I have to say, last night I went through the Eichel videos and was impressed. I recall the World Juniors and remember I liked Eichel more. But this here was a championship for his school, annnnnnnnnnnnd, I wasn't impressed with what I saw out of him. I kind of was expecting him to turn into beast mode the last five minutes and win this for them.

What's the storyline with this guy? Lots of focus on him over Eichel, I would say, during this game. Meanwhile...I wonder if this means Eichel is going to want to go back and bring home a championship.

Poof, the magic has left for now.

This is a fun game.

OMG, loose-y goose-y.

Lindback has made his position clear. He has no visitors after the play.

Did I say Lindback is awesome? Because Lindback is awesome.

Lindback is awesome.

I am enjoying Bogo's game. No, just a minute ago. It was loud and clear.

Agreed. The notion that he was doing what he was doing despite management's plans is as fabricated as any other narrative. The only truth we have is that Nolan completed the objective, and made the Sabres look credible while doing it (which means he upheld his side of plausible deniability). For all we know, Nolan exceeded all of the internal goals set for him. Even Hackett, for all we know Murray said "I don't give a damn about him," and Teddy made it look good. And there's no way Babcock comes here? Bullsh$t. There are as many good reasons for Babcock to come here as there are for any place else, maybe even more.

DAAHA. DADHAHAHAA!! I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING~! It's possible, ya know, that he does. Hear, hear! And TBphD, too. He was better than Lucy, and cost less, too.

That's the best quote I've seen in ages.

PULL THE GOALIE!

HOLY F?CK WE DID IT!!!!!!

WE DID IT!

WE DID IT!

It's no good! We're too close!

STAY ON TARGET!

Loosen up, Gold leader!

Stay on target Gold leader...

They're coming in. Three marks at 2:10...

No! Commercial bad for nerves!

4 minutes. Stay on target...

In a way, I am morbidly curious as to what tomorrow's game will be like if they win tonight. Who can resist looking at a crash scene?

This third period sucks.
