Can we not attempt to maintain possession a lot more? You know what the Sabrez need? They need to assemble a practice squad not made out of skilled players, but beastly players who will hound them one on one and aggressively guard the net. Then they should run drills where the Sabres attempt to maintain possession and take the puck to the net. Goals scored from the point or anywhere outside the slot are not counted.

I recall that not too far in the distant past this team could actually complete passes. What happened to that team?

Oops. Penalty when we don't need one.

If the Peguins drop down yet another gear in the third we stand a chance.

Need your goalie to stop that shot.

Okposo won't carry the puck to the net to save his life. Every shot of his is low danger.

I think that's right, but I think Power still has a lot of learning to do before settling into his role. Not his fault, of course, but his lack of experience at times is very noticeable.

Would you agree he's hurting the PP?

I agree with @LGR4GM that we played them just about even according to the eye-test. This was the kind of game we haven't seen in a while 'round these parts: a lunch-pail effort to get the win. Was far from perfect but they did indeed put in the effort tonight. They'll probably play a tighter game tomorrow. Mitts' transformation and game-day guts should be an inspiration for the team. The players routinely hurting this team right now are Krebs, KO, Power, VO and Cozens. I also think it's not helpful to have two AHLers at a time starting a game if they don't need to.

Mitts should be the captain of this team.

These refs...

That was a very nice goal.

There are other teams?

What a difference a legit goalie makes for this team.

Everyone needed that Skinner goal, even Minnesota.

The last two cycles they were taking the puck to the net. They've figured it out and it is glorious.

KO: the skating aged.

See, that save by Levi I'm not sure UPL saves.

I'm afraid he's going to be one of those guys who hangs around because KA and/or DG don't want to give up on him.

The arena will sell out on the regular when it's worth selling out for. It was always sold out during the Lindy years and the season ticket waiting list was obnoxiously long. The economy is fine here relatively speaking. All one has to do is look at the home record over the past 10 years to understand why home attendance is lacking..

His upgrade code expired after regulation.

Wrong team, but whatever. That first shift thought they were going to be studs.

Please win the game before the SO.

Why is KO on the PP?
