Caps have no trouble scoring but their D and GT look suspect. This will be a good test, bring your A game boys. Heads up for Tom Wilson, he could cause someone to miss the Sweden trip. Let’s go Buffalo!

That was a great third period and OT.

Wendel Clark was drafted as a D-Man and played wing in the NHL. If I had to move someone up I would try Montour.

Florida losing helps

Maybe the extra room in OT will allow our guns to fire.

Sobotka with an assist. Offensive juggernaut! He has played better this season, I’ll give him that.

Sturgeon Falls, a few hours northwest of Halliburton.

I have trails cut to prime destinations.

I live in the bush, I think of Gerber knives.

Good to hear, I’m stuck listening on the radio.

Respect the Yates but kick their butts. KBC is the new”least favourite” place for visiting teams. Get loud folks! Let’s go Buffalo.

It was the Heritage Classic, an all Canadian team game, held every once in a while. I guess it’s not promoted in the US. The networks are not interested. It was a good game. Interesting locale, Mosaic stadium, football stadium in Regina Saskatchewan nearly halfway between Winnipeg and Calgary.

Cozens with 17 pts in 13 games while Pekar has 20 pts in 13 games. Alexis Lafreniere is leading the QMJHL in scoring with 36 pts in 15 games, not bad for a 17 year old. Quinton Byfield is doing the same in the OHL with 29 in 15.

McCabe’s post game interview was good. Kept the cliches to a minimum and spoke intelligently.

A lot of high shots hit Linus up high, probably has a few dings on his mask.

Adversity dealt with, thank you Detroit.

Solid game by Ullmark!

1 on 3 and they take a penalty.

I hope Dahlin can get a point on this PP, get some positive vibe back.

A couple of nice plays by Olofsson on that PP.

We need Jack to step up this period and show that this is his team.

Here in Leafland, the Emergency Medical Services would have to double their resources. Half of their Stanley Cup parade floats have already been built.

If the Sabres are in the playoff hunt and Scandella is still playing well, I keep him for the playoff run. How much would he bring back? Does he push another team over the top, making the team regret the trade? The team chemistry could be permanently disrupted. If Pilut or Gilmour could play at Scandella’s current level it could happen but we know how important depth is in a playoff run.

Love the Leafs in 11th place. I’m in Toronto for a few days, wearing my faded goathead hat. Drinking from my Sabres mug.

Similar hair.
