He's done a really nice job given that he's not an NHL goalie and hasn't been in years. But they've been riding him pretty hard and it was bound to catch up. Even an NHL goalie would struggle playing so many games in a row on this condensed schedule. Nothing but respect for what Tokarski has managed to do.

Tokarski is out of gas.

Just not quite sharp enough in this one.

Yeah, he's been the difference in this one. The Sabres have had their chances despite the shot disparity.

The amount of penalties that don't get called on Boston is nuts

Cozens going coast to coast was very exciting

Boy that was a comically weak interference call

They're not playing bad but Boston basically has their number so far.

Do we know that Granato was a Ralph hire?

Even if what pi says is true, what I'd be interested in is how often they're giving up second and third opportunities off of an initial shot on goal. It seems to me like Tokarski is seeing a lot of one and done opportunities. Best way to make a replacement level goalie look good is to make sure they don't have to be Hasek to keep followup chances out.

He absolutely slammed the door on Paul in another post game earlier this season. I forget what the question was but it was the usual Hammy BS and Sam wasn't having it.

If every loss looked like that they'd have a lot more wins.

The kids are giving it all they have, Pittsburgh looks good today though.

These refs suck

You makin stuff up like Dreger, too? TSN ain't gonna hire ya.

I don't know and it doesn't matter. The team can't be seen as a doormat for star players, so it will act accordingly. If Jack wants out then it's his job to show up and earn the Sabres the best possible value in return. That's his only way out.

That's exactly what I'm saying. He's a competitor. He's not going to sit in the press box for a whole season just to make a point. So his only option is to play and play hard, if he is a man of character. Then maybe the Sabres do him the favor and give him his way out. But he's not going to strong-arm them.

Jack Eichel is a hockey player. That's the only thing he knows how to do. I think the Sabres would be more than happy to call his bluff on any kind of protest he might stage. He's more than welcome to pout his way out of an NHL career if he wants to.

He can't. He has a contract. He's here and he's gonna play, or he can quit the NHL and go play in Russia until his contract is up. He has no leverage.

Filthy monarchists

All of them. We cannot allow these shenanigans to continue.
