K-9

If not for UPL, I’d say the Sabres take this game rather easily.

That’s all true. Emotional crap happens … and sometimes it costs you any chance to win an important game. Like last night.

Good point.

Yes, he had a good game and was perhaps our best player on the ice. Kudos to Casey. Now, have another, then another, and another, and another, and another … Id that’s the case, then it’s on Donnie G to step up his game.

Two games in a row they got their butts handed to them.

When he proves it to be more the rule rather than the exception, I’ll be first in line to give him credit. Until then, he had a good game for the first time in a long time, nothing more.

I doubt any team is fooled by his once in a few months good game. They know the book on Casey and I doubt the Yotes would be demanding him as part of any deal. Maybe as a throw in perhaps.

Yeah, we’ve been saying that about Casey and Co. for a long time as well. I’ll need to see a good six game stretch like tonight before I can get excited.

I appreciate your finer point, but I can’t say any game is good when we just give it away like that. Flat out gifted them the win.

Yippee. The fact we describe their time between good games in months says it all.

Say what you want about our goaltending, our lack of D depth, or any other aspect of this team, our biggest problem is stupidity. Our stupidity lost us this game. Full stop.

I was strictly speaking of our comparison to the Penguins so perhaps I misunderstood your post. Its easy to see how much better the Pens are than CBus.

Were you of that opinion when we were handing them their ***** the first two periods. We got away from the game we were playing earlier while the Penguins found theirs.

Well, that sucked. The old man shoulda had that.

Looking for Tage to a fault on these PPs.

Damn.

Are they trying to give the game away with stupid penalties?

That’s always been the patter. And it makes me cringe when is defenders all scream, “I told you so!”, every time he has a once in while moment.

How many times do we say that about him each year? If he gets hot for a week, great and good for us. But I’d have to see a 6 game stretch like that before I’d be even close to convinced he’s turned the corner. That said, he atoned nicely for the bonehead penalty with a couple beautiful plays. I’m sincerely happy for him and VO. Nobody needed it more.

Note the date and time. Because it may be a while before we see the likes of a play from that line again.

Thanks, Mitts. Ya dumbass. Way to kill momentum.

Stupid play by Mitts.

Dylan is a man!

I wore my team jersey to the IRS office and i ran red lights the whole way there.

That third D pair, whether its Bryson/Fitz or Bryson/Pilut is just gonna continue to worry me until any combination of those three no longer exists.
