One more game to go….

Whatever the outcome of the test, just let her know she’s the best girl in the world each and every day.

Players get old and lose a step, but that doesn’t mean they can’t still play an important (lesser) role as long as they’re being paid accordingly. MoJo is having one of the best seasons of his career. Complete resurgence. And he’s making less than $1M. It’s the anti-Sabre palm tree tax contract. But if I’m Guerin there is no way I go into the playoffs with him penciled into my second line.

But just imagine how big the falloff would be as soon as they learned he wasn’t being canned. They’d lose 30 games in a row. Just jettisoning his dark side ways will be such a boon to the franchise. The key will be getting a decision maker with a legitimate playoff vision and the respect of their fellow GMs.

The Quinn Hughes deal makes Minnesota (if healthy) a potential threat to Colorado and Dallas. But what they really need is to go full Florida and trade with the Sabres to add to their ex-Sabre factor including the new guy who helps them get over the edge. They already have: MoJo, Hinostroza, Foligno, and Bogosian. Add Tuch and now we're talking Cup contender!

Coooooool

I don’t know who won or lost the Jarry trade. Does it make either team better? Bur what it tells me, in addition to Colorado moving both their goalies last season, is that it’s a lot easier to get a goalie than Sheevyn has made it out to be for the past 6 years.

Well, they won a game I saw in person -- it's pretty rare in VAN and SEA. But dang was it some sloppy hockey. As we were walking out I told Lady Ebriate it was their first regulation road win of the season and an adjacent Canucks fan looked at us in horror before disappearing into the crowd.

They are quick. And replacing Elias Pettersson (the #40 one) in the lineup with Kampf is a choice, but akin to Greenway in for Norris.

The Sabres aren’t good. But with the exception of Hughes, they might be outright better than the Canucks.

Gah! Kozak couldn’t find it in the air.

No Death Star Alamo this period, gents.

3 goals on 13 shots. That’s Sabres level goaltending from Demko tonight.

Son of a biscuit. No stupid goals against in the final minute. Or penalties !!!

The first for the son of Ben!

This pp is Benson Doan and McLeod. TNT and Dahlin on the point.

Rosén wears the helmet super far back on his head. And it just paid off. To the PP.

One the one hand, Kuntar goes into the corner like a honey badger. On the other hand, Vancouver gets Hughes out against that AHL line and yikes it’s dangerous.

TNT quiets said crowd.

Crowd is awake now.

He tried to go for a change and got caught. He should’ve just gone off and let Timmins sprint on.

Muel should’ve just changed. *****.

First period note: Kuntar had a good disruptive shift and the following shift was the Dahlin goal. Nice. Dunne-Rosén-Quinn on the PP. Let’s see how it goes. Eh. Like you’d expect. Extended Canucks short handed possession. Blergh on the late high sticks and Vancouver goal. They’d had nothing from the middle of the ice prior to that.

D’Ebriate and the Lady Ebriate heading out for a cocktail and then to the arena. Maybe we’ll incite a Goodbye Adams song.

There will be such a breath of fresh air on the organization once Adams is gone. But we all know how this will end… https://tenor.com/bzDYD.gif silly links on phones somehow Sheevyn returned.
