French Collection

Tokarski looks like Dell tonight. Even when he stops one it has a chance to go in.

Mule with a nice hit on Tarasenko. More please.

At least Krebs had a peek before feeding Tage.

He took fewer punches than Rayzor.

Good back check by Asplund.

Nice pass by Krebs too.

Finally, TAGE!

Olivier Nadeau with the 1sr star for Shawinigan tonight. 1G 1A.

Dahlin just slicing through the Blues forecheckers.

Walm Art?

Those guys are getting tons of ice time for a s****y line. Eakin is not bad positionally but the play turns to crap when the puck is on his stick.

We’re due!

Josh Bloom with 2G and 2A tonight for Saginaw. One of his goals was shorthanded, I think he has 6 or 7 of those this season.

Levi had 60 saves and an assist. I go vote for him every day for the Hobey Baker. Poll runs for a while yet.

UPL with the win in Rochester, stopped 54 of 55 shots. Peterka with a pair of assists.

Nice scorpion save but a lot of coverage issues. Toker had no clue where the puck was.

Okposo and VO are back.

He is now an NHLer. I suspect he is not one and done.

I don’t hate it, that goaltending platoon could work and help UPL develop. Growth from the youth is key for that lineup to take a step forward. I don’t mind Orlov but he is a LHD playing the right side. I would rather a tough RHD like Gudbranson or help the Wild get out of cap hell by taking Dumba off of their hands.

I was wondering about goals to assists ratios and found this story. Skinner at 11 and Rico at 16. https://thehockeywriters.com/nhl-highest-goal-to-assist-ratios/ Interestingly, every guy in the top 25 is a winger. I usually view the centre as a distribution guy on a line and this kind of confirms my thoughts. The NHL hands out 2 assists for every goal therefore these ratios should be rare. I was just looking for ammunition to argue with the Leaf blowers who think Auston Matthews is among the greatest players ever. Great scorer, doesn’t contribute as much in other ways.

I want Tage to have a good game. I hope Dahlin can return to form, he looked a little banged up vs the Habs. 2 PP goals, 1 by Tage, Krebs and Dahlin with 2 assists each.

Low end JAG line with the numbers to back it up. Bjork’s contract can easily be absorbed if he is sent down to the AHL. Eakin can go for a roll of tape, otherwise just go away. I’d rather see anyone lose draws than him win the occasional one. Any competent C can work on this skill and get to at least 50% by next fall. Hayden just doesn’t have enough skill. Sabres need to upgrade the skill level above JAGs.

I do but the stress is wearing me out. I go to bed p*****d off and wondering why I just wasted 3 hours of my life.Last game vs Habs is gut wrenching.

Dumba could be #1 RHD. Sabres have cap space.

I like the Headstones’ version as well.
