How many faux pas's can he commit in 1 minute? I can't stand it when he refers to players by there first names. "...and Robin makes the save..."

Lehner didn't stop a breakaway? I'm stunned

That's the right idea, Jordan- hit someone in the face with your stick on the opposite side of the ice from the puck.

Reinhart starting to use those edges!!!

Silver lining: the rest of the core can prove to themselves that they can score/win without Eichel. They still played a great game after he went out. As far as the team building confidence and the core believing in one another, this is actually a very good test. I predict further growth will ensue.

Sam is starting to look much stronger on his skates. Not necessarily that he has become stronger, but rather he now knows how to brace for a hit, lean into a move to protect the puck, and lower his center of gravity. If I remember correctly, I noticed the same thing about Brian Campbell. His first season, he would just get pwned in the corners, and looked downright scared to battle for the puck in the corners. He then figured out how to use his quickness and leverage to win those battles- and transition/move the puck up the ice very effectively.

I believe this is the real Sabres team. The first half of the season was a rookie coach learning how to be a head coach.

Nelson can skate!

you mean, like, with the ladies? j/k, I actually think he has potential

Another nice play by Samson and nice save again

on the call: "that was labeled top-glove and Rask absolutely robbed him!" IRL: Pouliot shoots the puck 1 foot off the ice directly into Rask's glove ...not trying to take away from a good save. Just not exactly like they called it...

another comment about possession after delayed penalty

he displays his indignance with a subdued delivery of the play-call. you can hear the anger welling up inside of him. At least that's enjoyable :)

And this guy keeps calling him "bowl-yer" Is it a Boston thing? ------ look at this team!!!!!!!!

more comments on Buffalo's possession, or lack thereof, after the penalty call. I wanna hit this guy "maybe they had possession for 3 hundredths of a second" go yourself

I have the Boston feed. Their play-by-play guy gets really, really, really upset when a delayed penalty is whistled and he deems the opposing team didn't really have possession. Like, it's his cause or something.

Kane has to be feeling this is his night to break the slump

How about that. Go BU

Beaulieu did save a goal when Lehner was down and out (what a surprise to see Lehner in that state!)

Did not realize Nash's current stats. This looks pretty good for us. We will get a good deal for Kane. I'd bet people on the forum getting really impatient are not very good negotiators IRL

I was reading ppl mentioning Nylander in another thread, but thought I should post this here: I think Nylander on Jack or Casey's wing could be a stud. I only saw one goal of his in the WJC's, but this kid has some shot. That cannot be said for many players on our team. If it's just Jack or Casey feeding him, I could see him finding the back of the net a lot.

This could be, but in theory, Kane's value is not a static figure. It also has to account for what possible interested teams can afford. If a "win now" team feels confident with their prospect pipeline, and feels the gamble is worth it (if it poises them to contend for a cup), they may feel they can part with what GMBot is asking. Some teams may overpay if they feel it'll bring them closer to a cup. That's what we have to hope for.

I had it once and thought it was just OK, but I'm admittedly not a bourbon guy (except for Pappy)

plenty of time left, Rayzor assures us!

nice edgework by Jordan Nolan ...said no one ever
