Asplund and Lazar. I like both of these guys. They seem to have grit and some skill. Amazing you can get both in one player! Someone tell Botterill!

I saw those fans. An Ottawa player fanned on a shot very shortly afterward in the same area. I noticed, too, that the puck hit some snow or something over there after being shot into the Sabres' zone. I think the ice is probably pretty crappy over in that area.

Engage Alamo mode.

Hmm...

Totally. I'm not saying Hutton will win us a Cup, but I think he and Ullmark can get us into the playoffs if the team supports them. What I am saying is that if we're looking at a game like this and hoping that the goalie could have stolen it for us, we're looking well past the real issues.

Oh, sorry, a shot was from the medium danger area on the PP. How can I be so confused?

High danger areas are called high danger areas for a reason. We do realize Hasek was scored against, right?

So, yes, you feign to qualify your remark, but you're still saying Hutton should have stolen this one. That's a big, fat negative. The defense by the Sabres was just bad. Hutton had no support. If we had some consistent, responsible defense from the team, you wouldn't be looking at Hutton as a scapegoat.

Mitts has had a horrible game.

ERod with a 2 on 1...

"Ripped wide by Okposo..."

We're in Hell. At least we're not right next to each other in Hell.

Ha, I was thinking the same thing, but opted not to type it.

I'm having a difficult time blaming our goal-tending. When the team supports the goal-tenders properly, the goal-tenders look near genius. Our guys are getting left out to dry or are beat by deflections off our dudes more than they're reasons for the losses.

His idea of "urgency" is getting angry on the bench. His passing indicates no sense of urgency on the ice.

Eichel needs an energy drink and a trip to Tibet.

Thank God. Keep him on the ice now. Under 4:00 in the first is an embarrassment.

They play hockey like a high-school team.

And Botterill was on the pregame... WTF. I think I'm officially going to occupy the anti-Botterill bunker. Someone get him a speech therapist so he can intelligently thank the Pegulas for the opportunity.
