Mustache of God

Much better period. Let's build on that. Hope to not see Alamo mode 5 minutes into the 3rd, and no defensive gaffs in the 3rd. Just win baby!

Sobotka is SOOOOO bad. Holy *****.

I'm liking Baloos game tonight.

Really wanna see Dahlin spring out of the box for a breakaway and BURY it. Like seeing him throw that hit there.

Phil musta gave a hullva good intermission speech. This looks like hockey. Please continue doing this.

Is the lack of...anything...is that on the coach? How can the players appear to be so disinterested? Six shots in a period ain't gonna cut it.

Yawn. Can you decline penalties? Where's the ***** urgency? Your season is slipping away and nobody looks like they give a damn.

ULLMARK!

Sobotka with the heady play /s.

Skinner saved a goal with his back-check.

Scotch is a great idea, pouring a glass now. Cheers everybody!

I hope the Sabres can stop their tailspin tonight. Get a W and build from there. My interest in this team is fading fast and I wish that wasn't so.

I think yes. The absence of Bergland has "promoted" Sobtoka to playing way more than he should. It's scary just how ineffective Sobotka is considering how much ice-time he gets. Counter-point, if Bergland didn't ghost us then we'd be wringing our hands for the next 3,4 years trying to figure out how to unload his contract.

Aroused.

This win doesn't mean much if they can't beat the Rangers on Friday followed by the Devils on Sunday. Two teams they better not "play-down" to. After those games we have Tampa, Washington and Toronto. The next 4 points are mandatory as the following six will be a challenge.

Superbowl champions, you say?

Woof. Did Baloo refer to PH as Phyllis any time in the past two months? Is he in the doghouse? I'm amazed Hunwick is playing over him, or not sitting Scandy for a night to give him a chance. I know there was the "trade-request" for playing time, but he's played twice in 2019 and the team has been awful during that stretch. Would playing him be worse than Hunwick? I'd imagine he'd be playing hungry and desperate. I'm trying to recall but he didn't look that bad this year, did he? Certainly not as bad as last year.

Pre-mittlestatd news, I'd also really like the look of the line-up if you swapped Smith for Sobotka. Oh well....

They're saying Mittlestadt left the ice early in practice and might be a no-go for tonight. If we're lucky we'll see Sobotka slide into 2C and score 7 goals tonight.

No, you're right. As soon as I posted that I looked at it thought "hmm...that doesn't look right, but with context people should understand what I meant". Anyways, it seems highly unlikely that Buffalo would be able to land Hubey in this scenario as it'd depend on a trade & sign for two players, plus CBJ would be getting a sizeable return for that package, I don't see how Buffalo makes sense here aside from fantasy trade scenarios.

I went through a Murder She Wrote phase on year when it was on netflix, used it as a sleep aide. People are so casual about murder in that show. Everything ties up so nicely and it's usually hunky-dory by the end, smiles all around. I also think Cabot Cove has the highest murder per capita in the entire world. Anyways, I hope the Sabres murder the net of the Islanders so badly that Angela Lansbury gets hoists herself out of retirement to solve the case. Turns out it was Jack Eichel all along.

Wouldn't Huberdeau be sent back to COL if they're trading Panarin and Bob?

Sobotka, Scandella, Okposo and a 2025 7th round pick. Do it.

My original thought would by First, Guhle, & Nylander...but i'm sure there'd be other players / picks involved both ways.

What is ERods ceiling? In the last 12 games he's put up 6g and 4a...but his first 36 games he had 2g and 9a. I'd hope that he can develop more consistency in his game and put up a more measured pace. Is he capable of hitting 50 points as a 2nd/3rd/4th line roamer? His effort is undeniable, and with some boosted confidence it'll be interesting to see if he's a streaky scorer or growing into something special.
