If only we had had a surplus of some position that could have been used to cobble together a package for a center on an expiring contract or two-year contract from some rebuilding team... yup. Back in November there was no way to know Hutton was going to fall apart, but there was a solid roster and Mitts and MoJo already were known to not be the answer this season. Alas... next year, I guess. (Still possible mathematically, but it'd require womp-rat style accuracy.)

I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit. Hutton winning a game in Nov or Dec or Jan. Skinner scoring in 2020 before today. And --- a fascinating stat from the Pens broadcast today: This is their first consecutive loss in regulation since... November!? If the Sabres avoid the ghastly stretches (10 losses in 11 back in Nov-Dec; 6 losses in 7 in midseason), then they're right there with the playoff bubble.

Good game, 'Spacers

Got a little lackadaisical there.

I must remember to destroy those Pens after my breakfast has been eaten...

Good shot, Red 2. Nine.

Dahlin, you'll have to make a harder pass than that.

Whoops --- right right. No 4 on 4. Still 2 tics on the PP.

Lazar for Malkin. Let's rock some 4 on 4. Get Skinner out there, coach!

Feel the Skinner around you!

No, Mr. Pens announcer, that one could not be the winning one.

Precisely. The head is connected. One of these guys could hit me in the hip and my head would flop around like Dooku's.

Now Ray, that is what a good road period looks like.

Nasty Hornqvist there. Clean, but nasty.

My scope's negative, I don't see anything.

Risto just threw that guy out of frame...

That was too close. Stay sharp, Girgs

Like a brand new full bag of Big League Chew in the back pocket. (Except I saw him administer the gum.. it's single stick, individually wrapped variety)

Pitt forgot they were on the PK and started wandering way away from the slot and from Jack

Impressive. Most impressive.

Negative, it didn't go in. Just impacted on the surface.

Pitt coach breaking out the gum.

If we played every game at 10 AM, I'd have too much beer too early. And we'd be much better record-wise. No one expects the Sabre Inquisition at 10 AM.

Assemble, Reino Squad!

That Blueger guy is quick.
