Well. At least they didn’t completely fold this time?

Because we bought a ticket to this silliness.

Left side d face off and Dahlin is on the boards and Byram straight back. Benson and Quinn nearest the goal. Is that a normal configuration?

This Kraken lineup is better with Dunn back in the lineup. Everything else falls into place.

Fantastic clean look by Kulich at about 2:30 in the third. And everyone hates Benson. Love it.

I’ve been told I’m going to help pass a banner overhead

Seriously, could this team not give up a response goal? Or not give up two opposition goals within 2 minutes? They collapse so readily after an event. Remove those type of goals and they’re probably still a final wild card spot.

Or do. Whatever.

Tage has a hell of a release in person. Now. Don’t give up a goal in the next minute.

They’re rubbing in Buffalo football highlights. Marshawn. Wide right. Etc. trolling.

They caught the Kraken in a bad line change on the PP and had a 5-on-3 zone entry and couldn’t even cleanly enter the zone.

They’re serving the Double Mountain Fa La La La Winter Ale. Maybe that will wake up the Sabres in the 2nd. Glad JJP got back later in the 1st after missing a shift or two.

It is pretty sad that even after all these years, any decent energy line grinder (like a Tanev) immediately generates a quality scoring chance or goal against this team.

They also played Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance on the organ early on.

Not from my vantage point. I believe officially the bullocks Thunder franchise took the title with them.

You’re 6’6” 220 Power. You cannot let Oliver bloody Bjorkstrand squeeze and outmuscle his way past you.

I think the Sabres 2 blocked shots already outdoes the last matchup.

Instantaneous 4th line response against the top D pair.

Amerks legend Jordan Samuels-Thomas is a ref today

And all the music is from the ‘90s. It’s slick.

Only championship banners visible: 4-time WNBA champs and retired Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson. Nice visuals though. I’d only ever sat in the ends before with some friends’ season tickets.

No work today! I'm helping a friend move in the morning, then skedaddling to grab some overpriced arena lunch and a beer and watch the Sabres blow a lead in person. Moving + Sabres game? I must have self-destructed.

It's an interesting move from the Yzerman perspective. The season is slipping away at 13-17-4 and a 4-game losing streak. Do we shake up the roster and acquire Cozens? Or do we change coaches and hope for a Coach Bump? The latter worked.

Without the publicity because it wasn't a top pick, but they've already traded away Portillo and Lemieux. I don't know whether Hagel was uninterested in signing or if it was strictly a Sabres GM saying, "it's not my guy".
