I missed it, but I'm guessing it was another good perimeter game against a team willing to throw a body check and go to the crease.

You may dispense with the pleasantries, Commander. I'm here to put you back on schedule. This transaction is only 3.5 months overdue.

Skinner, Skinner, OT Winner!

Lazy lazy lazy offside, R2-D6.

I like the Sabres lineup (with Quinn) 3-on-3 more than the Jackets.

The Sabres are outshooting them 37:20, so almost 2:1, which is a form of domination.

Mittsy! We were getting goalied, but no goalie can repel firepower of that magnitude!

The Cozens line on the ice with Dahlin -- full control -- but no one went anywhere near the net.

Given the PP woes, sure. But if you have a 20% PP (that doesn't give up 1-2 SHG chances per game) and Quinn is healthy all year --- that's not a horrid 4th line, just middling.

Bloody good save.

With Quinn's return to the lineup, I'm guessing Okposo understands he's a 4th liner.

Through 2 periods, Robinson-Krebs-Okposo have 6:00+ TOI. This is also the correct coaching decision.

The correct line is on the ice to start the 3rd

Quinn is 12 of 14 on faceoffs? Line is 15-1 on chances? Top line.

Important, solid kill. (1 post notwithstanding)

Maybe Appert can tell GM Sheevyn.... "Our PP coach has been damaged, I'm afraid you'll have to replace it." And GM Sheevyn can be all:

Dang.

Power missed the pass, but if you miss the pass, I'd like to see him absolutely wipe the guy out along the boards. This BJ's penalty kill is dangerous!

It's the reason P.Kane's injury timeline didn't work. If Kane had been healthy to start the season, maybe you sign him (he still isn't what this team needs). But Quinn is good and is going to be really good.

I think once Benson puts on 10-15 pounds, he'll give Quinn a run for it. TNT also has a high ceiling, but isn't shifty enough to find tiny seams and isn't strong enough to just drive the net and stay there. And when Tuch is on (which is inconsistent, admittedly) he's a force, but he doesn't see the game in slow-motion I think like Quinn does.

I don't think I'll be mentioning playoffs the remainder of this season. If they go 22-4-4 in their next 30, though, then I'll be all in on playoffs.

These are the games you need to win! 😇

Good response to giving up a last-minute goal in the 1st. Playing the aggressor.

WOOOO! Tenacious forecheck and Quinn knows where to stand for rebounds.

Red D'Ebriate standing by. Breaking and bagging some prequel sets for the new year. Game on. Let's go!
