Yeah it was just a matter of time before the injury bug bit us. I also think several of our guy's are playing through some ailments. Teams have really been targeting and taking liberties with some of our top guys (Jack, Skinner, Casey(because he's a rookie), Erod, Sobotka's game has looked worse other then FO but he does play a Physical game and gets a rough ride from a lot of teams. It effects guys differently as some players games appear off or a gun shy. Bad Passes, Not finishing hits, passing too soon or blindly to shy away from a hit.. TBH that's why teams get physical especially of they see it works. If the blatant penalties would get called(cross check in 3rd on Skinner was way worse that the one called on Bogo at the end of the period) and we can rise above it that physical edge from other teams would settle down.

Crazy where was that Goalie when he played for us. Made first 3 saves but lost on the 4th... Still like Hutton much better... Ok off to bed work tomorrow.. Lets start the next streak tomorrow...

On a separate note getting ready to watch Lehner in a SO in Boston to see if he can make a save..

He is not a dirty player, has no reputation for that and the hit itself was not extremely vicious in nature. He just caught him with his feet out of sync.

That's true but with my center ice package this year I have been watching a lot of Hockey and scouting teams we going to be playing. Yes Tampa is good but they don't usually play this chippy they rely on their skill game. They brought their playoff game which our team wasn't ready for. I hope Phil uses this as a teaching moment because this fire wagon hockey is what the top teams can and will play when they want to win games and we need to learn it..

I know he's a rookie and makes a lot of good plays but tonight Dahlin made a lot of bad decisions

Buffalo needs to remember how dirty and chippy Tampa was tonight and bring their A game next time

Exactly...

We haven't been challenging their skaters all night. We concede too much ice when you can tell the body checks are there..

It ain't over till the fat lady sings...

I don't like Baguette he has been a little too Marchand for me tonight.

OMG biggest difference is hutton isn't freezing the puck tonight. Too many rebounds

Thompson is our fastest skater all night.

Is elevated blood pressure for 11 games in a row bad for you?

Bite your lip...

What the he double hockey sticks are we doing with that PP.

yeah amazing he is skating fine now eh..

Why are they backing off of Callahan of all the lighting he is the least dangerous skater on that team.

Was that the 13th shot?

Yippee Tage tags it...

Ok just heard them say no Jake no more tonight...

Yeah it is that desperate. Its actually good for them to experience because there is still a lot of hockey to play and teams are not taking them lightly anymore. I expect to see more number 1 goalies and the best line ups teams have to put out against us. I just don't want to see teams start injuring our better players because Refs aren't calling the dangerous stuff

I am okay with that being his coming out party.

Well actually that has been a big part of this streak we are on ain't it... Tied in Tampa after 2 anybody's game.... Lets Go Buff-a-lo!

Yeah, we need to stop killing penalty's and start killing Tampa with some play in their zone.
