Eleven

Keep it to the Johnson thread please.

Ok boys. Here we go.

Nice, Samuelsson. Now win the face-off and get Levi to the bench.

Read up on the analytics of when to pull a goalie when down 2 or 3. ABSOLUTELY in an elimination game.

Well, unless you want Peyton Krebs as Power's partner next year, he actually IS part of the solution. To get a sixth skater out there.

GET LEVI OUT OF THERE ALREADY

They already don't have enough defensemen.

10:44 left. Granato needs to draw up strategies for six skaters during this TV timeout.

Gotta pull Levi with 8 or 9 left now.

Who didn't see that coming a mile away when he had the puck between the circles for two whole seconds?

Granato hasn't read my memo, I see...

Here's what I want to see in the third: 1. The following should not be on the ice, FOR ANY REASON, unless and until the Sabres take a 5-3 lead: Okposo, Greenway, Bryson. Girgensons and Krebs should be used sparingly and only to spell other tired top 3 line forwards; likewise for Lybushkin on D. The other guys have all day tomorrow to rest. Shorten the bench, and do it NOW, not with 5 minutes left. This is an elimination game. 2. Restore Thompson to his natural spot between Skinner and Tuch unless he's mortally wounded. This is not a "dump on Casey" thing for me--this is a "that line succeeds" thing. 3. Granato needs to play the percentages and not be a chicken when it comes to pulling Levi. If the Sabres are down 2 with 4 left (or even 4:30), do it. If down 1 with 2:30 left, do it. This is NOT the time to go all Leslie Frazier and crawl into the shell.

NJ isn't coasting.

Because Ryan Johnson's agent gave him $1000.

That one's not coming back

Oh FFS

There we go J-J!

Isn't it top 25% in the league? Or close?

My friend who is a huge Devils fan sent it to me--even she is making fun of these uniforms.

What's next? Jerseys that say "Sweater?"

Don't traditional channels do this as well?

From @dudacek? I don't see it, unless I'm missing something.

He told the Sabres at around 9 or 10 PT today that he would sign sometime? Or he told the Sabres that he would sign at around 9 or 10 PT today? I know we have a little language battle going on in another thread, but this time it makes a difference.

Well, congrats? I guess? And good luck cleaning that up?
