Fedun son of Budun got an assist as well
Gorges and Girgens. RORy, CORy, and Cody. Beinhart, Beichel. Kuli, Kane, and Carri.
-
McCabe and Risto now together, Gorges and Franson... is this just a result of the powerplay time? Or are we going with one major pair to attempt to tie and the slowest other pair?
-
A defenseman goals!
Dammit, I meant to call Franson as the first Buffalo D goal scorer.
Well, I'm glad he did.
Sabres: :w00t:
TB: :sick: :sick:
I had Fedun... but he passed the puck instead. Remember... trust your feelings!
-
I'll trade Larsson on the PP for Hedman on the PK. PP Sabres. Now let's execute.
-
We started the game well, had good chances, drew uncalled penalties, but didn't score. The Moulson Lightning has since woken up... and we can no longer exit our zone or connect on an up-ice pass. Blergh.
-
Nice save, Mr. Bishop. I guess she doesn't like the cornbread, either.
-
What the hell was Girgensons doing there?
Yeah -- was it a weird bounce?
Is the Zemgus having the most disappointing season so far? He hasn't pushed for one of the vacant top six wing spots (Ennis, Kane, or even Okposo early on). He hasn't hit. Hasn't made a mad dash and just driven to the net ala that one goal vs. Detroit (like 4 years ago). What happened to the Latvian Locomotive?
-
Tampa's 3rd or 4th penalty of the period... good.
Got a good feeling about a defenseman PP goal. Fedun maybe?
-
Trump man, changing ###### ;)
The worst part of Bylsma's system is how no one is ever in the center of the ice on offense
I think it's just the Free Game (at least it is on the gamecenter/xbox thing, whatever it is I use).
-
Wait ---- so we drew our Xth 6th man on the ice penalty of the season when we were jumping on the ice to replace the pulled goalie? Is this real?
edit: Oh good -- miscommunication. Better than us taking yet another too many men in the absolute most pathetic time hockey-ly possible.
Yes Moulson, let the dark side of the Moulson flow through you!

Came into the family room to watch the game and my son had just started watching Star Wars, I think he may be on to something
The question is, am I wearing my cool cape? If yes, then you'll be entertained. If I'm in robes... less so.
Sabres w/ Eichel + O'Reilly = A film w/ me and my cape and helmet
Sabres w/o Eichel + O'Reilly = A film w/ kid me or rattail me or me wearing robes

This is always the correct choice.
Nice pass by Reinhart. And lately everyone has been hounding Risto on the forecheck (led to a couple hooking penalties a game or two ago, and a turnover tonight). They know he's going to carry it. Time to look for the pass, Rasmus. Change it up a bit.

I can think of 7, Wild was one. this is going to bother me now
Heat, Magic, Jazz... Thunder. Lots of NBA teams.

Casey Nelson to Rochester.
This means Kulikov is ready to go, I presume. Nelson gets lots of minutes in the AHL where he belongs and Falk is now our 7 (6 until Bogosian is back)? This lineup is better with Kulikov, so I'll take it.
-
I might quibble with some of those characterizations, but this is fair.
:angel: I quibbled with them as I was writing it. But Ennis had one of those horrible injury-riddled seasons and expected plenty of PP time (so maybe 15-30-45?) and Kane shoots all the time and was expected to play with the Eichel-Reinhart duo, so he projected to get 20 again. Basically a winger from each of the top two lines.
Average ice time I was thinking by season's end we'd see Kulikov as #2 and Bogo as #4. (Right now it's Risto, Kuli, McCabe, Gorges, Bogo in ATOI).
Edit: I had a bit of free time, so I reconstructed our probably opening night lineup without injuries and that of a comparable young team (also currently on a 4-game losing streak). Then started x-ing out people.
Neither of these rosters is very intimidating.
Lucic-McDavid- EberlePouliot-Draisaitl- KassianMaroon - Nugent-Hopkins - Pitlick
Lander - Letestu -

BogosianKulikov- Franson (Kuli seems most like Sekera, Nurse and McCabe are comparable kids, so I flipped them there) -
It's not fun right now, but this current stretch is the result of too much attrition. At the end of the Minnesota game we were 4-3-2. This was followed by a split of Tor/Ott (one we should have won, one we should have lost, with opposite results). We were doing well and staying near .500 until Jack and Kane returned.... it was working!
We knew going into the season the roster was good enough to compete for 8th, but was still a year or two away from being a legit playoff team -- I still believe that -- but it was lacking in depth. We couldn't afford multiple long-term injuries to our top 6 F or top 4 D. And... ufta! We've been hit exactly there -- going into game 1 sans Eichel and Okposo and Kulikov, and immediately losing Kane, and it hasn't let up since.
In Minnesota (a scant 2 weeks ago), Bogo left the game with an injury. Since then, and in pretty rapid succession, we've also lost Kulikov (in comes Nelson), Ennis (who wasn't scoring, but wasn't taking penalties either), and O'Reilly. And we've inserted into the lineup an injured Evander Kane who cannot shoot the puck on account of his ribs. Last night he skated in 2-1 with Reinhart. Kane always shoots that puck. He didn't.
Honestly, I'm not sure which team in the league (particularly a young one) would look very good if you took away its top 2 centers, 2 additional potential 20-goal guys (Kane/Ennis), their #2 and #4 d-men, and the fourth line. Sometimes injuries do do you in for awhile.
Han will have that shield down, we've gotta give him more time!

A Sabres fan must have the deepest commitment. Hmm. The most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life as he looked away. To the future. To the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmm! Adventure? Heh. Excitement. Heh! A Sabres fan craves not these things.
-
Where is ROR?
Didn't dress. Re-tweaked whatever it is he's got lingering.
-
And now Kane doesn't shoot? Are his ribs preventing him from shooting?
-
Kane now with more PIMs than shots on the season. Don't think he'll be able to keep that pace up, but he's got no game whatsoever right now.
-
Huh. And now a challenge. They needed a timeout anyway.
I once sent my daughter to her room. She sneaked out -- by jumping into the trash! Then she ran away with some criminal. Then that criminal helped to blow up my house. There's a moral to this story. Sometimes we all need a timeout.
-
Agree. But who replaces him?
At this point, it has to be Fedun.

Yup, back to normal.
Throw more punches at Hedman. He's too good to allow to be on the ice. Shuts everything down almost effortlessly.
