing up.  I'm not against sending him down once Mittlestadt comes back but I think they really need to integrate some of the rookies onto the big club this season.  Next season looks like they will be planning to have quite a few with Power, Quinn, JJP, ++ and that may be even harder to manage for the coaching staff.

Wolanin is playing with very little confidence. He's seeing ghosts.

Who?

[Doohicksie]

Is anyone even vaguely interested in Predict the Sabres?

Lol, no

I saw most of the first.  I can’t see us winning this one.  
 

I just want them to compete.

Only way they win is if the Caps get a massive case of food poisoning between the second and third periods.

When Mitts and VO come back, then send him down.

Glad I missed that *****.

Lets hope it gets better from here.
