I haven't looked at analytics, etc... but does anyone else feel like the combination of Jost / Mitts / Olof seems to be bringing out some better hockey in each of them? I feel like in the Boston game and again last night Mitts has had a lot more possession, and done more with it.

how is that not a high stick!

skated away a lot of that PP with very little urgency

what are these ***** guys doing

Welcome back, go score some goals

And some of you thought KA wasn't doing anything

Jack's on IR, not sure he'll be back for that

OK, 6 GOAL PERIOD HERE WE COME

Yeah, tradition isn't really the right word. He literally donated the trophy that is used, it's hard to rename that. Like if you pay for your alma mater to build a new teaching hospital after you, they don't get to rename it until they tear it down and build a new hospital. And while a trophy is easily enough replaced, does anyone really want to do that in this case?

The thing is, every half full glass is also half empty. Both viewpoints are correct.

WHAT JUST HAPPENED

oh good lord

Tossed salad and scrambled eggs?

How could any of us really know - you have to assume a GM (especially someone as drive and competitive as KA) is actively working towards making the team better every single day. But a GM's job on most days isn't visible, beyond the production of the players, coaches and staff that he's hired.

I tend to listen to the morning show most days, and to me it seems when they have something to talk about with the Sabres (for example on a morning like today) they will, especially if it's positive. I think everyone over there is kind of burned out (or maybe recognizes that the audience is burned out, rightfully so) on negative talk about the Sabres, so during a losing streak, or after blowing a lead, they'll mention it and move on. As a Bills and Sabres fan, I'm ok with the ratio right now.

This is fun

we want 7

woooo

woooo

how many breakaways and odd man rushes is he supposed to stop?

Jeezus Christ That looked very close to offsides, was hard to tell from the angles they showed tho

I still just cannot believe these white pants with white jerseys. Absolute psychopath stuff, and I love it

And 3 others are out injured? The guys who are playing are borderline NHL / AHL guys, which is kind of what you expect when you're playing your 7th man and 2 call ups. Anybody more accomplished is going to push out the young guys from needed playing time, they're not going to be able to stash solid NHL defensemen in the AHL.
