No annual pilgrimage to Vancouver this season, but I did go to my first Sabres vs. Seattle game. It didn't go so well.

GOOOOOOOALOFSSON! With the cannon... nope... just the easygoing victory. Way to bail out Toker after that gaff goal, gents!

Joker from downtown.

Great pass, Krebs. That was one in a million.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOLOFSSSSSON!

Hey! We just took it to their 4th line in their zone. Yay, Sabres! Now get a FO win and a goal.

Dahlin learning how to PK. But Joker's gotta clear that zone... he has more time for a proper Lydman Lift backhand.

It ended up being pretty exciting....

Thompson strikes back for the PK...

Fitz back for the PK

RJ explaining pop music to Ray are why they do work together as a pair some of the time. Nice backcheck by Tuch and the pickpocket.

Fitz and the forgotten Okposo

Lovely lovely lovely.

Some day we'll start dictating the action when their 4th line of all-over-30 guys is on the ice, instead of being intimidated and hemmed in by them.

Whoops. I was way off. I see.... the hat trick goal got poke checked by Montembeault and went unassisted. Still good game by Tuch, too. If Skinner shoots on the empty net Tuch could have had another. Too unselfish!

Skinner, why are you passing? First regulation win in MTL since February of 2016. The hell!

Is that 3 primary assists for Tuch?

Skinner^4

The Okposo slash? Huh. MTL announcers rightly say that's a make-up for the missed Thompson trip.

Asplund wins a board battle, gets it deep. Eakin wins a battle, gets tripped. A PP opportunity to put the coffin lid on.

Phew. Good stop, Mr. Anderson.

The Sabres could have 5 or 6 breakaway goals today.

In off the skate, but he's got a glove pushing his head backward. Good goal.

Drag-down hattie!

We're playing like we've got a 2-goal lead.
