The playoff run definitely boosted Peterka's stock & it'll be interesting to see how (if) it affected R2 Rou2's. They were the offensive leaders this playoff run. Murray finally became visible (in good & bad ways) that final game and hopefully he can build on it. Quinn's stretch drive & playoffs was disappointing but it just seemed he'd run out of gas though he was finally noticeable at moments in the final 3 games. Would like to have seen Krebs shoot more often. We know he can pass, still remains to be seen if he can develop an NHL quality shot. Thought Rousek looked good in his limited action, will be watching him & Biro next year to see if they can keep developing. Doesn't look like there's places for them at the next level, but circumstances change & even if the Sabres don't have room for them maybe a team closer to the cap would have a spot & make an offer Adams can't refuse if they continue to grow. Fitzgerald had 1 bad game but overall wasn't too noticeable which is what you want from him. Still not sold on Appert but several guys did develop which is what he was tasked with. And, so nice to see the barn full again.

Thanks for the reminder this is Monaco weekend. Agree w/ you that the race doesn't come anywhere close to the hype. But just don't see them taking it off the schedule. There doesn't seem to be anything they can do to fix it as the course is so tight, but if they threw enough $$$ at it, expect they could improve it.

Pretty sure the alternates were Marner & Strome; 1 of which was a total bust, but highly rated heading into the draft.

Pretty sure this kid is calling it. Will watch the 3rd & 4th OTs in the AM while checking e-mails & planning the day.

And we're going to ttttrrrrrriiiipppple oooooooovvvvveeeeerrrrrtime.

Yep.

How do you figure? No way Murray would've actually MADE those picks. He'd've gotten in the history books as having been the guy that managed to trade away 7 of the top 31 picks in the deepest draft in more than a decade.

Don't know about them. This guy is exhausted & have only been watching.

And then Amerks nearly have 1 going right back the other way.

HUGE stop on the breakaway by Dell,

How late are they going to be able to hit guys?

And we're going to dooooouuuuble oovvvvvveeeerrrrtime.

Nice pair of saves by Dell. 7:00 minutes left. Another nice pair of saves after a bad turnover on the rush. 5:57 left. Faceoff to Dell's left.

Prow's point shot trickles wide. 😞 No data. Laval feed hasn't changed.

15 seconds left in PP, so 2 D out. Davidson was the extra w/ Fitzgerald.

1st unit out now. Quinn's attempt blocked into the crowd. Ice cleaning stoppage. 9:31 left.

PP coming up as Tischke was tripped. 11:16 left. 2nd unit starts it.

14:00 to go. Krebs behind the back backhand pass somehow finds Quinn but he can't find Peterka after starting to cycle. Faceoff to left of Dell. 12:48 left.

Dell w/ the desperation stop after Laval pressure due to JJ breaking his stick. Dell doing his best spinning bottle impersonation after yet another desperation save.

Krebs w/ scoring chance that gets blocked.

PP over. Laval ices the puck. 18:03 left. Quinn can't split the D. Faceoff to Primeau's right. Amerks ice it. 17:06 left.

MacInnis, Malone, Peterka, Laaksonnen, & Quinn to start the PP. And after huge turnover in front of Amerks net, Amerks get lucky & block the shot.

@Ogre & Mrs. Ogre made the broadcast. Cool. Haven't noticed any other SabreSpacers yet.

Agreed. But, he hasn't scored in forever. Pretty sure he doesn't have faith in the wrister at present.

1:00 left in regulation. That Laval PP goal was the only 1 not scored right in front of @Ogre. Amerks PP coming up w/ 22 seconds left. If they don't score quick, it'll carry over. 1:38 left in the PP when OT starts.
