Well we got out of that period even, with 2 goals each side. Sabres level of play dropped in the second period. Win the 3rd and win the game. This will be a good test for two fringe playoff teams. Both teams have been rebuilding at the same time and are likely to be rivals for quite a while. Last year Detroit was a bit better than Buffalo. Buffalo has to be beating this team head to head. Go Goat Heads.

Dunleavy stop being stupid. Please.

Nice deflection I guess. I’ll take a flukey goal. De-Troy-it got one too.

We don’t need fancy stats to see that.

Agree. Thompson just gave Dahlin the puck and was covered. Dahlin could have taken the puck to the net. Thompson is pulling players toward him which is making room for others. Dahlin made a mistake for sure. Trying to feed a Hattie or some such nonsense. Dahlin played the defensive zone correctly and took away the pass, allowing UPL to take away the shot, which UPL did not do.

Third goal on him. Second was a flukey bounce.

Yes Rob. Too much passing and fooling around on the PP. Tie game. UPL should have had the shooter on that one.

Some puck luck for De-Troy-it

TNT explodes

Malenstyn with a big shot block. Good period. This game will be a battle.

Well PP #2 never got set up. Too casual.

Kulich in front of the net. I like that

TNT

Detroit is pretty evenly matched with Buffalo. Lyon has given us trouble in the past. Lots of hockey left here to be played.

I want to go there. Any signs of Constantinople?

Nice try by Zucker. Correct call by ref It’s a nice piece of gear. Well done.

Zuckeriffic bigs up Tage rebound. PPG.

Good afternoon Teammates, Punch checking in on a gorgeous autumn day. gonna watch this game - and then take the Mrs out for leaf watching and for a bite to eat later today. Pressure of staying inside is mounting, turning to guilt, so the Sabres have to come through. MUSCLE WEIGHT.

Division game. Home game. If this team is ever going to insert itself and make a statement this would be a good game to do it.

Dunno. When I google it I find that the slang “vibes” for vibrations was a popular term and a part of the mid 60’s counter culture. I can’t believe it was not ever used in 50’s by beatniks and/or Jazz musicians.

I grew up with TV "snowy" black and white hockey games that I picked up from the roof top antenna from Canadian airwaves. Great winter nights.

I agree that Cozens shows no apparent size/strength changes from last year to this year. He has a frame that can get stronger. It will take work. How about for next off season - less time in Yukon, less time in Europe, more time training with NHL players and coaches, more time in WNY.

Rewording - I see him peaking and being a better rounded player later in his career.

When Booby Orr was 22: GP G A Pts PIM 78 37 102 139 91 There was no one like him.
