It's good to have faith in your goalie. And to have your 1D back in the lineup.

TNT sniping from 12 parsecs away.

Great save!

Timmins good in front of the net, nice little tug to help Ellis get an easy look at the shot.

This team is simply better with (Kozak, Dahlin, and a goalie not named Luukkonen) in the lineup.

Kozak picked off the McDavid pass, and then McDavid injures himself trying to make a check in retribution.

4 firsts to make up for Vanek?

Rosen almost had it, but Nurse got his stick. Dang. Check that, Ekholm.

You're all clear kid! Now let's blow this thing and go home.

Need to weather the initial storm in the third period, then score in the 4th minute to break their spirit. Because we know Edmonton is going to earn a PP opportunity or two.

Greenway just saved a goal? 'Twas Greenway. Good to be that tall and be defensively mindful.

Hmmm. Difficult to see. But I really want that 2nd round pick to be worth it for a 4th-line who blossoms into a playoff stud.

Beck - deflector shields at maximum!

Kozak line outworking the McDavid line and top Edmonton D-pairing. Great goal.

They're good little movies. Like anything popular they can be a bit annoying. Especially, when you have punks quoting it all time.

They had a quiet period from '67-'82 with only two appearances. And then... 30 playoffs in 32 years. 4 Stanley Cups. They can go pound... um... octopus.

It started fine with Zucker and the Benson rejoining the lineup, but since they've been out -- it disappeared until Rosén and Östlund got onto the top unit. Not many points from them, but they at least had possession in the zone and generated shots with movement.

Just got the game on in time for Östlund to show off his mitts. Beautiful! In the 19th minute, look to the Ost...

Johnson has also reliably played on the right side in college and thus far in the NHL. Earlier this season he had a shaky game, and took a penalty for being too physical (Ruff basically benched him as a result), but I have no doubt he'll give a better game-in/game-out performance defensively than Bryson.

This Quinnway player, with their combined salaries, would make $7.375M for the next two seasons. Just caught the highlights. Yup -- the Sabres D did what they could to blindly centering to the opposition (Timmons), only lightly pressured (Byram), lost battle (Dahlin), and unable to take the pass (Samuelsson) to give away the game. Ellis even made a very good initial save on the Byram turnover. The goalie was hung out to dry the first half of the game. TNT was able to take advantage of DeBrincat on the rush goal and again in OT. We need to see him use his size and strength more against actual defensemen who are not the size of Bryson. With Dahlin back they're allowed to win again -- it just took them a little while to remember that and get warmed up. Glad they even got the extra point. Now, go win some games in regulation.

If he were that thin-skinned he would've sold the team ages ago. But if that really did upset him, his next action should have been to tell Sheevyn, "I will never be booed by the home crowd again." And then fired him into the Sun and spent the resources to get a winning hockey ops department.

They do put on a consistently very good podcast and discussion.

Jarmo teaching Adams to play hardball with solid, if unspectacular, players would be a start. Rather than Okposo 1x3 and Girgensons 3x2.2 (not terrible) and 1x2.5 (bad -- he wasn't improving), Greenway for 4, etc.. It's an Adams Tax, not a Palm Trees and Taxes Tax. The real question to me now are the prized RFAs: Benson, Doan. (Kesselring TBD). The former 2 are guys you can include in a long-term core and benefit greatly from. Still need the 1C and 1G, but they're worth paying. But will they want to be here or will they JJP their way free and get traded for 2027 RFAs? Now, watch Tuch re-sign for 8x$7M once his agent is able to kick the signing bonus cash portion of the contract up a little higher to be a bit more buyout proof.

Hey! That's not 10. 2-4-4 in their last 10. One win in their last nine. Did Matt's memory return by being struck in the head a second time?

1-4-4 in their last 10. What will be the result of the next 10 games?
