Which player on which team will score the overtime goal? That is the question.

If we keep Ottawa off the board this period, I'll boldly predict that they might just win.

McLeod really showing something in his opportunity to get off the 4th line.  

Gee Kevyn, maybe you should try to get another vet or two?!?!

Which youngsters do you wish weren't playing, so two vets can?

[Pimlach]

Zucker is a smart player and very willing to go to the dirty areas.

Keep power on the bench would be another way

[HumanSlinky39]

This is what's so infuriating about this team: they'll have nights like this where they will tease you with what they're capable of...then follow it up with several sludge farts.

[inkman]

Can we have Gilbert and Clifton in the lineup every night?

Which means we'll trade him for a small Swedish AHL winger .

OT: is there any tune better than the HNIC theme? It takes me back 50 years in a great way.

[bunomatic]

Lets not forget the Sens have been playing like sludge lately but I like what I’m seeing from the Sabres.

As much as I like Benson, he still should be developing elsewhere.  Krebs comes to mind as maybe another.  

[Pimlach]

That was “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath on the keyboard at the rink.  Nice

They’re playing a team that is worse than them. There is no magic formula, they are winning because they should be winning, based on talent alone.

Yes it’s good.  I’d like to throw in the old ABC MNF theme as another favorite.

Consider this. If the Sabres did this: W-L-W-OTL-W-L-W every 7 games, that's .642 and with 41 games left, would get you to 87.

I heard that kid get hurt too Rayzor.  Hope he is ok.  

[Huckleberry]

Bad way to hit the boards.

[bunomatic]

The Sens play by play lady isn’t bad. A little too much yackety yack between her and the color guy while play goes on but she’s pretty good.

We'll need a substantial winning streak to get back in contention. Let's make it two in a row tonight

Nice PK chances

IDK - the Sens are certainly higher in the standings with games in hand.  I expected a much better showing from them, but I guess any team can screw the pooch on any given night.

Wow…listen to the Sen’s fans booing their team…..brings a smile to my face

I know it's winter time in Canada, but as long as an "Avalanche" doesn't hit in the 3rd period, the Sabre's should be ok. 😏

 

[Night Train]

Just Hold On ! 

[Pimlach]

Well that was a good period.  One more to go.

I think they’re on a six game winless streak or something like that.
