Nope. We’ve found our starter. 

At least for the next game.

[JohninMinn.]

Eichel tonite for the double header

 Go Flames!

[Eleven]

I got to see the second, third and OT.  Nice game.

I think we knew Tampa was going to score a lot, so ok.  The Sabres scored more.

Smart to start Comrie tonight, because tomorrow is definitely the more important game.

Can we talk about how happy that team was for Boosh.

After missing Okposo get an elbow to his temple, they had to let that go. *****!!! 

 Reverse of an even-up call.

After seeing the replay a few times I am shocked that Looby didn’t get called for hooking.  

Oh it was for sure a penalty, but it's tough to make that call with the Lightning already on the pp in OT

Stamkos chicken winged his stick and then just fell over. The angle from the net out shows it good. 

True.  But the way the calls were going …

41-23 Tampa outshooting the Sabres. Big win.

Looked more like chin music to me.

[Taro T]

6 goals on 23 shots against Vasilevskiy.

Sweet.

Don't look now but a win tomorrow moves us into a wildcard spot.

Bush has a great honker.

Yeah, it was hard to see. The replays weren't from the best angle.

[Stoner]

Good wibes.

Never heard it called that before.

Ilya needs to clear his throat. Sounds like he has a few clams stuck down there.

He also growls as he figures out what he wants to say when answering questions.

I just called 716 867 5309. It rang and went to VM. Lol

[K-9]

Duffer just made a great point. If not for the penalty, then Boosh never would have been on the ice. It was meant to be.

[JohnC]

Lyubushkin is going to be remembered for his winning goal in this game. But aside from that sparkling play I thought he had one of his best games of the season. He played with toughness and passion all game long. 

Tage should be given the first star in this game for his hat trick. But you have to give Skinner credit for his passing and accumulating assists. There should be no more talk about his sizeable contract. He's worth it. 

Krebs's was exceptional on the draws. He won almost all the ones he was involved with. 

Mitts played well. But he was lazy getting to the bench for the too many men on the ice call at the end of the game. I blame him for the penalty, not for the person who jumped on the ice. I agree with @K-9in whom to attribute blame. 

Although Comrie gave up 5 goals not all of them were his fault. To his credit he made some timely stops at critical moments. 

The Sabres beat a good team with a world class goalie. The opposition goalie didn't play to his usual elite level. 

The Sabres played with heart even when they faced adversity. I felt that I was riding a roller coaster watching this game. Many ups and downs. 

If we can come away with a point against Florida I will be more than satisfied.

Well we only had 2 in the 1st period.

Or he's a Wookie relative.
