Yep. As an example, early in the year Skinner was out late when they were protecting a lead a couple of times and they got burned badly. But Skinner actually got (a little) better in his own end and he started playing more of a team game (who'd ever seen him consistently make good passes ever before?) and really played his best hockey as a Sabre & probably as an NHLer. Granato's leadership is so empowering it's amazing.

Have heard old timers push for that, but have always gone with just getting 3 consecutively before anybody else. Rare enough getting 3 in a row with none of the other 39 guys that dressed getting one (hey, goalies get 'em every now & then too); to have to get them all in the same stanza makes it too selective IMHO.

Shame they didn't start that lip from the neutral zone. The play to get it & get it up to Thompson was almost as nice.

Technically, yeah it has to be 3 straight without any others interspersed, but a lot of people use the looser definition of 3 in a row for your team.

Still real early to know for sure. But if he can keep playing like this through Thanksgiving, oh, #### yeah! But imagine how good he'd be if his confidence hadn't been destroyed I the preseason. LOL!

Had the score right. Fortunately in the wrong direction. ;) Win Saturday in Vancouver then try for the clean sweep. 3 very winnable games when they go back home & then they host the Pens. Fun times.

Asplund didn't have the puck & he was at his own blue line. They will NEVER award a goal in that situation. EVER.

Hattie!

Bad time for the icing. They weren't going to be able to get the goalie out for at least 15 more seconds.

No. Nowhere close to a clear scoring opportunity.

No idea how 4 can cry about that call.

Bryson is fine as a 6/7. But Pilut outplayed him in the preseason IMHO. Really expect Okposo being less than 100% heading into the season is why he was sent down. They weren't comfortable going on the road w/ only 1 spare F if Kyle might be out too. And they didn't want to risk losing Fitzgerald to waivers.

His goal was huge. Been a long time since he buried one.

FTFY. ;)

Another post for Casey. Would be really nice if he could join Tuch w/ a pair.

Great play in the neutral zone, perfect pass from Thompson, & then the beauty toe drag to get free for a shot. And then Comrie shuts out the counter punch.

Tuch!

Really need a PP tally here.

Really like Cozens & Peterka on offense. But defensively their line has had issues. 10 goals against this year & at least 4 were against their line.

If they can weather the 1st 2 minutes, expect you're right.

Wow. That was truly awful positioning by that ref. Sabres can't worry about it. Just keep playing like they did the 1st 39:55.

They never put an asterisk on any of Housley's stats. That said, cool for Dahlin. But go get one in Van-city and shut up any doubters.

Really nice piece of history that could stand a seriously long time. Would be nice to see him get another in Vancouver to make it really tough to top.

Would expect that. The q becomes does Jokiharju go to IR or do they send Quinn or Sheahan down?

Did you not watch the last game? 2 day old news. ;)
