There's only one star on that list. The others are very good players with a few great seasons spread between them.

Great closing shift. UPL!

It's how you win scoring titles. (and set league records in EA NHL campaigns) Wait... now TNT and Tuch decide to press the attack?

Good feed by Krebs to Greenway. And... either an excellent save or just missed the empty net? Let's see the replay: missed it? Missed picking the gaping short side at any rate. But Greenway doesn't miss the ENG.

Good kill and another great save by UPL.

UPL!

JJ! Go the net!

It is the future @Brawndo sees. Cities in the clouds, friends in pain Sabres goals... the usual. They always do a good job. Not sure if Curtis Brown is still on the desk job this season (admittedly, haven't seen many Sharks games this year). After the first period, they did put a pretty good spin on it being a good period -- coming off a heartbreaking loss, etc., as though they hadn't lost 13 of 14. It was pretty Rayzory.

Better period. Gave up some grade A opportunities at the end, though. UPL had the deflectors on double front for a few very good saves to close out the period.

UPL playing soundly today. Team finally woke up and started skating a bit.

Tuched in!

I don't think Joker has the shot to beat the goalie with that one sans screen....

Mittsy! Down-town!

That was the weakest cross-ice pass I've ever seen from Benson. Way too easily intercepted.

At least the coaches have made a quick change to try to jolt them out of their pajamas.

Sabres look like a team that hasn't practiced and has been snowed in. Sharks look like a team who had endless flight delays trying to get in and haven't practiced. And both teams look like they haven't followed their regular gameday routine and napped because it's a matinee. Ugly all around.

Have the Sabres sustained more than 5 seconds inside the Sharks' zone with possession yet?

Wooo, Packers! Always sweeter against the Cowboys. And of course, don't show a single tv shot of the Packers' front office or give them credit during the broadcast for moving on from a grumpy old QB and his veterans. Just show Jerry Jones crying instead. Well... maybe that's OK, too.

I'm awake; I made it. Who plays hockey at 9 am? Justin Bailey sighting. (on the worst roster in hockey, but whatever)

Unrepentant Packers fan going to check in to the thread for a moment here because I'm not sure I'm going to be awake for the Sabres game tomorrow. @Buffalonill High five! And I hope the Bills do well tomorrow, too. Back to the game. Why are you challenging that? Just let them run the clock. And keep running them off the turf.

If Vancouver scores an ENG, I want the next faceoff to result in 150 PIMs.

Odd man rush for the Sabres and instead of driving the net and maybe looking for a trailer, they hang up high for the trailer immediately and don't even get a shot on goal because there's a thing called backchecking and good teams do it.

Clifton... you had all the time in the world to... sky it all the way to the opposite end? Make sure you get the change there.

So far he and... whoever is in Winnipeg... are running away with it.

They tried the TNT decoy low cross. Damned shame of a fantastic save by Demko though.
