I was enjoying that.

Killing my shutout stat line in fantasy.

I'm not sure that isn't a high stick.

Completely outworked. We're weak. Soft as butter.

What the f*ck was that?

Dude is having himself a real pity-party of a game. His body language has been giving him away.

Eichel forever tossed from the faceoff dot

Score App says he's leading centers in ice time...

A timeless classic.

Why wouldn't you challenge that?!

That should be goalie interference

Eichel come on. Get your head in the game.

How come when our d men take shots it never hurts the guy who blocks it?

Problem is that we know they can't do it for a full game and repeat that effort in the next game.

I like the pace and physicality so far.

Torts looks like he hits the tanning bed up a smidge.

It is.

It's "Douuuugie"

:lol:

You really think the Larsson line is playing more shifts tonight? I don't.

Right. It's not a demotion, it's just the correct lines. It's what the lines should have been from day 1.

Sure sounds like it.

Right. Pommers may not be the guy the room needs either. We always criticized the guy back when he was part of the old core for his white bread demeanor. But at least he can still play.

I'm more worried that, as I've posited before, we lost two years of development under Bylsma. I think Jack desperately needs to be coached. But he has to buy in to what the coach is selling (as does the rest of the team). Good veteran influence might help too. I'd like to see Pommers stay on Jack's line because Pommers is more of a vet influence than Moulson or Gionta. Maybe still not enough though. This is the tough part about having a completely gutted team with no well respected veteran Sabres on it. There's no one there to say "I won on this team and this is how we do things around here".

Perhaps Williams never makes that move if he sees Jack bearing down on him out of the corner of his eye...
