JS Dea scores on a great solo effort. Amerks 4-2.

Just able to report on tonight's game. Amerks up 3-1 in the second. Mittlestadt set up Murray for the 3rd goal. CJ Smith has 2 helpers.

About to have one of those on the PP after the game. I'm gonna win this one for sure.

Big time

He barely touched him.

Johansson had to be embellishing. That elbow barely clipped him. I kinda don't like this guys character. Casually watches Dahlin get mugged. Lays on the ice like a dead person when someone touches him. Yuck.

For more Nucks goals

This team makes me want to Skydive without a chute.

Dahlin lost his jock at the blueline.

I have no idea what he was watching. It was apparent live, on the replay and on the second replay. As you said he skated right by Ray to celebrate with the bench. Is Razor looking at fish on his phone or something.

You want to see him naked? I mean we all have our preferences.

Personally I think it was McCabe being bad a hockey.

Beagle just giving it to Dahlin and Johansson just stands there and stares at him. I screamed do something at my computer. This team just doesn't get it. You can't let your franchise dman get worked over and just stand there. SMH.

Whoever is on the air is bloviating about the GD Bills officiating...STILL. I don't know about y'all, but I moved onto to next season 10 seconds after the game ended. Judging by the Bills thread, it seems as if lingering around and rehashing Bills losses is fun for you. I don't get it. I don't understand it. Why torture yourself?

The team has a dearth a talent. They dressed 2 D as forwards for several games. The injuries and call ups decimated their forward ranks. Their D core is ok defensively and good offensively but when Gilmore and Redmond get a majority of ice time. Their defense suffers, they just aren't sound in their own zone. They really thrived for quite a while with the not ideal lineup due to the hard work of the pluggers. Unfortunately, the lack of top end talent has caught up with them. Losing Pilut really hurt and they can't score now. CJ Smith scored for the first time in 8 games. JS Dea isn't scoring at his PPG pace, Tage is hurt, Mitts is still figuring things out. It's basically 3rd and 4th line AHLers trying to claw their way against some pretty loaded lineups. It's hard to watch as they are a group you want to root for.

Most would argue those aren't 2C. I'm drinking and listening to Rush so I'm not gonna.

Borgen just blasted an opponent and a teammate came to the blastee's defense and wanted NOTHING to do with Will. It was comical. Borgen was out for blood too. Bascially begging for some fool to expose his face to those fists.

I'm gonna bury myself in some whiskey and Rush. Thanks Neil for some kick ass ***** music.

Who are you trading? Cuz Risto ain't getting it. It's gonna have to be Cozens and/or 1st round picks. That would only make this team's problems worse. They need to hold onto draft capital and draft the right freaking players which Botterill still has the jury out on him.

They aren't soft at all. They have two guys in their lineup regularly who's main job in fighting. Borgen, MacWilliam, Cornel all drop the gloves. Video to come.

Amerks were outshooting Bellville 9-1 at one point and trailing 1-0. This team is going through a tough stretch. Now trailing 2-1. CJ Smith with the tally.

Sorta. No Sabres fans would claim either of those players were difference makers. I suppose you cold argue those players go top 5 ninety percent of the time. If those are the Sabres "good" first rounders (minus the HOFers that everyone knew would be good selected in the top 6 of the draft), it really speaks to how awful the rest of the lot was. Right now our roster should be supplemented with the young stars we drafted around the Eichel and Dahlin drafts. Instead we got Mittlestadt, Girgensons, Risto, Reinhart (I love him but for 2nd overall he's fallen a bit short), Nylander (who thankfully turned into Joki), Grigorenko (who was used to get ROR who we gave away), Kassian, Pysyk, Armia. If those guys were added to a core like Boston, Chicago or Pittsburgh, those teams probably don't miss a beat. Trying to build around those guys as your core, yikes.

I didn't count Housley or Barasso as they were gimmes like Eichel.
