I liked Stillman's game as a 6. Hope he clears concussion protocols by next mid-week.

If it starts a VO hot streak in which the COMRIE! Sabres go 12-3, I'm good with it.

No trip. No interference/crosscheck with Cirelli. Nothing. No high-stick on Hino. Nothing.

Power looks gassed. Losing the 6th D-man in Stillman looks like it's catching up.

Egads! That was just plain brutal. No haste whatsoever. You're still playing the game, gents.

Biggs Krebs, Coz Wedge, let's close it up. Let's get 6 let's get 6 full throttle.

Or knee-hunting, as the case may be. Refs are bit late to start with the makeup calls. You've got to do it before the game gets out of hand or people get injured because they're being allowed to do anything.

TB sitting their top line for punishment? Or so they don't get hurt while the rest of the roster goes headhunting?

There... Sabres will get a 0:10 PP in just a bit. Your wish is the ref's command.

Why can't Krebs pass that?

Oh. And that is how you start a period when everyone expects you to go Alamo Death Star mode. Remember, the Death Star also has a laser cannon.

Quinner, Skinner, Saturday dinner!

If Quinn stays on the top line he'll get to 20 this year.

That's how you finish a period.

Quinn! I... I like these sweaters.

Did Stillman take a hook just before? Then decided to accept a fight instead and it was the wrong decision. Really, there's no reason at all to fight there. We're up 3-1 with the crowd and momentum behind us. Poor IQ. And all that said, hope he doesn't miss much time with a concussion.

JOSTER!

They got the calls right, at least. Dahlin with a penalty for clipping the leg even though unintentional because Cirelli spun. And everything else matching.

Stillman and Boussh is more entertaining after a whistle than Bryson and Clague.

That's a kill!

Some really good efforts by Boushh and Muel on the first PK shift.

Oh what the hell? How can it look even worse on replay?

Well... I guess... hits are OK, but don't you dare let them lose their feet today in anything other than a hit or it's getting called.

Hino has the sneaky good shot that Asplund didn't. Barely saw it this season after some good shots last year, but it's still there.

Hino! Stillman hit, a little chippiness, and the Sabres start taking over.
