And so it wasn't, at that time.

This is like when you can't even feel drunk because that one friend is so much drunker than everyone else by comparison. Can't even dislike this team's game in peace with statements like this hammering down the hyperbole. They are certainly having a terrible game.

Sorry, Jack.

Our powerplay is unacceptably bad.

This is a weird developing trend...

Alright, roll call: Who of Mittelstadt, Sheary, Okposo, Sobotka, Rodrigues, or Thompson is going to provide some secondary goal-scoring? Now is the time.

...checks out.

Do they miss McCabe that much?

Roll the highlight film!

That's quite the late call...

22 points in last 22 games for Reinhart.

He's still only 23. Not out of the realm of possibility at all. He was recently declared the NHL's new Ryan Smyth, I'll see if I can find the tweet. Love that comparisson.

I kinda like what we are paying our 6th ranked asset vs what the Leafs are paying theirs... (I know, we still have a ways to go to catch them overall)

Back into a tie for second on this list: http://www.rotoworld.com/teams/injuries/nhl/all/

Saw on Sportsnet they were doing a ranking of the value of currently rostered Leafs players, and where Nylander fit. I think the consensus was 6th. Was thinking, what would be your rank of the top 10 currently rostered Sabres players by long-term value? As if you were starting a new team today. Not easy to do, I don't think. I'd go: 1. Dahlin 2. Eichel 3. Skinner 4. Mittelstadt 5. Ristolainen 6. Reinhart 7. Ullmark 8. McCabe 9. Sheary 10. Thompson --- I think the biggest gap is after 6, similarly to Toronto.
