Why has it taken 20 years for someone to punk Marchand?

and there’s always this guy.

Hopefully that’s the case because on top of that, they still have reinforcements incoming.

Was this Power's best all around game as a Sabre? He seems to finally be using his body size as an advantage.

I’ve heard good things about your milkshake. brings all the boys to the yard, IIRC

That was the general impression I got... so it's verified I guess. It's almost as if they were holding them back so they'd be fresh when killing penalties.

Sucking fat through a tube is my dinner plans.

Kodak Kozak, Hey that's pretty good. Both he and Malenstyn played more time short handed than they did 5 on 5. Amazing job on the PK.

Anyone know of a free site to watch a replay? Mine shuts down once the games over. Thanks

A marked improvement on the last 6 years of sabres hockey

I think he's a bottom sixer who will be part of the team going forward. He may get bounced back to the AHL, but I think late last year he shifted from an AHLer to a tweener in my mind, and I think he is moving from tweener to NHLer as we speak.

Didn’t see any of it as we were on the road, but sounds like a quality effort and good result. Let’s get to .500.

Yet no penalty. Hmm. I wonder where Colin Campbell's son works. Maybe he even has a sliver of ownership.

Better shut him down for the season, just to be safe.

I guess every game is 'winnable', but I don't think they have things easy coming up at all... Montreal and Detroit the next 2....both are 4-1 and actually look really good....then a home-and-home vs Toronto? Its not exactly the Isles, Flyers, and C-bus. Their next 10 games have opponents with combined record of 31-16.

That was enjoyable. Let's keep it going.

You brought up Kozak. A few other post brought him up also. Is there a growing opinion that he should be a permanent member of this team, and any chance anyone thinks he is anything other than a 4th liner?

He kills Brad Marchand's pride...

Lyon is the starter. Get Ellis a game or two to see who is the backup. I think it's actually "whoomp there it is," but you're forgiven.

So this thread has become @Thorny discussing sucking fat through a tube.

Dahlin doesn’t kill penalties

Doan is better than I expected. He's doing pretty well for himself and that helps the team. Benson, though, is the heart of the team right now. I'm already looking ahead in my mind to the Sabres moving Tuch if he won't sign a long term deal, and maybe trading one or to of their other stars to shore up the build that's going on right now with Kulich, Benson, Doan, Krebs, Kozak, etc. Looking at the D, I think once Kesselring is back, the defense will be largely set going forward for the next little bit. But on the offense, watch for people like Tuch and Thompson to get moved. When I watch the team it almost feels like they're outsiders now.

Dahlin pretty much said that same thing in his post game interview. He said, "This is how we play from now on."

They seem to be playing for each other more. And also they seem to be a LOT more in sync with their passing.
