My pup learned a new trick (spin. "Spinning... that's a good trick!") at age 5 in about 10 attempts. And my cats own me. So... pets are smart.

In my dreamy noggin... I can't help but wish that VO never got hurt this season. Early season Victor (legitimate top-6 wing) would change this entire roster once Tuch arrived.

Indeed. STL leading after two periods: 20-2 BUF trailing after two periods: 1-20-2

It's OK if Bryson is one of 6. But Bryson, Joker, Fitz (plays big, but look at the weight)... you're getting pushed around and run by forecheckers and wear down. Look no further than STL. Krug is excellent. He's the small guy. The rest of them are big. And ESPN --- what the hell! Casey Nelson is NO LONGER ON THE SABRES ROSTER!

Well, yes. But he's also an AHL goalie. He makes the first one and there's no backcheck to support, and Okposo skates behind the net. If it's Hasek and Ward or Zinger or Brown is there to clean up, we all drool over it, floppiness or not.

Bryson's good when he's in front of the one-on-one. But when he's to the side and a big guy like Saad decides he's going to the net... Bryson is basically a forward playing D at that point.

Wow. What a great initial save. Shame... especially in the final minute.

Very young, very inconsistent team. But this level of effort will win a fair share of games. Including games like against MTL earlier this week.

Dang. Great save.

Some day... Skinner is going to go in on a breakaway, fake the shot, and then skate in and deposit the goal in an empty net with the goalie 10 feet out from the crease still waiting for the shot. But today is not that day!

And a really nice play there to drop the puck, throw the hip to stop the forecheck, and then retrieve the puck. Easy clear.

Skinner deserved it... but got the retaliation. If we weren't so bad 4-on-4 and 3-on-3 I wouldn't mind so much.

Wow. STL has an 8-game home winning streak against Buffalo --- and 30-11 scoring advantage. 11 goals in 8 games isn't going to cut it.

Great deflection. Cozen's goal was a bit wonky, but I don't know that a goalie has a had a chance on any goal tonight.

Wooooooo! That was a wicked wrister to a tip.

phew.

Why is that a penalty?

And we're looking for a similar outcome from our Tuch. Tuuch.

Not to my knowledge; just the ESPN+

6 players already with 15 goals or more. We have 2 and Cozens and Okposo are on pace for it. And Tuch.

Damn. Great deflection. And Toker is blinded by the multiple players in front. That's just a good pair of goals.

Panger loves the best thing about Eakin. The mullet. Pang also hasn't had hair since... since...

STL replay.... they admit that's a terrible call.

Hayden doesn't have the wheels to get to the red line... allows the defender to close and chop the puck out of play. Two more speedy strides and that puck gets deep instead. The top line got the memo after going silent in Montreal.

Heh... whoops. That gaff didn't slip through.
