For those who adhere to the Bowmanian scheme of 10 game segments:

The Sabres pulled nine points in the first segment. Not nearly enough. Twelve would do.

They are 4-3 in the second segment. Three more wins would give them the most points in a segment since 22-23 and put them a relief pitcher's ***** hair below a playoff pace (94 ish points when you probably need 96 ish to be safe).

Three losses and it's a disaster (69ish point pace).

This team has struggled the last calendar year plus a month to get out of its comfort zone. Segment totals: 10, 10, 7, 11, 10, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8*.

This is a delicate point in the journey back to Stanleyland.

Bowmanian.  I do like that one.

I've seen Philly a few times this year and they are not very good, but Michkov is. The PK and PP have to be better or they might give us trouble. We can beat them with speed but if we stand still and let them play physical things can fall apart fast as they counter quickly. Which goalie we get matters. Ersson can be very good and Fedotov is really really bad. 

Time for Cozens to stare down his demon. 

[Night Train]

Crap. 2 of our very best players out. Get well. I won't get too upset with a loss.

West Coast trip next and we need a healthy lineup for that.

The Phlyers see the size of Buffalo's new scoreboard and raise them the size of the numbers on their sleeves.

Nice hit by NAK

[Doohicksie]

NAK started the game with a bang.

Bet Cozens enjoyed that

[Crusader1969]

I can't imagine there is another top line winger in the league with worse accuracy than Tuch. 

[Doohicksie]

Cates tried to start something.  Gilbert ended it.

[Pimlach]

Cozens OMG be smarter. 

[DarthEbriate]

No penalties for elbow, crosscheck, or roughing after the whistle. Nice. Good job, refs. Let them sort things out after the whistle early.

The tv production of this game is hysterically bad. 

[#freejame]

Not a great looking start. Fourth line looks sharp early. D physical.

Why does Dan call Zucker, Zooker? 

[zow2]

I’m at the game and it’s electric. Not sure Levi and the boys will be up for this.

I’m watching to see Torts lose his mind about something. It’s the little things.
