Do we know exactly what happened or the play he got hurt on? Knee? Groin? Hip? Something else?

There is no way I am breaking up The QPC Home Shopping Network Line. I want them to do what gives the best chance of winning.

Wow...seems like a lot when routine offenders get one game for far worse. How many games did the guy get for slashing the dude in the back of the head the other night?? UPDATE:. It was Leafs Pierre Engvall and he got one game...so Skinner gets 3 for a crosscheck and Engvall gets only 1 game for literally swinging a stick at the back of a guy's head?? WTF is with the NHL? Total BS.

There goes that one...

Bullcrap...they got a point but would have been nice to not see them on a PK in OT. They were the better team

Defend the goalie... don't crosscheck a guy in the face.

Skinner has to be aware of the situation...no reason for that

What a pass by Quinn

Oh Captain, My Captain!!

Such a bad goal to let in

And NHLPA Player of the Week

How you feel about this trade being proposed by Yotes fans?

Briere in 06-07 had 95 points and was the last Sabre to do so...here is a list of all the Sabres with over 90 points. Also...how the hell did Mogilny score 76 goals but was only a +7??

Over/Under 5 goals?

This should be Tage's new goal song.

What if this isn't an outlier pace for Thompson anymore?

Too bad we didn't have Greg Bauch there for Play By Play last night...

Clague has the best CF% on the team, FWIW

They aren't mediocre. They are actually really f**king good. As long as Samuelsson plays. Mediocre teams don't lead the league in scoring. Ever. I would much, much rather have an elite offensive team that needs to shore up defensively than the other way around...a defensive team that struggles to score. Unlike those teams that were trash analytically(bottom 5 team) and it was expected they would fall back down because they simply were not good teams and had a lot of fluky/lucky OT wins that were not sustainable, this one is REALLY good analytically. A top 6-7 team in the NHL by those metrics. By the same token, you should expect this team to start moving up the standings. Or does it only work one way with you?

Nope...Thompson is 2nd most all time for a Sabre in the first 26 games of a season---pretty elite company: LaFontaine: 48 points(1993 season) Thomspon: 40 points Perreault: 39 points Perreault: 38 points Turgeon/Perreault: 37 points

Sabres have scored 5+ goals 10 times now this year. In other words in nearly 40% of their games, they get to at least 5 goals...if that isn't best in the NHL, it has to be top 3. They have scored 4+ goals 16 times this year, or 61.5% of games. That is absurd. But now the question becomes...how much is their free-wheeling style leading to lots of goals against? And could they be better being slightly less free-wheeling and more defensively responsible?

1) I don't think so. Just keep winning more. 2) It depends. Mostly on Samuelsson being healthy. For whatever reason he seems to be the key for them.
