He did it!!!!

To the PP we go, now feed some TT and VO

Yeeeeeehawwwwww!

The replay is brutal.

Ouch. Joker took that up high.

Dang. Got caught running around. Hino had it and then flipped it away instead of skating or settling it. Too bad. Calgary coverage lost their announcers. It's soothing to just hear hockey sounds. Except the goal horn of course.

The game is going to look really aesthetically pleasing tonight. Low camera, shiny ice, and 2 lovely sets of unis.

I keep hoping for the Bills except when they're playing the Packers. But next weekend I don't think it's going to be much help hoping one way or the other.

Just think back on the Eichel era as the Prequel Trilogy where he was a kid with a lot of potential that ended up being transformed into a machine and wanting out of the Sabre Academy in the worst way. He and his buddy Reino (Amidala) were then traded for Tuch (Skywalker), Levi (Organa), Krebs (maybe Wedge?), Östlund (TBD), Kulich (TBD), and another still unknown draft pick; their children, if you will. Those characters will be the heart of the Original Trilogy in which 2 Cups Death Stars are skated. (And in the end Eichel may even find some redemption.) I swear, someday I'll rewrite the screenplay as appropriate.

Should be fun tonight. Last season, the Sabres got cratered by Tkachuk/Gaudreau/Mangiapane in one game as the season fell apart in November 2021. Then, the Sabres played perhaps their best game of the season by shutting out Calgary 1-0 in OT on the second night of a back-to-back after collapsing in Edmonton. The Sabres stymied them all night and outshot the Flames 34-24 in that one. Toker started both games. If the March-current 2022 Sabres show up for the full game, Calgary will be hard-pressed to remain in the undefeated column. The marketing department seems to be having fun this year.

The PK was solid. Lyubushkin was good. The second period was well played overall (and part of that was puck possession offensively, even if both goals were just transition/breaks). In the third they backed off in full Alamo Death Star mode and couldn't win a faceoff or outbattle anyone on the boards for possession and looked terrible, but before that there were definite bright spots.

Pretty blatant, but the ref is looking past it at the goal mouth and not at what's happening wide of the net. Maybe Comrie can make a bigger visual deal of trying to tug the stick away, but I'm not sure how else you'd alert the referee in time to negate the shot. It's happening too quickly in real time.

McDavid was so fun to watch last night, even as a Sabres fan. Sometimes terrifying can be fun.

That'll come. This starting stretch is a tough slate of teams.

Hope he's able to get his foot back into the boot next game.

My fellow 'spacer travellers, we have a potential starting goalie.

Tuch it away!

Bummer.

Time to run up the score.

I agree. Hasek would beg to differ.

Alright, PP. You may fire when ready.

Long shift, but no damage done.

What a terrible turnover by McDavid, just passing it to nowhere! The entire d-corps is doing well.

Great Tuchaway at the blue line. Too bad we couldn't convert that into a goal.

This McDavid guy is pretty quick.
