Are we still doing 'phrasing'?

Krebs 6/9 and Östlund 3/3 are having abnormally good nights.

Another good period, gents!

Oh. It was Perfetti getting a piece of it.

Hellebuyck is only costing them $8.5M on the cap. With the rising cap, they could spend that much on a backup. But I still think that if I'm an opposing GM, the Sabres have to retain for me to consider trading for Luukkonen. If I'm a good GM, Buffalo is sending me a sweetener to take a backup with that contract. 'Effin' eh, Milic! Bloody hell.

Good defense, Östlund!

That's got to be a penalty. He was on a breakaway if he isn't interfered with.

Good to see Malenstyn back out on his next shift.

Tuch! That shot was one in a million, kid!

Mayyybe a rental-level D from a team that's checking out and needs a goalie to start a rebuild. But yes, it's likely only a pick. No one needs a backup-level goalie with that much salary and term.

Good slot save by Luukkonen to just stay square and tall. Keeps it 3-0.

Milic. Nice job, kid (making it to the NHL). (Former Seattle T-Bird)

I give Ruff credit for recognizing that Cozens is not an NHL center and saying, we've tried -- we've got to move him. We know Norris is a good player and provides a positional skill set this team doesn't have. So... he's got to be healthy.

After 1 period...

A plus-shot, 200', good faceoff, fast center on this roster --- really does tie the forward lineup together. They are sluggish, and they're getting the Buffalo version of Comrie.

Norris!

Krebs, Greenway, and Power almost combine for something gritty and pretty.

Good kill, gents. This crowd needs to appreciate their PK more. It's the strength of the team this season.

Norris changes everything.

Just crossing the Comrie Revenge Game off the list....

Norris is an assist machine!

Stinkberg for Stenberg? Or would that be the Penguins motto? Stinkburgh for Stenbergh?

Win tonight and they're at NHL .500 (which is meaningless). But if they do win tonight -- BOOK IT -- today will be the last time the home audience sees them below NHL .500 this season. It's all sunshine and lollipops from here on out. If they win tonight. You know, if they can avoid getting goalied by Comrie (or anti-goalied by Luukkonen).

I was going to say you need two hands to play quarterback, but that snap was five-hole. He still doesn't have two hands. Every sack will be a fumble. What are you doing backing into a deep zone? Just sit short on every route!
