All star selections have always been weird. If it was completely fan votes there would be some even crazier picks.

Someone pointed out the Atlantic division has exactly 0 defensemen on the All-Star team. WTF??

[Dryballs]

A big difference ..... Thais year Raz started pushing back/refusing to be denied! ... I think that's huge. ..  Also.. Power is starting to show and it/maturation should come more quickly to Power as he doesn't need to learn a new culture....... Oh man ..... the future's so bright, gotta wear shades

Dahlin reaches the 50 point mark in his 43rd game of the season. He reached the mark in his 76th game last season.

He’s been markedly better as of late.  I think having Jost carry the mail for that line has allowed Casey to play smart simple hockey. 

Jost has solidified that line. And as you aptly described made that line play a simpler game. After the extraordinary Dahlin pass in OT, I thought the Mitt's pass to Olofsson for a score was the second-best pass in the game. 

Jost was a terrific pickup. The cost was zero. Good GM move.

Shoulda won in regulation, had plenty of opportunities.    

Could be an important point against a team ahead of them in the standings.   

Do better.

 

Did you see the look on Sorokin's face after Cozens scored?  That's the look of a man who gave absolutely everything he had to win, and still lost.  Pure disbelief.  He was great.  And the Sabres still won.  The Sabres were terrific, Sorokin was *almost* better.  There is no "do better" tonight, my man.

My cat was NOT happy on that OT goal

I think Sorokin was looking to see if it was offsides. It was close

If you can’t figure out what THIS giant red X is for, I suggest you take a look at my Twitter at the amount of photos I have of a certain special little guy

Now I know that @Thorny not only thinks I was trying to mute him (wasn't) but also that he likes cats.  Just weird, man.

The only good cats in history are Aslan and @LGR4GM

UPL looked like a starter tonight. What a game. 

[Doohicksie]

Okay, now start another winning streak.

He generally is.  Like Hinostroza + a double cappuccino and a snort of coke.

It was, but that didn't matter.  Eventually the law of averages prevailed.

If last year was Tage and this year is Cozens, next year is gonna be Krebs.

Change of strategy tonight  instead of giving up a goal in the first 2 mins of the 3rd they gave up a goal last 2 mins of 2nd.  We will see if it pays of for them.

Olofsson is playing good two way hockey last month or so… Like a different player… Mittelstadt brings out the best in him.

JOST.  Jost brings out the best in both Ollie and Mitts.  Claiming him was a masterstroke.

Would be interesting to see them determine if the player preceded the puck over the blue line when the puck is overhead.

As great as it was, I honestly might be more impressed by Cozens ability to collect and settle it moving at high speed. Great all-around play.

Skill. Hands.  Hockey smarts.  Size.  Cozens is going to a really good player.
