DarthEbriate

A mere 5th rounder in 2020. A handful of picks earlier, the Sabres took local kid Matteo Costantini.

From a person who has an entire Red Group... Gold Group (except the minifig they've never made ["Pops"]), Grey Group, and is working on a Blue Group... No, it's not a problem. It's only a problem if we unlearn that learned that it's not a problem.

The thing that I need to see is a team that keeps it close. Last season, the Habs got beat by the Caps in round 1 in five games. But every game was a slugfest and some empty-net goals (except for the game the Habs won). The Habs did not go gently into that good night. Thus far, this is not that showing from the Sabres.

Well, at least I've got a May the Fourth Lego set to put together. ... ... ... At least I've got that sandwich to look forward to. Sad as snake's snot.

Xhekaj does what Stanley is afraid to do, just sucker punch someone against the boards. Where is the Stanley who sucker-punched Tkachuk?

I'm on record as saying I wanted Montreal for a changing of the guard in the Atlantic. Well.., we're seeing it. Even with Barkov back, I'm not sure Florida has the speed to handle this. And you can only grind so much before the refs just say enough. Tampa learned that.

The two youngest teams in the playoffs. Though that's counting Sabres like Pearson and Schenn, who don't count.

What a bounce off the stick for no icing. In my experience, there's no such thing as puck luck.

Dang, good save there.

The PP is better when they win a faceoff.

Really, really, need this one, gents. I need Tuch to go to Tosche Station for some power converters.

Good shift by the Norris line, but you need to build on it on the next shift and the next.

Unrelated to Ebriate.... Has anyone ever tried Brucato brand (CA-based) amaro - Woodlands. It's really solid on its own, but I'm trying it with various bitters, other amaros, and some sweet vermouth as Manhattan variants. Someday I'll get the ideal mix.

Biggs, Krebs, let's close it up. We're going in, we're going in full throttle.

Zucker is clearly fighting through something and the through is generous. Now, is it worth it to kill a year of Helenius' contract term vs. putting Pearson in? That's Jarmo's call. I guess it comes down to: do you think the Sabres are better served getting younger up front next season - have you penciled Helenius into the top 9?
