Clifton negates the shutout. Good deflection, though.

C-MuelPO!!!!! (it's a work in progress)

Good mitts, Mitts. And if you're a ref you've gotta call these knees or your players are going to be missing months of action.

Darthexercise complete, darthebriate standing by.

Dahlin can't take that minor, but calling offsetting roughing there is silly.

I'd be upset if I'm a Calgary fan and that isn't changed to a goal.

The responses to Calgary goals have been quick and good. Now, go get the lead.

Sometimes when you commit to a bit you have to think of the right line, go get the gif, bring back the link and paste it for the enjoyment of others. It takes time and sometimes you're not watching the replay to see the shot was flubbed a bit.

That's more Levi-esque....

I've not seen Levi "fight the puck" so much before. Since the opening shot he's just had difficulties holding it, seeing clean, and controlling his rebounds. Certainly makes things interesting, but it's a UPL-kinda interesting and not a cerebral-interesting.

He'll learn that this season. That's carryover from being the best player in Winnipeg. I noticed that a few times in the WHL playoffs. Savoie was heading off on a timely change and Benson would be out another 10-15 seconds. It is the future they see. Also, they're older. 😇

Typical savvyKadri move. Something Skinner would do and Benson will learn to do (and get the call once he's a vet).

Calgary is really foolish allowing the Sabres an open PP practice.

Looks like I picked the wrong game to start watching the Sabres. It looks like only one team practiced during the off day.

Yup this pretty much settles it. Rasmus Dahlin is R2-D2 the can-do hero of everything. And Samuelsson is C-3PO. Very important part of the team and plot. But constantly being taken apart.

I blame Russell Wilson. But, they could instead send Benson down to marinate in the W.

Huh. The game is on ESPN... but not streaming on ESPN+/Hulu. Well, here goes another game I won't see.

But that might lead him to actually believe that Tuch Icewalker and Princess Levi (as the trade-spawn of Jackikin Eichwalker and Reino Samidala) are going to lead the Sabres Rebellion to victory over the Stanley Cup... but that's just a weird and oddly coincidental movie-team wish fulfillment of my imagination. That's not how The Concept Of works. It's not going to happen just because it's written in the script. They've still got to play the games.

There's an app for that. Before you can mock the 1-3-1, you must score to take the lead against it.

Aww hell. It’s sideways. Whatever. Screw Vegas. (Though the U2 show was visually fun and the acoustics were amazing.)

Worst place to watch a hockey game ever. And will be on a plane by the end of it But a smoky thing might appease me for a bit. Cheers, ‘Spacers!

I really thought Skinner was going to go Genie in a Bottle.

What? Being reasonable? On a sports talk show? 😇

Just watch how much money they extend Hronek (traded a 1st for IIRC) and Petterson this season/offseason. They sing the same song and dance. Which is vastly better than locking up Beagle, Myers, Loui Eriksson, and acquiring OEL (and buying him out). They might be learning a bit.

It is a period of historic futility. Sabres skaters, striking from a lakeside rink, have had their first winning season in the League in a decade. Last season, Jackikin Eichwalker and Reino Samidala battled for the ultimate prize, the STANLEY STAR, a shiny chalice with names and rings to be remembered forever after. Embattled with the League's sinister teams, Sabre Levi leads the home opener assault, the hope of the rejuvenated skaters that can restore the playoffs to the franchise.…
